The average person has more than 100,000 hairs on her head. Hair is constructed from protein called keratin and is only living tissue while it remains within the hair follicles. The portion of your hair that you can see is made up of cells that have already died and grows as the hair follicles produce more keratin, pushing the already formed tissue outward and producing length.
Hair grows in cycles with periods of activity followed by periods of rest. For most people, the hair grows at a rate of 1 centimeter per month during active periods. The cycle continues, alternating between periods of growth and dormancy for approximately two to three years. At the end of that time, the hair sheds or falls off and a new strand begins to grow in its place.
The average person loses approximately 50 to 100 strands of hair per day, but with so many hairs growing on the scalp, this loss is not detectable. Hair loss occurs when the body sheds hairs too rapidly or something causes the hair follicles to stop producing new strands or to produce them at a slower pace.
Hair loss affects millions of men and women and can be brought on by a variety of causes. The condition is grouped into specific types based upon the underlying problems that prompt the loss. Many types of hair loss are not permanent, and most are treatable.
In some cases, hair loss is caused by an underlying medical problem, such as a hormonal disorder like polycystic ovarian syndrome or thyroid disease. Hair loss can also be caused by severe nutrient deficiencies either due to a poor diet or an undiagnosed disease. Anyone who notices an increased amount of hair shedding should consult a doctor for a diagnosis to rule out the possibility of a serious medical condition.
Cicatricial Alopecia
Sometimes referred to as scarring or hot comb alopecia, cicatricial alopecia is a type of permanent hair loss that arises when the hair follicles become damaged. Typically, severe inflammation of the tissue on the scalp prompts the scarring of the follicles. As the skin swells, pressure is exerted on the follicles, which eventually becomes too intense and causes them to collapse or change shape. The condition may come on suddenly or develop slowly, going unnoticed in its early stages. Usually, patients who develop scarring alopecia have another medical condition like lupus erythematosus or lichen planus, which prompts the swelling.
Normally, cicatricial alopecia progresses for a set period of time in one or more areas on the scalp, producing bald patches that eventually stop growing in size. To stop the hair loss, doctors can prescribe medications to reduce the inflammation or suppress the activities of the immune system. Hair can typically not be grown in the bald patches left behind by scarring alopecia, but in some cases, a hair transplant can be performed to introduce new hair into the affected areas.
Alopecia Areata
A temporary form of hair loss, alopecia areata occurs when an otherwise healthy person's immune system begins to attack the hair follicles, causing them to rapidly shed hair strands. The condition usually causes round bald patches, and in some cases, can lead to total baldness. This form is called alopecia totalis. Patients may also lose hair not only on their heads, but on the rest of their bodies as well with a form called alopecia universalis. Doctors do not fully understand what leads to the immune system malfunction that prompts alopecia areata.
The aim of treatment for alopecia areata is stopping the immune system's attack on the hair follicles. Typically, this is done through topical, injectable or oral drugs that suppress the immune system, such as corticosteroids. If the treatment is successful and the immune system's actions can be curbed, hair will usually re-grow in the areas previously affected by the condition.
Telogen Effluvium
Telogen effluvium is a type of hair loss in which the body sheds the hairs that are in their resting face of growth, the telogen hairs. Usually, the hair loss starts very suddenly and leads to rapid thinning. Because only the telogen hairs are shed, the hair loss is rarely total, though areas of scalp may be visible due to the condition.
Often, a severe shock, heightened emotional stress or a traumatic physical experience triggers telogen effluvium. After childbirth, many women experience the condition as the body often does not shed telogen hairs during pregnancy and then begins to during the postpartum period. Once the body recovers from the emotional or physical stress or a woman's hormones return to their normal pre-pregnancy levels, the hair loss associated with telogen effluvium usually subsides. To hasten the regrowth of the hair, some doctors recommended the over-the-counter topical medication minoxodil.
Anagen Effluvium
Anagen effluvium is another temporary type of hair loss, which is marked by the shedding of the hairs in the growth phase, the anagens. The condition is typically associated with the side effects from chemotherapy drugs used to treat cancer and other medical conditions. During chemotherapy treatments, the hair loss is generally unavoidable, but after the treatment is completed, the body will begin growing hair at a normal rate.
Traction Alopecia
A temporary form of hair loss, traction alopecia develops when the hair is frequently pulled, causing the hair follicles to release strands. If you often wear your hair in a ponytail, you may notice signs of traction alopecia along the front of your scalp near your hairline. Pigtails, braids and cornrows can also cause traction alopecia. The treatment for traction alopecia involves simply avoiding the hairstyles that are contributing to the condition and allowing the hair time to regrow.
Androgenic Alopecia
The most common form of hair loss is androgenic alopecia, which occurs due to excessive levels of male sex hormones or androgens being present in the body. The condition can occur in both men and women and is often called male or female pattern baldness. Androgenic alopecia is generally gradual and without treatment, is not reversible.
A wide variety of treatment options are available for dealing with androgenic alopecia. Most treatments focus on reducing the amount of male hormones that are produced by the body or present on the skin. This can be done through over-the-counter topical medications like minoxidil, prescription oral medications like finasteride and hair loss shampoos like those that contain ketoconazole and caffeine.
Laser hair combs are a new form of treatment that help stimulate growth in some androgenic alopecia sufferers through the use of red light applied directly to the scalp. Hair transplants are another possible treatment for the condition and involve surgically removing hair from one part of the body or scalp and then implanting it in bald areas.

|Populated for centuries by aboriginal peoples, the island was claimed by the Spanish Crown in 1493 following Christopher COLUMBUS' second voyage to the Americas. In 1898, after 400 years of colonial rule that saw the indigenous population nearly exterminated and African slave labor introduced, Puerto Rico was ceded to the US as a result of the Spanish-American War. Puerto Ricans were granted US citizenship in 1917. Popularly-elected governors have served since 1948. In 1952, a constitution was enacted providing for internal self government. In plebiscites held in 1967, 1993, and 1998, voters chose not to alter the existing political status with the US, but the results of a 2012 vote left open the possibility of American statehood.

Puerto Rico has one of the most dynamic economies in the Caribbean region, however, growth has been negative for the past four years, and unemployment rose to nearly 16% in 2011. The industrial sector has surpassed agriculture as the primary locus of economic activity and income. Mainland US firms have invested heavily in Puerto Rico since the 1950s. US minimum wage laws apply. Sugar production has lost out to dairy production and other livestock products as the main source of income in the agricultural sector. Tourism has traditionally been an important source of income with estimated arrivals of more than 3.6 million tourists in 2008. Closing the budget deficit while restoring economic growth and employment remain the central concerns of the government.

American Fine Art Paintings.
Oils, Watercolors, Sketches. Nineteenth and early Twentieth Century. Hudson River School, Pennsylvania Academy, Cape Ann artists, Ash Can, Woodstock, Florida Indian River, American Impressionists, etc. I can provide some background about artists and perhaps a rough appraisal or guidance towards obtaining a value. I am acquainted with many of the best American art dealers and auction houses. Original works only, I do not follow the print market. I do NOT field questions about prints.
Important to know
I am not expert in European art. I encourage you to send questions on European artists to other experts on this service. NO PRINTS:I encourage you to seek help on prints elsewhere. Two sites come to mind: www.artoftheprint.com and www.philaprintshop.com
I have been collecting original American Fine Art for over 20 years. I have curated art shows, and I have served as a dealer, providing appraisals and guidance for the last 8 years.

text: The M Series baseboard heater is a Minimum Height Baseboard Heater. It features a High Mass ceramic element. This element has seen over 40 years experience and is an excellent choice when considering the more costly and temperamental water or oil filled baseboard heater. The ceramic thermal storage core will never leak out into your room or explode due to the high pressure that builds up in the fluid filled baseboards.

Today at the IFA tradeshow in Berlin, LG has debuted the world's thinnest OLED (organic light emitting diode) TV, measuring just 2.9mm, according to Crave Asia. The thin OLED sets have been around since the 2007 introduction of the Sony XEL-1, but the LG model has the added benefit of 3D playback.
There is a catch though. No official price has been given yet for the set, but it will likely be expensive. Jaw droppingly expensive. The Chaebol 15-inch EL9500 OLED is on sale now in the U.S. For $2,500.

What is insurance? Most simply, insurance is a contract between you and the insurance company that says that the insurance company will pay a portion of your medical expenses if you get sick, hurt or need an annual checkup and have to visit a doctor's office or hospital.
Why is it important to have insurance? Without health insurance, it is more difficult to afford medication and services.
What types of insurance are there? There are many different types of insurance companies, programs and plans in the United States, each serving different populations with different needs. Two general categories are:
Don't be stumped when it comes time to finding insurance once you turn 18. Here are some suggestions for finding coverage:
Do a quick search yourself! Find insurance options in your state
Your insurance is going to be most effective (meaning less out-of-pocket costs for you) if it covers (pays for) your prescription medications, doctor's visits, etc. Call your potential insurance company or read the insurance company's plan of benefits to find the answers to these important questions:
If you don't think you can afford the plan, there are resources to help! Caring Voice Coalition has a financial assistance program for PH patients.
Certain laws protect your rights. As you learn how to manage your insurance, keep these laws in mind:
Affordable Care Act (ACA) – a law that increases access to healthcare and enhances the quality of healthcare for all Americans. Changes from the ACA include reforms that help more children and young adults get health coverage, end limits that insurance companies place on how much they'll pay for an individual or family, allow you to stay on your parents' health insurance until age 26, and give you access to preventive services without cost.
Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) − an insurance program that provides health insurance to low-income children and, in some states, pregnant women in families who earn too much income to qualify for Medicaid but cannot afford to purchase private health insurance coverage. CHIP coverage generally ends at age 18.
Coinsurance − the amount you have to pay for a medical service written as a percent of the total cost. For example, the health insurance may cover 80% of charges for a covered hospitalization, leaving you responsible for the other 20%. This 20% is known as the coinsurance.
Copayment (Copay) − a set amount you have to pay for a medical service covered by your insurance. For example, you may have a copayment of $15 every time you visit your primary care physician.
Deductible − the amount of money you have to pay for your healthcare before your insurance plan pays for any medical services or prescriptions. For example, your insurance company may pay for 90% of your prescription costs, but only after you pay $500 towards prescription costs. This $500 is known as the deductible.
Durable Medical Equipment (DME) − medical equipment that can withstand repeated use, is not disposable, serves a medical purpose, is generally not useful to an individual in the absence of sickness or injury and is appropriate for use in the home. Examples include home oxygen, wheel chairs, pumps and inhalers.
Explanation of Benefits (EOB) − a description, sent to you and your healthcare providers by your insurance plan, of benefits received and services for which the health care provider has requested payment.
Formulary − a list of prescription drugs that your insurance plan will cover. Each plan has a different formulary.
Health Insurance − protection that helps cover the cost of and increases access to medications and medical care.
In-Network − a list of providers who participate in a health plan's provider network. By using in-network providers, you may have lower copayments, and may not need prior authorization for services.
Managed Care Plans − Virtually all private health insurance companies incorporate some form of a managed care component, where the plan implements health care measures to control costs associated with heath care services. Types of managed care plans include:
Medicaid − provides medical benefits to eligible low-income persons needing health care.
Medically Necessary − term used to describe services and care that is reasonable and appropriate for the diagnosis or treatment of a medical condition or illness.
Open Enrollment Period − the period of time set up to allow you to change coverage and choose from available plans, usually once a year.
Out-of-Pocket (OOP) Costs − costs that you "share" with your insurance company and thus pay out of your own "pocket." The most common forms of OOP costs are deductibles, copayments, and coinsurances.
Out-of-Network − providers who do not participate in the network of a managed care plan.
Payer − a public or private organization that underwrites (pays for) coverage for health care expenses.
Premium − the payment made by an employer or individual to purchase and maintain insurance. These payments are usually made in monthly installments.
Prior Authorization (Pre-Determination or Pre-Authorization) − review of services to determine if the insurance company will cover/not cover charges before the services are provided. Many PH therapies require prior authorization.
Provider − institutions and individuals that are licensed to provide health care services. For example, hospitals, physicians, pharmacists, etc.
Reimbursement − payment made by an insurance company to a provider for approved medical services.
Step Therapy − Step therapy requires that less costly and risky treatment alternatives be explored and deemed unsuitable before more you can pursue more costly and risky options.

|The Sultanate of Brunei's influence peaked between the 15th and 17th centuries when its control extended over coastal areas of northwest Borneo and the southern Philippines. Brunei subsequently entered a period of decline brought on by internal strife over royal succession, colonial expansion of European powers, and piracy. In 1888, Brunei became a British protectorate; independence was achieved in 1984. The same family has ruled Brunei for over six centuries. Brunei benefits from extensive petroleum and natural gas fields, the source of one of the highest per capita GDPs in Asia.

Brunei has a small well-to-do economy that depends on revenue from natural resource extraction but encompasses a mixture of foreign and domestic entrepreneurship, government regulation, welfare measures, and village tradition. Crude oil and natural gas production account for 60% of GDP and more than 90% of exports. Per capita GDP is among the highest in Asia, and substantial income from overseas investment supplements income from domestic production. For Bruneian citizens the government provides for all medical services and free education through the university level. The government of Brunei has been emphasizing through policy and resource investments it strong desire to diversity its economy both within the oil and gas sector and to new sectors.

- Description
The Queen City, Cincinnati, was settled in the late 1700s on the Ohio River across from the confluence with the Licking River following the adoption of the Northwest Ordinance in 1787. The name Cincinnati is said to be homage to George Washington who was called a Latter day Cincinnatus. One of the city's nicknames, The Queen City was immortalized by the poem, Catawba Wine, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in which he refers to Cincinnati as the "Queen of the West". Another name for the city, Porkopolis, came about from the city's lead in the production in pork products in the early 1800s.
The city has always had a decidedly German influence but the flood of German immigrants in the late 1800s changed the nature of the city. The German immigrants brought their architecture, city design, culture and brewing heritage to the city. Breweries in the city were a major part of the economy until prohibition shut down operations. In addition, anti-German sentiment during the two World Wars resulted in many German named streets in the Over-The-Rhine (OTR) region of Cincinnati being renamed.
Today, Cincinnati is home to more Fortune 500 companies than any city of its size. Businesses like Proctor and Gamble, Kroger, Great American Insurance, Scripps and Fifth Third Bank. The two major universities, University of Cincinnati and Xavier give an academic culture to the city.
Cincinnati is home to an outstanding zoo and some excellent museums like the Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal, the Cincinnati Museum of Art and the Krohn Conservatory. Professional sports teams, the NFL's Cincinnati Bengals and the Cincinnati Reds in baseball's National League bring sports fans to Paul Brown Stadium and Great American Ballpark.
Foods that characterize Cincinnati include metts which are characteristic local sausages, Cincinnati Chili which is a spicy meat sauce and sharp cheddar cheese over pasta and Goetta. Goetta is a mixture of ground pork and coarsely ground grain fillers that was developed by poor German immigrants to stretch precious meat.

Thanks Josh. I am pleased with this shot. I have passed by this park several times that thought that it would be a good place to shoot across the river to Cincinnati. I made a lot of snapshots that zoom in to many of the landmark buildings in the city.
Wow! Amazing photo, Steve!

Check out our review of the HP ElitePad 900 tablet.
HP knows it needs to get back into the tablet world, but after the HP TouchPad disaster (a tablet that sold so poorly HP had to hold a fire sale at $100 a piece), it's treading lightly. The ElitePad 900 is the first attempt to dip a foot back in. It skipped the Windows 8 launch entirely and though it's supposed to come out anytime now, we've barely seen it. Until now.
The ElitePad is one of the better Windows 8 tablets we've used. With a 1280×800 pixel 10.1-inch screen size, a new 1.8GHz dual-core Atom processor, 2GB of RAM, 64GB of internal storage, a microSD slot, and 8-megapixel camera, the ElitePad meets all the standard specs you'd expect in a Windows 8 tablet, but doesn't push the envelope. HP doesn't appear to be packing a lot of custom software on the ElitePad either, which isn't necessarily bad.
HP's hardware does raise the bar a little, however. The ElitePad has a nice aluminum body with a decent feel to it, reminiscent of Motorola's Xyboard tablets a year or so ago. More interesting than how it looks on the outside is how its put together. Instead of screws and bolts, the ElitePad's back panel is actually held together with a special kind of magnet, allowing the panel to be popped off quite easily and serviced, providing you have a fancy tool.
If you don't frequent power outlets very often, HP also has a snap-on battery extender, which adds some bulk to the fairly thin tablet, but also nearly doubles its battery life from about eight hours to 14-15. HP also sells several docks and a keyboard dock, which also extend battery life.
Overall, HP's ElitePad 900 isn't pushing any new ideas, but it may become a popular device among those looking for a stable, decent Windows 8 tablet with good battery life. It's not always the innovators who do best, and HP has learned that first hand. But at $650, it's no bargain.
