Effects Medication Prescription Side

Each has its benefits and risks, indications, and side effects, and these medications are not interchangeable. More importantly, they aren't safe to use together.

One prescription sleep medication is zolpidem (Ambien). Ambien is a sedative drug that works quickly; but as with any sleeping pill, it needs to be used in a wise manner. It should be used in the smallest dose possible to get the intended effect (sleep), the person should be able to have 8 hours available for potential sleep when taking the drug, and until the effect of the drug is known on that individual person, the next day's activity should not include driving or using heavy machinery.

Robson and Conway keep United in Euro frame

Captain Robson this time the provider with his cross beating the Killie defence and allowing Craig Conway to head into an empty net. In one of three games that survived the bad weather, Craig Levein's team were strolling to a deserved win until they received a late fright. Jim Jefferies' side scored a consolation with nine minutes remaining when substitute Gary Wales fired home a pass from David Fernandez. Killie have now gone five games without a league win.

Subprime Bailout: Good Idea or 'Moral Hazard?'

Saving wounded financial institutions is good for the economy, some economists argue. But others warn against intervention, lest we fall prey to "moral hazard:" Bail out someone who has engaged in risky behavior and you're likely to encourage that behavior in the future.

Strokes -- Your questions answered

We're talking today about stroke in women with Dr. Curtis Hagenau.

QUESTION: What is stroke?
Dr. Hagenau: A stroke is an illness caused by a disruption of blood flow to the brain. This can be either a blockage in blood flow or a rupture of a blood vessel. A blood vessel that ruptures will typically cause headache, but most strokes are caused by a blockage in blood flow and are painless. Common symptoms of stroke include weakness or numbness on one side of the body, sudden inability to speak, severe dizziness or inability to walk. If you experience these symptoms, you should go to the emergency room for evaluation.

QUESTION: What causes stroke?
Dr. Hagenau: The most common cause of stroke is the narrowing of blood vessels due to atherosclerosis. This is a cholesterol buildup in the arteries that occludes the blood flow.

Giants Are All Talk, No Action

As a transplanted Canadian, I speak from experience when telling you that you should be thrilled at the chance to get Rios. He is about to explode. He's got the speed to swipe 25-35 bags (the jays put the stop sign on everyone). He is without a doubt, one of the five best defensive RF in baseball, and has been terrific in CF (his natural position) whenever he has played there. He is an instinctive baserunnner, he has improving plate discipline, and legit power. You guys are such unqualified homers, talking about Cain and Lincecum as if they are already carving their busts in Cooperstown. They are both very intriguing young pitchers with upside, no doubt, but ease up on the rhetoric. I have watched a ton of games of both teams, and this looks like a trade that could help both teams. I have very baseball-knowledgeable friends in Toronto that can't believe the Jays are contemplating giving up Rios (a 2-time allstar) in this trade for a unproven pitcher with a troubling delivery.

Apple Doesn't Want Your Cash (Credit Only, Please)

Apple Doesn't Want Your Cash (Credit Only, Please) from the cash-not-wanted-here dept

With reports of huge numbers of iPhones being purchased to be unlocked and resold, it looks like Apple trying to clamp down a bit on the process by changing the rules for purchasers: requiring credit cards for purchases and limiting order to only 2 iPhones at a time. This is similar to what the original "launch day" limitations were. The credit cards let Apple track purchases more carefully (though, you have to wonder what good that really does) and the two person limit makes life harder for unlocker/resellers -- but also makes it more likely that parents will be able to pick up iPhones for their kids this holiday season. As for whether or not it's legal to turn down someone handing over the requisite amount of cash, we'll just let the US Treasury Department explain that it's perfectly fine.

Ginger's zing helps meals, fights nausea

I like to use the spice in Asian dishes, marinades, tea blends, fruit compotes and, of course, gingerbread.

Scientists have found the pungent-flavored spice has medicinal purposes as well. Here's what ginger can do for your cooking and your health.

Tuberous stems prized

A native of tropical Asia, ginger has been widely cultivated since very early times.

The irregularly shaped underground stems, or rhizomes, are the part we use for food. The chunks sold fresh in grocery stores are popularly called "ginger root."

After a process that involves washing, peeling and drying, the rhizomes are also made into candied ginger and ground ginger.

The spice has been used to flavor many different foods in different lands, and is an important ingredient in curry powder.

Why the Debt Crisis Is Now the Greatest Threat to the American ...

The Department of Veterans Affairs currently gets at least $75.7 billion, 50% of which goes for the long-term care of the grievously injured among the at least 28,870 soldiers so far wounded in Iraq and another 1,708 in Afghanistan. The amount is universally derided as inadequate. Another $46.4 billion goes to the Department of Homeland Security.

Missing as well from this compilation is $1.9 billion to the Department of Justice for the paramilitary activities of the FBI; $38.5 billion to the Department of the Treasury for the Military Retirement Fund; $7.6 billion for the military-related activities of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration; and well over $200 billion in interest for past debt-financed defense outlays. This brings U.S. spending for its military establishment during the current fiscal year (2008), conservatively calculated, to at least $1.1 trillion.
