Hyperglycemia is when your blood glucose is too high; it is the opposite of hypoglycemia. Hyperglycemia needs to be treated immediately as it is a major cause of complications among people with diabetes.
Hyperglycemia happens when there is no insulin in the blood, not enough insulin in the blood, or the insulin in the blood is not working properly.
The main reason for hyperglycemia for a patient who is being treated for diabetes type 1 is that he/she has not given himself enough insulin. For a type 2 diabetic it could be the same reason, but also his/her insulin is less effective than it should be.
For a patient with diabetes, overeating can bring on hyperglycemia, as can too little exercise on a given day. Mental stress can also bring it on. Remember that your body's supply of insulin is determined by how much you give yourself, and when. For a person who does not have diabetes his/her body will respond automatically with appropriate quantities of insulin.
Symptoms of hyperglycemia
* High blood glucose
* High levels of sugar in the urine
* Very hungry, hungry often (polyphagia)
* Excessive thirst, frequent thirst (polydipsia)
* Excessive and frequent urination (polyuria)
* Blurred vision - Weight loss
* Wounds and cuts heal poorly
* Dry mouth
* Cardiac arrhythmia
* Deep and rapid breathing (kussmaul hyperventilation)
* Impotence (erectile dysfunction)
* Itchy and/or dry skin
* Tiredness
* Stupor
* Coma
Good diabetes management is crucial
Your doctor will tell you what your glucose levels should be and how often you should check it. If you stick to good diabetes management practices your chances of experiencing hyperglycemia are significantly reduced.
Ketoacidosis
As soon as you detect hyperglycemia, treat it immediately. People who experience hyperglycemia and do not treat it run a significantly high risk of going into diabetic coma (ketoacidosis).
Ketoacidosis happens when there is not enough insulin in your blood. Remember that without the insulin your cells cannot get the vital fuel (energy) they need. Your body starts breaking down fats to get its energy. This process of breaking down fats produces ketones - waste products. Large amounts of ketones are bad for you. Excess ketones in your blood will result in frequent urination as your body tries to eliminate it. However, it eventually becomes a losing battle, with the build up of ketones happening faster than their elimination through urination.
Symptoms of ketoacidosis are:
* your breath smells fruity
* nausea and sometimes vomiting
* your mouth is extremely dry
* you are short of breath
Treating hyperglycemia
The American Diabetes Association says exercising can help lower blood glucose levels. If your blood glucose is above 240mg/dl. Check your urine for ketones and do not exercise if there are ketones present as this will raise your blood glucose levels even more!
Reducing your food intake will also help lower your blood glucose. It is important that you stick to your meal plan, which should be worked out with a dietitian or health care professional.
Ask your doctor for the best way to lower blood glucose levels.
If none of the measures mentioned above manages to lower your blood glucose it is possible that your medication may have to be re-scheduled. Your insulin and medication doses may need to be altered, as might their timing (when you have them).
Remember that good diabetes management helps reduce the incidence of hyperglycemia. Learn to detect hyperglycemia quickly so that you can treat it early on.
You cannot take insulin as a pill. If you did, the moment it got to your stomach it would be digested and would never get into your bloodstream.
You have to inject insulin into the fat just under your skin - from there it will get to your bloodstream.
There are many types of insulin. According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA) there are over 20 types of insulin in the American market. They work in different ways, they are made differently, and they vary in price.
Insulin is most commonly made in laboratories today. It can also come from animals, mainly pigs.
Rapid-acting insulin
This type of human insulin starts to work within five minutes of being injected and peaks after about one hour. It continues to be active for 2 to 4 hours. Examples of rapid-acting insulin are lispro marketed by Eli Lilly, insulin aspart marketed by Novo Nordisk, or insulin glulisine marketed by sanofi-aventis.
Short-acting insulin
Also known as Regular (acting) insulin. This type of human insulin reaches your bloodstream approximately 30 minutes after you inject it, and peaks from 2 to 3 hours after injection. It is effective for 3 to 6 hours.
Intermediate-acting insulin
This human insulin takes from 2 to 4 hours to reach the bloodstream after injection. It peaks at 4 to 12 hours. It is effective for approximately 12 to 18 hours.
Long-acting insulin
This insulin gets into your bloodstream about 6 to 10 hours after you inject it. It is effective for 20 to 24 hours. This type of insulin is also known as ultralente.
Pre-mixed insulin
Some patients have to mix two different types of insulin. If they find that difficult they can have the insulin pre-mixed. This is especially useful for people who are visually impaired.
Allergic reaction to insulin additives
The insulin a diabetic takes has additives to keep it free of bacteria and to tweak its time of action. Some patients may have an allergic reaction to some additives found in intermediate and long-acting insulins - however, this is very rare.

Treatment for diabetes - how is diabetes managed?
A long time ago
Before insulin was discovered in 1921 Diabetes Type 1 was a fatal disease - most patients would die within a few years of onset. Things have changed a great deal since then.
You can lead a normal life
If you have Type 1 and follow a healthy eating plan, do adequate exercise, and take insulin, you can lead a normal life. Look at our page on Famous Diabetics - there are many of them and they have achieved great things!
Balance insulin intake with food and lifestyle
The quantity of insulin intake must be closely linked to how much food you consume, as well as when you eat. Your daily activities will also have a bearing on when and how much insulin you take.
Checking your blood glucose levels
A person with diabetes has to have his/her blood glucose levels checked periodically. There is a blood test called the A1C which tells you what your average blood glucose levels were over a two-to-three month period.
Type 2 patients need to eat healthily, be physically active, and test their blood glucose. They may also need to take oral medication, and/or insulin to control blood glucose levels.
Prevent developing cardiovascular disease
As the risk of cardiovascular disease is much higher for a diabetic, it is crucial that blood pressure and cholesterol levels are monitored regularly.
Healthy eating, doing exercise, keeping your weight down will all contribute towards good cardiovascular health - some patients will need oral medication for this.
Stop smoking!
As smoking might have a serious effect on the cardiovascular health the patient should stop smoking.
A health care provider
A health care professional (HCP) will help the patient learn how to manage his/her diabetes. The HCP will also monitor the diabetes control. It is important that you know what to do and that a professional is helping and monitoring the management of your diabetes.
In most countries the GP (general practitioner, primary care physician, family doctor) provides this regular care. There are also diabetitians, endocrinologists, cardiologists, nurses, internists, pediatricians, dietitians, podiatrists, ophthalmologists, optometrists, sports specialists and many others.
If a diabetes patient is pregnant she should see an obstetrician who specializes in diabetes (gestational diabetes). There are pediatricians who specialize in caring for the infants of diabetic mothers.
The aim of diabetes management
The main aim of diabetes management is to keep the following under control:
* Blood glucose levels
* Blood pressure
* Cholesterol levels
High and low blood glucose
The patient will need to make sure his/her blood glucose levels do not fluctuate too much.
Hypoglycemia - low blood glucose - can have a bad effect on the patient. Hypoglycemia can cause:
* Shakiness
* Anxiety
* Palpitations, Tachycardia
* Feeling hot, sweating
* Clamminess
* Feeling cold
* Hunger
* Nausea
* Abdominal discomfort
* Headache
* Numbness, pins and needles
* Depression, moodiness
* Apathy, Tiredness, Fatigue, Daydreaming
* Confusion
* Dizziness
* Bad coordination, slurred speech
* Seizures
* Coma
More information on Hypoglycemia is available on our Hypoglycemia page.
Hyperglycemia - when blood glucose is too high - can also have a bad effect on the patient. Hyperglycemia can cause:
* Polyphagia - frequently hungry
* Polydipsia - frequently very thirsty
* Polyuria - frequent urination
* Blurred vision
* Extreme tiredness
* Weight loss
* Cuts and scrapes will heal slowly and badly
* Dry mouth
* Dry or itchy skin
* Erectile dysfunction (impotence)
* Recurrent infections
* Kussmaul hyperventilation: deep and rapid breathing
* Cardiac arrhythmia
* Stupor
* Coma

Why is it called Diabetes Mellitus?
Diabetes comes from Greek, and it means a siphon. Aretus the Cappadocian, a Greek physician during the second century A.D., named the condition diabainein. He described patients who were passing too much water (polyuria) - like a siphon. The word became "diabetes" from the English adoption of the Medieval Latin diabetes.
In 1675 Thomas Willis added mellitus to the term, although it is commonly referred to simply as diabetes. Mel in Latin means honey; the urine and blood of people with diabetes has excess glucose, and glucose is sweet like honey. Diabetes mellitus could literally mean "siphoning off sweet water".
In ancient China people observed that ants would be attracted to some people's urine, because it was sweet. The term "Sweet Urine Disease" was coined.
There are three main types of diabetes:
Diabetes Type 1 - You produce no insulin at all.
Diabetes Type 2 - You don't produce enough insulin, or your insulin is not working properly.
Gestational Diabetes - You develop diabetes just during your pregnancy.
(World Health Organization)
Diabetes Types 1 & 2 are chronic medical conditions - this means that they are persistent and perpetual. Gestational Diabetes usually resolves itself after the birth of the child.
Treatment is effective and important
All types of diabetes are treatable, but Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes last a lifetime; there is no known cure. The patient receives regular insulin, which became medically available in 1921. The treatment for a patient with Type 1 is mainly injected insulin, plus some dietary and exercise adherence.
Patients with Type 2 are usually treated with tablets, exercise and a special diet, but sometimes insulin injections are also required.
If diabetes is not adequately controlled the patient has a significantly higher risk of developing complications, such as hypoglycemia, ketoacidosis, and nonketotic hypersosmolar coma. Longer term complications could be cardiovascular disease, retinal damage, chronic kidney failure, nerve damage, poor healing of wounds, gangrene on the feet which may lead to amputation, and erectile dysfunction.

What is diabetes? What causes diabetes?
Diabetes (diabetes mellitus) is classed as a metabolism disorder. Metabolism refers to the way our bodies use digested food for energy and growth. Most of what we eat is broken down into glucose. Glucose is a form of sugar in the blood - it is the principal source of fuel for our bodies.
When our food is digested the glucose makes its way into our bloodstream. Our cells use the glucose for energy and growth. However, glucose cannot enter our cells without insulin being present - insulin makes it possible for our cells to take in the glucose.
Insulin is a hormone that is produced by the pancreas. After eating, the pancreas automatically releases an adequate quantity of insulin to move the glucose present in our blood into the cells, and lowers the blood sugar level.
A person with diabetes has a condition in which the quantity of glucose in the blood is too elevated (hyperglycemia). This is because the body either does not produce enough insulin, produces no insulin, or has cells that do not respond properly to the insulin the pancreas produces. This results in too much glucose building up in the blood. This excess blood glucose eventually passes out of the body in urine. So, even though the blood has plenty of glucose, the cells are not getting it for their essential energy and growth requirements.

What Is Migraine? What Causes Migraines?
A migraine is a severe, painful headache that is often preceded or accompanied by sensory warning signs such as flashes of light, blind spots, tingling in the arms and legs, nausea, vomiting, and increased sensitivity to light and sound. The excruciating pain that migraines bring can last for hours or even days.
Migraine headaches result from a combination of blood vessel enlargement and the release of chemicals from nerve fibers that coil around these blood vessels. During the headache, an artery enlarges that is located on the outside of the skull just under the skin of the temple (temporal artery). This causes a release of chemicals that cause inflammation, pain, and further enlargement of the artery.
A migraine headache causes the sympathetic nervous system to respond with feelings of nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting. This response also delays the emptying of the stomach into the small intestine (affecting food absorption), decreases blood circulation (leading to cold hands and feet), and increases sensitivity to light and sound.
More than 28 million Americans suffer from migraine headaches, and females are much more likely to get them than males.
What causes migraines?
Some people who suffer from migraines can clearly identify triggers or factors that cause the headaches, but many cannot. Potential migraine triggers include:
* Allergies and allergic reactions
* Bright lights, loud noises, and certain odors or perfumes
* Physical or emotional stress
* Changes in sleep patterns or irregular sleep
* Smoking or exposure to smoke
* Skipping meals or fasting
* Alcohol
* Menstrual cycle fluctuations, birth control pills, hormone fluctuations during menopause onset
* Tension headaches
* Foods containing tyramine (red wine, aged cheese, smoked fish, chicken livers, figs, and some beans), monosodium glutamate (MSG), or nitrates (like bacon, hot dogs, and salami)
* Other foods such as chocolate, nuts, peanut butter, avocado, banana, citrus, onions, dairy products, and fermented or pickled foods.
Triggers do not always cause migraines, and avoiding triggers does not always prevent migraines.
What are the symptoms of migraine?
Symptoms of migraine can occur a while before the headache, immediately before the headache, during the headache, and after the headache. Although not all migraines are the same, typical symptoms include:
* Moderate to severe pain, usually confined to one side of the head, but switching in successive migraines
* Pulsing and throbbing head pain
* Increasing pain during physical activity
* Inability to perform regular activities due to pain
* Nausea
* Vomiting
* Increased sensitivity to light and sound
Many people experience migraines with auras just before or during the head pain, but most do not. Auras are perceptual disturbances such as confusing thoughts or experiences and the perception of strange lights, sparkling or flashing lights, lines in the visual field, blind spots, pins and needles in an arm or leg, or unpleasant smells.
Migraine sufferers also may have premonitions called prodrome that can occur several hours or a day or so before the headache. These premonitions may consist of feelings of elation or intense energy, cravings for sweets, thirst, drowsiness, irritability, or depression.
How is migraine diagnosed?
Physicians will look at family medical history and check the patient for the symptoms described above in order to diagnose migraine. The International Headache Society recommends the "5, 4, 3, 2, 1 criteria" to diagnose migraines without aura. This stands for:
* 5 or more attacks
* 4 hours to 3 days in duration
* At least 2 of unilateral location, pulsating quality, moderate to severe pain, aggravation by or avoidance of routine physical activity
* At least 1 additional symptom such as nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light, sensitivity to sound.
Tests such as electroencephalography (EEG), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and spinal tap may also be performed that check for:
* Bleeding within the skull
* Blood clot within the membrane that covers the brain
* Stroke
* Dilated blood vessel in the brain
* Too much or too little cerebrospinal fluid
* Inflammation of the membranes of the brain or spinal cord
* Nasal sinus blockage
* Postictal headache (after stroke or seizure)
* Tumors
How is migraine treated and prevented?
Migraine treatment (abortive therapies) and prevention (prophylactic therapies) focus on avoiding triggers, controlling symptoms, and taking medicines. Over-the-counter medications such as naproxen, ibuprofen, acetaminophen (paracetamol), and other analgesics like Excedrin (aspirin with caffeine) are often the first abortive therapies to eliminate the headache or substantially reduce pain. Anti-emetics may also be employed to control symptoms such as nausea and vomiting.
Serotonin agonists such as sumatriptan may also be prescribed for severe migraines or for migraines that are not responding to the over-the-counter medications. Similarly, some selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) - antidepressants such as tricyclics - are prescribed to reduce migraine symptoms although they are not approved in all countries for this purpose.
Another class of abortive treatments are called ergots, which are usually effective if administered at the first sign of migraine. Other drugs have also been used to treat migraine such as combinations of barbituates, paracetamol or aspirin, and caffeine (Fioricet or Fiorinal) and combinations of acetaminophen, dichloralphenazone, and isometheptene (Amidrine, Duadrin, and Midrin). If vomiting makes drugs difficult to ingest, anti-emetics will be prescribed.
Migraine prevention begins with avoiding things that trigger the condition. The main goals of prophylactic therapies are to reduce the frequency, painfulness, and duration of migraine headaches and to increase the effectiveness of abortive therapies. There are several categories of preventive migraine medicine, ranging from diet changes and exercise to prescription drugs. Some of these include:
* Prescription beta blockers, anticonvulsants, and antidepressants
* Botulinum toxin A (Botox)
* Herbs and vitamins such as butterbur, cannabis, coenzyme Q10, feverfew, magnesium citrate, riboflavin, B12, melatonin
* Surgery that severs corrugator supercilii muscle and zygomaticotemporal nerve in the brain
* Spinal cord stimulator implantation
* Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
* Vision correction
* Exercise, sleep, sexual activity
* Visualization and self-hypnosis
* Chiropractic care or acupuncture
* Special diets such as gluten free
It is possible for people to get medication overuse headache (MOH), or rebound headache, when taking too many medications in an attempt to prevent migraine.

Obesity And Migraine Sufferers More Emotionally Traumatized Than Those With Life-Threatening Conditions
Need another reason to commit to a healthy diet and exercise? Think migraines are just headaches? Migraine and obesity sufferers feel more emotional pain than those dealing with life-threatening conditions like congestive heart failure, prostate cancer, osteoporosis and high blood pressure. In fact, they tend to feel more pessimistic than those diagnosed with depression.
In a study about healthcare influencers, AdSAM®, a non-verbal process of measuring emotional response, and TNS Healthcare found that people who suffer from some severe diseases accept and handle them better than other types of sufferers.
"People suffering from prostate cancer, seem to cope better than those suffering from migraine headaches," said Jon Morris, Ph.D., the president of AdSAM® and a communications professor at the University of Florida.
Results showed that migraine, obesity and erectile dysfunction sufferers essentially feel afraid, disgusted and saddened by their situation. Understanding the emotional impact of these and other conditions is critical to the physician's approach to condition management but also to those loved ones helping a patient through the condition.
Because of their embarrassed state-of-mind, those who suffer from obesity and erectile dysfunction often feel more comfortable talking with influencers - non-healthcare professionals such as relatives, friends, co-workers, etc., rather than physicians.
Obesity sufferers in particular feel most relaxed when discussing healthcare decisions with influencers. For men or women, the research shows that influencers are most often the women in sufferers' lives, such as their spouses, mothers, sisters or female friends.
"Understanding the emotions surrounding the condition and the patients' emotions towards the physician, as well as other influencers, has a major impact on how to communicate effectively with a patient," Morris said.
TNS Healthcare also conducted research into communications in healthcare. The results indicated that an integrated communications program targeted to patients, physicians and influencers is needed to reach and impact people most effectively, especially in today's digital age.
There are countless opportunities to seek healthcare information through the Internet and other channels. Discovering people's true emotions can help physicians identify individual needs and information-seeking preferences.

Migraine With Aura Is Associated With Increased Risk Of Stroke
A migraine with aura occurs when temporary visual or sensory disturbances are experienced before or during a migraine headache. A study just published on bmj.com reports that migraine with aura is associated with a twofold increased risk of stroke. Further risk factors for stroke among patients with migraine are being a woman, being young, being a smoker, and using contraceptives containing estrogen.
Up to 20 percent of the population is affected by migraine which is a common chronic disorder. Women are affected up to four times more often than men. Up to one third of sufferers also experience an aura prior to or during a migraine headache. The aura is often described as the perception of a strange light, an unpleasant smell or confusing thoughts or experiences.
For some time doctors have suspected a link between migraine and vascular events such as stroke. In order to further investigate, an international team of researchers analyzed the results of nine studies on the association between any migraine (with and without aura) and cardiovascular disease. To minimize bias, differences in study design and quality were considered.
Findings indicated that migraine with aura is associated with a twofold increased risk of ischemic stroke. This risk is further increased by being female, age less than 45 years, smoking, and estrogen containing contraceptive use.
No associations were found between migraine and heart attack or death due to cardiovascular disease.
In reaction to these findings, the authors suggest that young women who have migraine with aura should be strongly advised to stop smoking. In addition, methods of birth control other than estrogen containing contraceptives should be considered. Also, they suggest the need for further research in order to examine more thoroughly the association between migraine and cardiovascular disease.
In an associated editorial, Elizabeth Loder from Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, explains that the absolute risk of stroke for most migraine patients is low. Therefore a doubling of risk is not cause for panic. However, at a population level, this risk deserves awareness because the prevalence of migraine is so elevated.
She suggests that patients who have migraine with aura should be closely monitored and treated aggressively for modifiable cardiovascular risk factors.

Severe Childhood Obesity Linked To Missing DNA
.jpg)
Researchers in the UK have linked cases of severe childhood obesity to missing DNA that runs in families, whereby members missing the vital genetic chunk are severely obese from a young age, have a strong drive to eat and put on weight very easily; the missing DNA, called SH2B1, is located on chromosome 16 and plays an important role in regulating weight and blood sugar.
The finding has implications for the diagnosis and care of severely obese children, whose condition may be misattributed to abuse, said the researchers.
The study, thought to be the first to show this kind of genetic deletion can cause obesity, is the work of Dr Sadaf Farooqi from the University of Cambridge and Dr Matt Hurles from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, and colleagues, and was published online in the journal Nature on 6 December.
Obesity is on the rise and has become a major public health concern all over the world. Although the increase in the last 30 years is most likely driven by environmental factors such as diet and lifestyle, our genes also play an important part, for instance in determining why some of us are more likely to put on weight than others.
For the study, which was funded by the Wellcome Trust, Farooqi, Hurles and colleagues scanned the entire genomes of 300 severely obese children for mutations in copy number variants (CNVs), large segments of DNA that are either copied or missing in our genes, and which scientists suggest play a vital role in the development of genetic diseases.
They compared them to the genome information of over 7,000 controls, apparently healthy volunteers from the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium 2.
The results showed that the children with severe obesity had some CNVs that were different to the controls. The researchers wrote that:
"We identified several rare copy number variants that were recurrent in patients but absent or at much lower prevalence in controls."
Farooqi told the media:
"We found that part of chromosome 16 can be deleted in some families, and that people with this deletion have severe obesity from a young age."
"Our results suggest that one particular gene on chromosome 16 called SH2B1 plays a key role in regulating weight and also in handling blood sugar levels. People with deletions involving this gene had a strong drive to eat and gained weight very easily," he added.
Hurles said:
"This is the first evidence that copy number variants have been linked to a metabolic condition such as obesity. They are already known to cause other disorders such as autism and learning difficulties."
The finding has implications for the diagnosis and social care of severely obese children, whose condition may incorrectly be attributed to abuse by their parents or carers.
For instance, some of the children in the study had been placed on the Social Services "at risk" register because it was assumed that their parents were deliberately overfeeding them: they are now no longer on the register, according to a press statement from the University of Cambridge.
Farooqi said that their findings show that severe obesity is a "serious medical issue that deserves scientific investigation".
"It adds to the growing weight of evidence that a wide range of genetic variants can produce a strong drive to eat," he added, explaining that they hoped this discovery will change "attitudes and practices amongst those with professional responsibility for the health and well-being of children".
"Large, rare chromosomal deletions associated with severe early-onset obesity."

The Claim: High Blood Pressure Will Increase People’s Risk of Losing Their Hair
Scientists are not exactly sure why, but a number of studies have suggested a relationship between blood pressure and men’s baldness, particularly the early-onset kind.
In a study published in 2007, for example, researchers looked at 250 men ages 35 to 65. After controlling for age, high cholesterol, smoking and other variables, they found that hypertension was “strongly associated” with male pattern baldness: those with a blood pressure reading above 120 over 80 had twice the risk of the others.
Other studies have suggested a link between baldness and heart disease. For a 2000 study in The Archives of Internal Medicine, for example, researchers analyzed health records for 22,000 male doctors over 11 years, examining many aspects of their health. Men with mild balding of the crown had a 23 percent higher risk for heart disease, and those whose crowns were completely bald had a 36 percent greater risk.
But the relationship is only a correlation. Researchers suspect hair loss could be among many markers of an increased risk of hypertension, caused in part by higher levels of testosterone and other hormones, and more androgen receptors in the scalp.

Fedora 11 Beta Posted With New Security, Developer Features (PC World)
The Fedora Project released a beta of the next version of its free Linux OS with new security, desktop and developer features that provide a glimpse of the direction Red Hat could take with its enterprise Linux distribution.
The Fedora 11 beta is available online for download from the project's Web site. The project outlines some of the feature highlights of the release in a blog post. The final release of Fedora 11, code-named Leonidas, is scheduled to be available by the end of May.
Red Hat uses Fedora as a proving ground for new technologies for its Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). While not all of the features in Fedora end up in RHEL, it is a good way for people to test and use features before deploying them in a production environment or using them as part of RHEL, said Paul Frields, Red Hat's Fedora Project Leader. A combination of Red Hat and third-party developers contribute code to Fedora, and Frields manages the integration of Fedora features into RHEL.
New Fedora 11 features include one that will be useful for people working on desktop PCs that connect to Fedora servers in the back end, Frields said. A new automatic-content installation feature that leverages Fedora's PackageKit software-management system lets users automatically download a font, feature or even an application they need if they come across a file that needs an extension not found locally on a PC.
"If I e-mail you a document using OpenOffice.org on your new Fedora 11 system, you can download that attachment and PacketKit will install it for you," he said.
The feature works by detecting what a file needs and then accessing a software repository running in Fedora. The repository includes only free and open-source software.
Frields said this kind of feature differentiates an open-source system like Fedora from a proprietary OS like Windows because that model is meant to "sell you more software," not provide free extensions or fonts.
Fedora project developers also have added security for virtualized containers running on the OS by extending Fedora's security model, SELinux, Frields said. A new extension called Svirt provides access control for virtual guests, locking what processes the guests have access to, he said.
The feature works in the same way that SELinux provides a "valet key" for other processes in the system, only letting them touch other processes relevant to the task they're performing to prevent the spread of an attack on a specific process, Frields said. "So if something happens to a virtual guest, there is very little opportunity for an attacker to get access to the rest of the system," he said.
Fedora 11 also includes a new cross-compiler for Microsoft Windows applications that lets developers build applications for the Windows OS on the Fedora system. Developers can use whatever language they need -- usually C++, Frields said -- to build the application.
The current version of RHEL is 5.3, with 6.0 being the next major release of the OS that would incorporate Fedora features. Red Hat has not laid out a timeline or feature set for RHEL 6.0, Frields said. However, the company is always adding new functionality to incremental releases of RHEL.

Don't fret about Conficker: Here's what to do (AP)
SAN FRANCISCO - The Conficker worm, a nasty computer infection that has poisoned millions of PCs, will start ramping up its efforts Wednesday to use those machines for cybercrimes. It's unclear whether everyday PC users will even notice, but this is as good an excuse as any to make sure your computer is clean.
There are some easy ways to figure out whether a computer has the Conficker worm, and free tools available for getting rid of it.
One scary thing about Conficker is that it spreads without human involvement, moving from PC to PC by exploiting a security hole in Microsoft Corp.'s Windows operating system. The hole was fixed in October, but if your computer doesn't get automatic updates from Microsoft, you could be vulnerable.
Lots of computer worms disable antivirus software outright, which can be a tip-off that something is wrong. But Conficker doesn't do that. Instead, Conficker blocks infected PCs from accessing the antivirus vendors' and Microsoft's Web sites, so victims won't get automatic updates and can't download the Conficker removal tools that those companies have developed.
So see what Web sites you can visit. If you can navigate the Internet freely except for sites owned by Microsoft or antivirus vendors such as Symantec Corp., McAfee Inc. or F-Secure Corp., your PC might have Conficker or a similar bug.
Fixing the problem gets a little trickier.
The best remedy is to have a friend — whose computer is not infected — download a removal tool from Microsoft or one of the antivirus vendors. Then that person should e-mail the tool to you.
A list of the free Conficker removal programs is available on the Web site of the Conficker Working Group, an alliance of companies fighting the worm. The removal programs will take care of themselves, for the most part, scanning your system and purging the worm.
One thing to note: Conficker blocks infected machines from running removal tools with "Conficker" in the name. So users might have to change the name of the file (one you've saved the tool to your desktop, right-click on it and select "rename") before running it. The program's instructions will let you know if you need to do this. Many antivirus vendors have already changed the names in their removal tools — in some cases calling the file a misspelled variant of "Conficker" — to trick the worm into letting the program run.
Businesses have a bigger challenge, because Conficker has yet another method for evading detection. Once the worm is inside a machine, it applies its own version of the Microsoft patch that fixes the vulnerability Conficker exploited in the first place. So a business running a standard network scan, looking for unpatched machines, might come up empty-handed, even though some computers on the network are infected.
The scans need to take a deeper dive into the machines on the network — something an antivirus vendor's service should enable. For government agencies, contractors and operators of critical infrastructure, the Department of Homeland Security also has released a network-detection tool for Conficker.

BlackBerry maker launches application store (AP)
LAS VEGAS - Research in Motion Ltd., the maker of BlackBerry phones, is set to launch its one-stop shop for add-on applications on Wednesday.
While third-party programs have long been available for BlackBerrys from many sources, the Waterloo, Ontario-based company is now following in Apple Inc.'s footstep by creating and operating a central store. Every other major company in the "smart" phone industry is doing the same.
BlackBerry App World will be available for download from RIM's Web site starting at midday, said BlackBerry Co-Chief Executive Jim Balsillie. A thousand applications will be available at launch.
Unlike Apple's App Store, BlackBerry App World will share revenue with cell phone carriers and allow them to profile themselves by setting up their own stores-within-the-store, Balsillie said. It will also be possible for customers to charge application purchases to their cell phone bill, if their carrier chooses to enable that function.
Microsoft Corp. on Tuesday announced that carrier stores and billing will be part of its Windows Marketplace for Mobile, an applications store that will launch with new phones toward the end of the year.
Nokia Corp., the world's largest maker of cell phones, has several application stores but said earlier this year that it would combine them into one. Google Inc. runs an Android Marketplace of programs for the T-Mobile G1 phone, which will be joined by other phones running Google's Android software this year.
The launch of App World coincides with a speech by RIM's other co-CEO, Mike Lazaridis, at a cell phone trade show that starts in Las Vegas on Wednesday. He plans to profile the BlackBerry as a music-playing device, an important capability now that RIM is taking it from a business-oriented e-mail device to a mainstream smart phone competing with the iPhone.
But Balsillie said RIM has no plans to launch a music store of its own, like Apple and Nokia have.
"The key thing is to play the enabling card to all the music stores that are out there," Balsillie said. "It would make as much sense for me to create my music store as it would be me to create my own e-mail application to compete with Yahoo and Gmail," he said.

Dapatkan $285 dalam 3 hari. Siapa yang mau ikut ??
gratis lagi, gak perlu ngeluarin uang sepeserpun. prosesnya sama dg mlm. Saat kita login (daftar), kita sudah dapet $50. Uang tersebut bisa diambil jika kita udah ngumpulin uang $200. Bisa lewat cek, e-gold, atau paypal.. Kalau mau lewat cek harap mengisi formnya yang bener, terutama form alamat dan data pribadi. Setelah terdaftar, segera “sign in” ke situs ini lagi dengan “password” yg terkirim ke e-mail kamu..
Untuk bisa dapet $200 kita harus cari downline (pendaftar). Satu downline dihargai $15, jadi hanya perlu 10 downline saja untuk bisa mencapai $200. Nggak perlu teriak2 jualan barang karena pencarian downline dilakukan dg cara seperti yang aku lakukan saat ini, yaitu mengirimkan berita ini ke banyak mailing list yg banyak anggotanya, cuman ngundang mereka untuk “sign up” sbg downline kita. Cuma itu ?? Ya cuma itu yang perlu kita lakukan. Sangat mudah dan enak sekali bukan..??
Setelah kita ngundang2 mereka, kita tinggal asyik duduk2 di depan komputer untuk ngawasi pertambahan uang kita di situs tersebut.
Jika tertarik, nggak ada salahnya mencoba, toh nggak keluar uang sepeserpun. Kita hanya perlu daftar dan menunggu hasilnya dan 10 down line rasanya mudah jika kita referensikan ke teman, saudara, atau yahoo groups yang punya anggota banyak. yah, biar nggak nganggur apa salahnya kita nyoba. Dijamin kita gak perlu ngeluarin uang sepeserpun. Asyik khan?

6. LottoForever
Lottoforever, perusahaan dari India. Cek telah dikirimkan ke seluruh penjuru dunia lebih daripada 8 bulan sampai sekarang, semenjak bulan Juni 2000. Perhitungan pembayaran berdasarkan jumlah point yang anda dapat.
Cara kerja program ini adalah anda akan mendapatkan point tiap kali anda mengklik iklan yang ada di website mereka. Tiap iklan yang anda klik bervariasi nilai pointnya, mulai dari 4-18 point, tergantung dari keberuntungan anda. Anda juga bisa mendapatkan lebih banyak point dengan mensign-up program yang ada di website mereka. Mereka mengklaim membayar US$0.18c untuk tiap kali klik, tapi dari pembayaran bulan Februari 2001 yang lalu mereka hanya membayar US$0.04c, jumlah yang cukup besar dengan nilai tukar rupiah sekarang.
Untuk tiap 100 point yang anda dapatkan, anda akan mendapatkan US$3 cash, atau barang senilai US$5. ^_^ Uang Dollar! pernah mendapatkan kiriman t-shirt dari mereka ketika point saya berjumlah 200. Jika anda ingin menukar point dengan uang kontan, anda hanya bisa menukarnya sesudah anda mencapai minimun 6000 point.
Perhitungan pendapatan:
Nah, saya akan mengamsumsi anda menggunakan internet 2 kali seminggu, maka dalam sebulan anda menggunakan internet 10 kali dan anda ke website mereka mengklik iklan mereka seluruhnya.
1 bulan = 10 x 8 x 10 = 800 point (anda ke website mereka hanya sepuluh kali sebulan, dan jumlah iklan yang anda klik tiap kalinya 10 buah dengan point yang anda dapatkan rata-rata 8), maka anda akan mencapai minimun pembayaran dalam waktu lebih kurang 7 bulan, dan anda akan mendapatkan sekitar US$28,- dengan asumsi tiap klik iklan anda berharga US$0.04, padahal mereka menjanjikan tiap klik US$0.18 untuk bulan Maret 2001. Perhitungan ini sangat pesimis.
Perhitungan optimis: 10 x 2 x 30 x 8 =4800 point dalam sebulan (anda ke website mereka tiap hari selang waktu 12 jam dan mengklik iklan 10 buah tiap kunjungan dengan point yang anda dapatkan rata-rata 8), maka anda bisa mencapai minimun pembayaran 6000 point hanya dalam waktu lebih kurang 1 bulan 10 hari
MLM tiga tingkat dan anda mendapatkan 10% untuk level 1, 1% untuk level 2 dan 0.1% untuk level 3. Anda hanya mendapatkan point referall sesudah mereka mencapai minimun pembayaran dan memohon pembayaran.
Mereka juga mempunyai program lottere dimana anda bisa kaya mendadak memenangkan US$30.000
Perhatian Anda hanya bisa login tiap selang waktu 2 jam, jadi pastikan browser anda jangan sampai tertutup tiap kali mengklik iklan mereka. Dalam sehari anda hanya diperbolehkan mengklik iklan mereka kembali sesudah selang waktu 12 jam.
Tip Gunakan tombol "back" anda sesudah anda mengklik dan melihat iklan mereka selama 20 detik. Selama anda mengklik iklan dan menunggu iklannya loading, anda bisa ke website favorit anda. Jadinya sambil menelan minum air. Jangan lupa untuk ikutan program lottere mereka karena anda bisa kaya mendadak :) .Tunggu apa lagi?

a. ) ALASAN APA SEHINGGA sistem-GPTR ter-MASUK DALAM REKOMENDASI SAYA DI WEBSITE INI ?
- Alasan utama adalah , melalui sebuah "link" sedemikian sehingga saya mendapat "sedikit sekali tambahan bonus" dari anda semua yang mendaftar dengan refferal saya (sekitar $0.005-$0.xxx, tergantung kebijakan masingmasing website (anda tidak perlu mengeluarkan uang dari dompet anda untuk saya)) . Wajar bukan ? kalo pun anda mendaftar lewat orang lain atau dengan cara lain (anda secara otomatis dianggap refferal dari seseorang , bila refferal = kosong, maka bonus refferal otomatis akan di berikan ke orang lain / gold member), itu bukan masalah untuk saya, karena ada satu hal penting dari tulisan ini , yaitu Share-information. (bahwasanya ilmu itu baru akan berguna dan "berkah" jika diamalkan, tidak akan berkurang ilmu seseorang dengan mengamalkannya, melainkan akan semakin bertambah dan bertambah terus ilmu nya).
- Tidak menjanjikan yang muluk-muluk, karena setiap yang muluk-muluk patut dicurigai.. Jika anda ingin yang sedikit muluk, ada sarana lain yang mungkin berhasil (not explain here). ( ingat ! ! ! muluk-muluk = berkhayal = lama-lama STRESSS....)
- Anda bisa membandingkan nya dengan sistem lain, seperti MLM, valas/FOREX, survei-online, ataupun affiliate dengan bonus per-click bahkan CC-fraud sekalipun, DLL... # Sistem GPTR adalah yang termudah, ter-aman , setimpal dengan usaha, tidak ada minus, yang ada adalah bertambah, dan bertambah terus, dollar akan terkumpul sedikit demi sedikit, tidak pernah ada potensi hilang.
- Bukan penipuan, anda pasti dibayar hanya dengan membaca , berisi sebuah link ke pemasang iklan di website-GPTR dimana anda mendaftar/menjadi anggota. (selama anda mengikuti peraturan yang tertulis pada masing-masing website-GPTR tersebut), Jika link tersebut anda klik, pihak website-GPTR tersebut akan mendapatkan keuntungan dari kejadian tersebut, sehingga anda mendapatkan bagian bonus juga dari pihak website-GPTR tersebut.
- Bukan spam..
- FREE to join / sign - up (sama sekali tidak keluar biaya apa-apa (Rp.00.00,- ) , kecuali koneksi internet anda) , DIJAMIN.
- Bonus berupa uang (dalam US$), hanya dengan SIGN-UP / JOIN saja.. (ini wajar, karena untuk promosi, pemilik websitenya juga pemasang iklan / setiap penyedia layanan memberikan bonus, agar orang orang (pengguna internet) mendaftar ke website tsb , sekaligus untuk menaikkan traffic / rating website tsb).
- Tidak butuh refferal untuk mencairkan dana.. (karena bukan MLM-system ! !) (refferal hanya untuk kepentingan bonus sedikit sekali dollar )...
- Batas minimal pay-out yang rendah, (bervariasi, setiap penyedia layanan berbeda bonus paid per e-mail yang terbaca oleh anda dan batas minimum transfer dana nya, ) sehingga dengan CEPAT dan waktu yang relatif singkat, anda dapat mencapai batas minimal itu , sebagai syarat melakukan transfer dana ( US$ ) anda ke account E-gold / PAYPAL anda.
- Tidak membutuhkan kartu kredit untuk perantara menarik dana dari internet ke rekening BANK / credit-card, solusinya adalah E-gold !!.. (untuk paypal tetap membutuhkan kartu kredit untuk pendaftaran ke paypal).
- Prosesnya yang sangat mudah di ikuti (tinggal baca e-mail, klik link yang ada dalam e-mail). juga ada bonus pay-per-click + manual / auto surf (yang tersedia dalam layanan tiap website-GPTR,dll.).
- Semua orang bisa, asalkan dewasa, sehat mental, punya account E-gold / PAYPAL , e-mail, koneksi internet , dan minimal 1jari untuk mengklik mouse. dan minimal satu bola mata,utk melihat link-link dollar tersebut... ^_^
- LEGAL, tidak melanggar hukum.
- Tidak ada pihak yang dirugikan, pemilik website untung dengan adanya pemasang iklan / menjual produk mereka, anda juga untung, sesuai yang diperintahkan / tertulis dalam perjanjian masing-masing website-GPTR tersebut.
- Dan masih banyak alasan yang tidak terungkap dengan hanya tulisan..
b. ) SYARAT NYA ?
- Memiliki account E-gold ! ! ! , itu merupakan point utama sebelum mengikuti program ini .(tanpa kartu kredit + daftar E-gold =gratis) , atau PAYPAL (jika anda punya kartu kredit), untuk memindahkan uang anda dari website-GPTR. (jadi, sebaiknya sebelum anda mendaftar ke website-GPTR, anda harus mendaftar ke E-gold / PAYPAL terlebih dahulu.)
- Koneksi internet. ( warnet, telkomnet, kantor, wi-fi, gprs, dll )
- Mempunyai e-mail. (sebaiknya anda khususkan e-mail / buat e-mail baru (satu saja) untuk program ini, agar tidak campur aduk dengan e-mail dari teman/relasi/kantor/dll). (nb: sebaiknya anda pilih email gratis yang bisa POP3 / forwarding, juga yang berkapasitas besar.. ) misal, yahoo-mail
c. ) TIPS UTAMA dalam GPTR.
- Hindari pendaftaran 2-account pada suatu website dengan IP adress / komputer yang sama. Ini akan beresiko account anda akan di suspend / di delete oleh admin program.
- Gunakan opera/firefox, dll dalam bekerja/browsing (karena menurut saya, lebih nyaman daripada menggunakan IE=internet explorer bawaan windows). Saya selalu menggunakan opera .
- Join / mendaftar lebih dari satu website (misalkan: dalam 1 minggu anda mencapai earning/bonus US$0,5,-/website, tinggal dikalikan dengan jumlah website-GPTR yang anda join ,misalkan: 10 website berarti sekitar US$5,- /minggu, tentu tidak terlepas dari kerajinan anda membaca email anda + login.) - kalau 1 bulan , tinggal dikalikan saja...
- Pilih yang ada option E-gold / PAYPAL (disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan anda, biasanya orang lebih memilih ke / yang ada option E-gold, karena tidak perlu mempunyai kartu kredit + daftar = gratis) .
- Ada begitu banyak website untuk GPTR, tapi pilih yang menyediakan earning / bonus dalam bentuk uang ( US$ / EURO ) .
- Pilih yang batas minimal pembayaran ke anda (PAY-OUT / CASH-OUT) rendah diantara yang lainnya, sesuai dengan pilihan / kerajinan / kebutuhan anda. (misal : jika anda memilih website dengan batas PAY-OUT yang tinggi, maka akan semakin lama anda mencapai batas untuk mencairkan bonus , dan sebaliknya..) (nb: dengan keanggotaan gold / platinum member , beberapa website membebaskan anda dari PAY-OUT limit, seingga anda berhak mentransfer bonus anda berapa saja jumlahnya ke rekening anda ) .
- Dalam SEBULAN / setengah bulan minimal AKTIF / LOGIN, sekali , ke account masing-masing website-GPTR anda / hanya dengan mengklik link yang ada dalam e-mail anda .
- Anda bisa menanyakan tips2 lain ke saya via e-mail, tentunya setelah anda "terdaftar" ke salah satu website yang saya rekomendasikan diatas .

Last-minute Conficker survival guide
Tomorrow -- April 1 -- is D-Day for Conficker, as whatever nasty payload it's packing is currently set to activate. What happens come midnight is a mystery: Will it turn the millions of infected computers into spam-sending zombie robots? Or will it start capturing everything you type -- passwords, credit card numbers, etc. -- and send that information back to its masters?
No one knows, but we'll probably find out soon.
Or not. As Slate notes, Conficker is scheduled to go "live" on April 1, but whoever's controlling it could choose not to wreak havoc but instead do absolutely nothing, waiting for a time when there's less heat. They can do this because the way Conficker is designed is extremely clever: Rather than containing a list of specific, static instructions, Conficker reaches out to the web to receive updated marching orders via a huge list of websites it creates. Conficker.C -- the latest bad boy -- will start checking 50,000 different semi-randomly-generated sites a day looking for instructions, so there's no way to shut down all of them. If just one of those sites goes live with legitimate instructions, Conficker keeps on trucking.
Conficker's a nasty little worm that takes serious efforts to bypass your security defenses, but you aren't without some tools in your arsenal to protect yourself.
Your first step should be the tools you already have: Windows Update, to make sure your computer is fully patched, and your current antivirus software, to make sure anything that slips through the cracks is caught.
But if Conficker's already on your machine, it may bypass certain subsystems and updating Windows and your antivirus at this point may not work. If you are worried about anything being amiss -- try booting into Safe Mode, which Conficker prevents, to check -- you should run a specialized tool to get rid of Conficker.
Microsoft offers a web-based scanner (note that some users have reported it crashed their machines; I had no trouble with it), so you might try one of these downloadable options instead: Symantec's Conficker (aka Downadup) tool, Trend Micro's Cleanup Engine, or Malwarebytes. Conficker may prevent your machine from accessing any of these websites, so you may have to download these tools from a known non-infected computer if you need them. Follow the instructions given on each site to run them successfully. (Also note: None of these tools should harm your computer if you don't have Conficker.)
As a final safety note, all users -- whether they're worried about an infection or know for sure they're clean -- are also wise to make a full data backup today.
What won't work? Turning your PC off tonight and back on on April 2 will not protect you from the worm (sorry to the dozens of people who wrote me asking if this would do the trick). Temporarily disconnecting your computer from the web won't help if the malware is already on your machine -- it will simply activate once you connect again. Changing the date on your PC will likely have no helpful effect, either. And yes, Macs are immune this time out. Follow the above instructions to detect and remove the worm.

Program CASH FIESTA Website pendulang dollar
CASHFIESTA, apa ini?
Adalah situs pendulang dollar paling terkemuka saat ini. Hanya dengan memberikan sedikit tempat bagi banner mereka, browsing kita tidak terganggu dollar lancar masuk. benar-benar mantab karena kita tetap bisa fokus browsing sementara point pendulang dolar jalan terus. Bagaimana detail cara kerjanya? Mohon pelajari dengan cermat ya……
CASHFIESTA
It makes you money!
We’ll pay you to view and explore ads displayed on the FiestaBar.
(Kami akan membayarmu, atas iklan-iklan yang tampil di FiestaBar)
Seperti Televisi Setiap orang yg memasang iklan di TV akan membayar jasa periklanan pada pihak TV. Sama dengan Cashfiesta, yang membayar jasa kepada kita, atas pemasangan iklan pada Layar Monitor kita (ketika kita connect di internet). Besarnya jasa pengiklanan itu dihitung dengan POINT yang langsung dapat kita monitor di FiestaBar…
Langkah-langkah :
DAFTAR
Harus punya account di Cashfiesta, cara nya gampang, tinggal daftar aja di link ini :
http://www.cashfiesta.com/php/join.php?ref=masheriyo
Pendaftaran Gratis (free),
nb :
pada ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Your interest …………
JANGAN DIPILIH :
Friendship and Datting
Gambling
Gaming
alasannya :
Karena dikhawatirkan yg masuk, iklan2 dari situs porno dan judi. (tapi terserah anda saja!!!)
DOWNLOAD FiestaBar
Setelah Kita terdaftar, Kita download FiestaBar,
FiestaBar adalah media yg digunakan Cashfiesta memasang iklan pada layar monitor kita, Bentuknya seperti Banner, jadi ketika menjalankan FiestaBar maka 1/8 layar monitor kita akan digunakan sebagai media iklan (sambil kita bisa tetap browsing internet dengan lancar)
INSTAL FiestaBar
It’s not spyware: It can’t monitor your online or offline activities.
It’s not malware: It can’t take control of or damage your computer.
It’s not bundled with other software. All you get is the FiestaBar
Kita Instal FiestaBar pada Komputer kita, Nggak ada 1 menit sudah terinstal (tinggal klik next, next, next,… fisnish) Tip’s buat pengguna Warnet….
Copy Instaler FiestaBar pada Flasdisk atau media lain, jd setiap anda ganti computer (di warnet) tinggal di install lagi aja….(nggak ada 1 menit)
*
o Who I Want to Meet:
Kita Jalankan FiestaBar
Masukkan user dan password nya
Bila sudah ada Banner di Layar monitor, berarti Cashfiesta sudah berjalan dan mulai menghasilkan Dollars,,,,
Bila sudah muncul Iklan, arahkan saja Pointer ke FiestaBoy (Animasi Anak Kecil) di bagian kiri FiestaBar (pada awalnya dia hanya duduk/tdr)
Saya baca di penjelasannya, bahwa :
1.000 Point = 1 $
1.000 Point = 2 $ (hari libur)
Gratis Internetan :
Setelah saya rata2,
Point yg kita dapat selama 1 jam = 500 point,
Jadi tiap 2 jam kita dapat 1000 Point
(1000 Point = 1 $)
1$ = Rp. 9.000,-
Biaya Internet per jam rata2 Rp. 3.000,- (6.000 untuk 2 Jam)
Pendapatan Kita 2 Jam = 9.000 – 6.000 = 3.000
So Kita GRATIS INTERNETAN plus DAPAT UANG
Point kita akan terus bertambah hanya bila FiestaBoy berjalan,
Nb :
Point tidak bertambah bila FiestaBoy duduk/tidur
Caranya kita tinggal arahkan Pointer ke FiestaBoy (dia akan berjalan kembali)

Program Pendulang Dollar CPM
Dalam membuat blog, tentunya kita akan merasa gembira bila dapat menghasilkan uang dari internet. Sambil terus berusaha mengoptimalkan blog kita, biar tambah semangat yuk kita intip beberapa program yang dapat memberi kita dollar.
Ternyata ada banyak model CPM (Cost Per Million) alternatif maupun PPC (Pay Per Click) alternatif selain Google AdSense. Dalam CPM program-program iklan membayar blog kita berdasarkan pengunjung yang datang ke blog tersebut dan melihat iklan. Sedangkan dalam PPC pembayaran dilakukan berdasarkan berapa orang pengunjung yang meng-klik iklan tersebut. Program-program iklan tersebut antara lain (dikutip dari buku "Monetizing" Your Blogger Now! karangan Adam Pahlevi Baihaqi) :
1. AdsDaq
Untuk mengikuti program AdsDag ini tidak ada persyaratan khusus bahkan program advertising AdsGaq dapat digunakan oleh negara mana saja. Situs ini dapat dikunjungi di http://www.adsdaq.com/
2. Ad Dynamix
Untuk mengikuti program ini juga tidak ada persyaratan khusus. Tapi katanya Ad Dynamix tidak seserius AdsDaq karena itu custorew Ad Dynamix lebih sedikit daripada customer yang dimiliki AdsDaq. Situs ini dapat dilihat di http://www.addynamix.com/

4. Morning Falls
Persyaratannya 10,000 pageviews per month, jasa-jasa customer hebat, pengimplementasian mudah, dan laporan harian mudah dimengerti.

7. Casale Media
Persyaratan 10,000 unique visitors per month. Merupakan ad-publisher yang mengesankan, butuh pengalaman.

8. Tribal Fusion
Persyaratan 60,000 unique visitors per month. Merupakan ad-publisher yang berpengaruh kuat, bergantung pada niche blog kita. Tribal Fusion memberikan beribu-ribu situs yang memiliki kategori yang sama dengan kita. Situs ini dapat dikunjungi di http://www.tribalfusion.com/
9. Brightroll
Persyaratan 100,000 video views dan 250,000 pageviews per month. Sangat cocok untuk situs penyedia video. Persyaratan yang tinggi membuat Brightroll hanya dapat dimiliki publisher yang benar-benar advance. Situs ini dapat dikunjungi di http://www.brightroll.com/
10. Adtegrity

Women and Diabetes
Today, almost 21 million children and adults in the US have diabetes -- including 9.7 million women -- and almost one third of them do not know it. Diabetes can be especially hard on women. The burden of diabetes on women is unique, because the disease can affect both mothers and their unborn children. Diabetes can cause difficulties during pregnancy such as a miscarriage or a baby born with birth defects. Women with diabetes are also more likely to have a heart attack, and at a younger age, than women without diabetes.
Diabetes is the fifth-deadliest disease in the United States, and it has no cure. For women who do not currently have diabetes, pregnancy brings the risk of gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes develops in 2% to 5% of all pregnancies but disappears when a pregnancy is over. Women who have had gestational diabetes or have given birth to a baby weighting more than 9 pounds are at an increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes later in life.
The prevalence of diabetes is at least 2-4 times higher among African American, Hispanic/Latino, American Indian, and Asian/Pacific Islander women than among white women. The risk for diabetes also increases with age. Because of the increasing lifespan of women and the rapid growth of minority populations, the number of women in the United States at high risk for diabetes and its complications is increasing.
ADA's Women and Diabetes Workgroup
Because of the significant impact diabetes has on women, the American Diabetes Association created the Women and Diabetes Workgroup. Its mission is to represent, involve, and affect all women in our efforts to prevent and cure diabetes and improve the lives of people affected by this disease. This will be accomplished through gender and culturally tailored strategies to direct the Association's activities and through targeted research, information, and advocacy efforts.

Diabetes
Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life. The cause of diabetes continues to be a mystery, although both genetics and environmental factors such as obesity and lack of exercise appear to play roles.
There are 23.6 million children and adults in the United States, or 7.8% of the population, who have diabetes. While an estimated 17.9 million have been diagnosed with diabetes, unfortunately, 5.7 million people (or nearly one quarter) are unaware that they have the disease.
In order to determine whether or not a patient has pre-diabetes or diabetes, health care providers conduct a Fasting Plasma Glucose Test (FPG) or an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT). Either test can be used to diagnose pre-diabetes or diabetes. The American Diabetes Association recommends the FPG because it is easier, faster, and less expensive to perform.
With the FPG test, a fasting blood glucose level between 100 and 125 mg/dl signals pre-diabetes. A person with a fasting blood glucose level of 126 mg/dl or higher has diabetes.
In the OGTT test, a person's blood glucose level is measured after a fast and two hours after drinking a glucose-rich beverage. If the two-hour blood glucose level is between 140 and 199 mg/dl, the person tested has pre-diabetes. If the two-hour blood glucose level is at 200 mg/dl or higher, the person tested has diabetes.
Major Types of Diabetes
Type 1 diabetesResults from the body's failure to produce insulin, the hormone that "unlocks" the cells of the body, allowing glucose to enter and fuel them. It is estimated that 5-10% of Americans who are diagnosed with diabetes have type 1 diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes Results from insulin resistance (a condition in which the body fails to properly use insulin), combined with relative insulin deficiency. Most Americans who are diagnosed with diabetes have type 2 diabetes.
Gestational diabetes Immediately after pregnancy, 5% to 10% of women with gestational diabetes are found to have diabetes, usually, type 2.
Pre-diabetes Pre-diabetes is a condition that occurs when a person's blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough for a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. There are 57 million Americans who have pre-diabetes, in addition to the 23.6 million with diabetes.

Complementary and Alternative Medical Therapies for Diabetes
The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, part of the National Institutes of Health, defines complementary and alternative medicine as a "group of diverse medical and health care systems, practices, and products that are not presently considered to be part of conventional medicine." Complementary medicine is used with conventional therapy, whereas alternative medicine is used instead of conventional medicine.
Some people with diabetes use complementary or alternative therapies to treat diabetes. Although some of these therapies may be effective, others can be ineffective or even harmful. Patients who use complementary and alternative medicine need to let their health care providers know what they are doing.
Some complementary and alternative medicine therapies are discussed below. For more information, talk with your health care provider.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a procedure in which a practitioner inserts needles into designated points on the skin. Some scientists believe that acupuncture triggers the release of the body's natural painkillers. Acupuncture has been shown to offer relief from chronic pain. Acupuncture is sometimes used by people with neuropathy, the painful nerve damage of diabetes.
Biofeedback
Biofeedback is a technique that helps a person become more aware of and learn to deal with the body's response to pain. This alternative therapy emphasizes relaxation and stress-reduction techniques. Guided imagery is a relaxation technique that some professionals who use biofeedback do. With guided imagery, a person thinks of peaceful mental images, such as ocean waves. A person may also include the images of controlling or curing a chronic disease, such as diabetes. People using this technique believe their condition can be eased with these positive images.
Chromium
The benefit of added chromium for diabetes has been studied and debated for several years. Several studies report that chromium supplementation may improve diabetes control. Chromium is needed to make glucose tolerance factor, which helps insulin improve its action. Because of insufficient information on the use of chromium to treat diabetes, no recommendations for supplementation yet exist.
Ginseng
Several types of plants are referred to as ginseng but most studies of ginseng and diabetes have used American ginseng. Those studies have shown some glucose-lowering effects in fasting and post-prandial (after meal) blood glucose levels as well as in A1C levels (average blood glucose levels over a 3-month period). However, larger and more long-term studies are needed before general recommendations for use of ginseng can be made. Researchers also have determined that the amount of glucose-lowering compound in ginseng plants varies widely.
Magnesium
Although the relationship between magnesium and diabetes has been studied for decades, it is not yet fully understood. Studies suggest that a deficiency in magnesium may worsen blood glucose control in type 2 diabetes. Scientists believe that a deficiency of magnesium interrupts insulin secretion in the pancreas and increases insulin resistance in the body's tissues. Evidence suggests that a deficiency of magnesium may contribute to certain diabetes complications. A recent analysis showed that people with higher dietary intakes of magnesium (through consumption of whole grains, nuts, and green leafy vegetables) had a decreased risk of type 2 diabetes.
Vanadium
Vanadium is a compound found in tiny amounts in plants and animals. Early studies showed that vanadium normalized blood glucose levels in animals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. A recent study found that when people with diabetes were given vanadium, they developed a modest increase in insulin sensitivity and were able to decrease their insulin requirements. Currently researchers want to understand how vanadium works in the body, discover potential side effects, and establish safe dosages.

How to Manage a Small Business at Home
There are thousands of people working from home now, a lot of them running their own business . But what some people don't realize is that running your own business from home takes just as much effort, if not more, than working for someone else.InstructionsDifficulty: Moderately Challenging Things You’ll Need:• work space • quiet time to work • willpower Step1There are thousands of people working from home now, a lot of them running their own business. But what some people don't realize is that running your own business from home takes just as much effort, if not more, than working for someone else. Sure, they may think that running your own business is hard but some see the fact that you're your own boss and believe that it's all roses and rainbows.Sure, my business is casual and I don't have deadlines so I can sleep late and work when and if I want to. But having success with your business is different than just running it. Step2If you decide to work your own business from home, keep in mind a few key points. This is your business and you only have to answer to yourself. This means that if you fail, you must own up to your shortcomings. That can be a hard dose to swallow. So treat your business like it's one of the most important things you'll do. Set a schedule for yourself if you are not inclined enough to get up on time. Make sure that you make yourself a goal to follow. Let's say you run a commission type business. You want to set yourself a daily or weekly goal to reach. My goals are daily so I work until I reach that goal or "borrow" from the previous day if I exceeded it Step3Stay focused and make sure your work area is clean and uncluttered. Focus can be harder than it sounds. When you're at home, you're always distracted by friends or family calling, children or pets, deliveries, telemarketers, and yes...the television. A good guide is to use your breaks to do something around the house that you'd like to do. After sitting in front of the computer for hours on end, I like to get up and do one chore that needs doing such as putting the laundry up or loading the dishwasher. That gives me a chance to get away from the computer for a few minutes. In fact, if you're a home-workaholic like myself, take a day off during the week just for yourself. Watch a movie, visit a friend, go swimming even! You need that break to unwind and relax so you're not burnt out faster than a candle in a windstorm. Step4Put money aside. I'm the worst at this part but make sure you do have enough to tide you over in case of some kind of emergency. You can become sick; there can be a natural disaster that keeps you from working, etc. I live on the Gulf Coast so a tropical storm or hurricane can keep my electricity off for days and even weeks. I can't work with no electricity so it's good to plan for those times. You might even decide to take a vacation and will need to have money set aside for those times when none is coming in. Step5Advertise your business. Spend that extra time when you're not actually selling your product to advertise. I use strictly Internet advertising and business cards but both help tremendously in my sales. And remember, success is not an overnight thing. A lot of people get discouraged. What I encourage people to do is to keep their full time job at first and do their own business part time until it takes off. It took about a year for mine to make me enough money that I can solely work at home . Now I can take days off when I want, go on vacation when I want and not worry that I'll be broke. Thousands are doing it, you can too! Tips & Warnings• have willpower • advertise • plan ahead save extra money
Savoring win, Obama celebrates `major milestone'
Obama savors big legislative victory, calls stimulus passage 'major milestone' toward recovery • David Espo, AP Special Correspondent • Saturday February 14, 2009, 5:17 pm EST • Yahoo! Buzz • Print WASHINGTON (AP) -- Savoring his first big victory in Congress, President Barack Obama on Saturday celebrated the newly passed $787 billion economic stimulus bill as a "major milestone on our road to recovery."Speaking in his weekly radio and Internet address, Obama said, "I will sign this legislation into law shortly, and we'll begin making the immediate investments necessary to put people back to work doing the work America needs done."At the same time, he cautioned, "This historic step won't be the end of what we do to turn our economy around, but rather the beginning. The problems that led us into this crisis are deep and widespread, and our response must be equal to the task."The bill passed Congress on Friday on party-line votes, allowing Democratic leaders to deliver on their promise of clearing the legislation by mid-February. Obama could sign the measure as early as Monday."It will take time, and it will take effort, but working together, we will turn this crisis into opportunity and emerge from our painful present into a brighter future," the president said.Obama "now has a bill to sign that will create millions of good-paying jobs and help families and businesses stay afloat financially," said Sen. Max Baucus, a Montana Democrat who was a leading architect of the measure."It will shore up our schools and roads and bridges, and infuse cash into new sectors like green energy and technology that will sustain our economy for the long term," he added in a statement.Hours earlier, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell offered a different prediction for a bill he said was loaded with wasteful spending."A stimulus bill that was supposed to be timely, targeted and temporary is none of the above," he said in remarks on the Senate floor. "And this means Congress is about to approve a stimulus that's unlikely to have much stimulative effect."Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, in the GOP radio address Saturday, contended Democrats settled "on a random dollar amount in the neighborhood of $1 trillion and then set out to fill the bucket."Obama, who was spending the weekend in Chicago, planned to fly back to Washington on Monday. His schedule for the week ahead includes trips to Denver on Tuesday to talk about his economic agenda and a visit to Phoenix on Wednesday to present a plan to fight foreclosures.In a struggle lasting several weeks, lawmakers in the two political parties both emphasized they wanted to pass legislation to revitalize the economy and ease frozen credit markets. But the plan that the administration and its allies eventually came up drew the support of only three Republicans in Congress -- moderate Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine and Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania.Their support was critical, though, in helping the bill squeak through the Senate on a vote of 60-38, precisely the number needed for passage. Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown cast the 60th vote in favor in a nearly deserted Senate, hours after the roll call began. He arrived after a flight aboard a government plane from Ohio, where he was mourning the death of his mother earlier in the week.The House vote was 246-183.The legislation, among the costliest ever considered in Congress, provides billions of dollars to aid victims of the recession through unemployment benefits, food stamps, medical care, job retraining and more. Tens of billions are ticketed for the states to offset cuts they might otherwise have to make in aid to schools and local governments, and there is more than $48 billion for transportation projects such as road and bridge construction, mass transit and high-speed rail.Democrats said the bill's tax cuts would help 95 percent of all Americans, much of the relief in the form of a break of $400 for individuals and $800 for couples. At the insistence of the White House, people who do not earn enough money to owe income taxes are eligible, an attempt to offset the payroll taxes they pay.In a bow to political reality, lawmakers included $70 billion to shelter upper middle-class and wealthier taxpayers from an income tax increase that would otherwise hit them, a provision that the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said would do relatively little to create jobs.Also included were funds for two of Obama's initiatives, the expansion of computerized information technology in the health care industry and billions to create green jobs the administration says will begin reducing the country's dependence on foreign oil.Friday's events capped an early period of accomplishment for the Democrats, who won control of the White House and expanded their majorities in Congress in last fall's elections.Since taking office on Jan. 20, the president has signed legislation extending government-financed health care to millions of lower-income children who lack it, a bill that President George W. Bush twice vetoed. Obama also has placed his signature on a measure making it easier for workers to sue their employers for alleged job discrimination, effectively overturning a ruling by the Supreme Court's conservative majority.
