Wind erosion and associated dust emissions play a fundamental role in many ecological processes and provide important biogeochemical connectivity at scales ranging from individual plants up to the entire globe. Yet, most ecological studies do not explicitly consider dust-driven processes, perhaps because most relevant research on aeolian (wind-driven) processes has been presented in a geosciences rather than an ecological context. To bridge this disciplinary gap, we provide a general overview of the ecological importance of dust, examine complex interactions between wind erosion and ecosystem dynamics from the scale of plants and surrounding space to regional and global scales, and highlight specific examples of how disturbance affects these interactions and their consequences. It is likely that changes in climate and intensification of land use will lead to increased dust production from many drylands. To address these issues, environmental scientists, land managers, and policy makers need to consider wind erosion and dust emissions more explicitly in resource management decisions.}, keywords = {JRN, wind erosion}, doi = {10.1890/090050}, author = {Field, J.

Indices of vegetation dynamics that include both green vegetation (GV) and non-photosynthetic vegetation (NPV), that is, brown vegetation, were applied to MODIS surface reflectance data from 2000 to 2006 for the southwestern United States. These indices reveal that the cover of NPV, a measure of vegetation brownness and a component of ecosystems worldwide, is highly variable in both space and time in the study region. In the more mesic regions of the study area, the timing of peaks in NPV appears to result from simple senescence of GV at the end of the growing season. In these regions, the amplitude of GV cyclicity dominates the total vegetation signal. In contrast, in arid and semiarid regions, the amplitude of cyclicity of NPV dominates the total vegetation signal, showing the vegetation of these regions to be unexpectedly dynamic. Shrublands of southwestern United States exhibit temporal behavior in which the annual peak in NPV cover precedes the annual peak in GV cover by a few months. Several explanations for this behavior are offered. This study shows the importance of vegetation indices that include NPV, or vegetation brownness, in understanding terrestrial ecosystem dynamics, as well as the response to change for these ecosystems.}, keywords = {JRN, woodlands}, url = {bibliography/10-051.pdf}, author = {Okin, G.S.} } @article {65857, title = {A simple method to estimate threshold friction velocity in the field}, journal = {Geophysical Research Letters}, volume = {37}, year = {2010}, pages = {1-5}, abstract = {Nearly all wind erosion models require the specification of threshold friction velocity (TFV). Yet determining TFV of wind erosion in field conditions is difficult as it depends on both soil characteristics and distribution of vegetation or other roughness elements. While several reliable methods have been established for characterizing the spatial pattern characteristics of roughness elements, there is currently no simple, accurate method for quantifying soil surface effects on TFV. This study provides a physically-based, fast, and easy-to-apply method to estimate TFVs on both bare and protected surfaces. Wind tunnel experiments and a variety of ground measurements including air gun, pocket penetrometer, torvane, and roughness chain were conducted in Moab, Utah and cross-validated in the Mojave Desert, California. Patterns between TFV measured in wind tunnel and ground measurements were examined to identify the optimum method or combined methods for estimating TFV. The results show that TFVs were best predicted using the air gun and penetrometer measurements for crust-free or slightly crusted soils in Moab sites (R2=0.90, P<0.001). This empirical method, however, systematically underestimated TFVs in the Mojave Desert sites when compared to wind tunnel measurements. Further analysis showed that TFVs in the Mojave sites can be satisfactorily estimated with a correction of rock cover (R2=0.83, P<0.01), which is presumably the main cause of the underestimation of TFVs. The proposed method may be also applied to estimate TFVs in environments where other non-erodible elements such as woody debris and postharvest residuals are found.}, keywords = {JRN}, url = {bibliography/10-09.pdf}, author = {Li, Junran. and Okin, G.S. and Herrick, Jeffrey E. and Munson, SM and Miller, M.E. and Belnap, Jayne.} } @article {66102, title = {Do changes in connectivity explain desertification?}, journal = {BioScience}, volume = {59}, year = {2009}, pages = {237-244}, abstract = {Desertification, broad-scale land degradation in drylands, is a major environmental hazard facing inhabitants of the world{\textquoteright}s deserts as well as an important component of global change.

We studied the effects of wind erosion on the spatial distribution of soil organic carbon (SOC) and other soil nutrients at the Jornada Experimental Range, in southern New Mexico. Enhanced wind erosion was encouraged by grass cover reduction in a Sporobolus-mesquite dominated site (SM) and a Bouteloua-mesquite dominated site (BM). The scale and magnitude of spatial dependence for the soil analytes were quantified using geostatistical analyses. Results of this study show that soil organic matter related analytes such as SOC, TN, Navail, and SO4 2 are among the first to be eroded and redistributed; cations such as Ca2+ and Mg2+ may not be removed and redistributed significantly; and other ions such as K+, Na+ and Cl- showed no discernible pattern of change. Geostatistics show that wind appeared to increase the scale of spatial autocorrelation, but decrease the scale of spatial dependence of most soil analytes over 2{\textendash}3 windy seasons. In the wind enhanced plot of the SM site, up to 99\% of the spatial dependence of SOC was autocorrelated at the distance of 1.45 m before the initiation of wind erosion, but the spatial dependence dropped significantly to only 60\% at a larger autocorrelation distance of 2.76 m after three windy seasons. Similar but less significant changes were observed for SOC in the BM site. Despite the differential effects of wind on the soil analytes, we conclude that the overall results of wind on the grass cover reduction plots are the disappearance of small, strong fertile islands, which may be related to grasses; and the reinforcement of large fertile islands, which are likely related to mesquite shrubs. In addition, the change of the spatial patterns of SOC and other soil nutrients induced by enhanced wind erosion may persist and reinforce soil islands associated with shrubs, thus allowing a positive feedback for further desertification in this arid grassland.}, keywords = {JRN, soil nutrients, wind erosion}, author = {Li, Junran. and Okin, G.S. and Alvarez, Lorelei. and Epstein, Howard.} } @article {66896, title = {The global distribution of atmospheric phosphorus deposition and anthropogenic impacts}, journal = {Global Biogeochemical Cycles}, volume = {22}, year = {2008}, pages = {GB4026}, keywords = {JRN, phosphorus deposition}, author = {Mahowald, N. and Herut, B. and Kubilay, N. and Losno, R. and Luo, C. and Maenhaut, W. and McGee, K.

We investigated two basic relationships on vegetation manipulation (grass cover reduction) plots at the Jornada Experimental Range in southern New Mexico: (1) wind erosion rates (horizontal mass flux and dust emission) versus vegetative cover, and (2) nutrient loss versus vegetative cover. The results indicate that wind erosion rates and nutrient loss by dust emission are strongly affected by plant cover; however, the importance of shrubs and grasses in reducing dust flux may not be equal. The dramatic increase of wind erosion between 75\% grass cover reduction and 100\% grass cover reduction suggests that sparsely distributed mesquites are relatively ineffective at reducing wind erosion and nutrient loss compared to grasses. Comparisons of nutrients between surface soils and wind blown dust indicate that aeolian transport is a major cause for the loss of soil nutrients in susceptible environments. We found that increased aeolian flux over three windy seasons (March 2004{\textendash}July 2006) removed up to 25\% of total organic carbon (TOC) and total nitrogen (TN) from the top 5 cm of soil, and about 60\% of TOC and TN loss occurred in the first windy season (March{\textendash}July 2004). The balance between net loss of nutrients by aeolian processes and the addition of nutrients by biotic processes changed from negative (net loss) to positive (net accumulation) between 50\% grass cover reduction and 25\% grass cover reduction. The estimated lifetime of surface soil TOC and TN of about 10 years on the plot with 100\% grass cover reduction indicates that impacts of wind erosion on soil resources can occur on very short timescales.}, keywords = {JRN, windblown sediment}, author = {Li, Junran. and Okin, G.S. and Alvarez, Lorelei. and Epstein, Howard.} } @article {68638, title = {Multiscale controls on and consequences of aeolian processes in landscape change in arid and semi-arid environments}, journal = {Journal of Arid Environments}, volume = {65}, year = {2006}, pages = {253-275}, abstract = {Aeolian processes are tightly linked to soil and vegetation change in deserts at multiple spatial and temporal scales.

This is a full spectrum telescope array orbiting the Sol at the Earth L2 Lagrange point. It was named for Didier Queloz and Michaels Mayor, the discoverers of the first extra-solar planets orbiting 51 Pegasi. Queloz-Mayor is comprised of six, six node telescope interferometer that are the equivalent in the optical spectrum of 10,000km mirror. Each array included a 10.5m optical telescope, a 300m radio telescope and high energy (X-ray and Gamma ray), ultra-violet (UV), infrared (IR) and far infrared (FIR) sensor arrays. It had an optical resolution of .000000001" (arcseconds) which was sufficient to resolve an image of Earth-sized planets at a distance of six light-years. The orbital observatory was a joint project of the Japanese and United States of America Space Agencies as part of the NASA Origins mission. Development began in 2012 CE and the observatory became fully operational March 13, 2021 CE. Eight years were spent in defining and organizing the first Origins Survey which began in 2029 CE and continued until 2049 CE (see – NASA Origins I Planetary Survey).
The two space agencies commissioned a review of the observatory's performance in 2045 CE. The panel concurred that the observatory had performed beyond all expectation; however, the panel recommended that the continued success required making numerous improvements to the observatory and its ground-based infrastructure to reap continued benefits from its operation. The agencies accepted the recommendations of the commission and authorized the necessary funds in 2048 CE. Additional elements were added and upgrades were made to the sensor arrays that improved by five magnitudes in 2051 CE to 2053 CE and extended its resolving power for Earth-sized planets to 24.6 light-years (see – NASA Origins II Planetary Survey).

Had a crush on a girl last year. She liked me at one point, but I asked her out to lunch on a couple occasions. She made an excuse once and the other time I texted her and she ignored me, so I moved on. I hadn't really thought about her for a couple of weeks, and yesterday I had a super random (and graphic) dream that she was tickling me in bed and I couldn't do anything about it. I woke up really confused. I probably won't talk to her ever again and she doesn't care about me, so I guess I'll just let the dream be an aberration and hopefully it won't be anything reoccurring.
Why did I dream about her?

Gerardo Valero was born in 1962 in Mexico City, where he currently resides with his wife Monica. He has a degree in Architecture and an MBA from the IPADE Business School in Mexico. His interest in movies started at a very young age as his father used to take him and his brothers to double or even triple features at their neighborhood theater. He mostly remembers seeing Tarzan movies and Disney classics, though mostly they watched a lot of forgettable war and cowboy movies. He remembers "The Poseidon Adventure" being talked about by everyone at his school, and by the time he saw "Jaws" at age thirteen, it became his favorite all-time film and somehow still remains so, even after watching it more times than he can recall.
Valero first learned of Siskel & Ebert in the mid-eighties during one of many summers he spent with friends in Columbus, Ohio. By 1988 it appeared on a cable station in Mexico and soon became a must-watch for him. Then the internet came along, and in 1999, he emailed Roger his very first suggestion for his "Little Movie Glossary," which, incredibly, he chose for one of his coming Yearbooks! Since then Valero has sent him dozens (or hundreds) of suggestions and, even though his days of batting 1.000 in that department didn't last very long, he has happily been published about 20 times in Roger's annual "Movie Yearbook." He has also contributed to Time Magazine's "10 Questions" (segments on Alex Trebek, Andy Roddick and Hillary Swank) and to "Freeze That Frame" in the long-defunct Video Review Magazine (1991).
Valero has won prizes in a number of trivia contests: an Omega watch for the James Bond contest (1995) and a VCR for the Lethal Weapon one (1996), both by Premiere Magazine (Mexico Premiere), and his first DVD player in the Godfather trivia contest by Cinemex, a Mexican movie chain (1998). His main interests are movies and DVDs, playing tennis, following the NY Yankees and, whenever possible, traveling. His favorite film is still "Jaws," but the first two Godfather movies make him question his standings every time he watches them.
Don Siegel's "Dirty Harry" (1971) may not be the greatest film of Clint Eastwood's career but its title character is certainly the one that best defines it. Looking back, it's hard to imagine it took five years for such an acclaimed picture to arrive here in Mexico. Censorship wasn't common in those days but there was something about "Harry." The only other feature that I can recall getting a similar treatment was "Two Minute Warning" with Charlton Heston. Both dealt with mad snipers on the loose so my guess is that someone decided it was better not to give anyone ideas.
Lawrence Kasdan's "Grand Canyon" didn't make a splash when it opened here in Mexico, and it's not the kind of feature that's ever shown on our TV, so hardly anybody I know has even heard about it. It's not an easy movie to describe. When people ask me about its subject, I say something like "It's about a group of people from Los Angeles living in despair who end up feeling better when they all get together and visit the Grand Canyon." Most of them seem to loose interest but the response of those who do see it is mostly overwhelming.
Watching "The Tree of Life" brought "Grand Canyon" to mind. The films couldn't be more different, but both deal with a search for a deeper meaning in our existence-- a sense of helplessness in trying to place ourselves in the grand scheme of things. They also lack defined plots or conventional structures.
Based on the current trends in Hollywood films, we tend to think of the movie industry as some sort of giant Business Corporation, with board rooms all over town constantly analyzing projection charts and planning the next sequel to another obscure comic-book hero flick (in 3-D). Then five years ago "United 93" came along and defied most of the usual reasons for a film to be produced in the first place. It surely wasn't made with the idea of losing money but you could anticipate this wasn't going to be your typical drama/action-adventure movie (or a blockbuster for that matter). It was never even going to help sell great amounts of movie candy (though I can recall attending a screening of "The Passion of the Christ" years ago, and seeing people entering the theater with the usual giant containers of popcorn and soda, so I guess some moviegoers can eat through anything). We knew beforehand that "United 93" would be tackling a difficult subject worthy of scrutinizing, after watching it we come to understand this was one of those few "necessary" films.
There's nothing quite like the movies if you want to learn what people's hopes and dreams were during the period in which they were made. Take for instance the recent "Up in the Air". In the present when air travel has turned into something to be endured, George Clooney's Ryan Bingham showed us how it can become an enticing way of life. The same subject was also portrayed extensively, under a very different light, some forty years as the "Airport" movies dealt with our fears of dying in new and horrible ways, while glamorizing our dreams of flying first-class, surrounded by a movie star in every seat. As the trailer for one of these features once put it: "on board, a collection of the rich and the beautiful!" They also marked the advent of a new genre (the Disaster Film) as well as the "Ark movie" which Ebert's Little Movie Glossary defines as "mixed bag of characters trapped in a colorful mode of transportation". How many films can claim to this kind of impact?
"No good movie is long enough and no bad movie is short enough". As much truth as this phrase carries it is also a fact that editing choices greatly influence a film's outcome. One of the best examples to illustrate this point is Guisseppe Tornatore's "Cinema Paradiso" which was released in 1990 as a 124 minute gem that won Best Foreign Film at the Academy Awards and the unconditional love of everyone I've ever discussed it with. Further, it made no sense to learn that a much longer version of the film had been released in Italy a couple of years before to mediocre reviews and box-office results. How could material this good ever be ignored? The answer came years later in a single viewing of one of those DVD editions that includes the complete 173 minute version. As strange as this sounds, I believe that the butchering of Director Tornatore's original 1988 vision saved his film from utter mediocrity, and took it to an all together higher level.
It's hard to come up with many directors willing to take the leaps of faith that Quentin Tarantino does in every scene of his every movie. It's even harder to come up with any who have the talent to back-up even trying. The biggest reason Tarantino has such a huge following may be how he goes all-out with seemingly little or no concern for crashing -- which, amazingly, he never seems to do.
Even outside the U.S. it's common for movie-goers to avoid non-Hollywood films--not that subtitles are such a big deal to us, as we have no choice but to get accustomed to them since childhood. These feature's real problems are that they don't often receive much fanfare and their stars aren't always well known. We tend to stay away until we get one a "must see" recommendations and that was my case with the German film "The Lives of Others" (2006). It's a shame to think audiences will miss a story so gripping; this is one of the best films of its decade.
I've had to defend myself for loving "The War of the Roses" so much. The majority of people I've discussed it with found it too mean-spirited. I realize it deals with an ugly subject but this is a prime example of a movie being great at how it is about its core subject, no matter how touchy. This is one of my all-time favorite films.
"The Insider" is one of Michael Mann's best films and it represents a departure from the usual themes. One constant in his other movies is the imposing, menacing but sympathetic villain figure. They may all be capable of great violence but the tragic side of their stories helps the audience identify. In contrast, "The Insider" gives us something completely different: a faceless and unsympathetic enemy that bends the will of those who get in its way without the need of doing anything particularly spectacular or even executing it on-screen: a villain aware that the fear of losing something like health insurance may be enough to shut its victims up. Its power comes from the income provided by the countless smokers unable to quit its product and its most important goal is to make sure that they never do.
Clint Eastwood is one of the few filmmakers whose work I always attend on his reputation alone. This is not to say they've been classics (think of his orangutan movies) but when entering a theater I can be reasonably confident, worst case scenario, of seeing something above average.
Eastwood has had several defined periods, such as his Spaghetti Westerns of the 1960s and the cop pictures of the 70s and 80s (which arrived a bit late here in Mexico because "Dirty Harry" was censored). In a career that spans five decades and included dozens of features, a single splits it into Pre and Post, and that film is "Unforgiven." It's hard to think of a single feature that puts into perspective a filmmaker's career like this one does for Eastwood, and it opens the door to his current stage which has included some of his best work.

Over 50% of the total spam messages across the world during the third quarter of the year 2011 was originated from about six countries of which India accounts for the highest with 14.8% on the whole. The spam report of Kaspersky Lab states that India is ahead of the countries like Indonesia, Brazil, Peru, South Korea and Ukraine with 10.6%, 9.65%, 6.65%, 5.85% and 3.7% respectively.
The countries that contributed to the spam are mainly located in the regions like Eastern Europe, Asia and South America. This is mainly because of the numerous users in those countries and they are not too exposed to the IT security. These reasons make them soft targets for the cyber criminals who spread spam bots.
The report also claims that all the the GCC countries have accounted to 1.33% of the total global spam in which Saudi Arabia is leading. This was due to the low user count and the high vigilance in protecting the systems in these countries. The GCC countries are United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain.

This is a case of pure misunderstanding as a special story covered by one particular media influenced all others in the wrong direction. Finally it is found that there is not even an iota of truth in it and it has upset star comedian MS Narayana.
A noted Telugu daily has published a special interview of MS Narayana, where the comedian quoted that his wish is to create a Guinness record. 'I've acted in 700 films in the last 17 years. I want to create Guinness record by acting in more number of films than any actor ever', said MS. But this is purely misquoted by another big-media and they went on saying that he has won a Guinness record without verifying.
According to Guinness book website, the record 'Most Screen Credits For A Living Actor' is on the name of another star comedian Brahmanandam. For getting screen credits in around 857 films from 1987 to 2010, Brahmi got this honor. Probably MS Narayana will need more time and chances to break this. Sharing his thoughts MS felt sad for media misquoting him and creating unnecessary false hype.

Molecule Info
|Indication(s) & Dosage
Hydrochlorothiazide tablets are indicated as adjunctive therapy in edema associated with congestive heart failure, hepatic cirrhosis, and corticosteroid and estrogen therapy. Hydrochlorothiazide tablets have also been found useful in edema due to various forms of renal dysfunction such as nephrotic syndrome, acute glomerulonephritis, and chronic renal failure. Hydrochlorothiazide tablets are indicated in the management of hypertension either as the sole therapeutic agent or to enhance the effectiveness of other antihypertensive drugs in the more severe forms of hypertension.
Oedema associated with heart failure
Adult: Usual dosage: 25-100 mg orally daily in the morning, may reduce to 25-50 mg daily or intermittently. Up to 200 mg daily may be used as initial doses in severe cases.
Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus
Adult: Initial dose: Up to 100 mg orally daily.
Child: Initially, 1-2 mg/kg/day in 1-2 divided doses; <6 mth: up to 3 mg/kg/day.
|Should be taken on an empty stomach. Take 15-30 min before meals.
|Lethargy, nausea, weakness and electrolyte imbalance, possibly progress to coma within a few hr with minimal depression of respiratory and CV function and with no evidence of dehydration or serum electrolyte changes. GI irritation and hypermotility, temporary elevation of the BUN, serum electrolyte changes (e.g., hypokalemia, hypochloremia, hyponatremia) may occur in renally impaired patients. Empty stomach by inducing vomiting with ipecac syrup If patient is conscious. Cathartics should not be admin as they may promote loss of fluid and electrolytes. Supportive and symptomatic treatment with monitoring of serum electrolytes, renal, respiratory, and CV function. Replace fluid and electrolytes where necessary.
|Severe hepatic and renal impairment, Addison's disease, preexisting hypercalcaemia, anuria, sulphonamide allergy. Pregnancy, lactation.
|Special Precautions
|Existing electrolyte disturbances, hepatic cirrhosis, severe heart failure, oedema, elderly, renal impairment. Monitor for signs of fluid and electrolyte disturbance. Hepatic impairment, DM, gout, hyperlipidaemia, hypercalcaemia, hyperuricaemia; ECG: LVH and/or ventricular ectopics (extrasystoles). May exacerbate or activate SLE in susceptible patients.
|Adverse Drug Reaction(s)
|Volume depletion and
electrolyte imbalance, dry mouth, thirst, lethargy, drowsiness, muscle pain and cramps, hypotension, hypersensitivity reactions e.g. rashes,
photosensitivity, thrombocytopenia, jaundice, pancreatitis; fatigue, weakness; may precipitate an attack of gout; impotence, hyperglycaemia; anorexia,
gastric irritation, nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhoea, sialadenitis, dizziness, raised Ca concentration.
Potentially Fatal: Hypersensitivity reactions.
|Drug Interactions
|May cause hyponatraemia when used with carbamazepine. May increase risk of toxicity when used with allopurinol or tetracyclines.
Potentiates hypotensive effect of α-blockers and ACE inhibitors. Diuretic-induced hypokalaemia may increase the toxicity of digitalis glycosides and risk of
arrhythmias when used with drugs that prolong QT interval. May increase serum concentrations of lithium when used together. Concurrent use with alcohol,
barbiturates and opioids may enhance diuretic-enhanced orthostatic hypotension. Antihypertensive effect may be reduced by corticosteroids, NSAIDs or
carbenoxolone. May enhance the nephrotoxicity of NSAIDs.
Potentially Fatal: Enhances neuromuscular blocking action of competitive muscle relaxants. Impaired control of diabetes by oral hypoglycaemic agents.
|Usage in Pregnancy
Usage in Pregnancy:
Routine use of diuretics during normal pregnancy is inappropriate and exposes mother and fetus to unnecessary hazard. Diuretics do not prevent development of toxemia of pregnancy and there is no satisfactory evidence that they are useful in the treatment of toxemia.
Edema during pregnancy may arise from pathologic causes or from the physiologic and mechanical consequences of pregnancy. Thiazides are indicated in pregnancy when edema is due to pathologic causes, just as they are in the absence of pregnancy. Dependent edema in pregnancy, resulting from restriction of venous return by the gravid uterus, is properly treated through elevation of the lower extremities and use of support stockings. Use of diuretics to lower intravascular volume in this instance is illogical and unnecessary. During normal pregnancy there is hypervolemia which is not harmful to the fetus or the mother in the absence of cardiovascular disease. However, it may be associated with edema, rarely generalized edema. If such edema causes discomfort, increased recumbency will often provide relief. Rarely this edema may cause extreme discomfort which is not relieved by rest. In these instances, a short course of diuretic therapy may provide relief and be appropriate.
Category D: If used in pregnancy-induced HTN.There is positive evidence of human foetal risk, but the benefits from use in pregnant women may be acceptable despite the risk (e.g., if the drug is needed in a life-threatening situation or for a serious disease for which safer drugs cannot be used or are ineffective).
|Oral: Store at 15-30°C.
Hydrochlorothiazide blocks the reabsorption of sodium and chloride ions, and thereby increases the quantity of sodium traversing the distal tubule and the volume of water excreted. A portion of the additional sodium presented to the distal tubule is exchanged there for potassium and hydrogen ions. With continued use of hydrochlorothiazide and depletion of sodium, compensatory mechanisms tend to increase this exchange and may produce excessive loss of potassium, hydrogen, and chloride ions. Hydrochlorothiazide also decreases the excretion of calcium and uric acid, may increase the excretion of iodide, and may reduce glomerular filtration rate. The exact mechanism of the antihypertensive effect of hydrochlorothiazide is not known.
Hydrochlorothiazide inhibits the reabsorption of Na and chloride at the beginning of the distal convoluted tubule. It causes natriuretic effect mainly by decreasing Na and chloride reabsorption in the cortical segment of the ascending limb of the loop of Henle by inhibition of a specific Na+Cl- co-transporter.
Onset: 2 hr (oral).

Gen. MedInfo
Why is this medication prescribed?
Hydrochlorothiazide, a 'water pill,' is used to treat high blood pressure and fluid retention caused by various conditions, including heart disease. It causes the kidneys to get rid of unneeded water and salt from the body into the urine. This medicine is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor for more information.
How should this medicine be used?
Hydrochlorothiazide comes as a tablet and liquid to take by mouth. It usually is taken once or twice a day. If you are to take it once a day, take it in the morning; if you are to take it twice a day, take it in the morning and in the late afternoon to avoid going to the bathroom during the night. Take this medication with a meal or snack. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take hydrochlorothiazide exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Hydrochlorothiazide controls high blood pressure but does not cure it. Continue to take hydrochlorothiazide even if you feel well. Do not stop taking hydrochlorothiazide without talking to your doctor.
Other uses for this medicine
Hydrochlorothiazide may also be used to treat patients with diabetes insipidus and certain electrolyte disturbances and to prevent kidney stones in patients with high levels of calcium in their blood. Talk to your doctor about the possible risks of using this medicine for your condition.
What special precautions should I follow?
- tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to hydrochlorothiazide, sulfa drugs, or any other drugs.
- tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and nonprescription medications you are taking, especially other medicines for high blood pressure, anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen or naproxen, corticosteroids, lithium, medications for diabetes, probenecid, and vitamins. If you also are taking cholestyramine or colestipol, take it at least 1 hour after hydrochlorothiazide.
- tell your doctor if you have or have ever had diabetes, gout, or kidney, liver, thyroid, or parathyroid disease.
- tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding. If you become pregnant while taking hydrochlorothiazide, call your doctor immediately.
- if you are having surgery, including dental surgery, tell the doctor or dentist that you are taking hydrochlorothiazide.
- you should know that this drug may make you drowsy. Do not drive a car or operate machinery until you know how this drug affects you.
- remember that alcohol can add to the drowsiness caused by this drug.
- plan to avoid unnecessary or prolonged exposure to sunlight and to wear protective clothing, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Hydrochlorothiazide may make your skin sensitive to sunlight.
What special dietary instructions should I follow?Follow your doctor's directions. They may include following a daily exercise program or a low-salt or low-sodium diet, potassium supplements, and increased amounts of potassium-rich foods (e.g., bananas, prunes, raisins, and orange juice) in your diet.
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
What side effects can this medication cause?Frequent urination should go away after you take hydrochlorothiazide for a few weeks. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
muscle weakness
stomach pain
loss of appetite
hair loss
If you experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately:
sore throat with fever
unusual bleeding or bruising
severe skin rash with peeling skin
difficulty breathing or swallowing
Before Calling Emergency
Determine the following information:
- Patient's age, weight and condition
- Name of the product/medicine (ingredients and strengths, if possible)
- Time it was swallowed/taken
- Amount swallowed/taken
What to Expect at the Emergency Room
The Health Care Provider/ Emergency Doctor will measure and monitor the patient's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate and blood pressure. Symptoms will be treated as appropriate. The patient may receive:
- Antidote, gastric lavage, activated charcoal or other drugs/procedures as required
- Blood tests to determine body chemical levels and blood acid/base balance
- EKG/ECG test
- Medicines to correct fluid and electrolyte imbalances
Do not let anyone else take your medicine.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted into a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.

creatine is a naturally occurring guanidino compound that is synthesized in the liver and kidney or obtained in small quantities from the diet primarily from meat and fish. Oral creatine monohydrate supplementation (e.g., 20 g/day × 5 days) has been reported to increase muscle creatine and phosphocreatine (PC) content by 15-40%, enhance the cellular bioenergetics of the phosphagen system, improve the shuttling of high-energy phosphates between the mitochondria and cytosol via the creatine phosphate shuttle, and enhance the activity of various metabolic pathways influenced by creatine kinases. For this reason, there has been significant interest in determining whether creatine supplementation can enhance exercise and/or training adaptations as well as provide therapeutic benefit for various patient populations. Most studies indicate that short-term creatine supplementation can improve high-intensity exercise performance and improve gains in strength, power, and muscle mass during training. Consequently, creatine has become a popular nutritional supplement among athletes. More recently, the potential therapeutic benefits of creatine supplementation have been evaluated in patients with a variety of metabolic disorders, neuromuscular diseases, and recovery after musculoskeletal injury. These findings have indicated that creatine may serve as a promising ergogenic aid for athletes as well as offer some clinical benefit for certain patient populations.
The only clinically significant side effect that has been consistently reported in the literature has been weight gain. However, concerns have been raised regarding whether creatine supplementation may promote long-term suppression of creatine synthesis, increase renal stress, promote muscle and liver damage, alter fluid and electrolyte status, and/or cause unknown long-term side effects. Although recent studies examining the safety of creatine in humans have not substantiated these concerns (2, 4-7), several reports have indicated that long-term creatine supplementation in mice may alter liver pathology (3) and/or promote renal disease progression in hypertensive rats (Han:SPRD) (1). Understanding the mechanisms of action of creatine in healthy and diseased models as well as the possible long-term side effects from creatine supplementation is important to determining whether creatine may serve as an effective therapeutic nutrient for various clinical populations.
The study in this issue of the American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology by Tarnopolsky and colleagues (8) represents an important contribution to our understanding of how creatine monohydrate supplementation may differentially affect health outcomes in various species. In this regard, the researchers carefully evaluated the pathological and toxicological effects of long-term creatine monohydrate supplementation (⅓ to ½ their life span) in nontransgenic mice (CD-1), SOD1 G93A transgenic mice that have a mutation in the Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase gene that results in an increased level of oxidative stress and serve as a good model to study amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Sprague-Dawley rats. Results indicated that long-term creatine monohydrate supplementation (equivalent to 8-12 times the doses used in long-term human trials for ⅓ to ½ the animals' life span) in mice increased the incidence of hepatitis lesions with no apparent effects on the remaining 18-20 tissues evaluated. However, long-term creatine monohydrate supplementation in rats at supraphysiological doses did not induce hepatic inflammatory changes or affect the pathology of other tissues examined. These findings are important because they indicate that different species may respond uniquely to creatine supplementation. Therefore, care must be taken to consider species-specific responses when 1) designing studies to assess the potential therapeutic role of creatine monohydrate supplementation on various human medical disorders; 2) assessing the pharmacological effects of various medications that may involve creatine metabolism; and 3) attempting to extrapolate results from long-term creatine feeding studies in animals to humans. Additionally, because neither the mice nor rats experienced renal or other tissue pathological changes after long-term creatine supplementation, these findings provide additional evidence that creatine supplementation does not appear to adversely affect renal function or health outcomes supporting recent clinical trials in humans.

The Mythbusters Build Team Is Reuniting for a New Netflix Series
The show is called White Rabbit Project.
Mythbusters was officially busted last year after a 14-season run, but Netflix is giving fans hope after ordering a new series featuring the Discovery show's build team.
Deadline reports that White Rabbit Project, an unscripted original series from Beyond Productions, stars Mythbusters' Kari Byron, Tory Belleci, and Grant Imahara. Beyond Productions' John Luscombe, Ryan Senter, and Martyn Ives will serve as executive producers, so we can only hope they'll invite Adam and Jamie for golden cameos.
White Rabbit Project won't be busting any myths, but Byron, Belleci, and Imahara will investigate "weird and wonderful events from pop culture, science, and history" including "jailbreaks, superpower technology, heists, and crazy [WWII] weapons," according to Deadline. The show will be available on Netflix globally on December 9th.

So it wasn't a very good day for DCC products. This morning Perry's Maiden Voyage of the Colossus! received a one star review. You can read the review on the linked page.
The problem for me is that the reviewer is unnamed. I would like to be able to contact the reviewer and offer them either a) their money back for the product or b) other product in our AL, CE, or FT lines in exchange. As they are unnamed, I cannot locate them.
I posted to the G+ DCC group in hopes of finding the customer but so far no one has turned up.
Secondly we have heard from OBS that standard colour books on 50 lbs. paper are being phased out. That means sometime in the future the following books will no longer be available via print on demand.
I probably will not get update these files until July. I suspect they won't disappear before then though.

Kitty Catch Mat
The Kitty Catch Mat will collect litter from your cat's paws as it steps out of the litter box. This mat contains thousands of soft dimples that trap and hold onto each piece of litter without irritating a cat's paws at all. Your cat will find walking on the mat comfortable, as it is made of ultra-soft material. You can use the Kitty Catch Mat with any size of litter box, and at 24 by 35 inches, it'll cover enough surface area to catch virtually all litter pieces stuck to your feline's paws. Its non-slip bottom won't slide around easily, and it can be used on various types of flooring.
The Claim
As cute as they may be, one annoying thing that cats often do is leave a trail of litter throughout the house after they emerge from the litter box. They may get litter on the floors, the furniture, your counters, and even on you. Fortunately, the Kitty Catch Mat will stop them from doing this, so you'll be able to relax without worrying about sitting, stepping, or lying down on a litter kernel. The lack of litter on your furniture and floors when you make use of this mat will also make the furniture and floors smell better, along with appearing cleaner.
Total Cost Breakdown
3 Visitors rate it 2.0 Stars
How It Works
As your cat steps out of the litter box, the dimples within the Kitty Catch mat will gently wipe their feet clean, storing stray litter pieces so you can clean them up later. Regardless of whether your cats paws are dirty and / or smelly from being in the litter, the mat wont retain odors or take on a permanent stain.
Positive Points
- Comes In Gray Or Tan
- Easy To Clean
- For A Variety Of Flooring
- Flexible
- Will Accommodate Two Boxes
- Durable
- Makes House Appear Cleaner
The Kitty Catch Mat comes in gray or tan, so you can choose the shade you like best or the one that best matches the litter you use. If you go with the second option, youll barely be able to see the pieces of litter that are trapped within the mat at a quick glance.
The Kitty Catch Mat is very easy to clean, and you should clean it once it has trapped a fair amount of litter. You can use a broom to sweep its contents into a dustpan or shake the litter back into your litter box. If you dont care about reusing the trapped litter, you can wipe the mat with a sponge or even vacuum the pieces of litter up with your vacuum cleaner.
Your Kitty Catch Mat will work on virtually all common types of household flooring, including hardwood, tile, laminate, and carpet, and it wont slip on any floor.
Although the Kitty Catch Mat is quite large when its laid out, it can be folded if you need to fit it into a space smaller than 24 by 35 inches.
When rolled out to its full size, one Kitty Catch Mat is big enough to accommodate two litter boxes that are on the small side. This will come in handy if you have two cats that each have their own box and are fine with using them side by side. Just keep it mind that it may not trap as much litter if you use two boxes on it, due to the smaller amount of surface area remaining uncovered.
Each Kitty Catch Mat is made of durable foam, so youll be able to use it for a long time without its quality deteriorating.
With a Kitty Catch Mat, you wont need to worry about guests coming over and potentially being disgusted by litter pieces on the couch cushions or stuck in the blankets of your spare bed. Youll also feel better making your way throughout your home yourself when you can see that your floors look neat and tidy.
Negative Points
- Not Ideal For Cats That Kick
- May Confuse Cat
Some cats will kick litter out of their boxes when theyre getting ready to do their business. These cats may kick pieces of litter so far, theyll totally miss the Kitty Catch Mat and end up on the surrounding floor area anyway.
Some cats dont like change, and if yours is one of those, they may become confused when they notice something new surrounding their litter box. This may make them skeptical of going to the litter, so you may have to spend time teaching them that the mat is safe for them to step on.
Save Money
If you wish, youll be able to return trapped litter from your Kitty Catch Mat to your box or the original package. That means you likely wont need to make as many trips to the store to get a new package of litter.

Pollution is killing the world./Jordan greenhagen/Hour 5
My word is pollution
The industrial revolution is nothing but pollution and harm to the environment. the world was a nice clean aired place but when the industrial revolution started it was nothing but co₂ from burning coal it was and is killing the environment. the electricity you use is from a power plant and some of them burn coal still. Is killing the environment, it was caused by the industrial revolution just because we wanted it to be faster. "THE POLLUTION of the first industrial revolution led to serious environmental degradation in many parts of the United States in the two decades preceding the Civil War. Many industries discharged foul, sometimes toxic, solid, liquid, and gaseous wastes and loud, repetitive, mechanical noises and vibrations into the surrounding air, water, and land." The industrial started a long phase of killing the world we will never ever get away from. "This is to say, the rise of industry not only introduced the decline of agricultural labor but also affected the life and health of Americans. During the Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries, pollution had become a major problem with the introduction and the concentrated usage of artificially produced power. In particular, factories in Indiana, where the family of the farmer was located, produced a certain amount of polluted air, mainly smoke, as most of them were burning coal. The Industrial Revolution did make the country into an economic power, increasing the national wealth, but it also transferred the country into an unhealthy union, bringing citizens illness." Two different sites both the same opinion and there's hundreds more just like em'. We have to get away from this pollution phase go back to a green phase cause if this world goes to sickness we go with it.

Political theorists have their own definitions of 'empire', but one properly knows that a country or civilization is 'imperial' only when the interest of the rest of the world in its doings exceeds its own interest in the rest of the world. So it was with the Romans when their empire was riding high; so it later was with the British; and so it now is with the Americans. Our curiosity about their economy, their military, their customs and their culture comfortably exceeds their interest in how we shop, whom we shoot, what we wear or where we eat.
Only one area of American life has been largely free from this intense and often obsessive scrutiny; their sports. Indians and Iraqis, Australians and Azerbaijanis, know little and care less about the kinds of games that the imperialists play or watch when they are not eating, earning, drinking or shooting. Those who want to make good their deficiencies in this regard can now read Michael Mandelbaum's new book, The Meaning of Sports: Why Americans Watch Baseball, Football, and Basketball and What They See When They do. Although published in America, and intended for an American audience, it can be read with profit by those of us touched in any way by American culture and history ' which, in the Year of Our Lord 2004, includes all of us, without exception.
The sports favoured by Americans share some distinctive characteristics. First, there is a very great emphasis on college sport. The Oxford/Cambridge match is now a joke ' far better cricket is played on the Calcutta Maidan ' but sporting contests between the top American university teams are of a very high standard indeed. Besides, they attract a quite extraordinary level of spectator interest. When asked what the duties of a University president were, the sociologist Clark Kerr ' at the time president of the University of California at Berkeley ' answered: 'To provide enough sex for the undergraduates, adequate parking for the faculty, and a good enough football team for the alumni.' When the local college team is good enough, up to 80,000 fans come to cheer it ' as many as would come to the Eden Gardens to watch India play Pakistan at cricket.
The best college players are then drafted into the professional sides. These teams are each based in a city; the New York Mets, the Green Bay Packers, the Boston Celtics, and so on. The allegiances of sports fans are thus to college and city, rather than to region or nation. However, the absence of nationalism in American sport is itself a form of nationalism. For the three major sports in the United States of America are not even minor sports anywhere else. These sports are baseball, (American) football, and basketball. In choosing to play sports unique to it, America underlines its claim to be different from the rest of humankind.
Michael Mandelbaum's book probes intelligently into the history of American sport. His thesis is persuasive: that the three games loved by Americans each correspond to a distinctive phase in their history. Thus baseball was, and is, a 'remembrance of things past'; a reminder of the leisurely rhythms of a rural society, when life and work were not strictly bound by the clock. The green grass on which the game is played itself evokes the colour and texture of the farm. Next comes football, which is a product of, and itself embodies, the machine age. As in a factory, the deadlines of time are strict; and as in a factory, the different parts (or players) all have strictly defined roles which they cannot easily violate or transgress. Notably, the popularity of football reached its height in the middle decades of the last century, when America found itself engaged in a series of bloody wars. As Mandelbaum notes: 'If a football team is like an industrial enterprise, a football game is like a war'War involves the organized, deliberate use of force to attain a goal, often the control of territory. So does football.'
Finally we have basketball, the sport that best corresponds to the newest, 'post-industrial' stage of American history. While a typical factory worker did one task over and over again, a worker in the knowledge-economy must have a greater adaptability. Factory workers stayed put in one part of the factory: correspondingly, football players rarely venture out of their part of the field. But the basketball player must be equally conversant with defence and attack, adept in passing and blocking as much as in shooting. Thus in sport, as much as in the economy, the focus has decisively shifted from technology to innovation. But Mandelbaum also highlights another feature of basketball that makes it 'post-modern'; the fact that it is far more gender-sensitive than the other sports. Few women play baseball, and fewer still try their hand at football. Yet many women play basketball, and many more watch it.
Modern sport, argues Mandelbaum, is in many respects a modern religion. It provides a sense of coherence and meaning that the ancient faiths once provided. Among its attractions are that it feeds into a nostalgia for childhood ' when we did not have to labour, but could simply play ' and that it provides a pantheon of heroes whose achievements are transparent and based wholly on ability ' unlike, say, politicians or industrialists, who have got to where they are as much by crook as by hook.
Mandelbaum knows his sports; their techniques, their organization, their great players and great teams. This is a rich and immensely subtle work of historical sociology. Still, I wish it had been somewhat less parochial in its ambitions. While successful in explaining why Americans like their sports, he largely ignores the complementary, and equally interesting question ' why is it that the Americans do not much care for our sports (or we for theirs)' He does provide one clue; namely, that the competitive spirit of Americans orients them towards those games in which winner takes all. Soccer matches often end in draws; so, if somewhat less frequently, do cricket tests. But baseball and American football matches are played on until one side wins, and the other loses.
I myself believe that the sporting preferences of the Americans are a sign of their cultural backwardness. In terms both of technique and aesthetics, cricket is immeasurably superior to baseball, as soccer is to football. That is why those American sports do not have a ghost of a chance in the rest of the world (with the exception of American cultural dependencies like Japan and Central America, where baseball is popular). Somewhat better placed is basketball, which has been making steady strides outside North America ' this as a game is easy to pick up and play in schools and city neighbourhoods, a game quicker and faster than baseball, and not as coarse and brutal as football. Mandelbaum does not deal with the growing internationalization of the National Basketball Association ' in terms of viewership, and in terms of the players themselves. Basketball's appeal outside America will increase with more such visible NBA stalwarts as the Chinese Yao Ming, the Sudanese Luol Deng, the German Dirk Nowitzki, the Serb Predrag Stojakovic, and the Argentinian Emmanuel Ginobili.
Still, there is little chance that basketball's popularity will ever come close to that of soccer, which is, and will remain, the unquestioned world sport. More generally, America's lack of success in exporting its sports is in notable contrast with the record of the previous world empire, Britain, whose games very soon became our games, too. India and Britain both play cricket, which might be one reason why the relations between the two countries are far less acrimonious than will be the case with America and Iraq, where the colonized adore a game (soccer) which their rulers do not much care for.
Although published earlier this year, Mandelbaum's book was conceived well before the events of 9/11. Hence, perhaps, the suggestion in its closing pages that basketball's pre-eminence is there to stay, since Americans do not indulge in that many wars anymore. Since then the world has witnessed the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. Will this presage a resurgence of interest in that most warlike of sports, American football' It is a worrying thought, and not just for Americans alone.

Salvador Dali
He WAS Surrealism
Dali was born at 8:45 on May 11, 1904 in Figueres, Spain. He spent much of the time of his childhood in Cadaques, where his parents built his first art studio. He attended the San Fernando Academy of Fine Arts in Madrid. Around this time, Dali grew his iconic moustache. In 1925, he started to gain some notoriety in the art world when he had his first one man show. In 1928, some of his work was shown in the third annual Carnegie International Exhibition in Pittsburgh, where he gained international recognition. The following year, he met his future wife and muse, Gala. Dali would go on to become the most famous artist of the Surrealist movement.
*Dali owned a pet Ocelot named Babou
*Dali collaborated with Walt Disney to creat the animated film, "Destino"
*Dali considered himself both an Anarchist and a Monarchist
*Dali claimed to be both Roman Catholic and Agnostic

"Acute Medical Clinic"
About: Leicester Royal Infirmary Leicester Royal Infirmary Leicester LE1 5WW
Posted by Disgruntled
A very mixed experience , initially very quick and efficient book in. Observations and bloods swiftly done but then a massive 6 hour wait. Absolutely no communication from any of the nursing team to inform the state of situation, no apology, just stone faced nursing staff who could only shrug their shoulders and state that it was a "clinic" but gave no other explanation. Sadly chose, to leave , frustrated and disgusted with the experience. No treatment or advice given.
Response from Leicester Royal Infirmary 2 years ago
