EUGENE, OR -- After scoring 10 runs on Saturday, the Boise Hawks bats were silenced on Sunday in an 8-1 loss to Eugene.
The Hawks were no-hit through the first five innings and managed only two hits all afternoon.
Boise's lone scoring opportunity came when Pin-Chieh Chen singled in Wes Darvill in the sixth, to make it a 3-1 ball game.
The Ems broke the game open in the eighth when they sent eleven players to the plate, tallying four hits, and five runs to make it an 8-1 game, and that's how it would end.
Boise is 1-2 on the season and the Hawks continue their series on the road Monday at Eugene with first pitch set for 8 p.m. mountain time.

Online Community Unconfernece, Next Wednesday, June 6th
I'll be there (along with my colleagues Chrystie Hill and Rachel Van Noord). You can come too, as they still apparently have a few open slots. Some big/interesting names will be there AND it is at the Computer History Museum (!!!) so if online community is your bag, you love them 'puters and can swing the $$$, you might seriously consider it!
"The Online Community Unconference is a gathering of online community practitioners – managers, developers, business people, tool providers, investors – to discuss experience and strategies in the development and growth of online communities.
Those involved in online community development (and social software in general) share many common challenges: community management, tools, marketing, business models, legal issues. As we have found with our past events, the best source of information on all of these challenges is other knowledgeable practitioners.
The Online Community Unconference is inspired by the emerging "open space" conference format. (For an excellent description, see this News.com article on a past MashUp Camp.) There will also be plenty of time for networking.
The Computer History Museum in Mountain View is a unique venue with plenty of parking and WiFi. Lunch and snacks will be provided, and the Museum exhibits will be open to the group during the breaks.
Price: $195 ($175 before May 12). Space is limited. Fee is fully refundable prior to May 24, not refundable after (but admission is transferable)."

Once a dusty cattle-market town, Liberia has galloped toward modernization, becoming the commercial, as well as the administrative capital, of Guanacaste. There are still a few vestiges of its colonial past on quieter side streets and the occasional sabanero (cowboy) on horseback still ambles into town. But Liberia has virtually become one big shopping mall, complete with fast-food restaurants—dueling McDonald's and Burger King face off at the entrance to town—and a multiplex theater. Walk a couple of blocks south of the main street along Calle Real, though, and you can still find some whitewashed adobe houses for which Liberia was nicknamed the "White City," as well as some grand town houses that recall the city's glory days. A few have been restored and are now hotels and cafés. Liberia today is essentially a good place to have a meal and make a bank stop at any one of a dozen banks, including Scotiabank, Citibank, and HSBC. Liberia can also serve as a base for day trips to Santa Rosa and Rincón de la Vieja national parks. The drive from San José takes between four and five hours, so it makes sense to fly directly into Liberia if you're going only to the North Pacific. It's easy to rent a car near the airport.
Navigating Liberia
The avenidas (avenues) officially run east-west, whereas the calles (streets) run north-south. Liberia is not too big to walk easily, but there are always taxis lined up around the pleasant central park.

The Nevada Wolf Pack men's basketball team has been a thrill ride this season.
"It's been a roller coaster," Pack head coach David Carter said this week.
Right now the Pack roller coaster is stuck in a valley. The Wolf Pack will bring its first three-game losing streak in two years with them to Fresno State when they take on the Bulldogs tonight (7 p.m.) at the Save Mart Center.
Carter, despite his Wolf Pack sitting in last place in the Mountain West at 0-2 (9-7 overall), isn't calling the game a must-win situation.
"It's not do or die," Carter …

Multivitamins May Protect Men Against CancerMultivitamins May Protect Men Against CancerMen taking the multivitamin were diagnosed with 8% fewer cancers overallMany Westerners are concerned that they may not be getting all the nutrients they need everyday for optimal health, which has made multivitamins a popular choice for many people. Study results on multivitamins often conflict, with some showing benefits, and others finding either no benefit or even potential harm. Now, much-anticipated results from a large, randomized, controlled trial of multivitamins have been released, and this one falls on the side of benefit, showing a modest but significant decrease in cancer occurrence for men who take a basic, daily multivitamin.
The ideal study population
Researchers randomly selected 14,641 male physicians to receive a daily multivitamin-mineral supplement or placebo for approximately 11 years. The physicians were 50 years or older, and 9% had a previous history of cancer. Other factors, including age, height and weight, tobacco and alcohol use, diet, other medications, and family history of cancer were similar in the supplement and placebo groups.
The multivitamin provided around 100% of the daily value for most essential vitamins and minerals, with a few exceptions. It contained no iron, and for vitamins E and B12, the multivitamin provided significantly more than 100% of the daily value. For vitamin K, biotin, calcium, magnesium, and chromium, it provided significantly less than 100%. The supplement contained some additional nutrients, including lutein and lycopene.
Moderate multivitamin, less total cancer
Men taking the multivitamin were diagnosed with 8% fewer cancers overall than men in the placebo group.
There were no significant differences between the supplement and placebo groups in terms of specific cancer types, such as prostate and colorectal cancers. There were no significant differences in the risk of death due to cancer between the two groups.
Finding balance
The study multivitamin was similar to "common," moderate-dose products available in any supermarket or pharmacy. Given that past studies have suggested multivitamins may increase cancer risk, these findings are reassuring. However, according to lead study author Dr. J. Michael Gaziano, "It would be a big mistake for people to go out and take a multivitamin instead of quitting smoking or doing other things that we have a higher suspicion play a bigger role, like eating a good diet and getting exercise."
Keep this in mind as you consider our tips on creating your own cancer risk reduction plan:
- Be modest. Steer clear of mega-doses, and follow the American Cancer Society's advice: eat a balanced diet, and if you take a supplement, choose a balanced multivitamin that contains no more than 100% of the daily value of most nutrients.
- Seek the experts. A person's diet may get out of balance for a variety of reasons, such as illness, nutrient depletion or malabsorption caused by a drug, medical condition, food intolerance, or allergy. If this describes you, discuss your diet with your doctor or dietitian to identify specific nutrients that may be missing.
- Consider context. The study population was healthy, older males, most of whom don't smoke, and many of whom eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly. If you smoke, are obese, or have additional risk factors for cancer, heart disease, or other chronic disease, these findings may not apply to you.
- Get bang for your buck. Regardless of whether you take a multivitamin, you can never go wrong by adopting basic cancer prevention strategies: avoid tobacco, drink alcohol modestly or not at all, move regularly, eat plenty of vegetables and fruit, use sunscreen consistently, and maintain a healthy body weight.

A motorcyclist is charged in the drunk driving death of another biker during last month's Harley-Davidson Fall Ride at Tomahawk. 50-year-old Lynette Haman Elkhorn is due in Oneida County Circuit Court November 18th. She's charged with two felony counts of causing homicide by drunk driving, and with a prohibited blood alcohol content.

Homes prices in some northern counties are not quite keeping pace with the rest of the state.
The Wisconsin Realtors Association says statewide, median home prices went up almost eight percent in the first three quarters of this year. But in Forest County, prices dropped almost 40 percent.
Dave Clark, economist for the Wisconsin Realtors Association, says don't panic. Statistics in the northern part of the state tend to be more volatile. There's a smaller dataset and a wider mix of the types of homes that sell from year to year.
State Senator Tom Tiffany of Hazelhurst and three Northwoods members of the Assembly are hosting listening sessions October 28 through the 30th.
Tiffany will be joining Rob Swearingen, Jeff Mursau and Mary Czaja.
Tiffany says the 12th Senate District is among the largest geographically in the state with a diverse set of issues.
With ATV deaths hitting a high mark this year, ATV safety certification may be more important than ever.
Oneida County Sheriff's Department helps put on ATV safety classes four times a year. Deputy Brad Fogerty says his classes emphasize rules and regulations.
"Rules of the road. And what causes the majority of the crashes. In every class I pull out the fatality sheet, and we actually go through each of them, and look at, this is how people are getting hurt, this is how people are dying riding an ATV. And a lot of it is just basic safety rules.
The Eagle River Police Department is getting a loan to pay for renovations. Police chief Mark Vander Bloomen says the department wants to create more space for evidence storage. Right now there's just one small room.
"We identified that we've basically used up our evidence storage area. We're running out of room. A lot of that has to do with DNA evidence – we're having to keep certain kinds of evidence for longer periods of time."

I wonder if the crashing problems are related to specific phones.
I sort of suspect that the older, less powerful phones are the ones having the force close and crashing troubles. That would explain why my friend's G1 crashes almost every time he tries to use it, while my Evo has rarely crashed at all.

2146 Miamisburg Centerville Rd, Dayton, OH | Directions 4545939.633832 -84.209069
Great food, great experience! – The staff was very friendly--- we went during their "Prime Time" hours, they were rather busy, but still made sure everyone was properly taken care of! The soup was less flavorful than expected, but from what I've discussed with "regular customers", that was a very rare occurrence. The hibachi chefs were very entertaining! Although it does seem to be pricey for the amount of food you get, you're also paying for both the experience and the overall quality of the food.... which both are AWESOME! Highly recommend!
Great place for singles, families, and exotic food lovers. – One of the best Japanese Steakhouses I have been to, and I have been to many throughout the US. The chefs are wonderful, and have great showmanship. The food is freshly prepared and delicious. I eat here all the time, never had any issues with staff or the food. They are wonderful. Lunch price is always better just to make sure you like that sort of food, they have great sushi too. I love the Filet, Scallops, Shrimp, and Chicken. If your looking for a great meal and a good show go to SAKE! :)
TERRIBLE service, mediocre food, will never go back – My husband and I had lunch with my parents for lunch on a Saturday at Sake. We have eaten at this restaurant at least two other times in the past, but this time the service was terrible. First, there was confusion between my mom and the waitress about the description of the "sushi lunch" because the waitress spoke little English. The waitress was unable to tell my mom whether or not the sushi lunch was served with sashimi (which I find very odd for a Japanese restaurant waitress...) The the waitress argued with us about whether or not rice was served with lunch entrees (the menu specifically stated that all entrees were served with rice, but the waitress denied it). Of the 4 of us, 3 of our entrees arrived out promptly, followed by our appetizers (which we had ordered about 10 minutes prior to our entrees). When my mom realized that the waitress had served her sashimi (which she does NOT eat), another waiter came over to explain the situation. He just shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, that's too bad". He told my mom that they could not fix her order because her food was already made, and that what she was served was what she would get. I was infuriated! My mom hadn't touched any of her food, and it was not her fault that the waitress could not explain the contents of the popular "sushi lunch". What happened to CUSTOMER SERVICE? There were only two other parties in the entire restaurant at the time, so their lack of caring was not because they were busy. Not only did they mess up my mom's order, they forgot parts of my order as well. I will never return to this restaurant because it's obvious they DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS. I would recommend trying Thai 9 (downtown) for sushi instead.

Sunday, February 26, 2012We have stayed at Best Western Hotels earlier and this did not dissapoint. The location is excellent - quite close to the Chataeu d'Eau metro and 2 stations away from Gare Du Nord. We had reserved through fastbooking.com and the reception had our room ready upon arrival. The hotel has a lift. Our room was located on the first floor overlooking the street but we did not hear any noise. The heaters were perfect and the room was clean and warm. The room also included free Wifi - the wifi access code was given to us at the reception upon arrival. The Breakfast spread was very nice. We requested for Tea/coffee making facilities in our room and they were quickly arranged. We interacted with 3 different people at the reception and they were all very friendly and helpful. All in all a very convenient and friendly hotel.
Tuesday, February 18, 2014The stay was good. Thanks.

Conditions that Convert a TEACH Grant to a Direct Unsubsidized Loan
A TEACH Grant that you received will be converted into a Direct Unsubsidized Loan under any of the following conditions:
- You request that your TEACH Grant be converted to a loan for any reason (for example, you have decided that you do not want to be a teacher).
- You did not complete the program for which you received a TEACH Grant, and within 120 days of ceasing enrollment you failed to notify your TEACH Grant servicer that:
- You are employed as a full-time teacher in accordance with the requirements described in your TEACH Grant Agreement to Serve (ATS); or
- You are not yet employed as a full-time teacher in accordance with the requirements described in your ATS, but you intend to meet the terms and conditions of your TEACH Grant service obligation.
- You did not complete the program for which you received a TEACH Grant, and within one year after you cease enrollment:
- You have not been determined eligible for suspension of the eight-year period for completing your service obligation;
- You have not reenrolled in a program for which you would be eligible to receive a TEACH Grant; or
- You have not begun qualifying teaching service as described previously.
- You completed the academic program for which you received a TEACH Grant, but do not confirm to your TEACH Grant servicer at least once each year that you intend to satisfy your service obligation.
- You completed the academic program for which you received a TEACH Grant, but do not begin or maintain qualifying employment as a teacher that would allow you to complete your required four years of employment within the maximum eight year period. For example, if more than four years have elapsed since you completed a program for which you received a TEACH Grant and you have not yet begun qualifying teaching service, you would not be able to complete the required four years of teaching within eight years of completing the program.
Other Conditions for Converting a TEACH Grant into a Direct Unsubsidized Loan
In addition to the conditions previously listed, other conditions that prevent you from completing your TEACH Grant service obligation (other than one of the conditions that would qualify you for a discharge of your obligation) could cause your TEACH Grant to be converted to a loan.
For example, a felony conviction (either in the past or in the future) could prevent you from being employed as a teacher, and you would then be unable to complete your service obligation.
In the event that your TEACH Grant is converted to a Direct Unsubsidized Loan, the loan will be serviced by your Federal Loan servicer. Your Federal Loan servicer will provide correspondence regarding your loan(s), including both toll-free phone number and Web site information for your new servicer.

"We all know what happened at SMS, and we came together, waiting to put on something nice," said Thomas Monarrez, regional food and beverage manager for PT's Entertainment Group, a company that supplies restaurants such as Sierra Gold Tavern and Sparky's sports bar. "We put our heads together and came up with this dinner, with all the proceeds going to the SMS Compassion Fund. We've been planning this for three weeks and everything is just falling into place."
The dinner will be held Saturday, starting at 4 p.m. Monarrez suggests coming early to find a good seat. Tickets for the fundraising dinner are $20 per person. Each person will receive an appetizer, prime rib, a salad, a dessert and one nonalcoholic beverage. There will be a cocktail hour from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., which will feature a full bar. There will also be doors prize raffled off. Prizes are donated by Carson City's Fandango Casino, Famous Dave's, and area Scolari's stores. The staff from Murrieta's Restaurant and Cantina, owned by Jose Mendoza, will be cooking and and serving the meals.
"There are all these competing businesses coming together, working together," said Roger Edwards, managing partner at Sparks' Outback Steakhouse, which is contributing all the prime rib for the benefit dinner. "It's a great thing. Sparks is such a special community."
The dinner will be held at the Veterans of Foreign Wars building, located at 255 VFW Historic Lane in Reno.
"We thought it was fitting to have the dinner there, with Michael Landsberry being a veteran," said Monarrez. "I was in the army and Roger was in the navy. Michael was a brother in arms and this ties everything together. We have a direct bond."
Margaret Stewart, the communications director for the Community Foundation of Western Nevada will speak about the Compassion Fund and its contributions to Sparks Middle School. The JROTC of Reed High School will be marching and assisting with the serving and clean-up.
After October's shooting at Sparks Middle School that resulted in the death of math teacher Michael Landsberry, the Community Foundation of Western Nevada created a special fund exclusively for the school's students.
"The fund helps these kids who are struggling, not just exclusively for the direct victims of the school shooting," said Monarrez. "This fund can help with schooling or buying clothes or getting some medical help. Children are our future and we should help them out."
For those who cannot attend the dinner, Monarrez asks them to make a contribution online.
"Jose is a mentor at Sparks Middle School" said Monarrez. " This event for him is so touching. The more we can do for the young folks, the better the Sparks community will become."
For more information about the Sparks Middle School Compassion Fund, please call Thomas Monarrez at (775) 233-4377. For more information about donating to the Washoe County School District Compassion funds, visit www.nevadafund.org.

Healthspan's Ginkgo & Ginseng is a synergistic combination of two popular herbal products in one convenient tablet.
The Ginkgo biloba is the world's longest living tree species, having survived in China for over 200 million years. The leaves of the tree contain the active antioxidant compounds, flavone glycosides. Panax ginseng (also known as Korean Ginseng) represents the original true ginseng with the highest natural potency of the powerful active ingredients, 'ginsenosides'.
Specially formulated by Healthspan´s nutritionists, our tablets contain 60mg of concentrated (10:1) Panax ginseng extract, equivalent to 600mg whole root. This extract has been standardised to contain 20% of the active ingredient of ginseng, ´ginsenosides´. Each tablet therefore contains at least 12mg ginsenosides. Each tablet also contains 60mg of concentrated Ginkgo biloba extract - equivalent to 3000mg of whole leaves. This extract has also been standardised to contain 14.4mg (28%) 'flavone glycosides'.

Once a pipe is used as a drain, it is always a drain. To vent this group, you'd need to run a pipe up above the existing fixtures that drain into the pipe and into their vent. This is at least 42" above the floor of the highest drain or 6" above the highest fixture drain, whichever is higher. Or, you can vent it through the roof on its own.

WEST, Texas - Over mounds of destruction and damaged homes, President Obama circled West before making his way south to Waco for the memorial service.
In West, many who didn't attend the service are still waiting to see what's left of their homes.
As they registered for re-entry at the public library, some paused to watch the memorial service on monitors outside of the community center
Garage doors ripped out of place and piles of fallen bricks mark many of the homes on the northeast side of town. People who live in the area closest to the blast, dubbed zone 3, still haven't been let in; leaving them to only imagine the destruction they'll find.
"He's eager to get in there and see what there is," Roxanne Stoker said, about her son.
Stoker flew in from Iowa to help her son and grandchildren who live in zone 3.
"As a mother, it's horrible to be so far away and get that call," Stoker said.
She said her son is a single dad who only lived in his home on Jane Street for 3-and-a-half weeks
"I had just received a letter form my granddaughter three days before it happened, saying how happy she was to be in the home," Stoker said.
The family isn't sure what's left of the home, but if they have to start over, she says, that's okay.
"For him, he's just so glad to have the girls safe and OK and everything else is second," she said.
The city says crews are working tirelessly to make sure the neighborhoods are safe for re-entry, but can't say what day residents will be able to return.

Patty King entertained her fellow Knox board members at a cocktail supper at her Hillyer High home recently, as they welcomed some of the community's busiest people to their energetic group.
Longtime patron Art Moore and RMC administrator David McCormack are the newest executive board members. Jason Alderman of BB&T, Linda Jenkins of Regions Bank, Tom Potts of Potts Marketing and Jack Swift of Southern States Bank will serve on the advisory board.
The reception was a nice opportunity for this dynamic cadre to relax and visit with fellow board members and their spouses. Also attending were honorary lifetime board members Pete Chalk with his wife Barbara and Glenn Andrews with his wife Joanne.
The buffet table centerpiece was a huge assortment of spring flowers, and the supper, prepared by Classic Catering, featured a raisin-stuffed pork, marinated chicken and pasta salad. Servers passed around bacon-wrapped scallops and mini barbecue sandwiches.
Standing in Patty's pretty living room, Chairman Rick Westbrook toasted the new and senior board members, then used the occasion to throw down the gauntlet for the group to sell out the season during the spring campaign.
So much for relaxing!
But the good news is they did succeed, and the sold-out season opens in October with five-time Grammy Award winner Michael McDonald, a classical performance of the Haifa Symphony Orchestra of Israel, and other great events to be announced.
A few weeks after this delightful gathering, Rick turned over the gavel of chairmanship to Phil Webb at the May meeting of the board at Anniston Country Club. Phil read the long and impressive list of Rick's accomplishments in his two years as chairman, and Mandi King, series president, presented a gift from the board.

Is your kid safe online?A generation ago, the idea of cyber safety didn't even exist. Now, it's more important than ever. Joining Away We Grow host Diane Mizota is Pattie Fitzgerald, founder of Safely Ever After, to talk about how to keep kids safe online.
Kids are starting to use computers and phones early on these days, and parents may wonder what sites are appropriate for what age. Fitzgerald notes that most social media sites have age guidelines in place. "Do your research, find the age-appropriate games and websites, and use the most private settings," she says.
Related: The best Internet browsers for kids
If your children are using social media, Fitzgerald offers a few key tips for keeping them safe:
• Friend your children.
• Know your children's passwords.
• Set up the rules ahead of time.
• Do not let your children accept friends unless they know the other person in the real world.
• Do not allow chat rooms, especially when kids are young.
Related: Internet safety at home
In addition, your children need to be very mindful of the personal information being shared online. Remind your kids that this means more than just their name, address, and phone number. "If you play soccer every Saturday at a specific park, that's personal information," says Fitzgerald.
For kids and teens to create a safe online identity, they should also be careful about their choice of screen name. For example, says Fitzgerald, a screen name like "Katie15NYC" is a poor choice because it shares the child's name, age, and location.
Parents also need to watch for online predators and their typical behavior, including a trick that Fitzgerald refers to as "I'm just like you." She explains that with this approach, "Whatever your child says, the predator says, 'Oh yes, me too.'" Many predators begin with this casual lowering of the child's defenses, she says.
If you think your child might be the target of unwanted attention, watch for some key warning signs. Fitzgerald says, "If my child starts to disengage from the real world, and all of a sudden her online life is more important, that's a child who is more vulnerable." She adds, "If you see gifts arriving, that could mean there's some kind of interaction." Fitzgerald also says to pay attention if kids start talking about websites or chat rooms that don't sound quite right.
If children or teens encounter suspicious behavior online, they should tell a parent immediately, says Fitzgerald. "And parents should not overreact," she adds. "If it is really dangerous or illegal, it should be going right away to law enforcement."
Finally, says Fitzgerald, talk to your kids, and don't shut them off from technology. "It's their world. It's what they know. It's here to stay."

Prescription Diet®
s/d® Feline Dissolution
Bladder Health
Bladder stones are collections of mineral crystals that combine together in the urinary tract. They can cause discomfort and lead to more serious problems that require the care of a veterinarian.
Because the food your cat eats plays an important role in his or her overall health and well-being, Hill's nutritionists and veterinarians have developed clinical nutrition especially formulated to help support your cat's bladder health.
Cats need the right balance of minerals to maintain good bladder health. Excess minerals can encourage the formation of crystals in the urine, which can lead to the creation of bladder stones.
Key Benefits
- Low magnesium to help minimize the build up of this mineral
- High in antioxidants to control cell oxidation and promote a healthy immune system
Additional Info
Bladder Health Warning Signs
- Urinating outside the litter box
- Urinating in new or unusual places
- Frequent attempts to urinate, without producing much urine
- Straining to urinate, or urinating in a tense, hunched posture
- Behavior changes such as restless, listlessness or hiding away
- Refusing to eat
- Increased grooming or licking of the urinary opening
Feeding Guide
Daily Feeding Guide:
Important Feeding Information
- These amounts are a starting point only. Your cat may need less or more food to maintain proper weight. Adjust as needed. If you are unsure, ask your veterinarian.
- With your veterinarian's approval, mix increasing amounts of your cat's new food with decreasing amounts of the old food over a 7-day period.
- Prescription Diet® formulas are available in a wide variety of dry foods and treats for your cat's unique needs, and canned foods with delicious flavors your cat will love. Supplementation with other foods or treats is unnecessary and may decrease the effectiveness of the food. When using with dry food and treats, decrease the amount of canned food to avoid overfeeding.
- Keep fresh water available at all times!
- For best results, have your veterinarian monitor your cat's condition.

Four-Fold Increase for Chronic Liver Disease for Type 1'sPosted: Saturday, November 24, 2012
Among a longitudinal cohort of 4,644 patients with type 1 diabetes, researchers in the United Kingdom used a computer database to identify 57 (1.2%) who had undergone 82 liver biopsies. Each was gender-matched with insulin-treated (n=57) and noninsulin-treated type 2 diabetes patients (n=57). Both type 2 diabetes groups also had undergone liver biopsy.
In the type 2 diabetes cohort (n=9,571), 270 patients (2.8%) underwent 301 liver biopsies. Compared with both type 2 diabetes arms, type 1 diabetes patients had lower occurrence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (OR=0.35; 95% CI, 0.15-0.82), but they showed higher diagnoses of glycogenosis (OR=9.1; 95% CI, 1.10-75.75).
Researchers said 14 type 1 diabetes patients were diagnosed with cirrhosis during follow-up, which equated to a prevalence of at least 301.5 (170-520) per 100,000 individuals compared with an estimated cirrhosis prevalence of 76.3/100,000 (OR=3.96; 95% CI, 2.24-7.01) in the general UK population. Type 1 diabetes patients displayed a lower diagnosis rate of cirrhosis than type 2 diabetes patients using insulin (OR=0.46; 95% CI, 0.23-0.91) and type 2 nonusers (OR=0.42; 95% CI, 0.21-0.84).
Twenty-two type 1 diabetes patients (38.6%) who had liver biopsy died during follow-up, which equated to an estimated crude death rate of 6,539/100,000 person-years, compared with an anticipated 1,878/100,000 person-years based on the National Diabetes Mortality Analysis 2007-08.
"A patient with type 1 diabetes is at a significant risk of developing liver disease, and I don't think that was something that was previously realized," David J. Harman, PhD, hepatology research fellow at Nottingham Digestive Diseases Centre Biomedical Research Unit in England, said, adding that, "Prospective cohorts are needed to confirm this data and for new algorithms to develop type 1 diabetes. But I think this is the first step in demonstrating that they're at substantial risk of liver disease as well as their type 2 diabetes colleagues."

Comments On Dec 29, 2011:This works as intended. I have used it to change out MX, street bike, and go-kart tires.

Comments On Nov 30, 2010:When this arrived in the mail, I shook my head at first. But after I went to work on the first tire, this lightweight bead breaker got the job done. It helped to spray down the bead with WD-40, it seemed to help the bead break and it went smoothly after that.

Comments On Aug 14, 2010:It is very small very easy to use. Save money and have one in your tool box or on the go. Highly recommended.

Comments On Jul 26, 2010:I just changed my OEM tires with the help of this bead popper. It is a little labor intensive. One pass wasn't enough on either the right or left side of the rim. You'll have to be patient and work the bead off the wheel / rim. I found that after about three passes on both sides the beads came off very easily. I recommend the usage of a mallet. This bead popper is strong but using a hammer could very easily break it, your hand, or damage your wheel / rim. Mallets are much more forgiving should you miss the bead popper. I hit my hand twice (ouch). It would have been much worse if I were using a hammer.

Comments On Jun 15, 2010:this tool works exactly as described it gets the tire off the bead. you need a dead blow hammer according to the instructions do you dont damage it and I used a rubber mallet that worked fine ..

Neighborhoods: Brentwood, West LA
LOVED IT. Incredible View, Chef, Entertainment, Service! – My friend Bryan (a former Angeleno who now resides in Kauai) called me to say that he had gone with friends on a friday night to West atop the Angeleno Hotel and had such a great time that he wanted to invite a group of us to join him the following Saturday. Turns out Jeff West (formerly of Spago's) is the GM. As soon as I heard that I knew we were going to have a great experience. The view in one of the best in LA over looking the entire city, you are greeted by Jeff (who in my opinion is one of the best restaurateur's in LA) and he introduced us to Chef, Matthew Wolf. There were 5 of us and we each had a different entree. Everything was delicious. We had a great waitress from Texas who served us with her Southern hospitality. They have a wonderful cabaret singer who keeps it fun after a great meal. This is a great place for a romantic evening or if your single it has a lot to offer. Bar area was fun. CHECK IT OUT.
Warning: don't park here. – Valets in LA are usually kinds rough on cars, but these guys scraped up the passenger-side pretty badly, and then refused to pay for it. They had me fill out a bunch of forms, but it ended up being just for show. Not the first time these guys have damaged cars, either. Bar is ok, but not worth it in the end. IF YOU DON'T WANT YOUR CAR DAMAGED, DON'T PARK HERE.
Will not return – We thought we would give it a go and stop in for beautiful scene, drinks and apps last night . The view steals the show and the music was pleasant. The loungs WAS NOT busy and after waiting nearly 15 minutes for service we finally ordered drinks and apps from the bar and had it delivered to our table. Our server disappeared, never to be seen again, so our desire for more drinks and apps went unsatisfied. Realizing that this lounge is more self service style wishing to be something more we chose to leave and spend our time and money elsewhere. What a shame to have such a wonderful location and view of the city and then waste it away on below par service and average food. We will most certainly not return or suggest this establishment as a place to visit.
Worse customer service I've ever experienced! – I took my girlfriend there for Valentine's and had the worst experience. First the hostess was rude when she didn't bother to greet, then she took us the a table where our table is squeezed between four other tables, we had to whisper so the couples next to us wouldn't hear us. Then we had the waiter approach us in about 10 minutes after we've sat down, after he brought our bread and butter, we had to wait an additional 15 minutes for the waiter to arrive again and take our dinner order when he was just standing around and checking out everyone, wtf? Then we had a different waiter to serve us but he was acting like a total dueshe if you know what i mean. So me and my gf got really angered and left the restaurant and complained to the manager about how its a simple formula for any business to succeed is customer service and how his restaurant employees are just a bunch of inconsiderate a-holes. Ive never walked out of a restaurant in my life so you can imagine how awful it was especially on Valentine's day. Only good thing about the place is its design, but its not the worth the hassle you will get from their pathetic service.
go here – i totally recommend this spot. on top of their incredible drink specials, they have a super friendly staff and to be at this place at sunset is just incredible. the views and colors that come through are the best for any setting. highly recommend this place as a date spot though.
Citysearch Editorial Review – No, that's not the Capitol Records building you're looking at. Situated at the penthouse level of the Hotel Angeleno--that spiraling column of a building overlooking the 405 freeway--this darkly hued room is a genuine getaway in the city. So what if the lights are so low that you can barely read the menu? All you'll really want to see are the panoramic views from the floor-to-ceiling glass walls. (Those with vertigo, take heed: Better to opt for one of the cozy banquettes or tables along the interior walls than one of the window-grazing tables.) Unlike its previous incarnation as a steakhouse, executive chef Marc Boussarie has brought in fresh flavors from the Mediterranean with a New American twist. Starters like the wilted frisee salad with poached egg, pancetta and fingerling potatoes are flavorful and satisfying, while main courses like seared dayboat scallops served alongside violet cauliflower and black trumpets are creative hits. But don't worry meatheads--the steaks are still stellar.
The best "I want to impress you" date restaurant – Its hard to put into words how much I enjoy eating at West. The food and service is spectacular, the maitre de even manages to memorize your name. I highly recommend the fondue; it comes with both caramel and chocolate pots to dip the best selection of fruits, toasted marshmallows and brownies. Delicious!
Great Westside Spot! – To be fair, I went to West on a Monday...and I went EARLY. Like 4:30 PM early. That said, my date and I sat at the window and enjoyed the view. Service was friendly and just good. I love that they serve "gourmet" potato chips at the bar. We got the Tuna tartare appetizer, which was delicious. However, I usually like the tuna to be a bit more chopped up than it was. I was unaware until the bill came that it was happy hour. West does half price drinks from 4-7, which is awesome. The bloody Mary was spicy as hell and my date had a lychee's martini that she just couldn't stop raving about. West is definitely worth checking out.
What's the big deal? – The view is their best asset, food is mediocre at best, service slow. What 's an Italian steakhouse?
Sophisticated Swanky Brentwood Spot – Sophisticated, swanky spot with gorgeous views of Brentwood, modern furniture, great atmosphere... perfect for a date! Very "Hollywood" without the attitude... or commute! Small but decent wine list and good assortment of cockails. The food was just so-so. Was not impressed. Crowd was in the 30s-40s on a Thursday night.

We enjoyed the flick. All were pretty good. However seems all the scences nowdays are too long and repetitive. We also wonder how the guys keep erections so big so long. Our guess is drugs and pumps. What happened to the days when the gals got the guys erect? Seems they are already erect before pants come down.
Our favorite scenes were the Latino gal and the last gal. However the last girl def was not a young girl though did have big tits.
Not so hot or exciting at all. Saw a Roxanne Blaze and liked it so rented this because she was in it. Turned out only 1 lesbian scene with her. Millions is good looker but sex not hot.
All the girls looked nice and setting in mansions, a plus. Performer in 2nd to last scene was the best!
Very old footage. Was not what we expected. The girl in the roller skates was only one we liked. At the end with the credits we saw the year 1991. I thought the title or description mentioned 2007 somewhere. To us a wasted rent.
We both enjoyed most the scenes. Only one with the 2 gals and one guy wasn't that hot. Kept the movie few xtra days.
just ok. if u like boob implants, u pro will like this. storyline good. too much yelling, moaning etc. makes it too unreal. one of babysitters obvious way too old to be one.
Bree 5,Brooke 5,Chanel 4,
sas 3 Gia 1
average is little 4.
Bonus scene with bree looks like when she was a neebie = 4
At first viewing not that exciting but ok. Watched again next nite and we thought scenes got hotter as they went. By the time we saw the last sence with 6 gals, it was super hot, too hot actually. We didn't finish the last 5 mins cus we were busy ourselves ! The last scene all 6 girls bend over and get good action from behind from the guys taking turns. Hot ! HOt Hot
First scene "P" does 2 guys but not DP.Next her husband does a reporter. (Not exciting) Our favorite scene was when the professor gave "Young P" a lesson. That's what earned 4 stars. The scene with 3 gals we fast forwarded.
"P"'s boobs were implants but not balloned out like some. Biggens !
Very nice looking girls but not much sizzle. Doing get either of us hot. Had to FF after a while.

You've got fall fashions on your mind, and I'm here to help. Plus a new Answer Angel feature: A special rant section for you to sound off about what's bothering you in the world of shopping, beauty and style.
Dear Answer Angel: I see lots of nifty shawls and wraps being advertised for fall, and I love the look and want to wear one. But I always carry a shoulder bag and can't figure out a way for the two to coexist. If I carry the bag over the shawl, it breaks up the whole look. If I carry it under, I look unflatteringly lumpy. What's a gal to do? (And don't say go for the clutch bag!)
— Strapped
Dear Strapped: A shoulder bag and a shawl/wrap can coexist if and only if the purse hangs below the shawl. So, you can either fold and tie the wrap so it doesn't cover the purse or forget this trend. And the shoulder strap should be worn under the shawl, not on top. As for capes and shoulder bags (even though you didn't ask), you can't wear both, at least at the same time. The bulge under the cape is a terrible look. P.S. I would never suggest a clutch, the most impractical purse in the universe!
Dear Answer Angel: Can you tell me where I can find tall boots for women with large calves?
— Carol A.
Dear Carol: Even lots of skinny women have big, muscular calves, so I don't get why it's so hard to find boots that fit. But it is. Many boot brands offer wide-calf models online only, which isn't that satisfying because we all know how hard it is to tell about fit without trying them on. To avoid those infuriating return delivery fees, buy only from online sites that offer free returns or have a genuine store near you where you can take something back if it doesn't fit.
Fitzwell, Silhouette and Naturalizer are among the brands known for wide-calf options. Also, look for boots with elastic inserts like Naturalizer's Juletta wide-shaft model (naturalizer.com). A reader recommends the Brit-based duoboots.com, which offers free worldwide shipping and up to 21 calf sizes up to 19.6 inches.
Dear Answer Angel: When is it appropriate to wear leather knee boots? Summer with shorts? Almost summer with a miniskirt? I had a meeting with some school district administrators, and one was wearing black knee-high boots with a miniskirt, and I thought she looked like a hooker. I always thought boots were for winter (or at least fall).
— Margaret
Dear Margaret: I agree with you that boots should be worn only in cooler (or cold) weather — namely, when your calves and feet won't be begging for an ice-cold shower after you take them off. That said, I've seen loads of women (and girls) wearing knee-high boots in the heat of summer with hot pants, shorts and minis. This is a silly, impractical trend. And besides, who wants to look like a hooker?
Dear Answer Angel: A woman in her early 20s came to me to help her solve the problem of excessive underarm perspiration. I gave her some dress shields, and she uses an antiperspirant, but do you have any other suggestions?
— Trying to Help
Dear Trying: Botox! The injections that help reduce frown lines can also be used in the underarm area to limit perspiration. This stuff is expensive, and I'd recommend that your friend ask a dermatologist's opinion on whether it's worth it.
Now for some reader rants
Dear Answer Angel: I walk into a store, (and) the skirts are way too short or very long. What happened to skirts that fall a little below the knee? There are a lot of women who I know must be looking for decent-length skirts.
— Sonia G.
Dear Sonia: Agreed! The most flattering length for a skirt is at or a max of an inch below the knee, and I don't care what height you are, they seem almost impossible to find.
Dear Answer Angel: What happened to robes and nightgowns? They have disappeared completely, apparently along with buggy whips. What older person wants to wear pajamas? I have tried ... but unless you are under 40 there is NOTHING, nothing! I have also tried the Internet, and the two robes that were mailed to me were awful — it cost me $13 to return them.
— Patricia M.
Dear Patricia: You're right, they're hard to find, and a decent-quality robe is a rarity. But here are a couple of suggestions. When I hear someone say, "Whatever happened to ... " I've discovered you often can still find it at the Vermont Country Store (vermontcountrystore.com), which specializes in "good old days" items. They've got a huge selection of nightgowns and robes. Also, two popular nightgown brands are Lanz of Salzburg and Karen Neuberger, and you can find both online.
Dear Answer Angel: Am I the only one that finds this long hair ... down to the (chest) unattractive … especially in the over-40 group? Seems like every woman I see on TV lately has hopped on the "hair thing" wagon. I actually have to change a channel when I see some of them.
— Jan M.
Dear Jan: You are not the only one!
Dear Answer Angel: Let's talk about finding shoes that are pretty and you can walk in. I have been looking in vain for a pair of comfortable pumps that are appropriate for a woman in her 50s. I did find a pair of Michael Kors, but the selection is slim after that. Who designs these platform shoes with the 5-inch heels? Do the women who wear them realize how ridiculous they look? Back in the day, there was a name for certain types of women who wore shoes that high, and now the designers assume we all work in that old profession!
Dear C.Q.: Again with the hooker look? (See Margaret's letter above.) If you find some good-looking heels you can walk in, I want to know about it. I've abandoned hope. Anybody out there got suggestions? Hello, shoe manufacturers: Are you listening? Your customers await.

Unlike the Mallomar cookie that inspired this pie, you can cut the portion as large as you like.By Charles Perry
Once upon a time, the only desserts I made were pies, and then it occurred to me that a repressed desire for a thick, rich filling was subverting my more recent cake obsession. So I figured, might as well go with it and make a pie filled with my other recent sweet obsession, marshmallows.
RELATED: How to make flavored marshmallows at home.
For some reason, I saw it with a graham cracker bottom crust and a chocolate top crust. Well, clearly another repressed desire was breaking through. This was basically the idea of the Mallomar, that over-the-top cookie that Nabisco produces only during the cool part of the year because the chocolate coating would melt in hot weather.
RELATED: Top 5 baking secrets for people who don't like to bake.
The difference is that 1) this was a pie that I could slice into pieces of any size I liked, and 2) I could make it any time of year! A triumph over the limitations of eating guilty pleasures seasonally! You probably have most of the ingredients in your pantry all the time.
RELATED: How pie is making a comeback as a trendy dessert.
The result is a truly seductive indulgence, combining the toasty, buttery aroma and cinnamon perfume of the graham cracker crust with the rich, bittersweet chocolate ganache and the incomparably plush treat that is fresh marshmallow. Frankly, I liked it even better than a Mallomar because I preferred the flavor and crumbliness of this crust to the latter's prosaic cookie bottom. Also, I can make it with whatever kind of chocolate I liked and the marshmallow filling is moist and fresh.
Not a picture-perfect look, but simply delectable
If you like your desserts to look neat, this one has a certain failing. I've tried and tried, but it's practically impossible to slice through the ganache topping without leaving some chocolate bits on the filling. On the other hand, those bits are chocolate, so they've got that going for them. And no matter what you do, there will be crumbs.
Of course, you could buy one of those ready-made crumb crusts at the supermarket, but make sure it's big enough. You want a 9-inch crust that's about 1½ inches deep (the label may refer to it as a 10-inch crust). You could even buy (or make) a chocolate crumb crust, which gives you more chocolate, but at the cost of a certain diversity of flavor.
I'm obliged to say I think the graham cracker crust is philosophically superior. It's wholesome and earthy; it's there to remind you that life is real, life is earnest, and it's never going to be all chocolate and marshmallow. Or at least only part of the time.
Note: These days Nabisco is marketing its graham crackers in a box with three packets of nine crackers each. I think this crust really needs 10 because it's a little more fragile and less flavorful with nine. So we have a familiar problem, like the way hot dogs and hot dog buns are sold in incommensurable quantities.
Marshmallow Pie
Serves 8-12
For the crust:
10 graham crackers
2 teaspoons sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
2 to 3 grindings nutmeg
5 tablespoons butter, melted
1. Put the crackers, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a food processor and process until fine, about 20 seconds.
2. Pour in the melted butter and pulse about 10 times, until just amalgamated.
3. Pour the crumb mixture into a 9-inch pie pan and, pressing with your fingers, spread around the bottom and part-way up the sides. Make as even as possible, then smooth with a water glass, tamping the bottom and rolling along the sides so that the crumbs reach the top of the pan.
4. Refrigerate for half an hour before filling.
For the marshmallow filling:
1 cup water, divided
2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
½ cup light corn syrup
1½ cups sugar
¼ teaspoon vanilla
1. Put ½ cup water in a mixing bowl or the bowl of an electric mixer and sprinkle the gelatin over the surface. Allow the gelatin to sit for 5 minutes, then set the bowl over a small saucepan of simmering water. Leave without stirring until the gelatin is entirely dissolved (no floating layer), 15 to 20 minutes.
2. Remove the bowl from the saucepan and set aside until cool, 10 minutes or so. Return the mixer bowl to the mixer and whip the dissolved gelatin, as if it were egg whites, until foaming and starting to hold soft peaks, about 1 minute.
3. In a small saucepan, mix the corn syrup, the remaining ½ cup water and the sugar. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to medium and place a lid on the saucepan for 3 minutes so that steam can wash any sugar crystals off the walls.
4. Remove the lid, raise the heat to high and insert a thermometer probe into the syrup. When it reaches 238 degrees F, about 10 minutes from the start of cooking, pour the syrup into a 2-cup glass measuring cup, scraping as much as you can from the saucepan with a heat-resistant spatula.
5. Beat the hot syrup into the gelatin in 6 or 7 small batches, stopping the beaters when you add syrup to avoid pouring any of it on the beaters themselves; they'll waste syrup by whipping it onto the walls of the mixing bowl. Scrape all the syrup you can from the cup. Beat on high until the temperature of mixture is just warm, 15 to 25 minutes.
6. Beat in the vanilla and scrape the marshmallow into the prepared pie pan. Carefully spread with a spatula, making it as even and smooth as possible without breaking up the crumb crust.
7. Refrigerate overnight.
For the ganache frosting:
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate
6 ounces cream
1. Chop the chocolate into small pieces, put into a food processor and process to the consistency of coarse sand.
2. Put the cream in a small pan or saucepan and bring to a full boil. Pour the hot cream onto the chocolate and process until smooth, 10 to 15 seconds.
3. Pour the mixture onto the marshmallow filling of the pie and spread around evenly. Refrigerate until the ganache hardens, 1 hour.
4. To serve, run a sharp knife around the edge of the pie, hewing as closely to the pie pan as possible. Turn a plate upside down and place it over the pie, pick up the pie and plate together and turn the whole thing upside down. Rub the bottom of the pie pan for 30 seconds or so with a paper towel soaked in hot water and wrung out; this is to melt the butter of the crust a little. Thump the bottom of the pie pan sharply and the pie should release.
