Health Info Health Information Healthwise Start a new search Drug Guide Reuters Health News Topic: Should I treat inherited hair loss with medication? Introduction This information will help you understand your choices, whether you share in the decision-making process or rely on your doctor's recommendation. This Decision Point is for people with inherited hair loss ( androgenetic alopecia ) only. If your hair loss has another cause, talk with your hair professional about your treatment choices. Key points in making your decision Everyone has some hair loss every day. However, for some, hair loss becomes excessive, and treatment with medications may slow hair loss and help to regrow hair. Consider the following when making your decision: You may not get as much hair growth as youexpect. You must take the medications over the long term or anyregrown hair will fall out. Your insurance probably will not coverthe medication, and the medications can be expensive. You may haveside effects not yet known from taking these medications long-term. It may bevery dangerous to take these medications if you are pregnant or if you havecertain health conditions, such as heart problems. You may feelthat the possibility of regrowing hair and feeling better about your appearanceis more important than the limitations of hair loss treatment. Medical Information What medications are available to treat inherited hair loss? Medication for treating inherited hair loss slows thinning of the hair and increases coverage of the scalp by growing new hair and enlarging existing hairs. Currently, medications used to treat hair loss caused by heredity include: Minoxidil . Minoxidil (Rogaine) isavailable without a prescription and is sprayed on and/or rubbed into the scalptwice a day. Finasteride . Finasteride (Propecia),which is available by prescription, is a pill taken once daily. Finasteride hasnot been proven effective in women and is not approved for women by the U.S.Food and Drug Administration (FDA). 1 Finasterideshould never be taken or handled by women who are or may become pregnant,because it can cause birth defects. With these medications, hair coverage tends to improve on the top of the head but not on the forehead area. How effective are these medications in treating inherited hair loss? The effectiveness of finasteride or minoxidil depends on your age and the location of the hair loss. These medications do not work for everyone, and you should not expect to regrow a full head of hair. These medications slow thinning of the hair and increase coverage of the scalp by growing new hair and enlarging existing hairs. However, they need to be taken every day. If you stop taking them, any hair that has grown in will gradually be lost, and within 6 to 12 months your scalp will most likely appear the same as before treatment. Both medications must be taken daily. It may take 6 months of treatment before you see results. Minoxidil Minoxidil slows hair loss and grows new hair. In men, the 5% solution appears to be more effective than the 2% solution, but it costs more and may have more side effects. 2 Minoxidil seems to work best on people younger than 30 years of age who have been losing hair for fewer than 5 years. 3 Finasteride Finasteride is recognized as a successful therapy for inherited hair loss for men. Research reports that it slows hair loss on the scalp and helps regrow hair. 3 One study showed that finasteride may potentially improve hair loss on the forehead, which is usually less likely to respond to treatment than hair loss on the top of the head. 4 However, bald spots will not be completely covered, and visible results may take from a few months to a year. Finasteride has not been proven effective in women and is not approved for women by the FDA. 1 What are the side effects of these medications? Side effects of minoxidil include skin irritation and an itchy scalp. In women, minoxidil may cause facial hair growth, especially on the forehead and cheeks. If you have heart problems, ask your health professional about using this medication. Finasteride should not be taken or handled by women who are or may become pregnant, because it can cause birth defects. Possible side effects in men include sexual problems, such as difficulty getting an erection. What are the disadvantages of taking these medications? The disadvantages of taking these medications for hair loss include: The medications may not work. You should notexpect to regrow a full head of hair. Visible results may take from a fewmonths to a year. You must take the medication every day. If youstop, any regrown hair will fall out, and you may actually end up with lesshair than when you started treatment. The medications are expensiveand usually are not covered by insurance. What are the risks of not taking these medications? There are no risks to your health if you decide not to take medication for hair loss. However, for some people, there may be a risk to their well-being and self-esteem if they feel that hair loss has affected their appearance. The risk of not taking medication is that your hair loss will probably continue. However, medication is not always effective, and hair loss may continue despite treatment with medication. If you need more information, see the topic Hair Loss . Your Information Your choices are: Use medication to help stop hair loss and possibly regrow new hair. Do not use medication to treat hair loss. Have hair transplantation surgery or other surgeries to regrow hair. The decision whether to take medication to treat hair loss takes into account your personal feelings and the medical facts. Reasons to treat hair loss with medication Reasons to not treat hair loss with medication You have begun to lose your hair, and you wish to prevent more hair loss. Regrowing your hair could help your self-esteem and make you feel better about your appearance. Are there other reasons you might want to treat hair loss with medication? Your hair loss doesn't really bother you. You would only be satisfied with a full head of hair. Medications may have serious side effects when taken with other medications or if you are pregnant or have health conditions, such as a heart problem. Any hair regrown with the medications would be lost if you stop taking the medications. You may even end up with less hair than when you started treatment. Medications to treat hair loss are expensive and usually are not covered by insurance. Treatment may not work. Are there other reasons you might not want to treat hair loss with medication?

Hair! Day By Day©

Fausta's Blog: The Bad Hair Blog Fausta's Blog Fausta's Blog: The Bad Hair Blog New Jersey taxes = Bad Hair! Day By Day© by Chris Muir. Tuesday, December 27, 2005 How José Latour got out of Cuba It took decades, but he made it: He Wrote His Way to Freedom "According to U.S. Treasury regulations, Cubans living in Cuba couldn't have bank accounts in the States. So I flew from Washington to Toronto, and opened an account at the Royal Bank of Canada. And all my revenue from selling rights to my books, or whatever--they were sent to this account." But he was scrupulous about paying Cuban tax on all his income: "I was very careful not to give them the opportunity to charge me with any sort of common crime." . . . Back in Cuba, Mr. Latour was waiting out the first months of his Canadian emigration process ("I was fearing that I might be sent to jail, or something") when an unexpected opportunity presented itself: A Spanish translation of "Outcast," the book he'd written in English, was about to be printed in Spain; its publisher asked Mr. Latour to come to that country for a promotional tour. "I said, 'OK, I'll do it--if you also invite my wife, my son and my daughter.' Let me explain. . . . Cubans living in Cuba need written invitations to file an application with the immigration authorities. I said, 'I will cover the expenses of my family; you will cover my out-of-pocket expenses.' . . . And they said, 'OK, perfect, no problem.' They figured [it] out." The Spanish publisher got the Cubans to grant permission for the family's trip. At the airport, on Aug. 5, 2002, Mr. Latour produced a Royal Bank of Canada credit card. "That was it: around $3,000. That's how I paid for the plane tickets. So I didn't violate any laws." Even then, All the Latours took out of Cuba were the clothes they wore. At least he and his family were able to leave. Like Val says, the barges run in only one direction. The Ladies in White , the wives and mothers of imprisioned dissidents, are not allowed to leave Cuba to receive the 2005 Sakharov prize for freedom of thought that the EU awarded them earlier this year. Instead they get to stay in Cuba where they are constantly harrassed . Mary Anastasia O'Grady has more on them. (technorati tags Ladies In White , Cuba ) // posted by Fausta @ 6:28 AM | The name is Bone, James Bone, and he's asking, Where Is the Car? Probably the most egregious flaw in Mr. Volcker's report is its handling of a contemporaneous document referring explicitly to discussions with the secretary-general in Paris in November 1998 about Cotecna's bid. The internal company memo--a "trip report" written by Annan family friend and then-Cotecna executive Michael Wilson to other Cotecna officials who were also in Paris at the time--says in part: "We had brief discussions with the SG and his entourage." Despite the memo's use of "we," the Volcker inquiry held that Mr. Wilson did not meet personally with the U.N. chief, and concluded that "The committee has not been able to corroborate Mr. Wilson's claim that he had a meeting with the secretary-general about Cotecna's bid for the inspection contract as set forth in the Paris memorandum." (My italics.) This is a distortion in one or Mr. Volcker's key findings: The memo said "we" not "I." Never did Mr. Wilson claim that he met personally with Kofi Annan. Indeed, the Volcker report itself says Mr. Wilson "repeatedly asserted" that he did not meet the secretary-general in Paris. Mr. Volcker's team did discover, however, that Kojo Annan, in Paris as part of the Cotecna contingent, met his father in the U.N. chief's room at the Hotel de Crillon on Nov. 28, 1998. The Volcker report failed even to address the possibility that the "we" in the memo might refer to talks between the U.N. secretary-general and his son, or between the U.N. chief and another Cotecna representative (i.e., one who was not Mr. Wilson). This is where the missing Mercedes comes in. The Mercedes was purchased by Kojo Annan in his father's name four days before the Hotel de Crillon meeting--and about two weeks before Cotecna won the U.N. contract. The use of the U.N. chief's diplomatic status qualified the car for a $6,541 discount on the purchase price and a $14,103 tax exemption when it was imported to his native Ghana. Mr. Volcker's investigators found a memo on the computer of Mr. Annan's personal assistant asking him to authorize a letter to Mercedes. "Sir, Kojo asked me to send the attached letter re: the car he is trying to purchase under your name. The company is requesting a letter be sent from the U.N. Kojo said it could be signed by anyone from your office. May I ask Lamin to sign it?" the assistant wrote. Neither Kofi Annan, his aide Lamin Sise, nor his assistant, Wagaye Assebe, can recall what happened, and the original documents have disappeared--but somehow the Mercedes was purchased with the diplomatic discount anyway. Abdoulie Janneh, the U.N. official who arranged the tax exemption in Ghana was recently promoted to U.N. under-secretary-general, in charge of the Economic Commission for Africa. And the car is still "missing". My guess is that the car is parked in a garage built from tsunami relief funds . Not that Jan "the Americans are stingy" Egeland, the United Nations top disaster official, is telling. Today's articles from Maria Dr. Sowell looks at Cheap politicians and asks, How many people in the top layer of their respective professions are going to sacrifice the future of their families -- the ability to give their children the best education, the ability to have something to fall back on in case of illness or tragedy, the ability to retire in comfort and with peace of mind -- in order to go into politics?

The mainstream media do not appear to care, as long as their stories hurt President Bush. Meanwhile, every "scoop" about the government's efforts to prevent a terrorist disaster make such a disaster more likely. The press has always had broad discretion in what gets reported. But now they've gone too far. David Kaplan of U.S. News & World Report has just blown the cover on " a far-reaching, top secret program to monitor radiation levels at over a hundred Muslim sites in the Washington, D.C., area, including mosques, homes, businesses, and warehouses, plus similar sites in at least five other cities ." This is yet another instance where the press behaves as if we were not at war, while endangering all of us. Philomathean’s post reminded me of a sermon I heard on September 11. On September 11 this year I listened to a church sermon where the person giving the sermon said that on 9/11/2001 the USA had “sand thrown in its eyes”. Some sand. Six hundred and sixty-two people from NJ died at the WTC alone, out of a total 2,996 killed or missing on just one morning. That is not what I would call “sand in the eyes”, but the sermon giver’s outrage was placed elsewhere. His outrage was saved for the 2,000 soldiers who died in Iraq, because they were sent there by Bush. Buried under all the verbiage, the message was that the USA has no enemies, that there is not much in the way of danger, and that we’d all live in peace if only we’d turn our swords into plowshares. I kid you not. I fully expected him to introduce Peter, Paul and Mary, and break into chords of Kumbayah while we all held hands. But the fact is, we are at war. Thousands of people around the world have died over several decades at the hands of Islamist fascists who want to impose their vision of a caliphate on everybody. This is not a new war. Yesterday I read in the Sunday NYT Magazine that Uli Derickson died this year. I had the privilege of briefly meeting Ms Derickson in the late 1980s, a few years after her ordeal. Ms Derickson was a woman of luminous beauty and tremendous courage. She saved the lives of the people of flight 847, which was kidnapped by Lebanese Shiite Muslims in 1985. The NYT obitiuary calls her, The Peacemaker of Flight 847 , and justly so. Back then the terrorist kidnappers [*] were able to listen to her. Four years ago the story changed; the last four American planes that were hijacked couldn’t be saved by the courage of a great woman. There was no more listening. The focus had changed from making hostage deals to simply killing. The war that went unnoticed for so many years is now very much in front of our eyes, if we have our eyes open. The press chooses to close their eyes, and, as Philomathean said, cash in on any "scoop" about the government's efforts to prevent a terrorist disaster, which makes such a disaster more likely – as long as it hurts Bush. Like the guy that gave the sermon, they’re flying blind. [*] Update As a coda to this post, I attach a correction the NYT posted on its website (emphasis mine), A Lives They Lived essay on Page 59 of The Times Magazine today about Uli Derickson, a flight attendant who negotiated with hijackers during a T.W.A. flight in 1985, includes an outdated reference to one of them. Mohammed Ali Hamadi, who was captured two years later and imprisoned in Germany, was released last week. he flew home to Lebanon last Thursday, four days before a German hostage, Susanne Osthoff, was released from unnamed kidnappers in Iraq.

Even so, Israel's response to Munich was not a simple revenge operation carried out by angst-ridden Israelis. Both the larger context, and the facts on the ground, rarely get in Spielberg's way. A rigorous factual accounting may not be the point of Munich, which Spielberg has characterized as a "prayer for peace." But as result, Munich has less to do with history and the grim aftermath of the Munich Massacre than some might wish.

This was a useful demonstration of what I have always hated about the month of December: the atmosphere of a one-party state. On all media and in all newspapers, endless invocations of the same repetitive theme. In all public places, from train stations to department stores, an insistent din of identical propaganda and identical music. The collectivization of gaiety and the compulsory infliction of joy. Time wasted on foolishness at one's children's schools. Vapid ecumenical messages from the president, who has more pressing things to do and who is constitutionally required to avoid any religious endorsements. Melanie Phillips , on the other hand, reminds us That is why the great social reform movements of the 19th century arose from evangelical Christianity. The monumental campaign against slavery, which in turn gave rise to a host of other progressive movements such as women’s rights, temperance and prison reform, was instituted by Christian activists. It could only have been promoted by people whose religious faith gave rise to outrage at slavery’s wholesale denial of human dignity. And that is why modern social programmes attempting to deal with problems such as drug abuse or criminality tend to achieve much better results if they have a religious framework. Some of the most spectacular examples have occurred in America. The InnerChange programme in jails, for example, which immerses prisoner volunteers in an intensive Bible–based programme for 18 months prior to their release, has dramatically slashed recidivism rates. Secular critics throw up their hands in horror at such ‘brainwashing’ but the fact is that it seems to work.

The Achoress writes about Advent and Antiphons through the years… I cannot help - in these final days of Advent - to think about what God did, in a lonely cave on the outskirts of Bethlehem, when He condescended to enter into the pain and fear, the tumult and whirlwind of the world…when he “set his tent among us,” not merely “dwelling” among us as lofty king, but literally “with” us, with hunger, the capacity for injury and doubt… From the author of SC&A: My time to keep my part of the bargain has to be one of the best posts of the year, a diamond among the many jewels in SC&A's vault: Prayer certainly isn't for God. With or without our devotions, His power is constant. Prayer isn't even necessarily for the object of our prayers, be that ourselves or others. That may sound cruel, but it is true. The universe God created was for all of us, not just one of us. While we are each important in God's eyes, we are part of a community of man, a family. There are times when individual and specific prayers appear to go unanswered, yet in truth, the community is served. The universe is a delicate balance, in which time, events in the present, past and future all factor into that balance. That's a post to not only read, but to bookmark.

Wolcott sides with the union, and says, Predictably, rightwing bloggers are bouncing off their padded walls angrily demanding that the union be crushed and its leaders jailed. Some have even begun using Reagan as a verb, as in, "Somebody needs to Reagan the TWU the way he did the air controllers' strike." I am thrilled to have been linked to by Mr. Wolcott, but hasten to clarify that there's no padding here at F'sB. The walls, like everything else Fausta, are all organic, with no artificial additives . If Mr. Wolcott would care to read again my post , he'd realize that the first objection I list to the TWU action is the local union has decided to undermine the international union and that the only other text (aside from Update times) I emphasized in bold print refers to the deleterious effect the strike has on the union's members. Anyone can verify that with a cache screen shot, if you care to. In fact, the one way the TWU might survive this ordeal may be that its membership repudiate the strike and follow the TWU International by "going back to work, en masse", as quoted in yesterday's Daily News . Should the remaining workers that haven't returned to work by then be fired? Of course. Toussaint is the president of the union local, he is not the union. Of course, Mr. Wolcott and any visitor to this blog may interpret "Bust Toussaint" as synonymous with "bust the union", but I suggest that it's not the same. Jeff Jarvis says Excercise will be good for [Wolcott] . At the NY Sun: Kalikow Warns Talks May Be 'Futile' The intensification of warring words between Mayor Bloomberg and the president of the transit union, Roger Toussaint, means both sides have dug in for a protracted strike. The drama comes to a head today when Mr. Toussaint appears in Brooklyn Supreme Court, where Judge Theodore Jones, who levied a $1 million a day fine against the union Tuesday, will decide whether to send the union leader to jail. Judge Jones said yesterday that jail time was a "distinct possibility" for Mr. Toussaint and his top two deputies for violating an injunction barring the union's leaders from inciting or authorizing a strike.

He added that some of the Secretary-General’s version of Oil-for-Food related events "don’t really make sense". "I think you’re being very cheeky," Annan interrupted.

Paul Volker's report on the Oil for Food scandal concluded that $10 billion worth of Iraqi oil was illegally smuggled to adjacent nations; that Saddam Hussein collected $229 million in bribes from 139 of 248 companies involved in the oil business, and illegal payments from 2,253 out of 3,614 firms providing humanitarian goods to Iraq. So Dennis Kozlowski stole $600 million from Tyco and got eight to 25 years in jail, while Kofi Annan supervised more than $10 billion in Oil for Food theft and will stay in his job since, in his own words, "the business of the United Nations is not reform." ----------------- John Hinraker's trying to engage the NY Times in a colloquy , and wrote to them: I don't think you should be quoting anonymous "officials" making incorrect assertions about legal issues, while not pointing out that their assertions are wrong.

And I don't think that a partial sentence from one of the controlling decisions, buried at the end of a long article and not repeated in subsequent articles, removes the incorrect impression you convey that the NSA program is, in all likelihood, illegal.

The damage done by this failure is now irreparable. Clearly, the Iraqi democracy theme is more appealing, but that case makes itself without any administration "spin." Meanwhile, it is a rare week that does not bring news of some appalling blunder or misjudgment: most recently the planting of "good news" in the Iraqi press and the misuse of the NSA.

Sources within other large public employee unions tell CBS2 reporter Marcia Kramer that the TWU's international leadership is considering taking over the local and seeking a settlement with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Those sources say the upper level of the TWU thinks the MTA's latest offer is fair and worthy of further consideration and negotiation. They stand against a militant faction within Local 100 that pressed hard for a strike. It's ridiculous enough that the local union has decided to undermine the international union . We're having record-cold weather. It's the height of the Christmas shopping season, and of the holiday travel and tourist season. Everybody in the city is affected by this. Additionally, this is an illegal strike. The amount of animosity and anger among the seven million people affected by this is tremendous. The N Y Sun (via Maria) explained yesterday, The New York transit strike begun today is a blatantly illegal act of economic sabotage by a union so selfish that it is willing to destroy one of the most important business weeks in the city in a last-ditch attempt to preserve privileges that most private sector employees can only dream of — like the ability to retire at age 55 with a full pension, or the ability to not contribute at all to health insurance costs. Just yesterday I was talking to a friend who spent one hour walking to work and one hour walking home in this cold weather. She's willing to spend three hours a day, in addition to her regular work schedule, driving a NYC bus (yes, she knows how) if it means bringing the city back to normal. Half Sigma proposes how to break the strike . At Atlas Shrugs, NY Transit STEEEEEEERIKE! Yer OUT! . Mr. Snitch! says It may be the worst miscalculation from a labor leader since the baseball umpires' strike of 1999. The Anchoress asks WWRD . Insignificant Thoughts Blog says Merry Christmas, TWU. You’ll understand if Roger Toussaint standing on a podium spouting off about how deplorable your working conditions are while he makes $110k a year with an SUV on the ready fails to strike a chord in the depths of my heart. The N Y Sun , today Early in the morning the president of the Transport Workers Union International, Michael O'Brien, a political adversary of Mr. Toussaint, urged the union not to strike, a stance that suggested an internal rift between the international and the local union. Later in court, a lawyer for the international union, David Rosen, said the parent union would not provide any financial assistance to its local, whose assets are said to be $3.6 million plus the value of their seven-story union headquarters on the West Side of Manhattan. "The union is engaged in an unauthorized strike," Mr. Rosen said. As a result, Judge Jones withdrew the orders of contempt against the international union. News Copy asks, The question now is why [TWU local president] Roger Toussaint is not in jail for contempt of court Enough is enough. Throw Toussaint in jail, fire the striking workers, and get the transport running again. Update A mug for mayor Mike Bloomberg And, by the way, Bloomberg LP , the company that mayor Bloomberg started, didn't offer pension plans (it offered a 401K, not a vested pension plan), automatic pay raises, or non-contributory health benefits to its employees even in the days when Mike ran it. Update, 1:44PM Transit officials said about 1,000 transit workers crossed pickets Tuesday and were put to work cleaning and doing paperwork. Put them behind the wheel, Mike! Update, 2:21PM Throw Roger from the train! (emphasis mine) The most furious of all should be the 33,700 workers who are on the street without paychecks and facing huge penalties for violating the Taylor Law. They are about to lose thousands of dollars each - and their union will be financially broken by $1 million-a-day fines - unless they pressure Toussaint to return them to service, having gained all they are ever going to gain through his extortion. Remarkably, the president of the TWU International is urging the transit workers to go back to work on their own, en masse . And well they should, because the makings of a good deal await them. 3PM : Mayor Bloomberg: Get the Buses Running. (my friend will agree with this) New York has plenty of licensed school bus drivers, tour-bus drivers, regional commuter-bus drivers, and more. Might not some or most of them want a few hundred dollars in extra pay during the week before Christmas for working some city shifts? Update, December 22 Welcome, James Wolcott readers!

(technorati tags transit strike ) // posted by Fausta @ 4:34 AM | Tuesday, December 20, 2005 Creationism, philosophy and science Dennis Byrne writes, Vast areas of knowledge are open to those who realize that just as a branch of physics examines the "first principle of everything," so does metaphysics. Or that cosmology and theology are on the same coin, just on different sides. We should approach the Big Question with awe and humility, not ridicule and self-certainty. With excitement and optimism, instead of division and the kind of cynicism that rejects the possibility of parallel or complementary explanations. To leave students without a perspective of how philosophy and theology and religion help bring us to an understanding of "all things," is as wrong as denying students the understanding that science brings. Philosophers and theologians may--must, actually--rigorously examine the scientific theory that random chance explains everything. A denial of that right and responsibility rises from the same spirit of arrogant certitude that haunted Galileo. I repeat, my position on creationism/intelligent design and science is that, while I oppose the teaching of Intelligent Design in science classes, I also support a scientific analysis of the theory of evolution that would include whatever findings support or contradict said theory. To me, rigorous scientific study can be introduced at a very early age in schools. Embracing either Intelligent Design or the theory of evolution unquestioningly is wrong. Science, by definition, evolves based on the impartial analysis of facts that can be quantified and reproduced. Maintaining science in the science classroom is a top priority in any society. Prohibiting intelligent and civil conversation about religion in the public sphere impoverishes us. Prior posts: Creation and intelligent design, examined by a scientist and by a humanist , and here . (technorati tags intelligent design ) Merry Christmas Dr. Sowell looks at Merry You-Know-What Those who banish the symbols of a civilization often undermine that civilization in other ways as well. People who warn us against being "Eurocentric" are often totally Eurocentric when it comes to condemning the sins of the human race as if they were peculiarities of "our society." These are not just isolated foibles that we can laugh at. No society can survive in the long run without the allegiance of its people. Undermining a sense of the worthiness of a society undermines that allegiance -- and, without allegiance, there is no defense. In the international jungle, made more dangerous by terrorist networks that circle the globe, anything that it is not defended is in jeopardy -- which means we are all in jeopardy, and so are our children and our children's children. Those who wage war against the symbols of American society and Western civilization may do so for no wider purpose than moral exhibitionism or just a desire to be in step with fashionable trends.

How pathetic is that? Coping with the transit strike will be difficult and expensive for all seven million people affected. For comic relief, you might want to read how ‘Life Reeked with Joy’ a thousand years or so ago. // posted by Fausta @ 5:38 AM | Monday, December 19, 2005 South America: Bolivian elections; Venezuela Bolivia : Communist coca grower Evo Morales won, which didn't surprise me. Publius Pundit posts There was nothing fraudulent about it, and voter turnout was an amazing 80%. Bolivians who are celebrating this are happy because Morales is the first-ever indigenous Aymara president the nation has ever had. For people who have been shut out from the existing system, for whatever reason, it’s a great step forward to see one of their own in the highest office in the land. But there is no question that this is not necessarily good news for the U.S. In his victory speech, Morales has vowed to challenge the U.S., saying ‘long live coca, no to the yanquis.’ As recently as two days ago, Morales vowed to be “the United States’ worst nightmare.” He also vowed to ‘defeat the U.S. economic blockade’ which must be a line from Fidel Castro, as there is no U.S. economic blockade against Bolivia, other than the one Morales himself will create with his rejection of the free trade of the Americas agreement - something unlikely to make a difference in the U.S. Bloomberg reports that he has targetted Exxon and British Gas as his enemies two days ago. Morales also took this opportunity to denounce the ill-defined concept known as ‘neo-liberalism,’ which probably means IMF aid, but is also a code word for the U.S., which runs the IMF. Disliking neo-liberalism is one of those things that, if carefully defined, I usually hate, too. But this should not be confused with capital-L liberalism which is a different animal altogether and requires no IMF.

At Babalu, castro's new Bolivian mini-me has a photo of the ¡Three Amigos! , By pledging to be a thorn in the side of the US, Evo has insured himself endless praise as a-charismatic-leader-helping-the-poor-offering-free-health-care-education-adult-literacy-and-job-training-initiatives-that-help-millions for many years to come. Pajamas Media has a round-up of bloggers' coverage. Venezuela : Daniel Duquenal has chronological report of what happened electorally in Venezuela since September. Writing on the subject of elections, Fistful of Euros looks at the demographics of both countries. Update The Miami Herald says Despite the strong showing, Morales may encounter difficulty implementing his policies because his Movement Toward Socialism party failed to win control over the Congress . Bolivia in for bumpy ride Update, Tuesday, December 20 Wretchard proposes a truly revolutionary concept (emphasis mine), Politics in the Third World has long been principally a synonym for plunder. The sole variation from this boring theme lay in finding new and innovative alibis under which to commit the intended looting. Throughout the 1990s traditional elites operated under the banner of the free trade, economic liberalization and privatization -- while doing nothing like that. Each time, the local elites were at pains to emphasize their theft was at the behest; indeed the compulsion of international lending institutions. Though economics in the Third World very often consisted of banditry planned locally; it was always attributed internationally, preferably to Washington; and for decades no one was overly concerned at this sickening charade because these dens of corruption were distant from the centers of world power. Until September 11. While radical Islam is the best known form of chaos from the Third World it was merely the worst -- but not the only -- form of dysfunction. There were many other countries where things simply didn't work, and where their overlords made a career of covering their crimes by claiming subservience to an 'international' program, as simple misdirection. The post-colonial world fell to pieces in a million ways; united only in a single, agreed-upon scapegoat: the USA. Chavez can be depended on to destroy his own country; as did Castro and as probably, will Evo Morales. Yet in the end, they too, will attribute their failings to America. What's needed is some way to make each nation consciously responsible for its own destiny . Whether in Iraq or elsewhere, that's the only way to go. (technorati tags Bolivia , Venezuela ) // posted by Fausta @ 7:11 AM | Africa and foreign aid Too bad the silly editors of People Time Magazine took the entertainment route for their persons of the year. Time says, For being shrewd about doing good, for rewiring politics and re-engineering justice, for making mercy smarter and hope strategic and then daring the rest of us to follow, Bill and Melinda Gates and Bono are TIME's Persons of the Year. Paul Theroux writes, It seems to have been Africa's fate to become a theater of empty talk and public gestures. But the impression that Africa is fatally troubled and can be saved only by outside help - not to mention celebrities and charity concerts - is a destructive and misleading conceit. Those of us who committed ourselves to being Peace Corps teachers in rural Malawi more than 40 years ago are dismayed by what we see on our return visits and by all the news that has been reported recently from that unlucky, drought-stricken country. But we are more appalled by most of the proposed solutions. I am not speaking of humanitarian aid, disaster relief, AIDS education or affordable drugs. Nor am I speaking of small-scale, closely watched efforts like the Malawi Children's Village. I am speaking of the "more money" platform: the notion that what Africa needs is more prestige projects, volunteer labor and debt relief. We should know better by now. I would not send private money to a charity, or foreign aid to a government, unless every dollar was accounted for - and this never happens. Dumping more money in the same old way is not only wasteful, but stupid and harmful; it is also ignoring some obvious points. If Malawi is worse educated, more plagued by illness and bad services, poorer than it was when I lived and worked there in the early 60's, it is not for lack of outside help or donor money. Malawi has been the beneficiary of many thousands of foreign teachers, doctors and nurses, and large amounts of financial aid, and yet it has declined from a country with promise to a failed state. . . . Africa has no real shortage of capable people - or even of money. The patronizing attention of donors has done violence to Africa's belief in itself, but even in the absence of responsible leadership, Africans themselves have proven how resilient they can be - something they never get credit for. Again, Ireland may be the model for an answer . After centuries of wishing themselves onto other countries, the Irish found that education, rational government, people staying put, and simple diligence could turn Ireland from an economic basket case into a prosperous nation. In a word - are you listening, Mr. Hewson? - the Irish have proved that there is something to be said for staying home. I made my own views very clear last July at this blog, and at other blogs, for which I was told to go grow balls. I said then and continue to repeat, that good governance, true democracy, the rule of law, property rights, free trade, and educational choices are what will lead Africa out of its misery. Or, to use Chrenkoff's words paraphrasing Adam Smith, "It is not from the benevolence of the aging rock legend, or the upcoming pop star, that Africans can expect dinner, but from their regard to their own interest." No amount of celebrity worship from Time Magazine will change that. Michelle Malkin 's persons of the year include the brave peoples of Iraq, Lebanon, and the Ukraine. John Stephenson posts on Persons of the Year, ACLU style . Update : Trivia rules everywhere. In a year of momentous changes in many parts of the world, Time magazine has picked Bono, Bill Gates and Melinda Gates for the cover. Excuse me?

The term cellulite simply describes a pitting, bulging, and deformation of the skin caused by the over-inflation of fat cells from an increase in fat storage. Cellulite usually appears on the thighs, buttocks, abdomen, calves, and arms, and is most common in women because their fat cells reside closer to the surface. Genetics and insufficient water intake can also contribute to cellulite development. More than 80% of women over the age of 20 years, regardless of their weight or size, are affected by cellulite. Over the years different techniques have been used to try to improve cellulite. These have included a variety of creams and lotions that promise a reduction in the appearance of cellulite, but generally have led to less than satisfactory results. Surgical removal has also not proved to be a popular approach. Newer methods, involving the use of lasers and laser-like technologies, such as the VelaSmooth and others, represent non-invasive non- surgical methods of reducing cellulite and re-contouring the body to look smoother and firmer. What Happens During Laser and Laser-like Cellulite Treatment? During the procedure, the targeted cellulite fat cells are heated below the surface of the skin. This heat promotes better circulation to the local area, which may allow for more oxygen exchange for increased fat cell metabolism. Following the delivery of heat, today’s cellulite technology provides a vacuum action with deep tissue massage to the treated area. This approach both mobilizes fat while at the same time stimulating the formation of new collagen. What will the treatments feel like? During the treatment you will feel a deep, soothing heat in the targeted area. The treatment can be compared to the feeling of the sensation of finishing an intense workout or having a deep tissue massage. Are there any other benefits of having the treatment? Improved circulation, a decrease in muscle aches and pains and overall better health are some of the possible treatment benefits. Skin tightening, or firming of looser skin, may also be seen. Although cellulite treatment is not a weight loss tool, patients may look and feel as though they have lost weight because their bodies are better contoured. How long will the procedures take? A series of at least 16 treatments over 2-3 months is ideally required. In order to maintain improvement, follow up treatments may be necessary. Are treatments safe? This treatment can be used on all skin types and colors. There is no post-treatment down time. Some redness may occur after treatment. This generally fades quite quickly. Today’s technology has greatly reduced the risks, side effects and complications that are normally an intrinsic feature of all surgical procedures. How Do I Get Started?
