For consumers, the news that the Department of Justice is suing Apple and several publishers, accusing them of price-fixing, boils down to one kitchen-table question: Will this mean my e-books will get cheaper?
The short answer? More than likely, yes. But the long-term ramifications of the move remain murkier, with some arguing that prices will ultimately rise because of it.
Wednesday's lawsuit centers around the 2010 release of the iPad, when the government alleges Apple colluded with six major publishing houses to raise prices on digital books. At the time, Amazon's Kindle was far and away the dominant device for e-books and Amazon forced publishers to sell most books on the devices for $9.99.
Publishers argued that price was too low and, according to the Justice Department, went to Apple in 2009 looking for a way to force Amazon's hand. iPad books ultimately sold for closer to $12.99; as part of their deal with Apple, publishers only offered their books to other retailers at the same prices. After a couple of days, Amazon caved and allowed publishers to set their own prices as well. Holder: Apple conspired to raise prices
"This action drove up e-book prices virtually overnight," said Sharis Pozen, head of the DOJ's antitrust division, at a news conference on Wednesday. "Let me be clear: When companies enter agreements that prevent price competition, that is illegal."
The three publishers who have already settled with the government -- HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster and Hachette -- agreed to tear up current contracts and renegotiate pricing with outlets like Amazon and Barnes & Noble, whose Nook is one of the other most popular e-readers.
So, what happens now?
Amazon wasted no time suggesting that its prices will be dropping soon.
"This a big win for Kindle owners and we look forward to being allowed to lower prices on more Kindle books," an Amazon spokesman said via e-mail.
That, too, will presumably lead to lower prices. And it only stands to reason that Apple would have to eventually follow suit.
Apple declined to comment to CNN for this story.
But some say Amazon's lower prices have been the problem all along.
Scott Turow, a best-selling author and president of the Authors Guild, echoes publishing-house complaints. Calling Amazon "the Darth Vader of the literary world," Turow said in an op-ed piece for Bloomberg last month that an Apple lawsuit would tilt the field too far in Amazon's favor.
"If we reinstate the status quo before Apple's ... breakthrough, then bookstores and publishers are going to be the first casualties," he wrote. "Right behind them will be readers, who will see the diversity of titles and authors diminish while leading titles get more expensive."
The argument goes like this: By selling most new e-books for $9.99, Amazon is setting a price that's too low for other competitors to match in a price war. If that eventually drives the competition away, Amazon (which is already projected to account for more than half of all U.S. book sales by the end of this year) would be essentially unchecked and able to set whatever prices it wants.
The current landscape "looks like a more robust and competitive market, as opposed to the world we will be left with if the Justice Department paves the way for Amazon to return to its predatory practices," Turow wrote.
The 38-year-old founder of blogging network Lockergnome loves the casual game. The pick-it-up, put-it-down, stress-free app.
Pirillo has played his share of games like "Cube Runner" and "A Monster Ate My Homework." He even jumped on the "Words with Friends" bandwagon, but found the Scrabble-like game to be a little too much work.
"The problem with games is they're usually so overly complex. If I can't figure it out within a minute, I move on," said the Seattle resident, who is an occasional CNN.com contributor. "And you know, there are lot more people like me than people who would take a lot of time to get into a game."
Then came "Draw Something." Pirillo came across the game -- a digital variation on Pictionary, with a dash of Hangman -- recently while browsing the latest apps on his iPad. He downloaded it, connected to Facebook and started playing. Draw Something's fast rise and sale
He was instantly hooked. Now Pirillo easily blows through a couple of hours a night playing the game.
"What draws people is the drawing," Pirillo said with a laugh. "Everyone likes to doodle. Who doesn't like to doodle? It's fun, it's easy, it doesn't take any thinking. Not any, but just a little."
The app, created and released by gaming developer OMGPop, has enjoyed unbelievable success in its short life. It has attracted more than 35 million users in the two months since its release -- a remarkable amount for a game that has no clear-cut winners, losers or "Angry Birds"-like levels of achievement.
"Draw Something" spent weeks as the No. 1 free app on the iPad and iPhone, and OMGPop was snapped up last month by Zynga, the king of the social-gaming industry, for about $200 million.
How it works
Playing the game is simple once you scan your social-network contacts for someone to play with. The app gives you three choices of things to draw; you pick a word and then draw it with your finger on the touchscreen, using the basic colors provided in the app. Your friend hopefully deciphers your picture and guesses it correctly, then draws a picture for you in return.
The back and forth continues in an addictive cycle. There's no winner; instead, players work together to build streaks of correctly guessed drawings.
Dan Porter, former CEO of OMGPop turned a vice president of Zynga, said they were inspired to create something that was close to a party game -- targeted at everyone and not too competitive.
"We wanted to be that game that was on the phone of the people who had no other games on their phone," Porter said. "We thought it would do well. But we were shocked that it did this well."
The point system complements the easygoing nature of the game. Players have the ability to pick from a list of three words, which range in difficulty. Harder words are worth more virtual coins, which can be cashed in for features or hints within the game.
What's interesting is how these points work. The person drawing gets coins if the other player guesses it correctly. The person guessing is given the same number of coins for guessing it.
Pirillo thinks this system is very intelligent.
"It's not a competition, it's about collaboration," he said. "You owe it to the other person as a player to get what's in your head."
This may be a factor of why the game is thriving in more than 80 countries, in the hands of people of all ages.
Porter thinks Zynga's support and infrastructure will enable them to make significant improvements to the game -- such as incorporating a chat feature or letting players save their drawings within the app. Currently, players must use the screen-grab function on their phone or tablet to save images of their drawings.
A game of leisure
Varsha Swamy, a 50-year-old mother of two and the manager of Studio One Eighty Nine in Mumbai, India, was invited to play the game on her iPad by her daughters in the United States.
She says the main appeal of "Draw Something" is that it's a game of leisure, as opposed to a game like "Scramble with Friends" where you are working against the clock.
"You're relaxed, you're playing it at your own time and pace, you erase it, then you draw it again," she said with a laugh.
Players say being able to draw a word at their own pace, in whatever style they choose, opens new windows of creativity and self-expression.
To Swamy, it's also a window into your partner's mind.
"When you're drawing, you're illustrating what you're thinking," she explained.
This thought process is visible in full when playing the game, which shows your drawing being created, line by line, as your partner tries to guess what it is. Once a line is off your fingertip and onto the digital canvas, there is no retracting it -- you can erase and start over, although the entire process, including all your mistakes, will be recreated for your partner as well.
This is unnerving to a number of people, especially if they feel their artistic skills are not up to par. Swamy admits that she didn't like the game at first because she doesn't consider herself to be a great artist.
"I think what inhibits people from maybe playing a lot of this game is their drawing skills," she said. But that didn't stop her from trying. "Once I got used to it and figured out all the colors and the thickness of the pen and stuff, I realized I could do a lot of things."
Users agree that, like Pictionary, success at "Draw Something" is not about artistic talent but about providing the right clues for the other person.
"I think anybody who can draw a face -- not a proper face, but two dots and a nose and a smile, can play," said Swamy, who has hit a streak of 80 correctly guessed drawings in one of her games.
Lost in translation?
Words and celebrities from present-day popular culture -- say, Twitter, or Rihanna -- make the game refreshing for some players. For others, they're more of a hurdle.
Even Pirillo, some years younger than Swamy, said he has trouble guessing words like "Lil' Wayne," the rapper. He also wouldn't play the word "Android" for his mother.
"I don't know if she would have the same cultural language everyone else has," Pirillo said.
The game's American-centric cultural references also throw some international players off.
To Swamy, "football" does not mean the same thing in Europe or India as it does in America, and the word "Tebowing" results in a mental blank.
Twenty-one-year-old Rodrigo Llorente of Madrid faces similar cultural and lingual battles daily on "Draw Something."
"Some of [the words] are weird," the Icade University student said. "But you can check them in the dictionary."
That doesn't discourage Llorente from playing. In fact, he finds it a great learning experience.
"This is helpful for learning more English, which is very good in my opinion," he said. "Enjoyment plus knowledge is great."
Zynga's Porter addressed some of these issues when speaking with CNN.
"I would love to do more stuff that is relevant for an international audience," he said. "We are about to put a slew of famous footballers in the game for the Euro Cup, for example."
A new way to connect
Meanwhile, "Draw Something" players continue to share their scribbled masterpieces, their private doodles and their sometimes embarrassing trains of thought.
Players say that while you can play with strangers, the game is a unique and intimate way to communicate with parents, significant others and kids.
Swamy loves playing with her daughter, and even her daughter's boyfriend, in the United States. For her, it's a new way of keeping in touch with loved ones who are far away. Pirillo, who has hit round 79 with his wife, sees "Draw Something" as a different way of connecting to someone you know so well.
"I am not much of an artist, but I am learning more how to make people laugh in the game," Porter said. "I also like to play with my sons Miles and Joshua, as it gives me a window into how they think."
Porter saves and cherishes many of their drawings.

However, the production of acid in the stomach can be greater than that required when an irregular pattern of our lives and health. Symptoms-Pain during bowel movements, nausea and vomiting, often hungry, stomach bloating and pain is incredible. -Because the cause of this disease arise from the stomach then the cause is often the case because people do not eat regularly, there are microorganisms that are harmful, taking certain medications, or an unhealthy lifestyle such as consuming alcohol, irregular sleep patterns and stress. In addition, according to Jamie Koufman, MD, and Jordan Stern, MD, author of In Dropping Acid: The Reflux Diet Cookbook & Cure, there are seven types of foods that could potentially increase the stomach acid is widely available even in our daily menu: 1.Cokelat; 2 .

The properties of turmeric to heal wounds has been reported since 1953. The results showed, with the saffron rose 23.3 percent rate of healing in rabbits and 24.4 percent in mice. Provision of water extracts or ethanol extracts of turmeric orally to rabbits significantly decreased gastric acid secretion and increase mucus production in the gastric mucosa. In fact, the healing is done by neutralizing stomach acid, reducing the production of stomach acid, to treat infections of the gastric mucous membrane, and reduce pain caused by irritation of the mucous membrane or muscle spasms of the stomach wall. In addition to eating turmeric that has been processed into a drink, the people were also encouraged to eat small amounts but often. Healing stomach ulcers can also use medicinal plants.

Over the years, diabetes has slowly become a major public health problem. Over twenty million people in the U.S. have diabetes, most of them with type 2 diabetes. With the federal government and insurance companies facing increasing medical costs of treating diabetes and its associated problems, there is a great incentive to begin identifying those at risk for diabetes before they actually develop this chronic disease.
One way of determining this is with different kinds of diabetes pre-screening tests. Diabetes is a metabolic disorder in which a person has excess sugar in the blood. You can't perform testing, however, by merely drawing blood and measuring the glucose levels. This is because a meaningful percentage of the populace has normal blood glucose levels during the day but elevated glucose levels as they eat throughout the day. Any valid test for diabetes has to take this into account.
Medical care practitioners use 3 primary text to determine if someone has diabetes. What they measure is how fast and efficiently your body is able to clear excess glucose from your blood stream. If the test reveals that you have relatively high glucose levels, it is a good indication that you have glucose intolerance, pre-diabetes, or diabetes. The 3 tests are:
1) Random or casual plasma glucose testing - the patient can be tested at any point in the day. According to the American Diabetes Association, if the test shows a casual plasma glucose concentration of 200 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl), it has met the criteria for a diagnosis of diabetes.
2) Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) testing - often called the fasting blood sugar test due to the fact that the patient has to fast before the test is given. In this context, fasting means that the patient has not ingested food or drink, other than water, for at least 8 hours before the test. This test is probably most convenient for the patient when performed first thing in the morning after a night's sleep. The test measures blood glucose levels. The normal glucose level after fasting is about 100 mg/dl. If the glucose concentration is 126 mg/dl or more, a diagnosis of diabetes can be made . Monitoring of the blood glucose measurements goes on throughout the day. This test is very popular with insurance companies and health care providers because it's relatively inexpensive. This is also a standard test given to check for pre-diabetes.
3) Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) - The best and most comprehensive of the tests. It is more sensitive than the FPG test and can test for impaired glucose intolerance which the other two cannot. It's also the most expensive, making it the least popular with insurance companies and health providers. The test is performed two hours after orally taking 75 grams of glucose. A diagnosis of diabetes can be made if the blood glucose results show 200 mg/dl or greater.
It is possible that a test, for any number of reasons, can give a false positive and indicate that a person has diabetes when, in fact he doesn't. Because of this, if a test shows positive, it should be repeated to confirm the results.
Herbs are the culinary and medicinal plants. These are the low-growing aromatic plants which are used fresh or dried for seasoning, for their medicinal properties, or in perfumes. There are a wide variety of herbs such as super kelp, garlic, parsley, green tea extract, horse chestnut, milk thistle and oregano oil.
Herbs are very useful in strengthening the body and in treating the diseases. However they contain active substances that can trigger side effects and interact with other herbs, supplements, or medications. So, they should be taken on the advice of an herbal practitioner.
Super Kelp Super kelp (also known as "Sea kelp" and "Sea wrack") is a sea herb that is one of the best sources of natural iodine and trace elements. It is also used as the principle agent in cures for obesity. In addition, it cleans out the kidneys and stimulates the thyroid and pituitary gland to produce growth hormones.

It may also be beneficial for risk factors for heart disease, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and cancer. The excess of garlic can cause upset stomach/flatulence, occupational asthma, postoperative bleeding, bloating, bad breath, body odor, and skin irritation. People with bleeding disorders should not use garlic.
Parsley Parsley (Petroselinum) is one of the best known, diuretic and most nutritious herbs which contain large quantities of vitamins A, B, C and minerals calcium, iron, phosphorous, potassium and magnesium.
