Subcutaneous vs. visceral fat: Which matters most when battling the bulge?

What is interesting about the process of weight management; there appears to be a scarcity of information on the differences between subcutaneous fat and visceral fat-and the tenuous relationship with the dieter’s goals. The aim of the article is to shed more light on both types of fat and perhaps, justify why it is important for the dieter to have a basic understanding of these two types of fat, as the dieter progresses on the path to weight loss.

Utilizing MS Outlook 2007 for small project related functions

Once the user is more acquainted with the To-Do Bar, the user will be exposed to the concept of project constraints, such as scope, time and budget. One of the primary challenges in the practice of project management; is understanding the relationship of these unique constraints as it relates to the successful outcome of the task or project. Finally, as the user increases the use of the To-Do Bar in everyday office tasks, the user also increases his or her knowledge in the basic principles of the practice of project management.

Attempting to understand the differences between histamine and leukotrienes in the treatment of allergic rhinitis

The primary difference between histamine and leukotriene and the treatment of allergic rhinitis, may be the identification and frequency of the symptoms that may take longer in comparison with the “immediate” symptoms. Hence, the jury is still in session on prescribing this type controlling agent for patients with allergic rhinitis. Medications like Singulair, Accolate and Zyflo (that have not been approved by the FDA for the treatment of allergic rhinitis) have appeared to increase in popularity with physicians when considering therapeutic modalities.

The conflict of interest of ‘In God We Trust’ and the Federal Reserve Note: How this relates to Pastor Wright’s commentary

If in fact money represents a false God, why would “Christians” or those that categorized themselves as religious, insist upon a currency bearing ‘In God We Trust’ realizing this conflict of interest? Perhaps, individuals like Rev. Watkinson believed this course of action would help the United States in 1861 escape the doldrums of its’ collective conscience. Unfortunately, the same form of “escapism” or guilt by association is quite pervasive (today) in White America. As this guilt continues to plague White America the media’s backlash against Rev. Wright’s commentary was evident.

Self Identity Concept and the Correlation with the African American Vote

The parallel made by Bill Clinton of why African Americans in general may be torn between the two candidates- may be a correct assumption, however, the answer may also partially lie in a psychological term called "self identity."

Can Nick Lachey's Pic Bring More National Attention to Gynecomastia and Obesity in Men?

In an environment where masculinity is exalted (gynecomastia.org) gynecomastia can bring feelings of embarrassment and humiliation. Furthermore, men may I have a difficult time discussing issues that relate to their gynecomastia. This observation is evidenced by the recent pictures taken by Star Magazine of Nick Lachey and his "man boobs."

Looking To Fish For Answers in Climate Change

Several phenological studies seem to suggest a correlation of overfishing and climate linked temperature shifts may have resulted in a change in migration patterns of several cold water over the past decade. Considering that 71% of the earth's surface is covered with water (Arnett, 2006) researchers have increased their attention to the earth's oceans and its' residents for clues.

U.S. Sentencing Commission Creates Stir with Proposed Crack Retroacticve Amendment: Part I

Crack sentences imposed in Fiscal Years 2003-2006, would be eligible for review under the new amendment by Sentencing Commission. The "conflict of interest" between the USDOJ and USSC involves how applicable standards would be applied, in light of the Supreme Court's ruling of United States v. Booker. According to the Office of the Assistant Attorney General with the Department of Justice, the issue revolves around how sentencing courts calculate the amended guidelines range. Furthermore, questions persists if the defendant should be present during this process. As a result, the Office of the Assistant Attorney General claims that undue hardship awaits sentencing courts, probation offices and its' affiliates, if 20,000 defendants were released. How legitimate is this claim and does it matter if previous sentencing guidelines were racially motivated?

The Changing Scenario in HIV/AIDS and the Need for Targeted Marketing for Older Americans

The US population is aging. Life expectancy has increased dramatically during the past century from 47 years for American born in 1900 to 77 years in 2001. Baby boomers will significantly contribute to this growth, as older Americans hitting the age 65 by 2011, will triple. Questions remain if the medical community has the wherewithal to adequately address the demographic needs of older Americans in the next decade which may lead to new challenges in health care delivery. Adding the complexity of HIV/AIDS: Older Americans may be confronted with a number of challenges that may potentially erode a fragile health care infrastructure.

Update on the Use of the Ryan White Modernization Act 2006 and Formerly Incarcerated Persons: Will Grantees Be Prepared

Earlier this month, I wrote an article titled “Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act: Does It Synchronize with the Needs of Urban America” which suggested that the needs of the incarcerated, particularly those affected by HIV, black and male are disenfranchised. “Urban America” within the context of this article is defined as the current state of public policy in urban areas. On September 28, 2007 the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and HIV/AIDS Bureau published an update (Policy Notice -07-04) “The Use of Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Funds for Transitional Social Support and Primary Care Services for Incarcerated Persons.” According to the notice, the updated policy reflects the changes in Title XXVI of the Public Health Service Act as amended by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program. What drove the changes in policy to expand care to incarcerated persons?
