The University of Texas test people taking each drug and the most dangerous drug was pioglitazone. Is not clear whether the drug prevent diabetes or only low the elevate blood sugar, so its better to people make a healthier diet and make exercise. “The F.D.A. has never approved any drug to prevent diabetes,” “There’s a reason for skepticism, because we don’t know whether these drugs are really preventing diabetes or just masking it,’’ said Dr. Steven Nissen. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/29/health/research/29prevention.html?ref=health Valeria Stevenson

Qaddafi Forces Said to Lay Land Mines at City By DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK
TRIPOLI, Libya — Militia loyal to Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi laid land mines on the edge of the city of Ajdabiya in eastern Libya, Human Rights Watch said in a statement Wednesday. Peter Bouckaert, a researcher for the group working out of the rebel stronghold of Benghazi, said in the statement that both antivehicle and antipersonnel mines had been found in the ground. An electrical utility truck ran over and detonated two antipersonnel mines on Monday. Because of the location, Mr. Bouckaert concluded that the mines were planted by Qaddafi forces during the 10 days ending March 27 when Colonel Qaddafi last controlled Ajdabiya. The discovery of the mines could add to the case justifying international intervention in Libya on the grounds that if unchecked Colonel Qaddafi would threaten civilians in areas where rebels are challenging his four decades in power. Libya is last known to have used land mines in its war with Chad during the 1980s. While most nations have signed a treaty restricting their use, the Qaddafi government has defended its right to employ them to defend Libya’s long borders.

The basic 16-gigabyte Wi-fi-only version and the 64-gigabyte with 3G data connection account for a majority of iPad 2 sales on eBay. They also net a healthy profit for sellers. EBay said the the low-end iPad 2 was selling for $198 over the $500 retail price and the $830 high-end model was selling for an astounding $406 more.The least desired iPad 2 is the 16-gigabyte 3G model, making up only 7 percent of iPad 2 sales.
