Female Travel
Being a broad abroad can be a daunting prospect, especially if you're travelling on your own. But more and more women are taking to the road each year, and it's never been safer.
Popular backpacker destinations such as Australia, New Zealand, South East Asia and the UK are well set up for female travellers. Most hostels have both mixed dormitories and separate female dorms (if that's what you're after).
Places that have different cultural attitudes towards women, such as the Middle East, can be challenging but if you read up on the local customs and stay aware of your surroundings you'll be fine.
Whatever your question, from where's the safest places to travel too to whether or not you should pack your hair straighteners, you'll only get the best advice here.

Thieves are stealing material from abandoned Flint houses
Thieves in Flint are stealing copper pipes, aluminum sidings, indoor fixtures, and appliances from vacant houses. They are taking the material to scrap dealers for quick cash.
Doug Weiland is with the Genesee County Land Bank. He says Flint lost over 70,000 jobs due to the downsizing of the auto industry.
"So the city of Flint's population is literally about half of what it was at its peak, and we have roughly half of the property that had been used in the past sitting vacant."
Weiland says with vacant homes and a high unemployment rate, criminals see an opportunity to break into abandoned houses and steal material. There are roughly 8,000 abandoned homes in the city of Flint.

The Best of Bean
A collection of otherworldly paintings goes on display at the National Air and Space Museum.
- By The Editors
- AirSpaceMag.com, July 15, 2009
Courtesy Alan Bean
Of this 1993 painting titled Mountains of the Moon with the Lunar Module Falcon, Russo notes, "Falcon rests in solitude on the uneven Plains of Hadley with the Apennine Mountains on the horizon. The area is near the eastern edge of Mare Imbrium, the dark 'sea' that forms the left eye of the Man in the Moon.
"The lunar rovers driven by Jim Irwin and Dave Scott covered more ground than all three previous Apollo missions. Scott remarked, 'These mountains were never quickened by life, never assailed by wind or rain, they loom still and serene, a tableau of forever. Their majesty overwhelms me.'"

If Mr. Allen Bean hasn't already done so, he should paint Neil Armstrong standing on the lunar surface, maybe next to the LM, because no photograph exist of Armstrong on the moon, except for the photo of his reflection in Buzz Aldrin's visor. EDITORS REPLY: There are three photographs of Armstrong on the moon, but they are not high-quality. http://moonpans.com/Neil_Armstrong_on_the_moon.htm

Had a good open carry experience hear the other day.
I was back near sporting goods looking for some T-ball gear and a couple of gentlemen and 2 young boys were browsing around as well. One of the boys pulls his dad down to tell him that I have a gun. He replies that I am probably exercising my 2nd amendment right, or in law enforcement. I let them know I was the former.
When I was placing my stuff onto the check stand the checker stared for a good 10 seconds at my side. He then asked something about a permit. I set him straight about Utah being Open carry and you don't need a permit to carry openly, and what benefits you get if you get a concealed permit, ect ect. He thanked me for the info and then he talked about how his dad just picked up a FN 40 cal handgun.
I Love Utah and how it has protected my rights!

In a typical four-hour session he will do 50 somersaults, and does not just confine himself just to the high or horizontal bar discipline.
All-round ability
Zonderland has won European silver on the parallel bars, and it was thanks to his ability over six events that he was even able to appear at the 2012 Olympics.
Finishing outside of the top three in the high bar at the 2011 world championships in Tokyo after a disappointing display, he was forced to qualify via the all-round competition at the London test events.
"I wasn't ready for that anymore but it was the only possibility," he said.
"I qualified (beating fellow Dutchman Jeffrey Wammes) so I was very happy with that, and after that I could train on the parallel bars and high bars again."
It was during this period that Zonderland decided to go with his high-risk strategy, gaining the support of his coach Daniel Knibbeler, who was "quite positive also from the beginning.
His confidence increased as Zonderland appeared to perfect the routine in almost every training session.
But performing it under the pressure of competition is another matter, and Zonderland's spectacular flop at the European championships in Montpellier set nerves on edge.
"I knew from the training where I made it almost all the time that it was possible but the big challenge is in your head," Zonderland said.
"On the day of the competition I had a lot of nerves and it was quite hard to get it under control."
Unique feat?
But he need not have worried, stunning the crowd and his rivals with his performance. But now he is at the summit of his sport, Zonderland knows he cannot relax.
"You realize there are a lot of talented gymnasts who can do the same as you do, so I think about my competitors who are really working hard," he said.
"I heard about one gymnast in the Netherlands who is also able to do it (the triple move) but for the rest I don't think anybody can do it."
He will step up his training for the world championships in Antwerp in the first weekend of October, sacrificing the sort of lifestyle friends of his own age enjoy.
"You don't have so much time to go out or do things with your friends, so sometimes that's hard but with sport at this level you have no choice."
Fortunately, his girlfriend Linda, who competed at a high level in speed skating as a junior, understands the nature of top-class sports competition.
Zonderland appears remarkably unaffected by his celebrity status in his home country as the first man to win a gymnastics Olympic gold.
Lasting fame
Even his nickname has echoes of the most famous figure in Dutch sporting history, athlete Fanny Blankers Koen, who won four gold medals in track and field at the 1948 Summer Olympics in London.
Blankers Koen was called "the Flying Dutchwoman" and was named IAAF female athlete of the 20th century by the world governing body.
Zonderland has etched his own piece of Olympics history with his stunning performance in London and set new standards in his discipline -- its impact similar to that of the perfect 10 achieved by Nadia Comaneci at the 1976 Montreal Olympics.
In his own country, gymnastics has received a massive boost as youngsters look to emulate him.
"It's called the 'Epke effect,' " his agent of five years Johan Boesjes told CNN.

Dr. Jeremy Stone: Do you believe in time travel?
Dr. Angela Noyce: Sure! As much as I believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. That is just to say that I love the idea but I'm dubious about the reality. But I love the idea, I'm all for it! For some like me who is always running late late it will be a God send.
---- Andromeda Strain (2008)
One of the first science fiction books to impress me at a young and tender age was The Time Machine by H G Wells. It opened up a whole world of possibilities that A Knight in King Arthur's Court did not. Rather than the rosy, optimistic visions of the future that everyone was promising, it offered up a bleak and terrifying world where evolution went wild.
It's no surprise then that I've read thousands of novels and short stories, seen hundreds of films and TV shows, and listened to a few dozen radio dramas, all based on the premise that you can go home again … and again … and again.
All this preparation has allowed me to formulate 'The Unwritten Rules of Time Travel Physics'!
I'm calling the first and most important one the "Forest Gump Singularity" ™.
In the movie FOREST GUMP, Tom Hank's titular character had a knack for improbably interacting with every important person in his era, or being present at every important historical event, even if the reason for him being there was tenuous at best. Forest met every president from John Kennedy to Gerald Ford, a famous football coach (Bear Bryant), a couple of influential singers (Elvis Presley, John Lennon), a comedian (Bob Hope) and Dick Clark. He was even present at both the Watergate break-in and the Robert Kennedy assassination.
Sawyer: Time travel's a bitch.
-- Lost (TV series)
Gump's proclivity for being in the right place at the right time allowed me to consider the implications, and I discovered a previously unknown property of each moment and place in the time stream -- temporal mass.
No, no, don't run away! This won't get too technical. I promise …
By way of explaining, I point out that this year we observed the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the ocean liner RMS Titanic, which was an important event for several reasons.
First, it led to major changes in maritime regulations to implement new safety measures. Oh sure, the wimmen, children and men in drag all go first, but at least now there's a little more seating available for the Poor and Unfamous.
Second, the sinking was ironic because it was the ship's maiden voyage and it was designed and touted as 'virtually unsinkable'. Uh huh … and – "I'm from the government and I'm here to help …"
Finally, its important to my theory because historians have told us there were only 2,223 passengers aboard and it sank because it hit an iceberg.
Luckily you have me around to let you in on a secret – the historians have it wrong!
My meticulous research has revealed there were actually 17, 814 people aboard the Titanic! It was therefore overcrowding and not a wayward iceberg that gave James Cameron Hollywood clout and Celine Dion a Las Vegas career!
Oh sure, you can argue there are no official records documenting all those additional stowaways. But that's only because all that extra ballast came in the form of -- wayward time travelers!
Don't scoff! Who you going to believe? Some stodgy old historian locked away in a library or l'il ol' me and the internet?
It was through the Titanic incident that I noticed that some moments in time are hot spots for time-lost travelers!
If time travelers know where they're going, their machine usually brings them to a mega-personal moment where they can alter or ensure their own destiny. Marty McFly takes a DeLorean joyride and sees that his parents meet and sperminate; and the Schwarteneggar T-100 goes back in time repeatedly (as long as the franchise makes money) to make sure there is no spermination.
But those unwary souls suddenly sucked through a random time portal after exiting Walmart – yup! I've seen it happen! – always ALWAYS land smack dab in the middle of one of history's defining moments.
It happens far too often to be a coincidence, so I deduced that every tick … tick … tick of time has the temporal equivalent of mass. You recall mass from high school science, right? The planet Jupiter has lots of it, so runaway comets and space rocks the size of Texas visit and self destruct more often than Charlie Sheen.
Explained another way, the number of seats that get filled around a girl at a bar is directly related to her accessibility and looks. Think of the sinking of the Titanic as Megan Fox in a bikini, intoxicated and needing a ride home.
These high temporal mass historical events are typically cataclysmic, and their ripple effect through pop culture is wide ranging. Hapless time travelers wandering aimlessly in the time stream simply can't avoid getting sucked into their grasp!
There's also a spatial component to the "Forest Gump Singularity" ™. Time travelers accidentally falling into worm holes don't just emerge on the correct date, but within yards of the event's location! The unlucky victim doesn't just arrive on April 15, 1912 on the deck of uneventful booze cruise in the Bahamas, but at 41° 46' North 50° 14' West on the Titanic's deck just prior to that poor iceberg getting all the blame.
Just look at the evidence! Tony and Doug, in the very first episode of TV's The Time Tunnel end up there unexpectedly. They fall into a malfunctioning time machine and – bam! – there's a Kate Winslet lookalike posing on the bow!
Sam, in Quantum Leap, in true Alice In Wonderland fashion, also found himself up a current without a paddle.
The 11-year-old hero of Time Bandits arrives aboard and starts treading cold water.
There are numerous other incidents that have been recorded in episodes of the Night Gallery and Twilight Zone.
While the Titanic sinking is easily the most massive object and / or prettiest girl in time, there are a few others that rank right up there in impromptu visitations.
Victims of wayward time portals are equally likely to appear --
… during the sinking of Atlantis! Bill and Ted arrive and have an excellent adventure, not during commuter rush hour nor during the finale of a chili cookoff, but moments before the volcano erupts and the whole island sinks.
… at Hiroshima, precisely when the Enola Gay flies overhead and makes everyone wish they had booked a voyage to Jamaica.
… on the streets of Dallas during President Kennedy's motorcade or when Abe Lincoln finally gave in to his wife's nagging and went to the opera.
… on horseback during Custer's bad hair day.
… or during the San Francisco Earthquake.
It's almost guaranteed that he will NOT appear on Sunday, April 11, 1954. Thats the day computer scientists with access to nearly unlimited computing power and too much free time, used 300 million facts, and calculated it to be the most boring day in history.
My advice? If your Horoscope advises you to "Dress warmly", don't pick that day to visit any of your mad scientist friends or volunteer for secret military experiments.

The sign said that, if the checkout person didn't mention "today's daily special," she would be obligated to give it to me for free.
As I was reading it (it's my ADHD, I can't stand still for a moment without doing something, so I tend to read absolutely everything around me), she quickly explained in an apologetic tone that she hadn't mentioned "today's daily special" because I already had it in my basket.
I was puzzled. If I already had it, why bother mentioning it? And especially, why apologize?
Heck, it's Christmas, so I smiled and said Merry Christmas and left with my few groceries.
But I kept puzzling over the encounter. I guess there's also a bit of OCD in the basket of psychological/emotional issues that make me who I am (no daily specials - cheap and easy for me to take advantage of anytime.)
The answer suddenly came to me in one of those aha! moments - after I mentioned it to Donna and she said, "Of course, if she hadn't mentioned it, you could have been a bastard and demanded that you get it for free."
Oh, yeah. The checkout person interpreted my inclination to read anything - everything - voraciously as "checking the rules."
She thought I was about to call her out on "today's daily special" - demand I get it free - so she quickly corrected her "oversight."
Because there are jerks out there who'd have made a stink over that stupid technicality.
The foolish thing is that the sign is not for the cashier or for ordinary, decent people who either would have not bothered, because they obviously hadn't intended to buy "today's daily special" in the first place, or would not capitalize on someone's insignificant error.
That sign was there specifically to encourage the jerks. The ones who would eagerly wait for the tiniest error, and then pounce on it for even the slightest personal gain, without regard for the expense to someone else.
It's the same attitude people employ when they get too much change at the till because of a simple error in counting: you made the mistake, it's your tough luck, and screw you.
When we were kids, we played a lot of cribbage. One of the official rules of cribbage is that, if you miss counting some of the points in your hand, the first person who catches your error can claim those points.
We were quickly disabused of the notion that that was a fair way to play any game. The rule was disallowed in our home.
The sign, the crib rule. it's all dog logic: "Anything I can take from you is mine."
It's the logic that sends jerks over the border to shop and save a few pennies at the expense of their neighbours in Canada who end up paying for all the services that our taxes buy - for everyone, including the cross-border jerks.
That includes some services that Americans don't get at all, like the "free" health care that the jerks happily accept when they need it.
The jerks don't get that health care is not free at all. Our overall cost is cheaper than Americans pay on average, but it still only seems "free" because we all pay a fair share - except the jerks who sidestep taxes by slinking across the border to do their shopping.
The irony is that the people who shop across the border are the ones who could afford to shop here. If you really can't afford to shop locally, you probably do not have the means to take the trip across the border, or to buy enough stuff at a time to make the trip worthwhile.
Health care and other tax-funded services are only free for the jerks who don't pay their fair share. For them, life is full of "today's daily specials" that some poor schmo forgot to mention.

My grandchildren enjoy making up their own rules like seeing who can get all the beans. I like the way the beans are stored in the bean pot. I would prefer that the base and hands fit in the box when assembled.

Five & Two Year Old Love This Game
By Mom of Two
from WI
My five year old and two and a half year old love playing this game!
don't waste money
By marie
from nashville, tn
My son is 3 and loves this game. However, it is cheaply made. The pot will not stay level, favors one side. Very difficult to win with only 2 players because you cannot get the pot to level out by adding more beans! The hands that hold the pot are very flimsy also.
Fun and interactive game.
By Grammy K.
from Maryland
Very disappointing since the lid to the bean pot was NOT in the box. (It was missing) Therefore, the pot would not spill over when beans were added. They simply fell into the pot.
it kind of favored one side

This is the offseason that could decide the fate of Detroit Lions general manager Martin Mayhew. That's a fact regardless of whether anyone in the organization would ever state it so bluntly. Mayhew's precarious position explains why the Lions have been extremely active in free agency, signing running back Reggie Bush, safety Glover Quin and defensive end Jason Jones. They kept safety Louis Delmas and cornerback Chris Houston, but allowed the overpriced duo of tackle Gosder Cherilus and defensive end Cliff Avril to walk. Mayhew knows there has to be a sense of urgency, even if he hasn't admitted that the 2013 season could determine his future in Detroit. "Let me just say this," Mayhew told MLive.com's Anwar Richardson. "When you win four games, you better have a sense of urgency about it. Certainly, I had a great sense of urgency about this offseason, but I wouldn't categorize it as not having a great sense of urgency in the previous offseasons. I just think we came into it with a great sense of urgency about getting better."

Reforming the Juvenile Justice System: A Workshop for Change
April 26 & 27 2013 in Gainesville
Sponsored by the Center on Children & Families partnering with Harvard Law School and Georgetown.
This is an invitation only conference.
Professor Charles Ogletree will be our plenary speaker.
This conference is focused on critiques and reforms of the existing juvenile justice system. Our goal is to foster a conversation about system change, broadly defined, which may include topics as broad and wide-ranging as policy reforms, interrogating the narratives surrounding juvenile justice, innovative community based strategies, a focus on traditionally underrepresented populations, the role of counsel and parents in system reform, and/or therapeutic jurisprudence.
The Black Child Savers:
Racial Democracy and American Juvenile Justice
Featuring Professor Geoff Ward.The Black Child Savers examines how the history of American juvenile justice, an institution envisioned as a "manufactory of citizens," is shaped by the embattled racial politics of American liberal democracy.

Insulin Aspart, Recombinant (Subcutaneous Route)
Original Article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/drug-information/DR601717
Insulin Aspart, Recombinant (Subcutaneous Route)
Drug Information provided by: MicromedexUS Brand Names
Insulin aspart is a fast-acting type of human insulin. Insulin is used by people with diabetes to help keep blood sugar levels under control. If you have diabetes, your body cannot make enough or does not use insulin properly. So, you must take additional insulin to regulate your blood sugar and keep your body healthy. This is very important as too much sugar in your blood can be harmful to your health. Since insulin aspart acts faster than regular human insulin, you normally should use insulin aspart with a longer-acting insulin.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
This product is available in the following dosage forms:
- Solution
Before Using
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated pediatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of insulin aspart in children. However, safety and efficacy of insulin aspart mix 50/50 and 70/30 in the pediatric population have not been established.
Although appropriate studies on the relationship of age to the effects of insulin aspart have not been performed in the geriatric population, geriatric-specific problems are not expected to limit the usefulness of insulin aspart in the elderly. However, elderly patients are more likely to have age-related heart, liver, or kidney problems which may require an adjustment of dosage in patients receiving insulin aspart.
Pregnancy Category | Explanation | |
All Trimesters | B | Animal studies have revealed no evidence of harm to the fetus, however, there are no adequate studies in pregnant women OR animal studies have shown an adverse effect, but adequate studies in pregnant women have failed to demonstrate a risk to the fetus. |
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.

Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.
Other Medical Problems
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this medicine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
- Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)—Should not be used in patients with this condition. If you have low blood sugar and take insulin, your blood sugar may reach dangerously low levels.
- Hypokalemia (low potassium in the blood)—May make this condition worse and increase your chance of having serious side effects.
- Infection or any illness or
- Stress (e.g., physical or emotional)—These conditions increase blood sugar and may increase the amount of insulin aspart you need.
- Kidney disease or
- Liver disease—Effects of insulin aspart may be increased or decreased; your doctor may need to change your insulin dose.
Proper Use
Each package of insulin aspart contains a patient information sheet. Read this sheet carefully before beginning treatment and each time you refill for any new information, and make sure you understand:
- How to prepare the medicine.
- How to inject the medicine.
- How to use disposable insulin delivery device.
- How to dispose of syringes, needles, and injection devices.
It is best to use a different place on the body for each injection (e.g., abdomen, thigh, or upper arm). If you have questions about this, contact a member of your health care team.
When used as a mealtime insulin, insulin aspart should be taken within 5-10 minutes before the meal or immediately before the meal.
Follow carefully the special meal plan your doctor gave you. This is the most important part of controlling your condition, and is necessary if the medicine is to work properly. Also, exercise regularly and test for sugar in your blood or urine as directed.
When used in an insulin pump: Carefully read and follow the external insulin pump instructions. This insulin should not be mixed with any other insulin or diluted when used in an insulin pump. If you do not understand how you are to use the insulin pump, contact your health care professional.
You should never mix insulin aspart with other insulin injections without checking with your doctor first. These injections are usually done separately. If you have questions about this, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
This medicine can also be given as an intravenous (IV) infusion only by a healthcare professional in a clinic or hospital.
The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
- For injection dosage form:
- For diabetes mellitus:
- Adults—The dose is based on your blood sugar and must be determined by your doctor.
- Children—Use and dose must be determined by your doctor.
- For diabetes mellitus:
Store in the refrigerator. Do not freeze.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.
After a cartridge has been inserted into a pen, store the cartridge and pen at room temperature, not in the refrigerator.
Never share insulin pens or cartridges with others under any circumstances. It is not safe for one pen to be used for more than one person. Sharing needles or pens can result in transmission of hepatitis viruses, HIV, or other blood-borne illnesses.
Your doctor will want to check your progress at regular visits, especially during the first few weeks you take this medicine. Blood tests may be needed to check for unwanted effects.
It is very important to follow carefully any instructions from your health care team about:
- Alcohol—Drinking alcohol may cause severe low blood sugar. Discuss this with your health care team.
- Other medicines—Do not take other medicines during the time you are taking insulin aspart unless they have been discussed with your doctor. This especially includes nonprescription medicines such as aspirin, and medicines for appetite control, asthma, colds, cough, hay fever, or sinus problems.
- Counseling—Other family members need to learn how to prevent side effects or help with side effects if they occur. Also, patients with diabetes may need special counseling about diabetes medicine dosing changes that might occur because of lifestyle changes, such as changes in exercise and diet. Furthermore, counseling on contraception and pregnancy may be needed because of the problems that can occur in patients with diabetes during pregnancy.
- Travel—Keep a recent prescription and your medical history with you. Be prepared for an emergency as you would normally. Make allowances for changing time zones and keep your meal times as close as possible to your usual meal times.
In case of emergency—There may be a time when you need emergency help for a problem caused by your diabetes. You need to be prepared for these emergencies. It is a good idea to:
- Wear a medical identification (ID) bracelet or neck chain at all times. Also, carry an ID card in your wallet or purse that says that you have diabetes and a list of all of your medicines.
Insulin aspart may cause a serious allergic reaction, which can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention. Tell your doctor right away if you have a rash; itching; swelling of the face, tongue, and throat; trouble breathing; or chest pain after you get the injection.
Too much insulin aspart can cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Symptoms of low blood sugar include anxiety; behavior change similar to being drunk; blurred vision; cold sweats; confusion; depression; difficulty in thinking; dizziness or lightheadedness; drowsiness; excessive hunger; fast heartbeat; headache; irritability or abnormal behavior; nervousness; nightmares; restless sleep; shakiness; slurred speech; and tingling in the hands, feet, lips, or tongue.
Low blood sugar also can occur if you use insulin aspart with another antidiabetic medicine, delay or miss a meal or snack, exercise more than usual, drink alcohol, or cannot eat because of nausea or vomiting or have diarrhea.
If symptoms of low blood sugar occur, eat glucose tablets or gel to relieve the symptoms. Also, check your blood for low blood sugar. Get to a doctor or a hospital right away if the symptoms do not improve. Someone should call for emergency help immediately if severe symptoms such as convulsions (seizures) or unconsciousness occur. Have a glucagon kit available, along with a syringe and needle, and know how to use it. Members of your household also should know how to use it.
Symptoms of high blood sugar include blurred vision; drowsiness; dry mouth; flushed, dry skin; fruit-like breath odor; increased urination; ketones in urine; loss of appetite; stomachache, nausea, or vomiting; tiredness; troubled breathing (rapid and deep); unconsciousness; and unusual thirst.
Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) may occur if you do not take enough or skip a dose of your antidiabetic medicine, overeat or do not follow your meal plan, have a fever or infection, or do not exercise as much as usual.
If symptoms of high blood sugar occur, check your blood sugar level and then call your doctor for instructions.
Side Effects
Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.
Check with your doctor immediately if any of the following side effects occur:

Paris Vacations: Part 3 - Day Two: Musee du Louvre, Notre Dame de Paris and La Conciergerie
As planned, the second day was devoted entirely to museums. The first on the list was Louvre - one of the oldest and largest art galleries and museums. And, of course, being in Paris without visiting Louvre was just not possible. La Conciergerie, as a place, is not that large - visitors enter the Conciergerie at the Hall of Men-at-Arms, a massive Gothic hall and remarkable 209 feet long, 90 feet wide and 28 feet high architectural structure. But mostly, La Conciergerie with its recreation of actual prison cells and other facilities remains a grim reminder of the darkest days in France's history. Sept. 2, 2007

Stop ebay selling tickets at triple face value!
I\'ve been trying this morning (unsuccessfully) to buy tickets for a couple of gigs that I wanted to go to with the misses. I was on 3 different ticketing websites, and redialling the phone constantly. Now I know in the past some events have been hard to get tickets for cause of their popularity. Fair enough. But things are getting worse and worse. Every event (that\'s even slightly popular) is selling out in minutes, and the average joe left unable to book tickets. Why Because everyone is a potential ticket tout from the warmth of their own bedroom. Thanks eBay. One of the events I was trying to get tickets to is XFM\'s Winter Wonderland, which is a charity event in the name of shelter for the homeless. The tickets were

Dr. Rougier-Chapman is a Radiology Resident, Ms. Key is a Nurse Practitioner, and Dr. Ryan is an Assistant Professor of Radiology, in the Division of Vascular-Interventional Radiology, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC.
Uterine leiomyomas (fibroids) are the most common gynecological tumors in women, occurring in 20% to 25% of women of childbearing age. 1 They are three times more common in the African-American population than in the white population. Although asymptomatic in the majority of women, fibroids are a common cause of heavy prolonged menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia), intermenstrual bleeding (menometrorrhagia), urinary frequency, stress incontinence, and pelvic pain in approximately 25% of women with fibroids. Although patients may experience these symptoms during their 20s, women usually do not manifest severe symptoms until their late 30s or 40s. Fibroid disease is responsible for the loss of 5 to 10 million person-days, for 900,000 hospital days, and a direct cost of more than $1 billion in the United States annually.
Transcatheter uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a rapidly emerging alternative to conventional medical and surgical therapy in the treatment of symptomatic uterine leiomyomas. The technique of pelvic vessel embolization is well recognized as an effective treatment for acute pelvic hemorrhage, with the first successful uterine artery embolization for this indication reported in 1979. 2 Embolization has been used successfully in cases of postpartum hemorrhage, trauma, postsurgical bleeding, ectopic pregnancy, placenta accreta, cervical pregnancy, and vascular malformation. In 1994, Ravina et al 3 described uterine artery embolization as an adjunct to surgery in the treatment of fibroids 3 and a year later described it as a primary therapy. 4
Irrespective of what therapeutic method you use, it is justifiable to treat fibroid disease only if it is symptomatic. Before offering UAE to any patient, other less invasive therapeutic options should be explored first. At first, treatment of symptomatic fibroid disease should be attempted with medical therapy. Nonsurgical medical therapy for symptomatic leiomyomas may include the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents, the oral contraceptive pill, or progesterone analogs for patients with milder symptoms. Hormonal therapy with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogs is reserved for patients with more severe intractable symptoms. The GnRH analogs cause involution of fibroids by decreasing estrogen levels but are associated with postmenopausal symptomatology, including hot flashes and demineralization of bone. These medications are limited to use for no longer than 6 months and are primarily used to reduce tumor size and vascularity prior to surgical intervention. On average, a 40% reduction in fibroid volume is observed in the first 3 months of GnRH therapy, 5 however, fibroids typically regrow to their original size within several months of discontinuing the medication. 6
The established surgical therapy for symptomatic uterine leiomyomas is hysterectomy. Symptomatic fibroids account for nearly a third of all hysterectomies performed in the United States, with estimates of 177,000 to 366,000 hysterectomies performed annually for fibroid disease alone. 7 In experienced surgical hands, hysterectomy is a safe operation with a low complication rate. It is, however, a major surgical procedure with an extended recovery period of approximately 6 weeks and with significant postoperative morbidity.
The accepted surgical alternative to hysterectomy is myomectomy. This procedure involves removal of fibroids while preserving both the uterus and the patient's childbearing potential. Myomectomy has a reported 80% success rate in controlling symptoms, but carries an appreciable perioperative and postoperative morbidity. Also, not all patients are candidates for this procedure. The procedure is associated with significant intraoperative bleeding complications, postoperative infections, pain, and a longer hospital stay than that of conventional hysterectomy. 8 Because of bleeding complications at the time of operation, approximately 20% of elective myomectomies result in hysterectomy. Furthermore, fibroid recurrence rate of 43% has been reported after myomectomy, 9 with 20% to 25% of women eventually requiring an additional surgical procedure for the treatment of fibroids. 8
Uterine artery embolization has emerged as a minimally invasive uterine-sparing alternative to surgery and appears to be associated with less morbidity than is conventional surgical modalities. The technique has captured the public imagination, and many interventional radiologists are now being contacted directly by patients who have researched the topic in women's magazines and on the multitude of internet sites dealing with the subject (e.g., www.nuff.org, www.fibroid.org, www.scvir.org, www.radweb.mc.duke.edu/ufe, etc). Early and midterm results are extremely encouraging, and large-scale studies are currently in progress to assess the long-term effectiveness and durability of the technique.
It is important to ensure that meticulous preprocedural work-up is performed in all cases. In our practice, before we consider a patient for UAE, she must be seen by a gynecologist, imaging must be obtained (ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging), and a Pap smear must be up to date. When all of this information is made available to us, we then have a preprocedural consultation with the patient, during which the severity of the patient's symptoms are assessed, and alternative forms of therapy are discussed. The UAE procedure is discussed in detail, including postprocedural expectations, results reported in the literature, and the possible complications associated with the technique. We specifically discuss issues of fertility and premature ovarian failure, and we explore the patient's wishes for future pregnancy. Coexisting conditions, such as acute pelvic infection or endometrial cancer, must be excluded, as these are contraindications to UAE.
Informed consent is obtained when the patient presents for the procedure. The embolization procedure is performed in the interventional radiology suite, and a combination of local anaesthetic and intravenous conscious sedation is used for patient comfort. Patients receive prophylactic antibiotics (cefazolin), and then cannulation of the right or left common femoral artery is performed. We use a unilateral approach; however, some groups use bilateral common femoral artery cannulation, citing easier cannulation of the uterine artery from a contralateral approach, shorter procedure times, and decreased pelvic radiation dose. 10
Before embolization, an arteriogram is performed to examine the blood supply to the uterus (figure 1). The usual blood supply of leiomyomas is through branches of the arcuate arteries, arising from the uterine artery by way of the anterior branch of the internal iliac artery. 11 In order to prevent nontarget embolization to other branches of the anterior branch of the internal iliac artery, it is necessary to advance the catheter into the distal descending portion or the horizontal portion of the uterine artery. We find that the uterine arteries are easily selected using a 4F hydrophilic catheter, or Roberts Uterine Curve catheter (Cook, Inc., Bloomington, IN), following a selective angiogram of the internal iliac artery with contralateral anterior oblique imaging (figure 2). Occasionally we use a microcatheter to cannulate the uterine artery if the artery is small or if vasospasm is encountered. With the catheter in its proposed final position for embolization, a selective angiogram should be performed to detect ovarian branches or cervicovaginal branches of the uterine artery, which should be avoided during embolization (figure 3). It is not uncommon for fibroids to get additional blood supply from other pelvic vessels. 12
We perform embolization with 355 to 500 µm polyvinyl alcohol particles (Ivalon, Cook, Inc.) or 500 to 700 Embosphere Microspheres (Biosphere Medical, Rockland, MA) until near-complete stasis of flow within the branches of the uterine artery is achieved. Some investigators use larger particles, citing increased pain with smaller particles, although we have not experienced this. The embolic particles are mixed with iodinated contrast to facilitate visualization during embolization. The catheter is then replaced into the ipsilateral uterine artery and embolization is similarly performed. Bilateral UAE should be performed in all patients, as unilateral embolization is associated with treatment failure. After the embolization is completed, an arteriogram is performed to confirm absence of flow to the fibroids (figure 4).
Upon completion of the procedure, patients are transferred to a 24-hour observation bed. Most patients experience mild to moderate pelvic pain starting 4 to 6 hours postprocedure and lasting up to 18 hours. We put patients on a self-administered analgesic pump during this period to ensure adequate pain-relief. Moderate pain may persist for several days, but does not appear to be related to size, location, or number of fibroids present. 13 Pain control is best maintained with a combination of opiates and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents. In addition to pain, a "postembolization" syndrome is not uncommon; this syndrome includes nausea, vomiting, fever, and leukocytosis. Most symptoms substantially improve after 24 hours, allowing for discharge from the hospital on the first postprocedural day. During the immediate postprocedural period, we ask patients to immediately report to us any high fevers, increasing pain, or purulent vaginal discharge. After discharge from the hospital, women usually experience intermittent pain and cramping over a 3- to 5-day period, with 90% of women back to normal activities within 10 days of the embolization procedure. 14 We see all patients at a follow-up appointment at 10 to 14 days, and follow-up imaging is currently performed at 3, 6, and 12 months.
Since 1995, more than 25,000 women worldwide (more than 15,000 in the United States) have undergone selective UAE for symptomatic fibroid disease; and early and mid-term results are promising. Results in 661 patients have been published in peer-reviewed literature, and 7 studies of >40 patients have been published.
Results from the reported studies indicate that UAE is effective in improving symptoms in the majority of patients; 81% to 94% report significant improvement in their menorrhagia. Bulk-symptoms, including pain, pressure, bloating, and urinary frequency, are improved in 64% to 96% of patients. Compared with the standard uterine-sparing procedure (myomectomy), UAE has similar effectiveness. Most of the data published to date refer to UAE with polyvinyl alcohol particles. Comparable results have been recently reported using the new synthetic microsphere particle of a trisacryl polymer matrix embedded with gelatin (Embosphere Microspheres, Biosphere Medical). We have had similar successful personal experience with this agent.
As with any invasive procedure, transcatheter uterine artery embolization is not completely without complications. Short-term complications are related primarily to arterial access, and include thromboembolic phenomena, groin hematomas, and local infection at the arterial puncture site. Long-term complications are uncommon, with the need for postembolization hysterectomy indicated in <1% of cases, usually due to infective sequelae. 15 Goodwin 16 reported a single case of postprocedure endometritis requiring hysterectomy, while Walker et al 17 reported 2 cases of postprocedure infection leading to hysterectomy. In 1999, a fatal case of Escherichia coli septic anemia was reported after UAE. The origin of infection was an infarcted fibroid. 18 Transvaginal expulsion of fibroids has also been reported following UAE. The estimated mortality rate of UAE is 2 per 10,000 cases. Hysterectomy has an estimated mortality rate of 11 per 10,000 cases.
At this time, it remains undetermined what effect embolization of the uterine arteries has on long-term ovarian function and the ability of women to carry a pregnancy to term. Successful pregnancies have been achieved after bilateral UAE for postpartum hemorrhage, placenta accreta, and trauma, and for symptomatic fibroid disease. 13 Studies report a 2% to 3.7% incidence of permanent amenorrhea after embolization, mainly due to nontarget embolization to the ovaries. 19 The incidence rises to approximately 15% in patients age 45 years and older, presumably due to decreased ovarian reserve as patients approach meno-pause. For this reason, when we are assessing patients for suitability for UAE, if the patient is young or future fertility is an important issue, we consider myomectomy as the first line of treatment. If myomectomy is not appropriate, or if the patient is completely resistant to surgery, only then will we proceed with UAE. It has been shown that performing UAE with gelfoam (a nonpermanent embolic agent) is effective in treating symptomatic fibroid disease with reduced incidence of ovarian dysfunction. 20
Uterine artery embolization represents an exciting, promising, and minimally invasive new option for patients with symptomatic fibroid disease. 21 The data reported thus far indicates that success rates are comparable to the standard uterine-sparing surgical therapy. A shorter postprocedural recovery period and lower morbidity and mortality rates are associated with UAE compared with the surgical option. Considerable ongoing research is aimed at long-term follow-up of patients who undergo UAE. 7,21-22 The Society of Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology (SCVIR) has an ambitious and comprehensive research strategy for the validation of UAE for treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroids. A national registry has been established and will be coordinated by the Duke Clinical Research Institute. In addition, comparative studies among UAE, hysterectomy, and myomectomy are currently under consideration. The SCVIR has proposed to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists that a joint practice bulletin be issued to assist patients and health-care participants to make informed decisions regarding treatment of symptomatic fibroids.
As a result of the research being currently performed, one certainty remains for the future treatment of this disease: our patients will ultimately benefit, and that, of course, should remain the goal for all involved in the treatment of symptomatic fibroid disease. AR
