Michael Hamman is a 63-year-old contractor. He recalls, "I first was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes five or six years ago. I probably had elevated blood sugar well in advance of that, but I was unaware of it. I don't remember how high my blood sugar was at the time, but I think my A1C was 7.5%. My blood sugar's never really been awful. Since I started monitoring myself, my sugar readings are normally between 150 and 165. I think it was pushing 200 before I was medicated, but the medications brought it down. They started me on glyburide and I took that for a long time, and then the A1C was moving up again, so they added the metformin. The A1C now is down in the mid-sixes. They consider it controlled, not well controlled or as good as it could be, but certainly for someone my size, it's probably as good as you can get."

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has identified a swath of the southern U.S. as the country's "diabetes belt." In this region, made up of parts of 15 states, some 12 percent of the population has type 2 diabetes, compared with 8.5 percent of people in the rest of the country.

Tony Flores is a 50-year-old native of El Salvador who works as a construction foreman. He was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about 12 years ago, after an eye doctor told him it would be a good idea to get his blood sugar checked. He recalls, "I did the test, and they got all freaked out and told me, 'Oh my god, your A1C is at 12%. You have diabetes type 2. You've got to cut the sugar, you've got to stop drinking orange juice and soda."

You know that awful feeling when a sugar low is coming. I break out into a cold sweat, feel panicky, get nauseated, and have trouble answering extremely simple questions like "Do you need to eat?" Well, I was feeling it again, and again, and I didn't know why. That's what I hate the most: When things go wrong, but I think I've been doing everything right.

Ellen Granberg is an obesity sociologist who studies the processes that people go through when they lose weight and keep it off. As she says, "If the problem were that we don't know what people should eat to lose weight, that would be one thing, but we don't have that problem. There are a hundred weight loss plans out there that are perfectly good. We understand all about the physiology of weight loss maintenance and the metabolic impacts, but nothing about the social and emotional impacts. People who sustain weight loss over time move through a lot of different challenges."

In two recent head-to-head year-long trials, one testing gastric bypass surgery versus lap band surgery and another pitting gastric bypass surgery against sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass came out ahead with regard to resolving the symptoms of type 2 diabetes. Both studies were published in the February issue of the Archives of Surgery.

In order to undergo gastric bypass surgery, you must have a BMI of at least 35. If you have type 2 diabetes and would like to undergo the surgery to alleviate your diabetes symptoms, you are out of luck unless you are also morbidly obese. A few less weighty type 2 patients have taken matters into their own hands by deliberately gaining enough weight to qualify, but now there is a less drastic way to qualify for the operation.

High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is, as the name implies, corn syrup whose glucose has been partially changed into a different sugar, fructose. To make HFCS, you start with corn, then mill it to produce starch -corn starch. Starch, the most important carbohydrate in the human diet, consists of long chains of glucose. To make corn syrup, you mix the corn starch with water and then add an enzyme, produced by a bacterium, that breaks the starch down into shorter chains of glucose. Then you add another enzyme, produced by a fungus, that breaks the short chains down into glucose molecules. At that point, you have regular corn syrup.

PyCryptoPlus is a cryptographic module similar to PyCrypto, with which it shares the API. But PyCryptoPlus is written 100% in Python, so its primary interest is educational and scientific; if you want real speed, you're better checking out PyCrypto. It was not completely written from scratch, but integrates other cipher codes when available in Python and under appropriate licenses. It contains, among other things: Block cipher algorithms (Serpent, Blowfish, Twofish, DES, 3DES, AES, Rijndael, and PRESENT); modes of operation (CMAC, ECB, CBC, CTR, and XTS); paddings (bit padding, zeros, PKCS7, PKCS12, ISO 10126, and ANSI X.923); and one-way functions (MD5, SHA1/SHA2, Whirlpool, RipeMD, RadioGatun, HMAC, and PBKDF2).

Type 1 diabetes often strikes children. Children love to play video games. Putting two and two together, diabetes educators have created a string of diabetes-themed video games over the years. The latest evolution of that simple equation--the Bayer Didget meter-game combination--arrived in U.S. drugstores this year.
But can fun and disease education work together? Can they create compelling games or compelling education? Or are those even the right questions to ask?
Bayer is marketing the Didget device less as recreation and more as solution. The meter "was designed to directly address the challenges facing kids with diabetes and their parents, and may also ease the tensions that testing can cause for families," said Erika Muhlberg, a Bayer spokeswoman.
The Didget device lives in a couple of different worlds. On one hand, it's a blood glucose meter, built with the company's no-coding technology. On the other hand, it can plug into a slot on the Nintendo DS handheld game machine. When attached, its users can play a series of minigames on the machine.
As children test more often, they unlock more games. They're rewarded for developing the kind of habits required for tight control of diabetes.
The current set of games available with the meter, carnival-themed diversions called "Knock 'Em Down," has garnered a positive response from young users, Muhlberg said, but "Bayer is currently working with Nintendo to develop more games compatible with the meter."
Didget came out in Europe last year and was approved for the U.S. in December. Muhlberg said that the company plans to continue rolling out the meter worldwide.
They may be racing against time, though. Last year, Nintendo introduced the DSi, a handheld gaming device that took out the slot necessary for the Didget meter. In June, Nintendo introduced another successor device, the 3DS, which also lacks the hardware slot used by the meter.
Muhlberg said that Bayer plans to "keep the Didget meter compatible with new gaming systems as they are introduced."
Some Context
Parents and educators may be surprised at the size and breadth of the video game market. According to the Entertainment Software Association, the industry's trade group, U.S. video game sales in 2008 totaled $11.7 billion.
What's more, 68 percent of the country's households play video games. The average gamer in those homes is 35 years old and has played games for a dozen years.
And in this entire, vibrant market, a small handful of educational games have left a mark. Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego, a series of PC geography games, perhaps came closest. Oregon Trail, a grade school-level history game, has its devotees. Nintendo itself, in recent years, has introduced "brain training" games for the DS.
In this wider video game community, two diabetes-themed adventures produced for the Super Nintendo system in the 1990s have come in for considerable mockery. Electronic Gaming Monthly magazine included the running-and-jumping Captain Novolin as one of its 20 worst games of all time. It came in at No. 4.
According to EGM's Seanbaby (pen name of writer Sean Reiley), "For this game to have had any use whatsoever, there would have to be at least one pediatrician who left the education of a potentially deadly affliction up to an unplayable video game."
Another SNES game, Packy & Marlon, stars two diabetic elephants at summer camp. The bitingly sarcastic website Something Awful has featured the game, writing that "game developers took the steps necessary to push children over the edge so they would forcefully end their lives with a lancet to the eyeball."
Perhaps this is all unfair. For an educational video game, fun is not the primary purpose--it's a way to make players receptive to a message. But if kids are learning about video games from this wider community, and from parents who play games themselves, surely they have the right to expect enjoyable experiences.
Those developing and promoting the latest generation of diabetic education games aren't making new Captain Novolins or Packy & Marlons--games that attempt to disguise, however poorly, their educational missions. They're drawing distinctions. Sometimes, they're not even calling the products games.
Bayer's Erika Muhlberg said that the Didget meter is "first and foremost a healthcare device regulated by the FDA."
Nikki Inderlied of Game Equals Life, which is developing a role-playing action game starring a diabetic hero, calls her company's effort "an educational tool."
In Development
Two other diabetes-themed video games in development have garnered notice over the past few years.
Game Equals Life, based in Norman, Oklahoma, is working on a project called The Magi and The Sleeping Star. Inderlied, a company spokeswoman, said the game integrates diabetes management into a wider story.
"The game is about a hero who must battle armies of robots and giant monsters in order to save his world," she said. "But since this hero happens to have type 1 diabetes, players must learn to manage the disease in order to be successful."
Adam Grantham, the company's president and creative director of the game, demonstrates Magi on the company's website. Grantham, a type 1 diabetic himself, has created what looks like a mainstream, action-oriented title.
As in most video games, the main character gains powers and abilities throughout play. But in this one, improving his diabetes management adds to his power.
"We're using the incredible teaching power of play to illustrate that life with type 1 diabetes doesn't have to center around the disease, and that good blood sugar management is the key to living a free and healthy life," Inderlied said.
The game is being developed for the personal computer, and Game Equals Life is looking for development partners. No release date has been set, Inderlied said.
The games mentioned so far, both old and new, set their sights on type 1 diabetics. Richard Buday's company, Archimage, is behind two recent projects--Escape from Diab and Nanoswarm: Invasion From Inner Space --targeting young people at risk for type 2 diabetes.
Buday's company, originally a design firm, has expanded into assisting with video game development for companies such as Disney and Nintendo. A decade ago, the company began working with Baylor College of Medicine on National Institutes of Health-funded work on interactive behavior modification.
Inspired by Baylor's work, Archimage applied for its own NIH grant and received $9 million to help develop Diab and Nanoswarm, each of which tries to prevent childhood obesity through "role-playing, character-driven sci fi adventures," Buday said.
But he doesn't want players glued to the screen, especially when they need to be active. "The games are designed specifically to limit each level to an hour or so of screen time," Buday said.
ArchImage received its grant in 2003 and began a clinical trial in 2008. The research, conducted by Baylor, showed that Diab and Nanoswarm players ate an extra serving of fruit and vegetables a day. The results have been written up and submitted for journal publication.
Buday is currently working on partnerships with businesses or institutions "to get this out of researchers' hands and into kids' hands." Archimage is also looking for a second grant for a larger trial.
The challenges of educational gaming are many. Not only do the games have to appeal to children with other, noneducational, options, but they also have to be supported by adults who may be unfamiliar with the video game world or video game culture. Will current projects be mocked online a decade from now? Or will they be seen as the start of a new and profound way to educate?

My daughter has always been a picky eater, but it just keeps going downhill. She's already seen a doctor and a nutritionist about this. All's they say is it is a control issue. She stores her food in her mouth, and one time most recently it took her 80 minutes to eat 7 bites. I tried to get her to pick up the fork but she wasn't doing it so I ended up putting the food on her fork and just held it out for her to eat. I have been really concerned about the way she barely eats anything most of the time. Her doctor prescribed her two pediasures a day, and sometimes that's a struggle to get into her as well. I am just wondering if there is anyone else out there that has had the same issues with getting their child to eat, or if anyone has any avice as what can be done to get her to eat better. I've tried games and a bunch of different things to get her to eat, but it's a struggle practically every time to get her to eat. So any advice or tips would be helpful, thank you!
Thanks fo the tip but my daughter has already seen an OT for this, and they said she has no sensory issues, or texture problems at all. I was told it was a control thing, and I am just wondering if there is anything I can do to help her eat better, I've tried a lot of different strategies but sometimes nothing really works and she just doesn't eat well.
i have a six year old who has better things to do than eat. i used to fight with him about it (feed him myself). My doctor ok d everything health wise so i decided not to make an issue of it. I keep healthy snacks (kid cliff bars are a favorite)within reach in the fridge and cabinets and let him eat when he is hungry. He still has to sit and "eat" or better yet talk ,with us at the table during meal times.all in all let her lead. hope this helps
My son is 3, almost 4 in September. This past year was a struggle getting him to eat. He particularly loves fruits and vegetables. They say that appearance is alot of it. And I found that the more you focus on the issure of eating, the more they make it an issue. I would put his favorite channel on, and leave out apple slices or cantelope pieces on the coffee table, something cut up rather than giving him a whole apple and don't watch her eat, leave her the choice to eat it or not. I would also encourage him to go grocery shopping with me and he would help me pick out things he liked. The Ore-Ida company makes tater tots shaped like letters, which he likes to play games with. And white pizza he likes, rather than red pizza. He would like to pick out bagels or a roll from the bakery department and eat while we shopped. Sometimes I will even buy a 20 piece McDonalds chicken nuggets to keep in the freezer in bags of 4 so I would always have a backup. One time I even made him a smoothie (he actually didn't really drink much of it, but it was a good thought) and put yogurt, fruit and milk in it! I also found gogurts worked well. I encourage him to go to the fridge or pantry to pick out something that he wants. Also, I found rewarding with a lollipop or popsicle would work.
Try not to focus on forcing her to eat, but encourage her independence in food choices and even if she eats a couple of quick snacks or finger foods throught the day rather than a big meals at once.
I hope that any of this advice helps! Good luck!

Average Italian Food – i came to this resturant with high hopes, having being reccomended to me by a freind. but i am dissappointed to say it did not live up to my expectations. initially i was surprised to walk in with out a resorvation and get a table with only about 15 minutes wait, which was great, espically on valentines day. good selection on the menu. but when we got our food, it seemed almost too simple, and should i say, bland? service was mediocre, our watriess came back only about twice the whole time and refilled our water only once.
In all this place was "ok" but not something to write home about. maybe ill try to give it another chance sometime,
I left feeling like i could have made something just as good at home for less.
Great food and authentic surroundings – A great place to take your date. Very good food and great atmosphere.
great italian food – We had 2 great italian dishes- both were very good- the limoncello dessert was awesome!
Good service-- First time since they opened the new digs!!!
An embarrassment to Folsom – This was a huge disappointment. They've moved to fancy new digs, and with all the fuss, we decided to give it a try. What a disappointment! Soggy pizza! Can you imagine? At an Italian restaurant? Bland pasta, boring salad. You'd be better off at Spaghetti Factory, seriously! At half the price. The couple at the next table each took one bite of their food and put down their forks and called for the check. We were hungry so we ate ours, but we certainly understood them!
Yes, the owner jumps around smiling and shaking hands with everyone like he's some sort of rock star. Please. That act is played! Better he should look after the kitchen and get that squared away, and let me eat in peace!
Good food but terrible service! – We have eaten at Visconti's several times in the past and have always had good food with good service. After going there tonight (Sat 9/20/08) we won't be going back anytime soon. Our server (very possibly the owners daughter) was more interested in socializing and visiting with her friends who were in the restaurant, than waiting on her customers. We were completely forgotten about after getting our salads and waited for more than a half hour for our appetizer. Only after asking another server to check on our meals did it become apparent that she not only forgot about us, but she never even submitted our orders to the kitchen. The food might be good, but we will look elsewhere for a restaurant to spend our hard earned cash at!
Take-out mistake... – I wanted take-out spaghetti and meatballs. Simple, huh? Inexpensive it was not. Over 18 dollars for a single serving. I t was supposed to be a dinner, but the side salad was missing completely. and there was no parmasan cheese to complement the spaghetti. The sauce was too sweet for my taste and the meatballs were bland. Won't be getting food there ever again!
Sweet Italian – Food: Appetizer was tasty, mussels? marinara was wonderful for being so far from the ocean, Salads were skimpy but creamy Italian dressing was best I?ve had in years; entree came after enough time to digest, but not long enough to get filled from the wonderfully tasty but burnt garlic bread. (One piece cut my gums enough to hinder enjoyment of my meal); the high ticket item was worth its twenty dollar price, except the seventy-nine cent spaghetti as side pasta, the lower ticket twelve dollar item was exceptional however the meatballs were fit for the kids portion. All in all the sauce hits the spot as an interestingly sweet take on traditional sauces, The sugary taste overpowers the spices or the meat mixed in, so it tasted like eating some sort of a cake. Despite the culture shock from traditional Italian food, I would like to try some of the other dishes.
Service: or lack there of was offensive none the least. The owner was a wonderful guy who came over to talk, however the rest of the staff should take lessons on how to write, repeat an order to avoid mistakes, or just listen. Water was refilled before the glass touched the table yet sodas were few and far between after plenty reminders. Bread was refilled with lackluster concern. When I asked for the bill it came after a few stares to remind, but was incorrect, after the third time (and person) it still was miscalculated. All together it took forty! Minutes to receive the bill from when we first asked, the change was miscounted and plastic was obsolete by the time the receipt came by. I have never seen so many people help one table and still not have the correct answers. (Total of 8 tables at the time: so not crowdedenough for an excuse, not to mention the servers took orders from other tables before goingback in her pocket to get our bill)
Best italian restaurant in Folsom – I have been a frequent patron of this restaurant for nearly five years now and am never disappointed. They have the best chicken parmesan sandwich and meatball sandwich around. I was surprised by the negative reviews and I just felt the need to share my positive experiences with the public.
Prices way too high for level of dining experience – I'll start from the beginning as it gets worse from there. We froze as we sat at our table because the ceiling fans were on in the middle of February! The waitress was attentive as she brought our drinks, but after that we saw her twice. She forgot the bread until I asked for it at after the meals were served, and it was burnt at best. The calamari was rubbery, and then the salad was no different than the bagged stuff at the grocery store, though the dressing was good. The dinner came after about 30 minutes of being seated. It was fairly warm, but no fresh parmesan cheese grated on top? I thought that was kind of "non-italian" like for such a restaurant that had been recommended to us with high marks. There was the little shaker jar on the table with the powdered stuff in there like you would find at a cheap pizza place. That was very tacky! We had told our waitress that we wanted two to go orders and we placed them about 20 minutes before we were planning on leaving, thinking that would be enough time. The place wasn't very busy, and it was totellini alfredo. Not a hard order. We then waited another 45 minutes for the to go order. She dropped off the food and said she would be back with the check. After a gruelling 20 minutes of waiting for the check, having her say the machine couldn't read our credit card we were finally out of there! It was so painful and we were so irritated with that place it made whatever moment was enjoyable, totally miserable! To top it all off, my bank statement shows that they charged our credit card twice for the bill! Now I have to call them up and relive this entire story all over again to try and get my credit of almost $100.00. Don't bother with this restaurant as it is overpriced for what it is.
Poor Excuse for an Italian place – Ok, some of the food is good/ok, though it has gone downhill from years ago. Yes, Mr. Visconti is charming and it's cute that he chats with the patrons and all, but c'mon! NO parmesan cheese?! (other than "Kraft" powdered stuff?!) I can get fresh parm at Olive Garden and Macaroni Grill, so not having it at an "authentic" italian place is inexcusable. There is little to no atmosphere, made worse by their new practice of turning up the lights (despite candles on the table!) I'm sorry, but when it feels like I'm at Denny's all the way around there's certainly no reason to pay $$$ for their food.

Here is the reader's survey from our Winter issue:
Liz GoodManaging Editor, Spin-Off
I think silk is the greatest next to the skin. Cool in summer and warm in winter.
I wear silk next to the skin mostly. It wicks moisture well and both cool and warm. When I hike the Sierra I always have silk next to the skin, never cotton. The wool is not cool enough in the middle of the day when you can get very hot and the cotton stays wet after perspiring. Silk handles it all. I will put cotton on over the silk during the day but as it cools in the evening, on goes the wool on top of all. Aren't they all wonderful!
Silk, silk, silk! Wonderful to spin, to work with, to wear!

DETROIT, Mi. (My TV20 News at 10) --- A bigger reward is now being offered in the shooting death of a local Naval Officer in January.
There are still no leads in the murder on Friday, January 4, 2013, of Officer Terrence Hill Jr., who was shot and killed on Detroit's west side.
The 24-y/o Hill was sitting in his vehicle at 2:30 a.m. on Manor Street near 7 Mile Road when an unknown suspect walked up to his vehicle and demanded a personal item from him. The suspect shot Terrence in the chest and fled the scene.
The suspect is a black male with a dark complexion, 5'7" tall, small build and in his 20's. He was wearing a black skull cap with a white line on it. The second suspect was dressed in all white.
Hill was a United States Naval Officer and served in Waukegan, Illinois as an artillery instructor. Terrence graduated from the Detroit School of Arts in 2006. His 21 year old brother and step-brother serves in the United States Army.
"The Detroit Police Department Homicide Section has reached out to Crime Stoppers of Michigan to solicit information from the community that will solve this homicide", said Inspector Dwane Blackmon, Detroit Police Department Homicide Section.
With donations made to the family, the reward through Crime Stoppers of Michigan has grown to $12,500 for information that leads to an arrest. Anyone who has information regarding the crime should call Crime Stoppers of Michigan at 1-800-SPEAK-UP or 1-800-773-2587. All calls and cash rewards are completely anonymous.
Crime Stoppers is obsessive about anonymity. In fact, here is a short-list of the precautions that are taken in the process. There are no CallerID phones at Crime Stoppers. Phone calls to the 1800 SPEAKUP number go to a call center in Canada -- they aren't handled locally, they aren't even handled in the US. Calls are never recorded. Callers are never asked for their name, their phone number -- or any kind of identifying information. Crime Stoppers does not even know whether a caller is a male or a female. And do not want to know.

I've considered going paleo or modified paleo a few times, then I looked at my bank account and realized with my caloric requirements going all grass fed organic free range meats and eschewing cheaper carbs like rice, oats, and whole grain pastas did not fit my budget
It would cost twice as much to do and you'd lose tons of anabolic activity due to seriously decreased carbohydrate intake.
Just to be clear, I agree with the author; IMO the paleo diet is a fad masquerading as logic. It just doesn't make much sense at all. People have prospered since paleo times, almost entirely due to the advent of agriculture. The whole idea that "everything is wrong now", and "it used to be right but we humans screwed it up" is just nonsense. I won't go any further into that here, only to call bull**** on the whole concept.
HIIT style training with weights+non-processed foods+Anavar= ya, nothing new Crossfit... except now I can't have my peanut butter. Thanks for nothing....
What are you people thinking wow all those grains have made you guys ignorant and naive. The paleo diet is so much better for you than what you're doing now. You may feel fine now but give it a true shot for 30 days and see how you feel and perform. You'll clear up any autoimmune issues and gut problems. Do your home work before dismissing it. Geez. Look up robb wolf and read his blog it's very interesting and makes more sense than loading up on grains. Oooo yea and don't forget that the people of the paleo times also didn't have houses, vaccines, and they to we're being hunted by other animals so yea I'm sure if we lived back then especially you grain heads you wouldn't' make 1 year.
Clear up autoimmune disorders? Nice regurge there. All you've done is removed the stimuli, the autoimmunity is still there. Come on in and use your first post to try to bash guys that were finishing their degree in nutrition when you were graduating 1st grade. Who's talking about grains in here? We're talking about bandwagon fad diets and elitist athletic groups. We've seen them come and go and we're all up to date on gluten and gut health, thanks for explaining it to us though. God, last night was like attack of the know-it-all newb night.
Besides that, I recently talked to a nutritionist (freshly graduated one with up-to-date schooling..if that matters) and she told me to not be a fool to the marketing ploys of diets and gluten-free stuff. According to science, the only people that have an "intolerance" to gluten products are in fact people with the auto-immune disease called Celiac disease which according to her only about 2-5% of the population has such a disease.
So you dropped all grains from your diet, which would include wheat, any bread, pastas, quinoa, etc etc (which by the way are very, very nutritionally sound) and you claim that you feel less "bloated"? Well duh! You just killed 75% of all starches from your diet. Of course you are gonna lean up! Of course you are gonna carry less water weight! Starches are known to cause the body to hold water more effectively and it is a well-understood approach to cut those types out when you want to dry out and get ripped.
But who lives in pre-contest mode longer than 10% of the year!?!?! Paleo and gluten-free is a marketing ploy. Don't believe me? Go to a grocery store like Target for instance and find a regular sauce on the shelf and then find the gluten free version - the first thing that should jump out at you is the 300% price increase for "Gluten-Free" products!
Did I feel awesome? If it weren't for the Test/Tren combo, I might've gone insane and jumped off a cliff or something to that extent. It was horrible.
non-GMO stuff again would be a great option if it were affordable. When I become a millionnaire, I'll be sure to switch over to non-GMO, 100% organic foods. Until then, I'll keep eating the same stuff I have been eating since I was a child.
BTW, I also have a healthy amount of fresh veggies and deer meat that most people do not have regular access to. This I think makes a difference too.

In this final matchup, we have two great combatants squaring off for your vote to be crowned the Indy Cornrows 23rd Pick Tournament Champion. Will it be Dennis Schroeder of Germany, or Tony Snell of New Mexico capturing this year's crown?
In our final semifinals matchup, we have two point guards squaring off for a chance to move on to the finals tomorrow. Erick Green of Virginia Tech and Dennis Schroeder of Germany are squaring off for your vote. Who will advance on to the finals?
In the first semifinals matchup of the day, we have Tony Snell of New Mexico facing off against the idea of trading Danny Granger to move up in the draft. Either one of these things would be helpful for the Pacers next season. Who will advance on?
This matchup is the best one of the tournament, by far. A colossal battle like this is finals worthy, but they meet a little earlier. Dennis Schroeder would be a major upgrade to the backup point guard position, while trading the pick is intriguing.
This matchup is a good one between two ACC point guards. We have Shane Larkin of Miami facing off against Erick Green of Virginia Tech. Both of these point guards would be big upgrades to Indiana's second unit next season. Who will advance on?
This matchup is a battle between the two titans of the tournament. Gorgui Dieng and Trade Up (Trade Danny Granger) have been destroying their competition by massive margins in the first two rounds. Who's run will end, and who will advance on?
This matchup is another good one, as we wrap up the second round. Ricky Ledo, a player with star potential faces off against possibly trading the pick for a veteran. Both of these options make sense, but it is up to you on who moves on. Who wins?
This matchup has the makings of a good one, here in the second round. We have a seasoned prospect, Reggie Bullock facing off against a prospect with untapped potential, C.J. Leslie. Who will advance on to the quarterfinals?
This matchup has a pure personal preference. Would you rather have a pass-first point guard or a scoring one backing up George Hill next season? Dennis Schroeder has seen his stock slip a little bit, while Isaiah Canaan has risen. Who advances on?
This matchup features an athletic, defensive wing facing off against a scoring point guard. Either one of these prospects would be big upgrades to what is currently on the roster. Who will get your vote and move on to the quarterfinals?

MaxMind has been taking steps to ensure that all of our products are IPv6 compatible. Currently, our GeoIP2, GeoIP Legacy, and minFraud web services are IPv6 compatible as are our GeoIP2 Country and City databases. We also provide free GeoLite2 City and Country databases.
Although we are constantly improving our IPv6 coverage, it is important to remember that, to date, IPv6 represents a very modest portion of internet traffic. Once IPv6 usage becomes more widespread, MaxMind will collect the data necessary to provide the same coverage and accuracy in the IPv6 space as it does in the IPv4 space.
If you have further questions concerning MaxMind's plans for IPv6 compatibility, please contact us at email@example.com.
Free Databases with IPv6 data
- GeoLite2 City and Country Databases
- GeoLite IPv6 Country Database (binary)
- GeoLite IPv6 Country Database (CSV)
- GeoLite IPv6 City Database (binary)
- GeoLite IPv6 City Database (CSV - be sure to read the README file)
Frequently Asked Questions
Which MaxMind services currently support IPv6 Addresses?
Our GeoIP2, GeoIP Legacy, and minFraud web services, GeoIP2 Country database, GeoIP2 City database, and GeoLite2 databases currently support country-level IPv6 lookups. We also provide IPv6 support to our GeoIP Legacy binary database and CSV customers through our free GeoLite IPv6 Country and City databases. We will continue releasing free IPv6 databases and updating our APIs as IPv6 becomes more widely used.
When do you expect to release IPv6 compatible versions of your GeoIP and minFraud products?
We currently provide country-level IPv6 support for our GeoIP2, GeoIP Legacy, and minFraud web services and GeoLite2 databases. We provide country-level IPv6 support in downloadable GeoIP2 Country and City databases and will release more GeoIP2 databases with IPv6 data in 2014.
Note that we require higher IPv6 use rates in order to gather the information needed to build databases that have coverage and accuracy comparable to our IPv4 databases. We will periodically provide updates on our progress.
What happens when I try to use IPv6 addresses with your GeoIP Legacy binary database products?
Currently, IPv6 addresses will return a generic error message. Note that our GeoIP2 databases support IPv6 lookups.
Can't you translate IPv6 addresses into IPv4 addresses to make them compatible?
We are only able to do this with IPv6 addresses that contain an embedded IPv4 address.
If I am already a client, will I have to pay more for IPv6 compatible products?
No. Clients using our GeoIP2, GeoIP Legacy, minFraud, and proxy detection web services may submit IPv6 addresses without paying additional fees. If you are using our GeoIP Legacy databases and want to use an associated GeoIP2 database, you will need to purchase an update to your database to become IPv6 compatible, but you will not be required to purchase a new site license or pay any additional fees on top of the regular update price. You will need to install a new API to access a MaxMind DB format of database which supports IPv6.
What will I need to do to become IPv6 compatible?
GeoIP2, GeoIP Legacy, minFraud, and proxy detection web service clients are able to use the existing web-service endpoints. You may pass them IPv6 addresses.
Clients using our GeoIP Legacy databases need to uprade to GeoIP2 APIs and download GeoIP2 databases.
Which GeoIP Legacy database APIs are IPv6 compatible?
Currently, our C, C#, PHP, Java, and Perl Legacy APIs are IPv6 compatible and can be used with GeoLite Legacy IPv6 databases; GeoIP Legacy databases do not contain IPv6 data. All GeoIP2 Client APIs are IPv6 compatible.

CMG Worldwide and CARD.com Introduce a New James Dean Banking Experience: Making Shopping Cool Again With an Iconic VISA Prepaid Debit Card
Indianapolis, Indiana and Santa Monica, California, USA - October 11, 2013 - CMG Worldwide, licensor of the James Dean brand, today announced a strategic partnership with the prepaid debit card provider CARD.com to bring a very special line of Visa debit cards to the U.S. market-all featuring the soulful rebel without a cause.

The growing trend in prepaid cards is increasingly embraced by leading financial institutions such as Chase and American Express, and retailers such as Wal-Mart, 7-Eleven and Walgreens.

"Consumers make purchasing choices every day, from what to buy, to their method of payment, and Card.com provides an opportunity to personalize the experience with a wide variety of prepaid debit card designs," said Clare Neumann, IP Licensing Executive & Legal Counsel at CMG. "We are excited to open this option to the James Dean fans, and this partnership gives consumers more options-not just in terms of what kind of card they're using at the register, but also the artistic image on the card and the financial institution sponsoring that card."
"This partnership gives James Dean fans an entirely new way to pay, said CEO and co-founder of Card.com, Ben Katz. "People are looking for a new way to bank, free of the traditional banking system. We're here to give them what they want." Katz continues, "Our goal is to provide an easy-to-use, affordable banking experience that reflects the individual passions of consumers."
The James Dean debit card can be used everywhere Visa is accepted, it is 100% FDIC insured and offers a fully featured online banking experience, just like traditional branch banking-but without any overdraft or late fees.

How Manufacturers Can Adapt To Shareholder Environmental ConcernsApril 7, 2014 11:15 am | by Patrick Daugherty, Foley & Lardner LLP | Comments
Concern about the environmental impact of manufacturing is growing. The long-term success of a manufacturer may depend, in part, on its strategies for sustainability — but these strategies are not created and perpetuated in a vacuum. Increased shareholder activism regarding sustainability has the potential to affect any public company's approach.

Where B2B, E-Commerce And Payments IntersectMarch 10, 2014 10:11 am | by Joel Hans, Managing Editor, Manufacturing.net | Comments
While B2B and B2C e-commerce buying may share a common shopping and check-out experience, the under-the-hood fundamentals are not the same — the ways that a company might implement the right features in each situation, while generating the highest return on investment (ROI) possible, depends, in many ways, upon those internal functions. And the prospect of making the right B2B decision still stumps many companies.

7700 Las Vegas Blvd S, Las Vegas, NV | Directions 8912336.049613 -115.172224
Monday To Sunday From 12:00 AM To 12:00 AM
Neighborhoods: Enterprise
EAT HERE NOW! – We chose Bootlegger Bistro as the venue for a small dinner reception following our wedding. I could not be happier with the entire experience. Our ceremony ran over and we didn't arrive at the restaurant until 30 minutes after our reservation. The staff was understanding and able to seat our party of 14 right away. (This was a Tuesday evening) We were given two servers and had an additional person constantly monitoring our water, and quickly removing plates. The service was outstanding - prompt, professional, and friendly. They cut the wedding cake we had delivered to the restaurant and our waiter even set aside some of the non-edible cake decorations for us to bring home. (how thoughtful!!) The food...ah...the food. Wow. Everyone who dined with us had the same opinion. My father even went as far as to say the steak he ordered was the BEST HE EVER HAD...ever! The ambiance was romantic and fun, the drinks were poured perfectly. I can not say enough about this place! I will absolutely return here everytime we are in Vegas - possibly even more than once per visit! It really was that spectacular. Thank you for making our special day even more amazing, cannot wait to return!
HORRIBLE Customer Service – Food might have been good, but was too distracted by the horrible service! Complained to the manager, Justin Thompson, who laughed when we told him that the wrong food was brought out to us and that our drinks had been wrong as well and that we had been charged for changing the drinks. He found the bad service "funny" apparently. Told him we would never return, and again - laughter! Thinks it's funny to lose a customer!
My recommendation: Vegas has so many wonderful restaurants that you shouldn't waste your time going to this one! Go to one where customer service and satisfaction mean something! The Bootlegger just doesn't care!
best manicotti and red sauce – This was the best manicotti I have had anywhere......and the red sauce was really fresh tasting......excellent....the red wines by the glass were really good too.....a lovely old school family restaurant with atttentive service.....whenever I go to Vegas I go there. Great for birthday celebrations especially in August.
Best restaurant in Vegas, by far!!! – Everything was excellent. Definately the best meal both my husband and I have had in a long time. It was a Friday night and we had about a 10-15 minute wait (not bad). The waiter was very knowledgable, very friendly and came by frequently to see if we needed anything. The food was absolutely delicious, everything was sooooo tasty. Overall, it is the best restaurant I have been to in Las Vegas.
Owner was Rude – I used to eat here many times over the years and one time a
chicken dish I had ordered many times didn't taste right, I told
the waitress but then "Loraine Hunt" would not allow me to order anything else saying her mother was the cook and that
she would do nothing about it. I had exchanged words because all I wanted was something different or it to be taken
off the check. She was so rude and we never went back. We
paid the check which we really should have deducted the one meal but didn't.
ok for a late meal – not the greatest place for italian food, it is open 24/7 thats a plus, the food was not horrible, but i would not say it was good,the sevice was a bit out of it, had to ask over and over for my drink,it's cheep, the food comes out fast and not the worst italian food, would i go there for a meal at 8:00 pm, probably not, but at 3:30 am it's not so bad
Simple, Italian favorites are served at this cozy, family-owned restaurant. – In Short
Business types, families and couples enjoy meals in a low-lit dining room with a dark wood U-shaped bar and wood wall paneling. Black-and-white photographs adorn the walls and tell the stories of those involved in the restaurant, past and present. The menu is vast with pastas, salads, sandwiches, pizza and calzones. But regulars often order the simple spaghetti and meatballs. All entrees are served in large portions and made using generations-old recipes.
mel g – Best meatballs and sauce in town, I would recommend this place to anyone. Very affordable for families. Also try and guess the names of some of the pictures on the walls.
Nice, use to impress – The place was very nice. And the atmosphere was romantic but not too romantic. But also it had a very elegant feel to it. My gripe is that everything was over priced. Bottles of wine for $20 that sale in stores for 7 or $9. Steaks for $30 not sure it was worth it. But the atmosphere makes up for it. They also have live wonderful music everynight.

text: President Signs Corporate Tax Bill Bill touts energy-related tax credits, reform of tobacco subsidies and the repeal of a WTO non-compliant tax code. Compiled by staff Published on: Oct 22, 2004 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print President George Bush signed into law H.R. 4520, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, on board Air Force One Friday morning. The legislation is packed with goodies for agriculture, including a repeal of the extraterritorial income inclusion in current tax law that has allowed the European Union to put sanctions on U.S. agricultural goods. It also promotes job growth and benefits rural communities. The corporate tax bill includes both the Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax Credit (VEETC) provision and biodiesel tax incentives. The VEETC provision will extend to 2010 an existing tax incentive for using ethanol-blended gasoline, and will re-direct funds generated by an excise tax on ethanol to the highway trust fund (HTF). The biodiesel incentive provision creates a new tax credit of $1 per gallon for agri-biodiesel, and 50 cents per gallon for biodiesel (recycled oil). "Biodiesel holds great hope to help reduce our dependence on foreign oil and improve our environment," says Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. "The President's signature will begin the process of making that hope a reality. The tax credits for biodiesel and other renewable fuels included in my JOBS bill will allow us to begin looking to farmers, rather than the Middle East, to fuel our future." "With a biodiesel tax incentive on the books, demand for biodiesel will increase dramatically," says American Soybean Association President Neal Bredehoeft, a soybean farmer from Alma, Mo. "For every 100 million gallons of soy-based biodiesel demand, the price of a bushel of soybeans is expected to increase by 10 cents. That could add an average of another $2,000 to the bottom line of farmers growing 500 acres of soybeans." Some elements of the small ethanol producer tax credit provision are also included in the bill. Specifically, the bill allows the tax credit to be passed through to the farmer owners of a cooperative, and allows the tax credit to be offset against the alternative minimum tax. "We thank President Bush for signing this important piece of legislation into law," says Leon Corzine, NCGA president and Illinois corn grower. "He kept his promise to corn growers by continuing to support expansion of the ethanol industry and the use of renewable fuels. Communities across the United States -- not just in rural areas -- will benefits from this bill."

LORAIN -- More than 70 Internet sweepstakes cafes glitter across Lorain County, but a bill that recently passed by the Ohio House of Representatives could shut down most of them if it becomes law.
HB 605 would make it illegal for sweepstakes businesses to reward cash or prizes valued at more than $10 to customers, essentially a death knell for a business, which walks a legal line between gaming and gambling by referring to winnings as pre-determined promotional sweepstakes.
The bill passed 63-30 and could be voted on by the state Senate as early as next week.
Ohio has more than 819 Internet cafes, and the industry has remained largely unregulated, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said.
"My position is that they are the only form of unregulated gambling in the state of Ohio," DeWine said. "Nothing is being done. They continue to grow and continue to be a consumer rip-off because there is no regulation for them."
DeWine said he supports both HB 605 and HB 195, which would set strict regulations similar to those used by casinos.
The lack of regulations means that Internet sweepstakes cafes do not have to list the odds of winning, they do not have to set payback percentages and their revenue is not monitored, making the businesses "ripe for money laundering," DeWine said. Hundreds of thousands -- possibly millions of dollars -- flow through the businesses each year, he said.
"The current system is just almost a joke," DeWine said.
DeWine said he supports either bill as long as changes are made, but the decision on whether to regulate or do away with the cafes rests with legislators.
But shutting down Internet sweepstakes cafes could take a chunk out of local municipal budgets.
Lorain in 2011 received $90,480 in fees from licensing Internet sweepstakes cafes. The amount this year so far was $77,160, according to figures from Lorain City Auditor Ron Mantini.
"We'll take the money while it's there," Mantini said. "But if the state comes in and regulates it, in a $30 million budget, it's not that much, but it's still $100,000."
North Ridgeville took in $110,000 in fees last year as sweepstakes cafes are charged $5,000 annually per location and $30 a month per machine. North Ridgeville has seven sweepstakes sites, according to DeWine's office.
"We are losing revenue left and right due to cuts to local government funds," North Ridgeville Mayor David Gillock said. "This has been a way to bring in some additional income."
In three years, only two minor issue have resulted, Gillock said. One from a business staying open too late, and the other from a business allowing a felon to be employed, he said.
"Just to outright ban them, doesn't make sense to me," Gillock said. "It is gambling, there is no question in my mind. But we have gambling throughout the state. Let's not use the fact that it is gambling as a negative when we do this everywhere else in the state, let's just regulate it."
The businesses largely attract seniors looking for entertainment, he said.
Retiree General Brown of Lorain visits Oasis Sweepstakes Club, 1724 Henderson Drive, roughly twice a week. He said he never spends more than $20 and he sees it as an entertaining way to spend the afternoon rather than a chance at winning top dollar. The club even creates a sense of community between the patrons by providing a social atmosphere similar to Bingo, Brown said.
Brown said while he does not encourage gambling, he believes that a person should be able to spend their money how they want. If the state allows casinos and racinos, it should allow and regulate sweepstakes cafes in the same way.
"It shouldn't be a monopoly," he said.
Rep. Matt Lundy, of Elyria, voted against the bill, believing the legislature should have pushed for regulation, not termination.
"In my conversations with leaders in the community, it seemed like the Internet cafes have not posed any problems from a safety point of view," Lundy said. "I think it would have been reasonable to say to the Internet cafes that if you want to operate, you have to go operate under similar regulations that we have for casinos."
The decision shows the problem with lame-duck legislative sessions, Lundy said.
"I think this certainly deserves a more fair and reasonable debate," he said. "We could have regulated the cafes like casinos and produced a win-win situation for everyone involved."
The situation would be a loss for Bill Janowich, who owns Mega Nites Telecom Sweepstakes in Vermilion and three other sweepstakes cafes in Westlake, Port Clinton and Milan. He said all four locations would have to shut down if the bill becomes a law. He would have to lay off 30 employees, and he estimated thousands would lose their jobs across the state.
"You build a business, over years, and you run it legally -- it is legitimate -- and they legislate it away," he said. "That's what I don't understand. There was another bill out there, House Bill 195, that responsibly regulates the industry. It put restrictions on it that makes sense."
Janowich said it comes down to a battle between small businesses and lobbyists for the casinos, which Janowich said do not want the competition.
"My people have been with me for four years; they have children in schools; they have food to put on plates; where are they going to end up? They'll be living on food stamps instead of being a productive member of society like they are now," he said.
The decision will come down to the 33 senators who will see the bill for the first time likely next week, Janowich said.
"If you're in favor of sweepstakes cafes, call your Ohio senator and let your voice be heard," he said.

When Anthony Raguso left big-city life behind to become administrator of Thompson Hospital in Canandaigua in 1969, he found the rural lifestyle he was seeking, although the responsibilities of his new job were clearly as challenging as any big hospital. Beginning his tenure when Thompson was on North Main Street, Mr. Raguso during his nearly two decades with Thompson oversaw not only the move to Parrish Street, but the dramatic expansion in buildings and services that followed.
"He was a joy to work for," said Linda Farchione Hawks, Thompson's former president and chief executive officer, whom Mr. Raguso hired as his assistant before his retirement in 1986. Describing Mr. Raguso as upbeat and a gifted leader, Farchione Hawks said he was dedicated to Thompson and the community.
"He made the new hospital happen, and he was so proud of that," she said.
Mr. Raguso — known as a loving family man who enjoyed music (especially jazz), playing harmonica, camping, carpentry, and most of all, spending time with his family — died Feb. 2. He was 89.
"He was a kind and loving father, always concerned for other people," said Mr. Raguso's daughter Rebecca Raguso Snyder.
Mr. Raguso's daughter Joanne Raguso said her father gave her "the greatest gift — the gift of family."
Their father was dedicated not only to his immediate family, but to his extended family as well, the daughters said. "He would always go to the aid of his siblings," said Rebecca. Whether it was help buying a car or doing a household project or repair, their dad was the person their family could always count on, the daughters said.
"As everyone who knew him knows, he took great pleasure talking with people, joking, telling stories and generally socializing at every opportunity," said Mr. Raguso's son, Bartley Raguso. "He felt everyone had something of value to share, and he was always eager to listen."
Born on July 4, 1924, in New Castle, Pa., Mr. Raguso's ambition and compassion led him to serve in World War II in a field hospital MASH unit, finish high school after the war and get a college degree. On May 16, 1948 he married Josephine, who remained his sweetheart for 66 years. After earning a graduate degree in social work from University of Pittsburgh, he took the position of medical social worker at Montefiore Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pa., where he rose to senior administrator before he and his family moved to Canandaigua.
At Thompson, under Mr. Raguso's leadership, the hospital saw the addition and expansion of a nursing home; a physicians office building; a pediatric wing; a medical-surgical floor; and additional acute-care beds. Medical specialities also came on the scene in a range of areas, including emergency medicine, orthopedics, gastroenterology and cardiology
"He was supportive, easy to work with and dedicated to Thompson Hospital and making its nursing home the best," said Dick Appel, who was Thompson's director of development before Mr. Raguso retired. "He was pleasant, a good listener and very supportive as we plotted new ground."
Page 2 of 2 - Mickey Sands, whose husband, the late Marvin Sands, was president of the hospital's Board of Directors during Mr. Raguso's tenure, said, "Marvin thought the world of Tony and had the greatest respect for him."
In citing Mr. Raguso's accomplishments for a Thompson newsletter when Mr. Raguso retired, Mr. Sands said that in "his uniquely modest manner, Tony has been a most industrious leader. The many changes and improvements that have taken place at Thompson Hospital dating from the old hospital on Main Street 17 years ago have been monumental. Although many other people can proudly share credit for much of this progress, the major portion deservedly should be attributed to Tony …."

Let me get this right you have 2 boilers and they want to use one or the other at different times.
If there both closed systems you just need to put in 2 check valves and use 2 pumps. This would be coming off the hot side of the boilers. The return would go to witch ever one was sucking the water. This would work the same on a open loop system.
You could use Water to Water Plate Heat Exchanger. But that would also be fun to describe. But it would not be too hard to draw out. The heat exchanger IMOP is not the way to go.

After handling Delaware on Wednesday 64-50, James Madison will put a four-game home winning streak on the line when it hosts Old Dominion at 4 p.m. on Saturday afternoon in a Colonial Athletic Association game in the Convocation Center.
The game will have live television coverage on Comcast SportsNet Mid-Atlantic, Philadelphia and New England as well as Comcast/Charter Sports Southeast (CSS). It will be the final currently scheduled visit by ODU to the Convo and the final meeting before the Monarchs join Conference USA.
The Dukes (10-10, 4-3 CAA), who have won three of their last five games, are in the midst of a stretch that features five home games within 15 days. JMU is 6-2 when playing in Harrisonburg. It's also 1-0 against the Monarchs (2-16, 0-6 CAA) after defeating them in Norfolk 58-55 on January 2.
The Dukes' win at ODU is the only true road victory the team has earned this season, going 0-7 in all other road games. JMU carries a 3-1 record in neutral court games.
Senior forward Rayshawn Goins will likely play a large role in the upcoming game after posting a 15-point, 13-rebound stat line in Wednesday's win over Delaware. Goins has averaged 17.5 points over the home win streak, 3.1 points over his average this season. Goins' 14.4 points per game is 11th best in the CAA. His 7.8 rebounds per game currently ranks seventh.
Freshman guard Andre Nation will look to get involved on Saturday after a strong first outing against the Monarchs. Nation stuffed the stat sheet with five points, four rebounds, four assists, two steals and a block on January 2.
Nation and redshirt senior counterpart Devon Moore combined for 22 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists on Wednesday. Moore missed the first game between the Dukes and the Monarchs due to family reasons.
The Monarchs have struggled this year, dropping six straight games since a December 22 neutral site game (63-61) played against the University of Virginia at the Richmond Coliseum. ODU's CAA losses have come at home against JMU, Delaware and Georgia State and on the road at George Mason and UNCW.
ODU is anchored by North Carolina State transfer DeShawn Painter, a 6'9" center averaging 11.3 points and 7.8 rebounds per game. He scored 14 points and 13 rebounds in the first matchup against JMU. He has recorded five double-doubles this season and has scored at least 11 points in eight of his last 10 games.

Multiple Births Increase Risk for Type 2 DiabetesPosted: Thursday, November 30, 2006
Women with five or more live births are at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus. This appears to be the case, even after adjusting for obesity and socioeconomic factors.
Dr. Wanda K. Nicholson and colleagues at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland, came to that conclusion after conducting a prospective, population-based study of more than 7000 Caucasian and African-American women.
The subjects were between 45 and 64 years of age, and mean follow-up was for nine years. They were grouped according to parity, defined as nulliparous (including stillbirths and other non-live births), one to two live births, three to four live births, or grandmultiparous, with five or more live births.
There were 754 incident cases of type 2 diabetes during follow-up. Type 2 diabetes incidence rates were highest among the grandmultiparous, at 23 cases/1,000 person-years and lowest among women with one to two live births, at 11 cases/1,000 person-years.
The researchers acknowledge that the bulk of diabetes risk was due to obesity and lower socioeconomic status. However, after adjusting for these recognized risk factors as well as clinical status, inflammatory markers and lifestyle factors, grandmultiparity remained a risk factor for type 2 diabetes.
Whether the link between high parity and diabetes is biological or due to lifestyle is unknown. The investigators conclude that the association may be better understood after prospective studies of "specific, pregnancy-related weight gain measures, lifestyle factors and changes in socioeconomic status."

I worked at Telegraph Media Group
Pros – I worked at the Telegraph online department for a year and a half. It was very interesting and my colleagues were all dynamic individuals. They seemed committed to innovation and providing a top notch product.
Cons – Sometimes I felt the drive to increase website traffic clouded editorial decisions. Also, during a period of cutbacks I thought management treated the casual workers unfairly (but I may be biased).
Advice to Senior Management – Don't compromise the caliber of the content of the website in the hunt for extra clicks.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
