"This is an easy gourmet appetizer. I've brought this to several parties and it is always a hit! I often add some chopped green olives to the olive mixture and a little more balsamic. Goat cheese may also be used in place of the cream cheese. Serve with slices of French bread or crackers."

Should have read more reviews: dried thyme doesn't work...it remains hard. That said, I'll add fresh thyme next time, and maybe add it to the simmering figs. Also, I used fresh figs (awesome!) and added a splash of white wine when cooking the figs. Served with goat cheese. Aside from picking out the thyme sticks, this dip was phenomenal! Update: I've made this three times in the past month its that good (and also because fresh figs are in season!). If you're using fresh, I cut up a pint into small pieces, and that amount works perfectly. I haven't encountered anyone who doesn't LOVE this dip either. I use fresh herbs (rosemary and thyme), but either way you need to add it to the simmering figs or else it stays twiggy.
This recipe really caught my eye as I was looking for a different dip to serve at our party. It had only been given one review with 5 stars and it hit the "nail on the head". It is definitely one which will stay and be used in my recipe collection. Already 3 people have asked me for the recipe which I now will pass on - reluctantly! 2 points to make: take note that it should be left if possible OVERNIGHT to allow flavours to mature so give yourself that time. Also, not reading the recipe correctly I went ahead and pureed all the ingredients. Although it was a fantastic spread, next time I will remember to finely chop ingredients so it has a "chutney" consistency instead.
I love this recipe! I have to make some appetizers for an upcoming party and chose a few safe ones and decided on this one for a change of pace. I did a test run of all the recipes and at first, I truly wasn't sure about this one, but after I let it sit overnight -- fabulous! It's one of those tastes that at first you might seem skeptical, but once it hits your tastebuds, you actually crave it. Definitely will keep this as a permanent part of my recipe collection. Yummy!

Talk about having a bad day:
Minnesota Twins leadoff man Denard Span hit a hard foul ball that struck his mom in the chest during Wednesday's game. She was treated by paramedics and back in the stands minutes later.When Span returned to the plate, he struck out on the next pitch. Ya think?A stunned Span sprinted into the stands and stayed with his mother while she was treated. The split-squad game against the New York Yankees was delayed for a few minutes as she walked to first aid, and the Twins said she was sore but OK
Happy mom's okay.

Business Name: Osterhoudt Rentals
Address: 6030 State Hwy 23, Oneonta, NY
Phone/Website: 432-0810 www.rentoneonta.com
Owner: Jerry Osterhoudt
Shop Talk is a weekly column featuring locally owned and operated businesses. This week, we talk to Jerry Osterhoudt, owner of Osterhoudt Rentals.
How long have you lived in the area?
I was born in Oneonta and aside from my college years, I have lived here all my life.
Tell me about your business:
I breathe new life into tired, old buildings. I buy primarily distressed properties and renovate them into productive rental properties I can be proud of. I rent apartments, houses, commercial spaces and guest houses to working people, college students, businesses and baseball families. Summer weekly rentals have also worked well for area returnees visiting family and friends.
Describe a typical day in your business:
There is no typical day. Ideally, I first respond to email and communicate with contractors and employees to make sure everyone is on track for the day. I usually have appointments for viewings and lease signings. I need to sign at least one rental agreement every three days to meet my expenses. But the phone can ring and the schedule needs to be juggled to accommodate. Like if someone is locked out, a pipe bursts, a toilet overflows or the furnace quits. Then there are appliance breakdowns, leaky valves, broken hardware, and general maintenance that needs to be addressed before they become bigger problems. Just think of the number of times items need repair, painting or redecorating in your home and multiply that by the number of rental units you own, and next thing you know, you're very busy.
How did you get started in this line of work?
The unemployment rate was quite high as baby boomers flooded the job market, just like it is now with baby boomer's babies. I remembered my economics professor repeating "food, clothing, and shelter", there will always be work there, so I got a job in a supermarket while attending classes. I got tired of studying to be a doctor about the same time I got tired of paying rent. So I did a bunch of math and a lot of soul searching. The year I turned 21, which was the age of majority required to own real estate back then, I bought a two-family house where I could live in half and rent the other half. The house already had a tenant so I thought I was all set. Turns out he liked paying rent even less than I did, so he never did. But he did like living there, so I knew the house was a winner…. After taking real estate courses through the Continuing Ed. Program at SUNY Delhi, I had a much better understanding of what I had gotten myself into. I discovered I liked working on houses more than I did studying, so I bought more. After a few years, I was doing it full time.
Where do you see this business in five years?
I expect to expand toward Cooperstown and into at least one other state.
Describe a memorable moment in your workplace?
I was working late in Cortland, when my wife called to say that I had won two Properties of Merit Awards. I knew I had been nominated, but never expected to win one, let alone two. It was an honor to be recognized and it sure made the long drive home easier that night.
What have you learned from your work?
People are people. Respect goes a long way. Don't ever think you've heard or seen it all.
Never stop learning. Live by the golden rule.
What is the most challenging part of what you do?
Keeping everything pristine and working properly all of the time, and finding renters who appreciate a nice place to live and are willing to take care of it. No owner wants their property trashed. One bad tenant can affect your rental for years. The unit doesn't show well while they are there and if you do show and rent it, you will probably get more of the same. It's hard to break that cycle. The bank doesn't want to hear that the property is vacant while you make repairs, and the bills still need to be paid. Insurance companies will cancel your insurance if it is vacant beyond their guidelines. I recall a Real Estate Leadership Seminar I attended in Orlando Fla. in 1992, where I was surprised to hear that taxes and governmental expenses consume an average of 38% of all collected rents. I'm sure it is higher now, especially in N.Y. Maintenance and repairs average 10%, and managerial costs, another 10 percent. That doesn't leave a lot leftover for a mortgage payment.
The most enjoyable?
Definitely the people. I've worked with really great people over the years. I've been able to meet highly motivated, successful, people from all over the world. I also rented to a Russian international student who joined our military and ended up guarding our President! I can think of at least 6 individual former tenants who are now 3 local married couples. I enjoy providing people with a comfortable place to live.
How do you define success for your business?
100 percent occupancy with all rent payments current. It's more of a goal than a reality. If my tenants are happy with their home, I've done my job. It also helps me sleep at night.
What are some advantages as well as drawbacks of doing business in this area?
It's a matter of perspective. An advantage is that Oneonta has a relatively stable real estate market. The disadvantage is that you can't capitalize on wild market swings in real estate. But you can't have it both ways. The biggest drawback is the weather. In 2006 I had six houses with water in the basement. Fortunately, no living quarters were ever flooded. In the early 1980s, the temperature dropped to 30 below zero and hovered around that mark for a few days, long enough to freeze pipes in multiple locations. An advantage is that natural gas is available and NYSEG does a good job of minimizing electrical outages.
What sets you apart from your competitors?
I used to live in every unit before I rented it. I felt it gave me a chance to troubleshoot potential problems. After moving 6 times in two years, that got old, but to this day, 39 years later, I would not rent you a place I wouldn't live in.
What advice would you give to someone trying to enter your field of work?
Educate yourself, and I don't mean read "get rich quick with no money down" books. Be sure you have the mindset and temperament to deal with problems. Do your homework before you buy. If you don't do a thorough home inspection or a complete income analysis, you may not be able to afford repairs or necessary capital improvements. Also, check codes and use regulations. Be prepared to be on call 24/7 as long as you own rental property.

Phoenix Sports Editor
Muskogee girls coach Angie Hillmon has crafted the track-equivalent of a slow-cooking prime rib — still with a bit of tweaking before putting to the ultimate test at the Class 6A regionals in a few weeks.
On a night that the smell of barbecue served to participating teams permeates the air around Indian Bowl for the Rougher Invitational meet, her crew of sprinters may offer a sizzling sound. Field events begin at 4 p.m. and timed running events (no qualifying heats) begin at 4:30 p.m.
Lillian Thompson at 12.61 seconds has the sixth-best posted time in the 100 meters. Xandrea Maxwell ranks second in the 200 (25.49). Both turned those in last week at Bartlesville, where the 400 relay of Thompson, Zomaree McNac, LaShay Nunley and Maxwell posted a 50.35, the sixth best time this year in 6A according to ohstrack.com.
That beat a 50.50 where Thomas replaced Thompson on the first leg earlier in the season.
"We're definitely deep in sprinters and we've moved people around giving everybody the opportunity to show what they can do," Hillmon said.
Maxwell and Nunley have been doing that for four seasons. Thompson is a junior. McNac is a freshman. Myangel Thomas is a sophmore as is Lanice Rozell, an alternate on the 800 and 1,600 relays.
"Thompson is coming off quad muscle injury and is just getting to be 100 percent. When she runs well and Nunley runs well, we do well," Hillmon said. "Nunley has had few problems with her knee. But we're lucky to be very interchangeable. I'd prefer to go with the experience factor just because they've been there in the heat of the battle but if we have to we've got replacement parts and they compete well together."
This year, Hillmon is beginning to see some distance kids arrive that will be capable of scoring points — Diana Velasquez, Luz Garcia, Alissa Anderson and Jayden Williams. Aaliyah Wilson is a freshmen long jumper.
"We've struggled to get distance kids out and I think part of it is that they've always been overshadowed by our sprinters," Hillmon said. "They've done well."
For Muskogee's boys, the beef may be more prime out of the tent that will feed the participants. MHS coach David Heath's team is young.
"I'm looking down the road a little with this bunch," Heath said. "My 4 X100 has three freshmen and my 1,600 has two freshmen and two sophomores."
Three of those freshmen — Tariq Beasley, Matthew Maxwell and Quintahj Cherry ran a 44.0 at Bartlesville a week ago for their best time. "If we can get in the 43 range, they've got a chance at qualifying for state this year," Heath said. "But with freshmen in that situation, you're more concerned about experience and not blowing handoffs or dropping the baton. If that goes well, they could surprise some people this year."
Dexter McGriff, a Navy football signee, is coming off a first-place finish in the discus at Bartlesville. His best in the discus is 144-1 and is sixth in the state.
The cast of schools include the usual 6A suspects — Broken Arrow, Union, Jenks, Owasso, Bartlesville — as well as 5A toughie Tahleuqah and East Central. But the real David in the arena of Goliaths is 2A Warner, which will bring its 800-, 1,600 and 3,200 relay teams, most of which were on the entries that qualified for state a year ago.
Baylie Short and Allie Davis are joined by freshmen Jessica Kauffman and Becky Kauffman in the 3,200 relay that ran an 11:19 at Henryetta.
"That's not on the posted rankings (Ohstrack.com) but from what I've come across it would be second-fastest in the region we'll be in, so there's a lot of times that aren't being reported," Warner coach Justin Kana said.
Short and Davis also run on the 800 relay with Morgan Barton and Caitlin Goodson, with a season-best of 1:58, and are joined by Barton and Becky Kauffman in the 1,600 with a 4:34. Another Lady Eagle, Raven Girty, a state qualifier in the shot put last year, will also be present.

Madonna has been extremely helpful with this order, as well as previous inquiries. She is punctual in responding and goes above and beyond to help with any question or request I have.
Hand sanitizer tottles listed citrus scent, but it is more of an unpleasant alcohol scent.
Overall, the mint tins and hand sanitizer looked good. I would have liked the logo on the hand sanitizer to be larger and more prominent; also, the logos were crooked on some of the bottles.

Fun times.
Swaziland map and flag.
Welcome to The Buddies Program website. I thank you for your interest. I am excited about this program because it uses education as weapon for change. I started being aware of the power in education when I would avoid helping in the maize field because I was "studying." More seriously, education allowed me to critically engage in my community, cross boarders and cultures and experience life anew. It is because of opportunities in education that I believe that The Buddies Program remains much needed and relevant in Swaziland.
The buddies program uses tutors, who are Swazi university students; to help students from underperforming rural schools in Swaziland do better in their final national exam. Higher education is free in Swaziland, but by default, this opportunity is available mostly to students from urban areas that tend to be from schools with better resources. This program complements the work done by teachers in schools with limited facilities by helping students go through their national exam past papers one-on-one with our tutors. More importantly, our tutors forge a strong relationship with students and share stories about their success and opportunities.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — TRAVERSE CITY — Northwestern Michigan College plans to offer a bachelor of science degree in maritime studies this fall, making it among the first community colleges in the state to offer a four-year degree.
"It's a huge deal," said Marguerite Cotto, NMC's vice president of lifelong and professional learning.
"This action will allow us, in these very select technical areas, to provide a degree at the level of education we've already been able to give students. It's amazing to credential at the level we already train. We are just proud to be on the leading edge of this one."
The NMC board this week agreed to authorize the degree. The college initially will offer maritime deck officer and maritime engineering officer majors starting in the 2013-2014 academic year.
Last December, the Michigan Legislature approved a bill that authorized the state's community colleges to offer bachelor's degrees in maritime technology, cement technology, energy production technology and culinary arts.
Gov. Rick Snyder signed the bill into law on December 27, 2012.

HOUSTON -- Houston police are seeking a grandson of an 89-year-old minister after the pastor and his daughter were found beaten to death in a burning home.
Police say the 20-year-old grandson is a person of interest in Thursday's killing of the Rev. Clements Dorsey and 61-year-old Barbara Dorsey Alexander. Investigators say the woman was visiting from Moreno Valley, Calif.
Sgt. J.J. Wilson says both victims suffered blunt force trauma and the house was ransacked. Autopsies have been ordered.
Police say the grandson had stayed at the house after being released from jail in a theft case but Dorsey last Sunday asked him to leave. Police believe the young man fled in his grandfather's SUV.
Wilson says the pastor's wife has dementia and slept through the killings. She wasn't hurt.

The process of administering an estate or trust can be a complicated and stressful experience. Our Trust staff is highly trained in fiduciary matters. We will carry out these duties in a professional manner and will exceed the ethical guidelines for our profession. Your surviving spouse or children will not need to worry about how to address these matters, as we will handle these duties for you in a prompt and efficient manner.
Estate settlement through the probate court is necessary when an individual dies owning assets in his or her name alone. This is true whether or not the decedent has a valid Will. The settlement of an estate is governed by the terms of the Will and by state law. Chemical Bank Wealth Management offers services to act as personal representative under your Will and will work along with your attorney and the probate court to provide a smooth settlement of your estate and a prompt distribution of your estate assets. The personal representative is responsible for payment of all funeral and administration expenses; debts; filing and payment of income, estate and gift taxes (if any); and proper filings with the probate court. All assets are then distributed either outright or into a trust depending the terms of the Will.
Chemical Bank Wealth Management provides comprehensive trust administration services for clients with assets held in trust. Clients name Chemical Bank as trustee when an independent trustee is required, or to reduce the burden on family members who may lack the time, expertise, and resources to effectively manage a trust. The trustee is responsible for the management of the trust assets during the term of the trust, including prudent investment, accounting and tax reporting, and making all mandatory and discretionary distributions.
Each trust or estate account will have a dedicated personal trust officer and a trust investment officer for comprehensive management of the investments. The investment management strategy for each account will be based on factors including the anticipated duration of the trust and the number and types of beneficiaries. The personal trust officer and the trust investment officer will meet with the beneficiaries and any co-trustees on a regular basis to evaluate the portfolio and assess the performance of the investments.
If you wish to make your own investment decisions, you may wish to use Chemical Bank for providing custodial and safekeeping services of the assets in your account. In this case, you will receive periodic statements, safekeeping of assets, efficient execution of trades and all required tax reporting information.
Each client has the option of receiving account statements in paper or electronic form. Both printed and electronic statements will provide complete reporting of all transactions during the period and a listing of assets held on the statement date. Clients selecting to receive electronic statements will have online access to view account activity at their convenience.
As a Chemical Bank Wealth Management client, you may choose to have Chemical Bank take on the responsibility of paying bills from your account. This enables you to focus on important personal matters while we assume the responsibility of timely payments of your bills. In addition to bill paying, we also offer accurate record keeping of all transactions within your account. This service includes tracking the cost basis of each asset, which is necessary for proper tax reporting of gains or losses on the sale of an asset.
We do all of the preparation of income tax returns related to the trust or estate in-house. In addition to the preparation and filing of the fiduciary tax returns, each beneficiary who receives a distribution from a trust or estate will also receive notification of the taxable income that must be reported on his or her individual income tax return.

Surveying theories and philosophies of mathematics education
Bharath Sriraman
Dept. of Mathematical Sciences

Brisbane, Australia
Any theory of thinking or teaching or learning rests on an underlying philosophy of knowledge. Mathematics education is situated at the nexus of two fields of inquiry, namely mathematics and education. However, numerous other disciplines interact with these two fields, which compound the complexity of developing theories that define mathematics education. We first address the issue of clarifying a philosophy of mathematics education before attempting to answer whether theories of mathematics education are constructible.
Keywords: philosophy of mathematics; philosophy of mathematics education; theory of knowledge; theory of mathematics education

23 indicted in New Jersey for alleged bank fraud scheme
Authorities in New Jersey have indicted 23 people on charges they allegedly posed as business account holders to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars, withdrawing most of the money from casinos in Atlantic City.
Those indicted face racketeering and other charges for allegedly stealing more than $275,000 from 14 business accounts at JP Morgan Chase Bank between February and September 2011, Acting New Jersey Attorney General John Hoffman announced Thursday.
Sixteen of the defendants have been arrested. Warrants have been issued for the seven still at large. Most of those indicted are from the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens, although one defendant, Raymond Springs, 50, is from Reading.
Springs is charged only in relation to the alleged counterfeit check scheme, said prosecutors, adding that the other 22 defendants are charged in connection with the larger bank fraud scheme
Prosecutors said the complex scheme involved creating fraudulent accounts from which money could be withdrawn.

National authorities arrested Gbagbo the day before, and he was brought to the Netherlands in response to a warrant of arrest [text, PDF] that was issued by the ICC judges the week before.

Gbagbo was captured [JURIST report] in April but only after a six-month conflict that reportedly resulted in the death of at least 3,000 civilians [HRW report, PDF] and rape of more than 150 women. The investigation was set in motion after the ICC granted [JURIST report] the prosecution's request to look into the crimes in October.

We have a birdbath in our garden, and at the beginning of this year when it got so cold, the birdbath froze, and we found an odd, triangular, slim chunk of ice rising up out of it at an angle. The birdbath is in the open, so nothing could have dripped into it, and the piece of ice didn't look like it just dropped in. I've never seen anything like it before. I wish I had taken a picture of it. Do you have any idea of how it could have formed?
Elaine Terry
The frozen phenomenon that rose from your bird bath is commonly called an "ice spike." It usually occurs when a shallow pool of water – such as your birdbath or an outdoor water bowl for pets – quickly freezes. Water freezes from the top down, and occasionally this solidification is uneven across the surface, leaving a small hole. Since water expands when it freezes, some can be pushed through the hole, which, when exposed to very cold temperatures, begins to rise up as a tube of ice. This tube will continue to grow until the hole the water is being forced through freezes over. If this cold construction goes on long enough, the result is an ice spike.
If you have a bit of mad scientist in you and want to repeat this effect, you can make small ice spikes by pouring distilled water into a plastic ice cube tray and putting it in the freezer. I haven't tried it myself because I use such ice for drinks, and I don't want to poke my eye out.
Paw paw pollination
I live near the Neuse River Greenway and believe I have identified several paw paw patches along the river banks. They bloomed very well this past spring, but I saw no evidence of fruits. I know that paw paws can be difficult to pollinate. I have read that hanging some scrap meat could attract varmints and insects that could assist in the pollination, but I am not sure if other users of the greenway would appreciate that. Do you have any other suggestions, or should I just be patient?
Thompson Brockmann
Paw paws can be real bears to bear fruit. I know gardeners who have resorted to using small brushes to physically move pollen from one bloom to another. Call me lazy, but you won't catch me doing it. And even though flies and beetles are the main visitors to paw paw flowers, which have an unpleasant smell, you won't find me hanging cheap steaks in trees to help pollinate them, either.
Brushes and stinky meat might not work anyway, because these trees are self-incompatible, meaning paw paws only produce fruit when pollinated by paw paws that are genetically different. So if the trees you saw along the river originated from the same parental paw paw, that could be the reason for failure to fruit. For folks wanting to plant paw paws and enjoy their fruit, this inhibition to inbreed can be solved by simply selecting two different cultivars.
Fragrant winter plants
What would be on your short list of suggestions for plants that not only bloom in the winter but are also fragrant? I know such plants exist, but I wanted to see your suggestions to see if I am on the right track for this area.
Lynn Curry
Chapel Hill
My short but sweet-smelling list includes winter daphne (Daphne odora; grows about 4 feet tall); witch hazel (Hamamelis x intermedia; 6-18 feet); winter honeysuckle (Lonicera fragrantissima; 8 feet); and wintersweet (Chimonanthus praecox; 10-15 feet).

SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A man has been cuffed and charged after detectives say he stole cash from behind a counter at a Kroger grocery store.
Metro 911 dispatchers tell WSAZ.com it happened inside the Kroger at Riverwalk Mall just after 6 p.m. Saturday.
South Charleston Police say James Calvin Smith III, 38, of Charleston, noticed a girl working the service counter wasn't paying attention when he snuck into the office and stole more than $1,000 out of a cash drawer.
Detectives say Smith jumped the counter and took off but never threatened anyone and no customers or workers were hurt.
Several witnesses helped police get an accurate description. Smith was later caught in Charleston by police.
Smith was charged with grand larceny and is now in jail.

Pella — The Pella High School Marching Dutch finished their competitive season on Saturday, October 13, with two outstanding performances at the IHSMA State Marching Band Contest in Pella and at the Mid-Iowa Band Championships in Ankeny. The Marching Dutch earned their 37th consecutive division I "Superior" rating that afternoon in Pella receiving a score of 92.8. That evening in Ankeny, they placed 1st in class 3A at the Mid-Iowa Band Championships while taking top honors in Percussion. Their score of 86.5 earned top honors for all classes.
Their show this fall was entitled Catch Me If You Can. The program was based off the amazing life story of Frank William Abagnale Jr. who, before his 19th birthday, successfully conned millions of dollars' worth of checks as a Pan Am pilot, doctor, and legal prosecutor. Forty years later, he is still widely considered to be one of the most amazing and daring con artists in United States history. Now an independent consultant to many fortune 500 companies, Mr. Abagnale served his prison sentence working for the FBI's check forgery prevention and prosecution unit. His story eventually became a best selling autobiography and blockbuster movie in 2002, which stared Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks.
The Marching Dutch staff and students would like to thank the parents, volunteers, and community for their continued support throughout the 2012 marching band season.

High school football teams in Anne Arundel County will begin their sixth week of play on Friday night. Patch has rounded up the records and schedules for each team and produced some power rankings.
1. Arundel (5-0): The Wildcats will take on Old Mill in a game that could decide the county championship Friday night. Both teams are undefeated, but the Patriots are the defending state champs and handed Arundel its only regular-season loss last year. This season, Arundel has two talented quarterbacks in Jack Gordon and Cooper Hibb who have been successfully sharing playing time. The Wildcats have put up a county-high 239 points this season.
1. Old Mill (5-0): As the Patriots take on Arundel, they will rely heavily on the run game. Aqeel Mooring and Shawn Brown now offer a double threat on the run for Old Mill. Both teams will be ready to play, but Old Mill may have a slight edge, because it has faced tougher opponents.
2. Broadneck (4-1): The Bruins are coming off a big 19-0 win over their rivals Severna Park. This week, Broadneck will face a winless Annapolis on Friday evening. Broadneck's only loss this season came to the undefeated Old Mill. The Bruins should handle the Panthers easily.
3. Meade (3-2): After falling to Old Mill last week, the Mustangs will travel to North County (1-4) on Friday night. Old Mill's offensive numbers have been high in all of their victories, they put up 116 points in the first week, while only surrendering eight. The Mustangs will look to continue their productive offense on Friday and should come out on top.
3. Severna Park (3-2): The Falcons will head to Edgewater to take on South River (3-2) on Friday. Severna Park is coming off a 19-0 shutout to Broadneck, while the Seahawks come in on a 34-13 victory over Annapolis. If Severna Park wants to stay contenders in the county, they will need to win this one.
3. South River (3-2): The Seahawks will get a home game against Severna Park on Friday. They will rely heavily on their run game led by Lavon Chaney, who was the fourth leading rusher in the state last week with his 208 yards in the win over Annapolis, according to the Washington Post.
4. Chesapeake (2-3): Home against Glen Burnie
4. Glen Burnie (2-3): At Chesapeake
5. North County (1-4): Home against Meade
5. Northeast (1-4): At Southern
5. Southern (1-4): Home against Northeast
6. Annapolis (0-5): At Broadneck

It was summer 2006 and Shi-Chang Deng needed to see his doctor. He hadn't been feeling so well. With shortness of breath and erratic heart beats, Deng headed to the International Community Health Services clinic in Seattle.
To Deng's surprise, his doctor told him his heart was fine. But his blood sugar was a different story. The 71-year-old was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes.
"I was kind of surprised and shocked," Deng said through an interpreter. "I didn't imagine I had this. I was nervous, too, because I know diabetes is a disease. It's not the common cold."
Deng said he didn't know about a family history of the disease, because growing up in an impoverished area of Guango, China his parents didn't have access to health care. And with very little information about the disease, he didn't have positive expectations about the remainder of his retirement years.
Unaware of diabetes effect on the body, Deng made sure to follow his doctor's instructions. He enrolled in free diabetes self management classes given by the ICHS clinic, while hoping to bolster his limited knowledge of the disease.
The weekly classes are available in six-week cycles, covering the basics of diabetes, how to live with the disease, medication, complications, nutrition and exercise, according to Peer Educator, Angela Wan.
Classes are capped at 12 participants and usually include individuals who know little about the disease or its dangers, Wan said. Meetings sometimes include family members.
"We encourage the diabetic's family to come to the class if they want, with them," Wan said, "because they can give them a strong support and can have a better result come out."
After participants hear about the possible dangers of diabetes, Wan said they're appreciative of their newfound knowledge.
"They become more serious to look into diabetes and take care of themselves," Wan said.
In addition to handouts and professional guest speakers, Wan said she tailors her classes by emphasizing the value of exercise and staying active. Wan, 58, mixes Tai Chi with Chi Gong, which suits older patients with its focus on breathing techniques and slower, controlled movements.
"The more I do research, the more I find it's so important," she said. "If you do exercise regularly, it can reduce all kinds of diseases."
However, participants aren't always enthusiastic about that topic, Wan said.
"It's not like aerobics, where your heart beats fast, makes you have shallow breath," Wan said. "The most important thing is [being] consistent. If you don't do it every day, it's of no use. You are the master of your life and nobody can help you but yourself."
Once the sessions are completed, participants are encouraged to join the support group to stick to their reformed ways and share their experiences and ideas.
"It's all very small things, but a lot of people-including myself-they don't know this information, but once you give it to them, they're appreciative," Wan said.
After the classes, Deng found himself changing his eating habits. He cut out sodas, Chinese desserts, and three daily servings of white rice he enjoyed eating since his youth.
Instead, he's down to half a bowl of brown rice a day and eats more vegetables to feel full, throwing stir fried noodles into the mix, during his other meals. No longer a self-proclaimed "rice bucket" Deng eats more fresh fruits, including apples, mangos and melons and drinks lots of green tea. He has continued walking for at least 90 minutes every day at nearby parks, momentarily stepping away from his Chinese soap operas and movies to get his daily exercise.
Although he does enjoy desserts and doesn't always feel like walking, Deng said he continues to motivate himself by thinking positively and refusing to be conquered by the disease.
"After the class I realized diabetes is not very scary at all," he said. "I gained a lot of confidence so I can face and live with diabetes now."

Southeast High School Raiders
- Southeast High School Raiders
Prep Roundup: Unbeaten streak rolls on for Cats
Replicating the start of last year's Class 4A state title match, Dalton High School's boys soccer team needed just four minutes to score its first goal at Southeast Whitfield on Friday.
The Catamounts scored five more — and again defended their crown of dominance in the sport.
Prep Baseball Roundup: Raiders out of hunt for the playoffs
Needing a win to keep Southeast Whitfield High School's baseball season meaningful, Raiders coach Brad Lofton turned to a pair of senior pitchers on Friday at Heritage-Catoosa.
The seniors didn't disappoint, but it was the offense and the defense that couldn't come through.
Fight's not over yet
Southeast Whitfield High School baseball coach Brad Lofton felt like his team gave away the opening contest of a three-game Sub-region 7B-4A series on Wednesday at Heritage-Catoosa.
Prep Roundup: Bruins power past Cats for key victory at home
TUNNEL HILL — Similar to Wednesday's Sub-region 7B-4A baseball series opener at Dalton High School, Northwest Whitfield fell behind early Thursday versus the Catamounts.
Prep Roundup: Dalton golf teams in form at Fields Ferry
Even in wet and muddy conditions, both the Dalton High School boys and girls golf teams are sharpening their games at the right time.
With the Region 7-4A tournament scheduled in two weeks, both the Catamounts and the Lady Cats finished second during play at the Fields Ferry Invitational in Calhoun on Monday. Despite the soggy conditions, Dalton's Jacob Brown tied for medalist honors with a 2-over par 74 to lead the Cats to a 313 combined score in the six-play, four-score format. Dalton finished three strokes behind tournament winner LaFayette.
All-Area Wrestling Team and Wrestler of the Year: Winning another title was the only goal for Wheeler
When Dalton High School wrestler Sidney Wheeler won a state title for the first time two years ago as a sophomore, he admitted he became a little complacent about what it would take to replicate the feat — perhaps not noticeably so to most observers, but enough to take success for granted. Wheeler believed it a matter of course that he would win state again, and he thought the second title would simply be the middle child in a high school three-peat.
Prep Roundup: SE offense hot again, rolls 16-0
Southeast Whitfield's baseball team is back to scoring a lot of runs and winning consecutive games.
Prep soccer: Morris boys earn Class 2A ranking
It's nothing new for a local high school boys soccer team to be among those in the eurosportscoreboard.com state rankings.
It is new for that team to be Morris Innovative.
Hungry for much more
VARNELL — Coahulla Creek High School's tennis teams aren't letting much keep them from playing — and winning — this season.
On Monday, they picked up their opponent before picking up another pair of victories.
Prep roundup: SE offense keeps foot on throttle
As long as Southeast Whitfield High School's baseball team continues to hit the ball and score runs the way it has so far this season, it really won't matter what the defense does.
Coach Brad Lofton still likes how the Raiders' fielding is improving.

A Joliet-area family will be homeless for at least several weeks after a chimney fire spread through the walls and roof of their house Friday afternoon.
The blaze at 1931 Heather Lane, just off Fiday Road near Essington, started at sometime before 3 p.m., according to Plainfeld Township Deputy Fire Chief Jon Stratton. A fire set in the home's fireplace is believed to have breached the chimney firewall and moved into the house's interior, he said.
The father and son, who were home at the time, reported hearing crackling in the walls that grew louder when they went to the second floor, Stratton said. When they smelled smoke, they realized it was a fire and evacuated with the family dog, he said.
Damage is estimated at $75,000 to $80,000, and Stratton estimated the family -- which also consists of a mother and another son -- will be displaced "through the holidays."
A neighbor who works with the Plainfield Emergency Management Agency said the family's church will provide them with vouchers to stay in a hotel. The home is located in a small area not far from the Louis Joliet Mall that is in unincorporated Joliet and part of the Plainfield Fire Protection District.

A new proposed state law would charge the owners of seized animals up to $15 per day per animal for the duration of a trial or any other legal proceedings that determined whether the animals would be returned to them.
House Bill 82, which passed the State House late last month by a vote of 163-34, is intended to help shelters and other facilities that care for seized animals to recoup their costs.
The Humane Society of the United States supports the law. The organization's Pennsylvania director, Sarah Speed, told the Chambersburg Public Opinion that the bill protects shelters, which often spend thousands of dollars caring for animals that have been seized from owners accused of animal cruelty or comparable charges.
Not everyone is satisfied with the bill's provisions.
The American Kennel Club (AKC) has called the proposed law "problematic" and urged dog owners in the state to pressure their legislators to oppose the bill as currently written.
The AKC objects to the potential for animal owners to permanently lose ownership rights to the animals if they fail to pay the mandated maintenance costs at any time during a trial. According to the AKC, the costs of care during a trial could prove "extensive," even for animal owners who are ultimately exonerated of animal cruelty charges.
The bill will now be considered by the state Senate.
