Misuse of over-the-counter pain medication is potential health threat

ScienceDaily (May 30, 2012) ? A significant number of adults are at risk of unintentionally overdosing on over-the-counter (OTC) pain medication, according to a new study in the US by Dr. Michael Wolf, from Northwestern University in Chicago, and his colleagues. Their work, looking at the prevalence and potential misuse of pain medication containing the active ingredient acetaminophen as well as the likelihood of overdosing, appears online in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, published by Springer.

Many adults in the US regularly use OTC pain medication containing the active ingredient acetaminophen, the most commonly used OTC pain medication in the US. They take it either on its own or in combination with other drugs, which may also contain acetaminophen. The ease of access to OTC drugs presents a challenge to patient safety as many individuals may lack the necessary health literacy skills to self-administer these medicines appropriately. Indeed, individuals make independent decisions that match an OTC product to a self-diagnosed symptom or condition. Worryingly, acetaminophen overdose is the leading cause of acute liver failure.

Wolf and colleagues interviewed 500 adult patients receiving care at outpatient general medicine clinics in Atlanta and Chicago between September 2009 and March 2011. Over half the patients reported some acetaminophen use and 19 percent were 'heavy users' i.e. they had taken it every day, or at least a couple of times a week, during the previous six months.

The researchers tested whether these patients understood the recommended dosage and were able to self-administer OTC acetaminophen appropriately. Firstly, could they work out the proper dosing of a single OTC medication over a 24-hour period? Secondly, what was the risk of patients 'double-dipping', or simultaneously taking two acetaminophen-containing products, and thereby exceeding the recommended dose?

To assess proper dosing, the participants were given five OTC drug bottles and, for each one, were asked to imagine that they took the first dose at time X, and wanted to take the maximum dose of this medicine in one day. They were then asked to show the researcher how many pills and at which times they would need to take them for a full 24-hour day.

To assess 'double-dipping', the patients were told to imagine they were taking a maximum dose of a primary OTC drug and asked whether it would be safe to also take a second medicine with the primary medicine -- both of which contained acetaminophen.

Wolf and team found that nearly a quarter of the participants were at risk of overdosing on pain medication using a single OTC acetaminophen product, by exceeding the dose of four grams in a 24-hour period; 5 percent made serious errors by dosing out more than six grams. In addition, nearly half were at risk of overdosing by 'double-dipping' with two acetaminophen containing products.

The authors conclude: "Our findings suggest that many consumers do not recognize or differentiate the active ingredient in OTC pain medicines, nor do they necessarily closely adhere to package or label instructions. Given the prevalence of the problem, risk of significant adverse effects, and lack of a learned intermediary i.e. a physician to guide decision making and counsel consumers on proper use, we believe this to be a serious public health threat requiring urgent attention."

Devan Sipher: My First Divorce

I found out on New Year's eve. In an email. Just a couple of sentences to tell me that the "fairy tale" was over. As was the marriage. I felt completely sideswiped.

But after five years of writing the Vows wedding column at The New York Times, it was inevitable that one of the couples would eventually get divorced.

I found myself taking the news to heart. I remembered the wedding vividly -- the buoyant bride with a radiant expression on her flushed face, the earnest guitar-playing bridegroom eager to start a family. I know the divorce statistics in the U.S. but statistics are cold comfort when a relationship ends. I had so many questions: When did the feelings change? Or were they never real to being with?

Though I'm a single man who has yet to wed, I consider a marriage vow to be a commitment "till death do us part" (which might explain why I'm still single). I felt personally disappointed, as if in selecting people for the Vows column I was also determining which people would sustain their relationship. Finding out this couple's marriage had failed made me feel like I had also failed, and it made me question if I had been accurate in my "reporting" of their love.

At the Times, it makes no difference if you're writing an article about a wedding or a Page One story, you're expected to do thorough investigating and rigorous fact-checking. But can love be fact-checked?

I often spend 80 hours working on a wedding column. I do lengthy interviews with brides and bridegrooms, their friends and family and even their officiants. I'm always on the lookout for inconsistencies or embellishments. Stories that are too good to be true usually are, and when I hear someone describe their mate as "perfect," it's a red flag. "Perfect" is not an option in politics or marriage. People with strong, healthy relationships acknowledge that. I steer clear of the others.

Admittedly, I favor stories of grand passion, and I gravitate toward couples who overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles to be together. Not everyone is fortunate enough to find a "big love." But these are the people who do. Their weddings give me hope. What did their divorce give me?

If I couldn't accurately identify true love when I was in the role of objective observer, I doubted my ability to recognize it if and when I found it for myself. As a journalist, my job is knowing when people are lying to me -- and when people are lying to themselves. I didn't understand how I could have missed the signs. Unless I didn't.

Maybe I preferred to believe I got the story wrong, because the alternative was to acknowledge something even worse: Love that comes only once in a lifetime doesn't always last a lifetime.
It violates the premise of every romantic comedy ever written. Na?ve as it may seem, I sincerely believed that love can conquer all (and maybe that's why I'm still single). I'm sadder but wiser now, and the next wedding will not be the same as the ones that came before. For better and for worse.

About Cheap Air Tickets | Best Travel Insurance

Increasingly tight budgets are forcing travelers to look for cheap air tickets. This is true for individuals who travel for leisure and want to spend less on tickets so they have cash once they reach their destination. Businesses that routinely pay for employees to travel also need to pay less for airfare. Corporate budgets have been reduced in recent years because of the economy. Fortunately, there are several steps you can take to make sure you save money on your airline tickets.

Plan Ahead

Always try to this. Of course there will be situations when you must make last minute arrangements. Otherwise, you should be able to buy tickets in advance so you get great prices. Try to fly on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays whenever possible. Even if you get to your destination early, you will have saved significant money. For most people it is a worthwhile tradeoff ? for a little of your time, you save a lot of money.

Monitor Airfares

There are two ways to do this. You can sign up for electronic newsletters or mobile alerts so you know when new offers, coupons, and discounts are available for your review. In particular, you want to be able to tell when prices increase or decrease so you can plan accordingly. Airlines offer this information directly or, if you prefer, you can sign-up for this service through any site that provides ticket information from multiple airlines.

Do Not Wait

As soon as you find a good deal, take it. It is not necessary to wait and see if the next deal is better. There will always be a better deal. The problem is at some point prices of cheap air tickets will increase again and you may miss your opportunity to save money. It is not always obvious when airlines will increase airfare. The only time you should wait is if you decide to see if you can get a last-minute deal.

Look for Refunds

If you have already purchased your ticket but you notice the final price of comparable cheap air tickets on your flight is much lower, contact the airline and ask for a refund of the difference. Most will honor your request. You may have to do this in person at the ticket counter. You can call the airline directly to find out what their refund policy is or you can check their website for information.

Why Choose A Professional IT Outsourcing Company?

If you are looking for an excellent medium to help your business grow like never before, choosing an IT outsourcing company would be excellent choice for you. This is not just because outsourcing services could help you divert human as well as financial resources to concentrate on core activities of the business, but also because selecting a reputed and experienced IT outsourcing company would help you refocus on business branding and activities like never before.

One of the biggest factors why outsourcing has been admired by one and all is because it helps in availing cheap manpower without compromising on the quality of the final output. If that was not all, outsourcing services would also help you concentrate on critical business processes and shift specific responsibilities to the outsourced vendor.

If that was not all, there is no need to hire individuals in-house that helps in saving recruitment costs.

Furthermore, Outsourcing Services can even let you bring improved management skills to your business to help it redefine growth and expansion plans. They can even be helpful to satisfy seasonal or cyclical demands and avoiding periods of high employee turnover that add inconsistency and uncertainty to operations of the business. In addition to these advantages, outsourcing solutions could even help your business benefit from quick implementation of new initiatives and strategies besides improved levels of operational stability, and broader business benefits. The best part is that your business has full control over its processes (even those that are outsourced) and you are under no obligation to keep manpower on when they are not required.

Moreover, outsourcing can even help your business delegate back office operations that are often characterised by high operational costs. The best part is that these specialised tasks can be handled by industry experts at nominal costs without compromising on quality of the final results. The list of benefits associated with outsourcing services does not end here. The productivity and efficiency of your business are bound to increase when goals of your business are aligned with outsourcing deliverables after careful planning and execution. These services could even be useful to reduce turnaround time to a considerable extent and help in improving the levels of customer satisfaction like never before.

To choose the best IT outsourcing company, you just need to identify some of the best service providers and take quality time out to access their advantages and limitations. The point is that your business should harness the best pool of talent and resources while delegating critical business processes to a service provider so that it can always be assured of quality services. It is highly recommended that you avoid emphasising heavily on price and look for service providers capable of performing the expected tasks according to expectations. Last but not the least, you should always make it a point to communicate all requirements of the projects, costs, and timelines to the service provider before asking for a quote and hiring its services.

An Android User's Guide To Euro 2012

The English domestic football season may have already come to a dramatic close with the red and blue sides of Manchester fighting it out for the Premier League title, but there's no time to rest with Euro 2012 just around the corner.

The competition kicks off on June 8th, with the first match between host nation Poland and Greece kicking off at 5pm BST (12pm EST), and with your Android device in toe, you can make sure that you don't miss a single thing that happens between then and the final.

This guide is geared towards people living in either the UK or the USA, although there are some apps listed that can be used regardless of where you live.

Find A Pub

If you aren't travelling to Poland or Ukraine to watch the games, then you'll definitely want to soak up a bit of atmosphere at the pub. You can guarantee that most bars and pubs in England will be showing every game live, but if you aren't sure whether your local will be opening its doors to hoards of football fans, then you might want to use the 3D pub finder that's built into Sky's Score Centre app. The free app has a list of every pub in the UK that shows games in 3D, and if you don't want to contend with those annoying glasses when you're watching a game, almost all of those venues will be showing the match in standard 2D as well.

If you're in the US, you could use Sport Bar Finder by DIRECTV, but that limits your options to bars with DIRECTV installed. Alternatively, you could use Google Places or Yelp to find places to watch the game, as both of these apps will have a wide range of bars listed.

SkySports Live Football SC

Watch The Games On Your Phone

If you want to catch a game that's being played but you can't make it to a bar or get home, then you can always watch the game right on your phone. In the UK, the BBC will be showing all of the matches live during the tournament alongside ITV, which has most games, excluding the semi-finals.

Using the BBC iPlayer app, you will be able to watch any BBC channel live, so as long as you have a data connection then you can still watch the game on your phone or tablet. Just launch the app and select 'Live TV' from the menu, and you will be able to stream over Wi-Fi or your 3G connection. If you're not on an unlimited data plan,it might be a good idea to keep an eye on your usage.

For those of you in the US, all of the games during Euro 2012 will be shown live on ESPN in both English and Spanish. If you have access to the content on the WatchESPN app, then you will be able to watch everything live on your Android device through there.

Keep Up With All The News

There are countless news services which will all be covering the action during Euro 2012, but some will be inevitably better than others. If you want the official word on the action, then the UEFA Euro 2012 app is where you'll want to be. The app will provide you with news about all of the teams in the competition, although you can select your favorite nation and have the content tailored towards your choice. As well as providing news about the competition, the app will also help you to keep track of the matches which are taking place and when they're happening.

If you're not a fan of UEFA, then there are many other apps that you can choose from. Sky Sports News is tough to beat when it comes to reliable football news, and you can filter out news from other sports so that you only see what you're interested in. The news here will be more tailored towards the England team though, so if you're more interested in another nation then you may want to look elsewhere.

Official UEFA EURO 2012 app

Download The Calendar

Of course, it's not much use using these apps if you don't know when any of the games are taking place. If you want to know the kick off times of each match in the competition, then you'll definitely want to subscribe to a Euro 2012 calendar and import it into your favorite calendar service. I'm currently using this one, as all of the information is accurate and it will be updated as the competition progresses, but a quick Google search will find you alternatives if it becomes unavailable for some reason.

Padres' offense busts out in win vs. Mets

By HOWIE RUMBERG

AP Sports Writer

Associated Press Sports

updated 12:49 a.m. ET May 25, 2012

NEW YORK (AP) - Padres manager Bud Black tried spinning a tale about extra batting practice in the cages during the rain delay to explain why his offense came alive when the game resumed.

He couldn't do it. The swings that counted were just too good.

Will Venable hit a pair of RBI doubles and Cameron Maybin had two run-scoring singles as San Diego started hitting the moment the tarp came off and beat the New York Mets 11-5 on Thursday night.

"Started raking in the cage and we carried it over out on the field," Black said before giving long pause, followed by a deadpan "no," while trying to contain a smile.

"I thought all night long the guys had really good at-bats," he said after the laughter died down. That was probably, obviously, the best offensive night we had all year."

Jesus Guzman hit a two-run double in a four-run third to help the Padres rebound from being swept in a three-game series in St. Louis. Everth Cabrera had a career-high four hits and Eric Stults (1-0) pitched five innings to earn his first win with San Diego.

Fielding a lineup in which the 6-7-8 batters all had averages under .200, the Padres set a season-high for runs and had their best effort for hits with 18. Cabrera was just 2 for 21 coming in. Nick Hundley homered in the ninth to give every position player at least one hit.

"It was very encouraging just to see up and down the lineup to see the quality of at-bats the guys had," Hundley said. Watching guys like Will and Cabby and Chase just battle and grind. ... It's starting to come a little bit."

Both starters wearing No. 53 returned to the mound following a delay of 1 hour, 8 minutes after the second inning. Stults adjusted better than Jeremy Hefner (0-2), shutting down the Mets for three more innings.

Stults might have gone longer but he was hit by a comebacker on his triceps on the final out of the fourth inning and Black said that it started bothering Stults on breaking pitches after the fifth.

"I think it should be OK," Stults said.

David Wright hit a two-run homer off Matt Palmer in the sixth and he finished 3 for 5 to raise his average to .405 in the first game of the Mets' season-long 11-game homestand.

"He's in a zone like no other," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "His whole approach, I mean, you watch him get ready before a game starts. He's got a routine he sticks with. He believes in it and he gets himself ready to play."

Hefner was making his first big league start - against the team that drafted and signed him in 2007, when New York's current GM Sandy Alderson was running the Padres. Hefner twice chose college over signing with the Mets after they picked him in the 2004 and `05 drafts.

Alderson got Hefner back this winter off the waiver wire from Pittsburgh, which had the right-hander for a month.

Pitching in the rain from the start, Hefner gave up a hit in two innings and the Mets led 1-0 on an unearned run when the rain picked up and the tarp came out. Play resumed 1 hour, 8 minutes later.

"I hadn't experienced that in my career and so I didn't really have anything to base it off of. I felt fine," Hefner said about pitching after the long delay. "After the second inning, from then on, I didn't execute my pitches."

He promptly gave up a double down the third base line to Cabrera to restart the game. After Stults grounded out, the Padres scored four times on four straight hits.

Venable slapped an opposite-field RBI double just inside third base, Maybin had a run-scoring single, Yonder Alonso doubled and Guzman drove in two runs with a double for a 4-1 lead.

Venable and Maybin had RBI hits with two outs in fourth, ending Hefner's night. Venable finished with two hits a night after coming up a triple shy of the cycle.

Hefner gave up nine hits and six runs.

Stults gave up one hit after the wait. Overall, he allowed an unearned run and four hits in five innings. He was claimed off waivers by the Padres from the Chicago White Sox on May 17.

With 13 players on the disabled list, including starters Tim Stauffer, Cory Luebke and Dustin Moseley, Stults has been a nice addition for San Diego. In his first start, he allowed two runs and four hits in 6 2-3 innings.

With Stults out, the Mets tried mounting a rally. Wright's homer to straightaway center field cut the lead to 6-3 and Scott Hairston followed with a single. But Brad Brach relieved and struck out the side.

The Mets scored a run in the second on Hundley's throwing error.

Ronny Cedeno batted leadoff for the fifth time in his eight-year career. He went 0 for 5.

NOTES: Mets manager Terry Collins said struggling 1B Ike Davis would not be sent to the minors to work on his swing. He said he'd be more selective in the matchups he chooses for Davis, who entered Thursday's game hitting .159 (23 for 145). Davis had a two-run pinch-hit single in the eighth... About 10 of Alonso's teammates watched his appearances on the MLB channel before batting practice. They gave him a round of applause when the interview was over. ... NYPD Officer Kevin Brennan, who was shot in the head Jan. 31, threw out the ceremonial first pitch.

What To Know When Entering The Commercial Real Estate Market ...

Size is an extremely important variable when searching for the perfect commercial property. Since you do not want to have to purchase a different property anytime soon, it is important to invest in something that allows your business space to get bigger.

Make sure you know exactly what requirements you need to satisfy before you begin your search for commercial real estate. Write down the things you like about the property, important features are office numbers, how many conference rooms, restrooms, and how big it is.

Remember that your relationship to the investors or lenders plays an important role. Some properties are sold from one person to the other without being listed. Having a good network is the best way to find the best deals.

You need to know the details of emergency maintenance procedures. Talk to the landlord about who does emergency repairs for your building or office. Be aware of the response time of emergency personnel, and be sure to have their contact information handy. Use any information you can get from your landlord so contingencies are ready for the times your normal business operations are interrupted so you can safeguard your customer service and your reputation.

Take time to learn what the firm considers to be good results. Ask how they will make determinations regarding space requirements, property selection and other matters that are important to you. Knowing these things prior to signing on with them will be beneficial.

The seller is required to disclose any information they know regarding any possible environmental hazards. A large concern is when you currently own a property that has issues with hazardous waste. You need to fix these sorts of issues on your property, even if you did not cause them.

Whether you want to get into real estate or you?ve been into it for a while, visit some websites that will help you find out how to invest in commercial real estate. You can?t be too informed about the subject, so try to always be seeking out new sources of knowledge.

Commercial properties can be difficult to find, regardless of how experienced you are. For that reason articles like this exist to make it a bit easier when thinking about buying commercial property.

Sim Sadler is a real estate expert and has been buying and selling commercial real estate for over 25 years, through every market you can imagine.

Robert Reich: Obama Has to Explain Why Fairness Is Essential to Growth (and Why Some Democrats Have to Stop Believing Otherwise)

The Cory Booker imbroglio has ignited a silly but potentially pernicious debate in the Democratic Party between so-called "pro-growth centrists" who want the president to focus on how well he's done getting the economy back on its feet after the Bush administration almost knocked it out, and "pro-fairness populists" who want him to focus on the nation's widening inequality and Wall Street's (and Romney's) continuing role in generating profits for a few at the expense of almost everyone else.

According to the National Journal's Josh Kraushaar, for example:

Conversations with liberal activists and labor officials reveal an unmistakable hostility toward the pro-business, free-trade, free-market philosophy that was in vogue during the second half of the Clinton administration..... Moderate Democratic groups and officials, meanwhile, privately fret about the party's leftward drift and the Obama campaign's embrace of an aggressively populist message... [T]hey wish the administration's focus was on growth over fairness.

This is pure bunk -- or should be.

Fairness isn't inconsistent with growth; it's essential to it. The only way the economy can grow and create more jobs is if prosperity is more widely shared.

The key reason why the recovery is so anemic is that so much income and wealth are now concentrated at the top is America's the vast middle class no longer has the purchasing power necessary to boost the economy.

The richest 1 percent of Americans save about half their incomes, while most of the rest of us save between 6 and 10 percent. That shouldn't be surprising. Being rich means you already have most of what you want and need. That second yacht isn't nearly as exciting as was the first.

It follows that when, as now, the top 1 percent rakes in more than 20 percent of total income -- at least twice the share it had 30 years ago -- there's insufficient demand for all the goods and services the economy is capable of producing at or near full employment. And without demand, the economy doesn't grow or generate nearly enough jobs.

Wall Street is part of the problem because it's responsible for so much of the concentration of income and wealth at the very top -- and for much of the distress still felt in the rest of the economy after the Street nearly melted down in 2008.

The Street has turned a significant part of the economy into a giant casino involving mammoth bets with other peoples' money. When the bets go well, the rich owners of the casino (Wall Street executives, traders, hedge-fund managers, private-equity managers) become even richer. When the bets go sour, the rest of us bear the costs.

The casino also requires continuous transfers of wealth from ordinary taxpayers. Some are built into the tax code. One is the preference of debt over equity (interest on debt is tax deductible), which awards Wall Street banks like JPMorgan for risky lending and awards private-equity firms like Bain Capital for piling debt on the firms it buys.

Another is the "carried interest" rule that, absurdly, allows private-equity managers (like Mitt Romney) to treat their income as capital gains even when they haven't risked any of their money.

The biggest of all is the invisible guarantee that if the biggest banks get into trouble, taxpayers will bail them out. This subsidy reduces the big banks' cost of capital relative to other banks and fuels even more risky lending.

None of this is fair. It's also bad for economic growth and jobs -- as we've so painfully witnessed.

Translated into presidential politics, all this means the president should be talking about fairness and growth and jobs, and explaining why we can't have the latter without the former.

It also means he should be attacking Mitt Romney because Romney is part of the system of casino capitalism that has harmed America and held back growth -- and Romney wants even less regulation of Wall Street (he's vowed to repeal Dodd-Frank).

And because the budget Romney has put forth would gut public services vital to the middle class and poor, while cutting taxes on the rich and on corporations even more than they've already been cut.

In other words, Romney epitomizes the unfairness of the American economy in this new Gilded Age. For that same reason, Romney is the quintessence of an economic approach shown to be anti-growth and anti-jobs.

ROBERT B. REICH, Chancellor's Professor of Public Policy at the University of California at Berkeley, was Secretary of Labor in the Clinton administration. Time Magazine named him one of the ten most effective cabinet secretaries of the last century. He has written thirteen books, including the best sellers "Aftershock" and "The Work of Nations." His latest is an e-book, "Beyond Outrage." He is also a founding editor of the American Prospect magazine and chairman of Common Cause.
