Special Offer
Skin Savers
Dermatologists are starting to sound like Al Roker: Its not the heat; its the humidity, they all told us when we asked why everyones face turns goopy during this time of year. Perspiration and natural skin oils cant evaporate as easily when the air is really humid, so they collect on the skins surface, says Mary Lupo, a dermatologist in New Orleans (average high in August: 91 degrees).
Reconsider Your Cleanser
Unless you have Sahara-dry skin, switch to a gel or foaming formula; itll do a better job of soaking up oil than a heavy cream-based cleanser. Try one that contains clay for extra absorption, like Olay Foaming Mud Cleanser, $6.99, coming soon, but until then, try Ahava Dermud Gentle Soothing Facial Cleanser, $20. If you tend to break out, Biores Ice Cleanser, $5.99, offers a triple whammy: It foams, contains zit-busting salicylic acid, and is spiked with menthol that actually cools your skin.
Scrub UpWhen your skin is oilier, it can tolerate more exfoliation, says Dr. Lupo. This doesnt mean taking a Brillo pad to your face every day in an effort to bust shine. But if you use a mild scrub once a week, try twice.
Hydrate and Protect
Too many layers of lotion turn your face into a slip n slide. Moisturizers with SPF, like Ambi Even and Clear Daily Moisturizer SPF 30, $9.99, save you a step. If even a thin coating of sunscreen sounds suffocating, choose a body-spray formula (like Coppertone Continuous Spray SPF 50, $9.99). Youll get great protection thats lighter than any cream, says Loretta Ciraldo, a derm in steamy Miami. Mist some on your hands, then pat your face to avoid irritating your eyes.
To make antiperspirant more powerful:
Swipe it on at night. Its absorbed better in the p.m. First blast the area (whether underarms or feet) with a hair dryer on cool to zap excess moisture.
Cover your skin with plastic wrap. This locks the antiperspirant into sweat ducts so itll work better the next day.
Reapply in the a.m. Glide on two more layers postshower.
Repeat this routine for one week. You will see significant improvement in how much you sweat, says Dr. Lupo.

Raiders sign another draft pick
By Steve Corkran
Tuesday, July 23rd, 2013 at 1:06 pm in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders signed quarterback Tyler Wilson on Tuesday morning, one day before the team reports to Napa for the start of training camp.
Cornerback D.J. Hayden and offensive tackle Menelik Watson are the only two draft picks unsigned as of now, though both likely will be under contract before Friday's first practice.
Wilson was selected in the fourth round of the NFL draft in April out of Arkansas.
The Raiders signed linebacker Sio Moore (third round, 66th overall) on June 13 and announced six signings on June 6: tight end Nick Kasa (sixth round, No. 172), running back Latavius Murray (sixth round, No. 181, tight end Mychal Rivera (sixth round, No. 184, defensive tackle Stacy McGee (sixth round, No. 205), wide receiver Brice Butler (seventh round, No. 209) and defensive end David Bass (seventh round, No. 233).

Senior problem gambling is rising. According to a study conducted for the National Gambling Impact Study Commission in 1999, there are an estimated 3 million adults in the U.S. who are considered problem gamblers. Another 2 million are pathological gamblers. Studies show that 1 in 20 adults experience problems with gambling, and 1 in 100 have problems that are very serious.
Elder Abuse Prevention
For a growing number of seniors, gambling is a losing enterprise. More time and attention are needed as the gambler attempts to win back what he/she has lost. If the losses continue, the gambler may sell possessions or property to cover expenses, or seek risky or high interest loans. Ultimately, the problem gambler avoids friends and family and lies about his/her activities. Anxiety, depression and financial stress can lead to declining health.
The National Council on Problem Gambling defines problem gambling as gambling behavior that causes disruptions in any major area of life: psychological, physical, social or vocational. The term "problem gambling" includes, but is not limited to, "pathological" or "compulsive" gambling. It is a progressive addiction characterized by increasing preoccupation with gambling, a need to bet more money more frequently, restlessness or irritability when attempting to stop, chasing losses, and loss of control manifested by continuation of the gambling behavior in spite of mounting, serious negative consequences.

Broken Arrow police officers and the Broken Arrow Street Crimes Unit cleaned up a corroding meth lab in Adams Creek on Saturday afternoon after a persistent, good Samaritan reported the multiple shake and bake on Thanksgiving day.
Richard Waite and his son were walking along the creek near the Creek Turnpike and 61st Street when they spotted an ice chest with a bunch of empty bottles, and used syringes inside of it. It was sitting in the middle of the creek.
"Just enjoying being in nature as much as we can and looking for animals and things and to come across something like that is just sick," said Waite.
The two own a nuisance wildlife control company and are used to walking in rural areas.
"Obviously that's something you never hope you see," said Waite.
He took some pictures and showed his wife when they went home.
"I hopped in the shower to get ready for Thanksgiving dinner and she saw the pictures on my phone and freaked out and called Broken Arrow police," said Waite. "They called back later asking for more information but never called back to say they found it or that it was gone."
He was worried on Thursday night when it rained that water could wash the chemicals from the meth lab into neighborhoods down the creek where he knows children play.
"I hate to see the waters, and the rivers and the streams and stuff polluted by that kind of mess," said Waite.
What he hated more though was the lack of effort from the BAPD to clean up the mess. He went back on Friday and it was still there.
"To my shock and disappointment, if I can be honest, very disappointed that mess was still sitting there," said Waite.
He called FOX23 News and FOX23 called the BAPD on Saturday and three officers showed up to meet with the news crew and with Waite.
"I was actually hoping it was gone, so I could apologize to you for your trouble," said Waite. "I parked here earlier waiting for you, and looked down there and saw it again. I was disappointed because I counted the days and from what the police report is so dangerous about that stuff and for it to sit out there for that long it disappointing to me."
Broken Arrow's Cpl. Leon Calhoun told FOX23 News if he could have handled it differently he would have.
"If we had more information on Thursday, then maybe the officer who came out first would have located it because we want to get this properly secured and destroyed," said Cpl. Calhoun.
He said an officer drove around the creek on Thursday, but did not locate the meth lab.
"If you pulled over to the side of the road right here where we are standing and looked over the bridge it's right in front of you," said Waite in disbelief that an officer could miss it. "It's right in front of you and it's a big open ice chest."
The BA Street Crimes Unit poured motor oil into the four shake and bake bottles to neutralize the chemicals.
They said this meth lab looked several months old.
They have cleaned up more than 40 dumped out meth labs in Broken Arrow this year alone.
The police said if anyone sees a dumped out meth lab to not touch it and call them to report its location and possibly meet up with the officer to show him where it is located.

Rocked by the recession and faced with changing demographics, competition, globalization, and other challenges, associations—and association meetings—have had to adapt and innovate to survive. And the major meetings industry associations have not been exempt.
We spoke to four chief executives of associations you're most likely a member of—Deborah Sexton, Professional Convention Management Association; Steven Hacker, International Association of Exhibitions and Events; John Graham, ASAE (American Society of Association Executives); and Cindy D'Aoust, Meeting Professionals International—to get their perspectives on the future of meetings, and their best ideas for how meetings can succeed in 2013 and beyond.
Click through to see what we asked them.
What trends have had an impact on your association's meetings and how have you adapted?
Deborah Sexton:
People are spending fewer days at meetings. They don't want to be out of their offices for long periods of time so you have to market the benefits to them specifically. We have developed a blended communication strategyto push out information in a variety of ways—social media, e-mail, direct mail, or whatever.
For Convening Leaders, our annual meeting, we're highlighting things that would be of interest to each of the different segments—independents, corporate planners, exhibition managers, suppliers, association executives, etc. We're not leaving it up to our members to ferret through everything to find what they need.
We no longer have just lectures or panels for an hour and decide that five minutes of Q&A is interactive. In our Learning Lounge we have 10- to 15-minute presentations. In our sessions, programmingis anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the topic, with more interactivitybuilt in. We're also creating conversation areas where people come together spontaneouslyand discuss certain topics. Our members have encouraged us to take risks, be innovative. Even if the risks don't pay off, this allows members to observe new ideas and craft them to fit their environments.
We also have a more sophisticated digital hybrid event, providing education to a broader audience. We have found that the hybrid event drives attendees back to the meeting because it exposes them to what they are missing.
Steven Hacker:
One of the unexpected issues is the depression of government-related meetings. That's pretty serious for a lot of reasons—not just the revenue curtailment to our membership, but also the isolation it creates for government employees. How do you know what's going on if you are imprisoned in an eight-by-eight cubicle?
Another issue is the crawling U.S. economy. For seven consecutive quarters the exhibition industry has outperformed the nation's growth. If the economy were fully engaged and cranking out at 3 percent to 4 percent, this industry, based on all the pent-up demand, could probably exceed that by a factor of two.
Another ongoing trend is the demand for quality content. That content may be housed on a Web site, social media, or it may wind up in our online or face-to-face learningofferings. In response, we have doubled the number of program offerings, and we're expanding the sectors and topics in which we invest. For example, we launched our new Marketing Academy, which is the latest of several of these kinds of learning programs. And to accommodate people's frenetic schedules we have substantially increased the number of online programs.
A lot of the learning will be mined from the live content of events. That's why a lot of us think that this bxb Online [BobTV] proposition is the wave of the future. I think it's one of the few advanced-thinking ideas in my time. It is a concept that could change the face of the industry.
John Graham:
Demographic shifts are impacting associations as a whole as well as association meetings. The real challenge we face is addressing the needs of three and sometimes four generations that can be in the workplace at the same time.
We have incorporated new learning formats into our major meetings that will appeal to variouslearning stylesas well as age demographics. They range from deep-dive sessions that are designed to dig down into a specific topic over a three-hour time frame to Ignite sessions, which incorporate bite-sized learning delivered in five-minute presentations by fellow attendees on a wide range of topics. There are many other formats that we have tried and continue to encourage speakers to use. We have actually incorporated our various "Learn Differently" formats into the call for presentations so we can ensure that programming will be delivered in these formats. The response has been great because it allows attendees to select a learning
format that caters to their learning style.
One of the most critical things that associations have to do continually is make sure their meetings are delivering content and networking opportunitiesthat are relevant to their audience. Most organizations are quick to add products and services but have a hard time "sunsetting" those of less value. However, this is critical in order to make space for new and different [offerings].
Cindy D'Aoust:
We're all being impacted by the speed of change that technology drives. Additionally, we typically have five generations in the work force, and quite often, in a meeting audience. Different generations learn differently, access information differently, and want different experiences. Combine that with the fact that people are becoming more demanding in their expectations regarding a return on their time. Audiences don't have the ability or desire to attend everything, so they are being very selective. To be successful as meeting sponsors, we need to deliver the greatest value to our members and in a way they want to consume it.
We are adapting by getting back to the basics. By that I mean, we are becoming better listeners; understanding our target audience—their challenges, opportunities, and business needs—and then delivering meaningful content.
We have a very large membership, but they don't want to feel like they are just a number. They need to feel like we know who they are and what they're interested in. They want the ability to plan their own itinerary at a meeting. They want to be able to create their own networks. They want a personalized experience. It all comes back to personalization. How do we help attendees experience something that they feel is unique to them—that's one of the driving priorities for us.
Our members want us to take risks. They want us to help them experience the most forward-thinking ideas and meeting-design formats. We are going to bring ideas that are very fresh and different so they can experience it and decide whether it's something they're interested in pursuing or not.
What must the industry do to better promote the value of meetings?
On this issue we have been effective with one thing and one thing only—the Convention Industry Council's economic impact study. That's only 50 percent of what we need to do—the other 50 percent, which is just as important, is the messaging on what face-to-face meetings mean, and not just economically: what happens when people get together, how they solve problems, how research is conducted, how education is shared.
The value of meetings above and beyond economics is not as clear as it should be. We must come together as an industry and not have one organization that is talking about the value of face-to-face as it relates to exhibits and another with a different message as it relates to associations or corporations; it's confusing. We need a united message.
We must create simple, clear bullets on the value of face-to-face meetings. When we do that and tie it back to the economic impact, now we've got a story. I think all of the industry organizations, domestically and internationally, should come together and begin to craft this message that every organization could put on their communications.
It was a combination of circumstances that helped propel the shift in mindset among associations as well as the arrival of a rainmaker in Roger Dow, [CEO, U.S. Travel Association]. From the moment he hit the ground, that organization radically changed from a spectator to a catalyst. Roger knew going in that we cannot only react to threats, we have to proactively prevent those threats.
There isn't a candidate for political office who would knowingly take a position that would cause discomfort to the National Rifle Association or the milk producers. We're not there. We're getting closer, but we have years to go before we can climb into that small circle of organizations. It's a matter of building the system and right now we are looking to build 40 friends in the Senate and the House. That's what you need for any industry—30 to 40 champions who will serve as firefighters for us.
It's important to stay buckled together with U.S. Travel because in the aggregate it's enormously powerful. When you start peeling away the sectors, the numbers start to dwindle. It's all about clout. You have to have clout in order to earn leverage.
ASAE and many other associations quickly recognized the potential consequences of the proposed legislation earlier this year that would have severely restricted government employees' attendance at private sector meetings. Thanks to a quick industry response, we were able to educate Congress about the probable outcomes of that proposal and keep the most onerous provisions from being enacted. ASAE and other organizations that host educational meetings will need to stay on top of this issue and continue to emphasize the value of face-to-face meetings between government employees and the private sector. Budgetary pressures and the emergence of various virtual meeting technologies will probably continue to tempt policymakers into thinking that government agencies can get by without as many opportunities to meet in person, so this is an ongoing advocacy concern.
I think we could all agree that we could do more. Our industry has had many starts and stops in our efforts to have a single, consistent voice. It's important that we come together for the benefit of our community. MPI has certainly led initiatives and is providing tools to our members to support advocacy efforts, but by partnering with others, we'll have far more power.
As an example, I don't believe there is one consistent industry-wide message that has been developed that demonstrates the value meetings deliver to driving economic growth and growth within corporations. We are partnering with industry associations such as U.S. Travel and the CIC that can help us get our message out. We all have to collectively define that story and we all have to tell it in the same way.
How has competition affected the way you do business?
Years ago, the main place people got adult education was through their associations, but now a lot of education can be found online. So associations have to continue to demonstrate the value they are bringing to their members to keep them connected to the organization.
We have been doing lots of collaboration. Any time there's an opportunity for industry organizations to come together to benefit their members, it should happen.
People aren't leaving their offices as often as they used to. They are picking and choosing—going to two or three events a year when they used to go to six. If two organizations can come together and benefit their respective members and add extra value, isn't that a good thing? Collaboration is absolutely critical, but only if it benefits the members. I think you're going to see more of it because, frankly, it's going to be demanded. If you don't, you may see some organizations go away.
The meetings and events industry has gained a level of sophistication in its life cycle—we're in ascendancy nowand any time that happens it attracts competitors. It's healthy and it makes all of the other events in the space have to be better or else they are going to go out of business.
As a general statement, associations are having a much more difficult time today doing well on just dues incomeand the other traditional sources of non-dues revenue. So, if they can't get along just on their dues, they have to be creative about collaborations that will generate valid content and value. That's why you are seeing a lot of associations partnering—and you'll see more of it. You'll also see some associations that can't compete go away. We've seen that this year with the collapse of the Trade Show Exhibitors Association. Associations are terrific organisms but they are by no means immune to the forces of economics and competition. Down the road, I wouldn't be surprised to see some mergers, failures, and new organizationsformed.
Competition has increased based on how easily information and content is shared through electronic tools. That's why it's important to provide content and networking opportunities that are relevant to your audiencein the delivery formats they want. We are continually reviewing and evaluating the products and services we have and are having more strategy conversations about how to reach markets that are not fully participating with ASAE. We have actually gone out and interviewed organization CEOs as to what we are doing well, what we should change, and what are their needs.
We have to evaluate the needs of our members. We have to look to see if someone else is already providing a solution and if there is an opportunity to add value to another organization's work and provide a resource to our members. Being smart about how we use staff time and resourcesto provide the greatest value to members often leads us to seeking mutually beneficial partnerships.
Healthy competitionis just that—it keeps us sharp and focused on bringing value. However there comes a point of saturation where it turns from a blue ocean into a red ocean. When you look at the number of associations and events that are targeted at the same audience and supported by the same supplier partners—if we're not at a red ocean, we're pretty close. The "opportunity pie" is only so big and the more people that you invite to the dinner table, the smaller the piece of pie becomes.
For us, developing partnerships is a conscious strategy. As leaders, it is our responsibility to bring the industry together on behalf of our members. It doesn't mean that members need to leave their home community, but we can collaborate to enhance the value we deliver—best-in-class experiences without building it ourselves. Recently, we announced a partnership with Hospitality Sales and Marketing Association International, and this fall you will see another partnership announcement. At MPI, we will look for partnerships that help us deliver on our mission—making members more successful by building human connections through knowledge, relationships, and marketplace.
How has globalization affected your business and growth?
Over 60 percent of our members are involved with meetings outside of the U.S., so we are going to continue to provide education so our members can be better at what they do as it relates to global meetings. Everything we do goes back to education, and because of that, our global community is growing. It's growing on the supplier side because they know more of our members are involved in global meetings and because they're benefiting from the education.
We'll continue to do some of the smaller international meet ings, like the recent corporate global summit in Glasgow. We're going to do a medical meetings global summitin London next July. We've done smaller events in Canada, Mexico, South America, but our goal is not to go around the world and try to create chapters and build membership that we maybe can't support. Our goal is to continue to build and expand on the education that benefits the global community.
It's a mixed bag, but maybe a little less mixed than it was 20 years ago when we decided to go global. At that time we were hearing people say, "I do business in St. Louis or Tampa or Albuquerque. What are you going overseas for? Why do I have to pay for that adventure as part of my dues?" You don't hear that anymore. You hear "Thank you for giving me the opportunity to expand my event with international exhibitors." But [U.S. organizations] are latecomers in most new markets. The Germans, French, and Italians are decades ahead of us in developing exhibitions in places like China and India.
Associations are eyeing global expansion as a viable option to increase their market shareand deepen their positive impact on their international constituencies. Many of the industries represented by U.S. associations, like healthcare, financial services, and technology, are global industries. Just like many other associations in the U.S., global activities are one of the top priorities for ASAE. ASAE's International Section Council is working to provide resources and education for association practitioners operating in the global realm. In addition,
ASAE has launched a new group for U.S.-based association leaders from associations that have a robust global engagement. The Key Global Associations Committee aims to provide a networking and education platform to advance the U.S. association sector globally.
We're proud to be a global meeting professional community. We don't intend to change that, but we are taking a very measured approach to expansion. As one of the most experienced global communities, we have learned that our current chapter model needs to be looked at and re-imagined in some markets. Rather than focus on a multitude of new global markets, we will focus on a very specific few markets. For us, that's Europe, China, and Brazil.
How has membership evolved?
We have grown membership, but that isn't one of our major goals. We are not about size; we are about delivering senior-level education. Everything we do is geared toward that segment. We have grown 68 percent among corporate meeting planners. The corporate community is starting to realize that a lot of our education has to do with business acumen, leadership, and strategic thinking.
The demographics have shifted substantially in the 21 years I've been here. The pendulum has swung from 65 percent male to 65 percent femaleand the average age is now in the 30s and 40s. It's more rare to see gray hair in a session and more common to see tattoos.
ASAE has explored ways to tailor membership and program offerings to meet the varied needs of the association community. We have introduced a young professionals membership for individuals under 30, a consultant membership, group memberships through international partnerships and delegations, and an offering for small staff associations. All of these have brought in additional revenue, but more important, they have focused on specific constituencies, rather than just a "one size fits all" approach.
We've seen membership fluctuate over the last 10 years, but our community is still 21,000-plus members, so our numbers haven't really varied that much. We continue to attract a broad representation of meeting professionals in the industry. While we are delighted and never want this to change, it is a challenge to anticipate and meet the needs of so many. Our primary customer is still the corporate planner, but over the last several years we've seen significant increases in independent planners, government planners, and association planners.
Given all the changes, is the meetings industry at a turning point?
I have never been more optimistic for the industry. I find these times energizing because they make peo-
ple more strategic; they make people think differently. They make people say, how do we change this to be more beneficial to our members? It's very exciting.
It's normal, natural, healthy evolution. It's just incremental and non-disruptive change, and that's the important thing. We're not trying to dig ourselves out of some crisis that has been brought about by a change in the environment.
There are always turning points—or, said a different way, change happens regularly. Nearly a decade ago when online learning was developed, the concern was that face-to-face meetings would go away. It didn't happen. But what did happen was that online was added to face-to-face. We had the GSA uproar and previously TARP/AIG. There will always be issues to address. Through it all, human beings still want to connect in-person. I don't see that changing.
I think we're past the concept of a turning point. I don't know that we'll ever be in a position to stop and determine what a new turning point is! The new normal is that the speed of change is only going to increase. For me, this is what drew me to MPI, the opportunity to be part of a forward-looking, dynamic environment. ♦

The Man in the Dancing Shoes
Gregory Hines scores big on Broadway with Jelly's Last Jam.
Mervyn Rothstein
From the Print Edition:
Premier Issue, Autumn 92
(continued from page 1)
Finally, it did, "One of the things about acting," Hines says, "is that one has to get in touch with one's own self, one's own emotions and experiences, with anything that will help. We all have a darker side, but we push that side back. But once I started to get inside Jelly, to try to understand him, to try to live in that character, I was able to get in touch with aspects of my own personality and my own history that I couldn't deny, and that were very valuable to me.
"I come from a background where people on my mother's side of the family are very light-skinned and the people on my father's side are dark-skinned," he says. "And when my mother married my father, my mother's father refused to come to the wedding. He didn't want her to marry a dark-skinned African-American. I loved them all, but as I grew up I could see and feel a certain subtle superiority that the lighter-skinned African-Americans felt toward the darker ones. And the more I read about Jelly, the more I could understand."
Now, Hines says, he loves to say those lines. "I've been hissed on stage by the audience because of some of the things Jelly says," Hines recalls. "And it makes me feel good. Because I've always played nice guys. It was time for a change."
Hines started playing nice guys at an early age. He was born in New York City, and spent his younger days with his family on West 150th Street in Harlem, in an area known as Sugar Hill, where many black entertainers resided. His older brother, Maurice, began taking tap lessons at age 4. Gregory was eager to follow in his brother's dance steps, and soon joined in.
"I don't think we were given tap lessons because my parents thought we were going to become professional dancers," Hines says. "It was just like giving kids piano lessons. But we began to develop, and we began to feel it might be a career."
Gregory and Maurice's parents next sent them for lessons to Henry LeTang, the world-renowned tap teacher. "He gave us an act," Gregory Hines says. "That was really the beginning."
The act, called the Hines Kids, began when Gregory was six. He and his brother danced at the legendary Apollo Theater in Harlem. They made their first Broadway appearance in 1954, in small roles--Maurice was a newsboy and Gregory a shoeshine boy--in the musical The Girl in Pink Tights. As they became teenagers, the name of the act was changed to the Hines Brothers. And later, after their father, Maurice Hines Sr., joined them as a drummer, they called themselves the Hines, Hines and Dad. They appeared on television on the The Ed Sullivan Show and often on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show and performed internationally.
But by the late 1960s and early 1970s, Hines says, "Tap had fallen out of fashion and the act split up." (The breakup, and earlier disputes, drove a wedge between Gregory and his brother, one that persists despite occasional reconciliations.) There was also another split: Gregory had married in 1968, and his daughter, Daria, was born in 1970, but divorce soon followed.
Gregory moved to Venice, California, and played in a jazz-rock band, Severance. He often had little money, but, he says, those days were a crucial learning experience.
"It was a great time for me," he says, "because it was a time of great discovery. I became a hippie. I didn't do any tap dancing. In fact, from 1973 to 1978, I didn't even own a pair of tap shoes. It was the first time I was really by myself. It was the first time I was on my own. I had to learn how to take care of myself. Which I did. And it really paid off when I came back to New York and started working in the theater. Because I felt so much more self-confident. And ultimately, that's what it takes."

In 1971, the U.S. Supreme Court held in Bell v. Burson that driving is an "important interest" that may not be taken away from a licensed driver without a government agency's providing procedural due process.
In 1983, the California Supreme Court found that the revocation or suspension of a license "can and often does constitute a severe personal and economic hardship," in Berlinghieri v. Department of Motor Vehicles .
And, in 1993, a California Court of Appeals noted that a person with insulin-dependent diabetes is not automatically subject to license forfeiture or nonrenewal, and an agency may do so only if the diabetes affects the driver's safe operation of a motor vehicle (People v. Superior Court [Wilson]).
Low Blood Sugars and Driving
No one with any sense would get behind the wheel knowing his or her blood sugar is at 50 mg/dl. Unfortunately, too many persons do so without knowing it because they did not check, or they keep driving after many hours without pulling over to check their blood sugar and eat (see accompanying story "Diabetes and the Open Road," p. 17). The obvious precautions of testing and eating are the easiest ways to avoid problems.
Among the many side effects that can arise from hypoglycemia are problems with driving safety and maintaining a driver's license. But, just as other diabetic complications can be controlled and avoided with proper planning and care, so can driving problems.
As an attorney who has type 1 diabetes, I am familiar with these problems, both from my own experiences and those of persons I have represented before the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) in California. As long as you have already demonstrated the ability to drive safely and received a license, you have a right to operate a motor vehicle (some DMV officers mistakenly believe that it is a privilege).
When I appear with clients before DMV hearing officers to seek reinstatement of a license, I emphasize that my client will be prepared to avoid and handle hypoglycemic events when driving in the future.
I work with my clients to make certain they are aware that frequent testing of blood sugars is critical to maintaining safety as a driver (in addition to all the other safety and health reasons). Whenever a person taking insulin is about to drive, it is essential to know that his or her blood sugar is at a proper level. Proper meal planning before and during a long drive is also critical.
Steps To Driving Safety
Unfortunately, anyone taking insulin has a chance of going too low while driving, however cautious he or she might be. Therefore, it is essential to be prepared for a hypoglycemic event that occurs while driving. The following are what I consider the critical steps to driving safety when a low hits. I make certain all my clients are familiar with them before I represent them at a DMV hearing:
Once these steps were taken, all of my clients were able to get their driving licenses back and were able to drive with more confidence and safety. These steps should work fine for most persons in most situations. However, if you have difficulty recognizing low blood sugar symptoms, you must learn to overcome that problem.
Recognizing a Low
In cases where my clients have had that difficulty I have worked with health care professionals who can train persons with diabetes on how to recognize low blood sugars. The process involves carefully elevating blood sugars so that the symptoms of lows become recognizable again. If done properly with qualified health care specialists, the low blood sugars can become readily recognizable again without damaging overall diabetes care. Your own certified diabetes educator, therapist or medical specialist may be able to assist you with this problem, as long as they have been trained to assist people in recognizing low blood sugars (see "Manual Teaches People How to Recognize Low BGs").
For your own health and safety, ability to work and enjoy the benefits of driving, and, above all, for the safety of those around you on the road, maintaining hypoglycemic awareness and being prepared for a low blood sugar can never be ignored.

Driving must be done carefully. Have urgent requirements readily available in the vehicle in case of any emergency.

Kriss Halpern, Attorney at Law:
"As an attorney who has type 1 diabetes, I am familiar with these problems, both from my own experiences and those of persons I have represented before the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) in California. As long as you have already demonstrated the ability to drive safely and received a license, you have a right to operate a motor vehicle (some DMV officers mistakenly believe that it is a privilege)."
I would like to see where in either the CA or US Constitution this right to drive is enumerated.
If only diabetics would take this to heart...it was save lives, including their own.
Responsible Diabetics & Hypoglycemics Should Always Test Their Levels Before Driving

Bulldog Spikers Fall to Terriers
Spartanburg, S.C. – Ise d'Angelo drove home a team-high 10 kills, while teammate Rachael Farrell added six, but it was Wofford that emerged with a 25-16, 25-14, 25-17 victory on senior night at Benjamin Johnson Arena.
The combination of d'Angelo and Farrell were the bright spots for a Citadel offense that mustered 28 kills. Erin Bucherl continued to be the leader defensively for the Dogs, tallying 11 digs, while Farrell added eight. The Citadel also got 16 assists and six digs from freshman setter Mikaela Tracy, however slipped to 6-26 overall and 0-14 in Southern Conference action this season.
Wofford's well-balanced lineup was highlighted by the performance of Amanda Liguori, who totaled 15 kills. Teammate Rachel Woodlee added eight kills and the Terriers (15-12, 5-9 SoCon) got seven each from Wendy Burnett and Arden Anderson. On the defensive end, the back row the combination of Reagan Styles and Bekah Dorsey notched 17 and 12 digs, respectively. Wofford also got a defensive lift with four assisted blocks by Anderson and three by Burnett, to close with 14 as a unit.
The Dogs assumed an early 4-1 lead behind kills by Farrell and Jessica Maxwell, but were unable to maintain the advantage as the score reached 11-11, following a series of strikes by Liguori. Wofford rattled off six unanswered points and moved in front 17-11, before a d'Angelo kill ended the Cadets scoring drought. The Citadel managed just one kill in their final five points as the Terriers completed the 25-16 victory.
Wofford's offense stayed in rhythm as five kills in the first 10 points, including two by Liguori, made for a 10-6 second set lead. Two kills and a service by d'Angelo over a four-point stretch kept the Bulldogs close, 12-9. But, it was Wofford's four kills in five points, during a critical stretch, which allowed the Terriers to grab a 17-11 advantage. Wofford allowed just three Citadel points over the remainder of the set en route to a 25-14 win.
Sensing the opportunity to complete the sweep, Wofford opened with an 8-2 run in the third set, highlighted by two kills each by Woodlee and Anderson. Farrell responded with three kills for The Citadel and combined with three unforced errors the Wofford lead was trimmed to one, 11-10. The host Terriers regrouped and pieced together a 6-3 run, highlighted by two kills from Anderson, upping its lead to 17-13. However, it was five kills among the final six points that proved to be the difference for Wofford in the 25-17 victory.
The Citadel heads into its final week of play where they will travel to cross-town rival College of Charleston on Nov. 6, before returning for senior night festivities on Nov. 10 when the Dogs host Elon.

photos & story
by Jessica Warzeniak
On top of the Winter Garage with the sun shining, some pyrotechnics, an awesome motorcycle, and Dan Aykryod, Mohegan Sun celebrated another Project Horizon groundbreaking on May 14. The groundbreaking ceremony started with Bruce "Two Dogs" Bozsum, Chairman, Mohegan Tribe, blessing the area and performing the smudge ceremony.
Set to open in the fall of 2008, the 64,000 square-foot Casino of the Wind is one of the major components of Mohegan Sun's multi-million dollar Project Horizon expansion. The cornerstone of the expansion will be a new 39-story hotel, featuring a unique House of Blues experience including 261 House of Blues-themed hotel rooms, and an exclusive, members-only House of Blues Foundation Room to be located on the upper floors of the new hotel. Other highlights of the new House of Blues experience at Mohegan Sun will include a House of Blues Music Hall, restaurant and retail outlet.
Slipping into the Blues Brothers signature black hat and sunglasses, "We're thrilled to unveil the next phase of our evolution," said Bruce. "The future of the Mohegan Tribe and Mohegan Sun shines bright, as we continue to develop as an overall entertainment destination. Our Project Horizon will further expand upon our cultural heritage and traditions to offer our customers a spectacular, one-of-a-kind experience in the Northeast."
"It is a beautiful day in Mohegan. An exciting day," said Bruce. "I am looking forward to the next phase of the world's greatest casino. Not just because it is ours, but because it is. 30,000 people tell me that everyday."
Project Horizon is also expected to inject 1,400 construction jobs and 1,500 permanent jobs into the economy of Southeastern CT. The total number of slot machines at Mohegan Sun is projected to increase to approximately 7,600 units complemented by 385 table games.
"This is a very exciting time in the history of Mohegan Sun," said Mitchell Etess, President and Chief Executive Officer, Mohegan Sun. "We're thrilled to welcome House of Blues here at Mohegan Sun, an arrangement that is designed to bring together two leading entertainment destinations at one location."
"We have worked tirelessly with the architects and designers to organically and seamlessly expand the existing facility while honoring the past culture and future generations of the Mohegan Tribe," added Mitchell. "Over the years, we have created the premier entertainment destination in North America and continue to build unparalleled guest loyalty."
The design of Project Horizon is a collaborative effort by several of the world's most renowned firms, including Wimberly Allison Tong & Goo, architects of Mohegan Sun's dramatic exterior, and the Rockwell Group, in charge of creating the Mohegan-inspired design for the new gaming space, hotel lobby, retail and dining areas.
"The Source," a concept with special meaning to the Mohegan Tribe, served as the inspiration for the designs of Project Horizon. Water, the ultimate source of life, will act as a key design feature. In the new hotel lobby, a reflecting pool will evoke the spirits of the sea, earth and sky, while thirteen springs will represent the new generations that will prosper from the Tribe's vision. "'The Source' is about water, light, and the basket – the vessel for future generations." said David Mexico, principal, Rockwell Group. "The new lobby will have liquid points of light, surrounded by shards of crystal, all encompassed in a basket."
The new 1,500 capacity House of Blues Music Hall will feature live music from a wide variety of musical genres, while the 300-seat casual dining restaurant will offer unique regional and international cuisine and traditional southern-inspired. "I have personally been promoting concerts in CT for over 35 years bringing the biggest artists in the world to this great state," said Jim Koplik, President, Live Nation CT. "To be able to finally promote club shows at the most respected club venue brand in the world will be hugely beneficial for both the artist community and the music fans who love coming to see live entertainment at Mohegan Sun."
Actor and comedian, Dan Aykroyd, founder, House of Blues, arrived on his Harley Davidson. "We are here to marry the spirits of two great entities," said Dan. "God knows in this day and age we need music, fun, and leisure more than ever." Dan began his association with the Mohegan Sun when his wife Donna threw him a surprise fiftieth birthday party. "They were wonderful to me. We started talking and I decided to bring my brand here. It's thrilling and an honor to work with them."

Flowmaster is a 1D general purpose CFD solution for thermo fluid system engineers to model and analyze the fluid mechanics and pipe flow in complex systems. Flowmaster®
Application Examples
Flow Distribution
To find the best design option for the tank, the engineer conducted "what-if" analysis with FloEFD. FloEFD makes it easy to modify solid models and analyze them. The process is simple: by using the cloning feature, users can create multiple variations of their designs and without having to reapply loads, boundary conditions, material properties etc the model can be analyzed again. Then the user can choose the best possible design among the various options. With FloEFD, improving and optimizing designs is easy.
Isobars and pressure distribution
In process industries they are used to move chemicals, pharmaceuticals and even petroleum. In this case the engineer needed to optimize the flow through the central chamber to obtain uniform flow in each branch. FloEFD was used to calculate the flow volume in branches.
Flow trajectories and distribution on pipe entrance
While analyzing this model, the user took advantage of one of the most important features of FloEFD. Unlike traditional CFD programs which require users to create additional solid parts to represent the fluid (empty) regions, FloEFD automatically differentiates between the two and automatically represents the fluid domain. As a result, FloEFD frees users from the problem of creating unnecessary geometry just to prepare a model for analysis.
View from above detailing cut plot around the top cake
FloEFD was used to investigate the airflow inside the oven. Special FloEFD functionality such as cloning projects was used to shorten the analysis process. By cloning the project, users can easily change boundary conditions or geometry configurations and without having to reapply loads or boundary conditions reanalyze the problem. Variant analysis has never been this easy.
Valves / Machinery
Valve Design
Pressure and Flow Distribution
Preparing the model for analysis was very easy with FloEFD. Unlike traditional CFD programs that require users to create additional solid parts to represent the fluid (empty) regions, FloEFD automatically differentiates between the two for internal and external flows and automatically represents the fluid domain. As a result, engineers are freed from the tedium of creating unnecessary geometry just to prepare a solid model for analysis.

Wow, apparently I have overstayed my welcome for some NLife readers. That makes me sad.
I make games because I love playing games. I remember the magic that enters my heart when I experience special moments playing video-games, and then I try to capture that feeling and reproduce with the hope that others can experience it again from our creations.
I understand that not everyone is going to enjoy our games. I accept that. If I didn't, I probably wouldn't be able to make games.
However, I can't avoid feeling upset and vulnerable when people, like @unrandomsam, say negative things about me or my games. It's their opinion and they are entitled to it. So, it's all fair.
Developing video-games and then talking about them is what I love to do. I'm just sorry if it's not for you.

Associated Press
PIERMONT, N.Y. (AP) - Authorities say a second body has been pulled from New York's Hudson River near where a bride-to-be and her fiance's best man went missing after a boat crash near the Tappan Zee Bridge.
Officials say the body of a man believed to be 30-year-old Mark Lennon was discovered Sunday. A body believed to be that of bride-to-be Lindsey Stewart was found Saturday.
Both bodies have been taken to the medical examiner's office.
Stewart was set to be married Aug. 10. Lennon was the best man.
Officials say four people, including the groom-to-be, were hospitalized after a speedboat carrying six friends crashed into a construction barge Friday night.
A friend operating the boat, Jojo John, has been charged with vehicular manslaughter. Authorities say he was intoxicated.

Searching the Scientific Literature
"Publications are at once the end-product of scientific research and the raw material for future research." (A.F Spillhaus)
|Initial Planning:
Narrowing or Broadening Your Research Topic
Focusing Your Search--Primary or Secondary Literature
|Scientific research is a cumulative process with present research building upon a knowledge base of information that resides in the scientific literature. Following are three reasons why you may need to find, evaluate and use this literature.
- Literature Review - as part of a research study or paper you may need to identify and review relevant information
on a specific topic. The scope of the research will often determine the exhaustiveness of the review required. Graduate thesis work usually requires an extensive review of the literature. Researchers who begin work
in a new area frequently need to review literature associated with their new area of interest. The goal is to become familiar with the knowledge base of scientific information on the topic so that 1) you can understand the topic and its major concepts; 2) you can place your research in context and 3) you can further develop your own ideas.
The Literature Reviews: An Overview for Graduate Students video from North Carolina State University provides an excellent introduction to conducting an extensive literature review for a course assignment, capstone course, thesis, or other research.
Subject searching using discovery tools such as literature databases and catalogs and citation searching within the scientific literature can be used to identify literature on a specific topic.
- Practical or Everyday Needs - find specific information needed for either experimental work or application of scientific understanding. It may be raw data for model building or analysis; collaborating data; information about a specific model, technique, or theory; the construction of experimental apparatus; a mathematical equation; an explanation for an observed phenomenon; or other similar needs. Informal communication with colleagues is a major source for meeting these needs. Handbooks, manuals and other reference works listed in the scientific Research Guides are also important sources for this type of information..
- Current Awareness - keep current and informed about new literature and current progress in a specific area of interest. This is done in a number of ways, both informally in personal communication with colleagues and more formally through sources such as those listed in Current Awareness in the Sciences. You can also use Literature Databases available to HSU students and faculty to do a subject search of recent literature added to a database. Some databases allow you to create a search profile that will be run periodically against new records added to the database.
Researchers usually focus on a specific attribute of the natural world. You should use a scientific mindset to first define a specific hypothesis or research question before looking for information that either substantiates or refutes the hypothesis or answers the research question. In some cases you will need to spend time working through your initial hypothesis to narrow your topic so you are not looking through volumes of information. In some cases you will need to broaden your original hypothesis, e.g. to a broader group of organisms.
As an example the general research topic of "giant squid" could be subdivided into five sub-topics of "location", "habitat", "predators", "anatomy" and "legends'. "Habitat" could then be subdivided into even more specific sub-topics. The goal is to eventually arrive at a workable hypothesis or research question.
Examples of research questions that could be formulated using the above include:
- How does the giant squid navigate without light?
How does the giant squid cope with intense pressure?
What are the feeding habits of giant squid?
For other general concepts on narrowing or broadening your research topic see Research Roadmap.
FOCUSING YOUR SEARCH--primary or secondary scientific literature
One of the first steps in developing a search strategy is deciding where to initially focus your literature search--primary or secondary literature. For a more detailed introduction see Literature of Science.
- Publications that report the results of original scientific research constitute the primary literature of the sciences. Examples include journal papers, conference papers, monographic series, technical reports, and theses and dissertations.
- Publications that synthesize and condense what is known on specific topics constitute the secondary literature. These include reviews, monographs, textbooks, treatises, handbooks and manuals. Because secondary literature in the sciences frequently provides a broader context and contains references to key primary literature this is often a good place to start. Scholarly books can be used to gain knowledge in a particular subject area, learn about the historical development of a topic and find out the names of key researchers and their publications. .
To search for primary literature use literature databases that are listed under Articles and Databases on the Library's web page. Every scientific discipline has at least one database to its research literature. You can use a combination of subject searching and citation searching to locate desired information.
To search for books and government documents that are part of the secondary literature use the HSU Library Catalog, the catalogs of Other Libraries and the Catalog of U.S. Government Publications. In addition many of the Research Guides developed by HSU librarians list important secondary reference tools in the HSU Library and on the Internet that can be used as starting points for research. Sometimes an older bibliography will comprehensively cover earlier primary literature.
This method uses "subject" keywords to search literature databases and catalogs. To effectively conduct a subject search you should first develop a subject search strategy and then think about how you will enter your search in a literature database or catalog as shown in the following example:
- Develop a subject search strategy.
Start by constructing a search strategy using the following four steps. The Search Strategy Worksheet, an expanded explanation of these four steps, can be printed and used to construct a search strategy for your research topic.
STEP 1 -- Summarize your research topic in one or two sentences.
I am interested in finding research on the effect of sedimentation on the survival of salmon eggs.
STEP 2 -- Identify the unique ideas or concepts associated with your research topic.
A research topic typically has two or three unique concepts. In the sciences these concepts commonly fall into one of these categories: subject; taxonomic; geographic; time; habitat; life stage, population or age group; organ system; chemical substance; genetic sequence; disease; or methodology, technique or test.
STEP 3 -- Brainstorm appropriate keywords for each concept.
Each concept usually can be described using several specific keywords. These keywords can be developed in several ways - your personal knowledge of the topic, suggestions of others, or background reading that you do in secondary sources. In making a list of keywords consider the following:
- "Controlled Keywords"
Many literature databases and catalogs use "controlled" keywords that come from associated thesauri or lists of keywords and which are assigned by indexers to every record in the database. These "controlled" keywords bring together similar ideas under one standardized word or phrase that may be described in the discipline literature by several different keywords. See this reference as an example of the "controlled" keywords used in an literature database. In a database record they may be called "descriptors", "subject headings", etc.
- Hierarchical Relationships
In developing keyword lists consider possible hierarchical relationships within a particular concept. For example, with a taxonomic concept are you only interested in locating research on a particular species or is a broader taxonomic classification also of interest?marine biology
marine flora
marine algae
red algae (Rhodophyta)
coralline algae (Coralinales)
Sporolithon ptychoides
- Scientific Nomenclature
For taxonomic concepts use both common and scientific names of organisms. Using both will normally increase the number of citations retrieved.
salmon or oncorhynchus
- Word Truncation
Examine each keyword to see if it can be beneficially truncated to retrieve variant forms of the word. This is especially true for single and plural variants of a word. You can use wildcard symbols (e.g., *, #, ?, +) available in a database to truncate words back to a base root. To find the correct wild card symbols to use in a database check its help section. Examples:
sediment* retrieves sediment, sediments, sedimentation
silt* retrieves silt, silts, silting, silted, siltation
STEP 4 -- Establish the relationship between each keyword and concept.
Use Boolean operators -- AND, OR, and NOT -- and nesting to connect together every keyword and concept in your search statement. AND connects each concept and OR connects the synonymous keywords under each concept. Keywords connected by ORs need to be entered in the same search box or enclosed within parentheses ( ) when searching a database. See the sample search above as well as the following example:
(sediment* or silt*) and (hatch* or survival) and (salmon* or oncorhynchus) and (egg* or embryo* or redd*)
- "Controlled Keywords"
- Strategize how to enter your search in literature databases and catalogs.
- Sometimes it is useful to conduct a preliminary search before beginning your main search. This search serves two purposes: 1) it is a means to get a basic sense of the literature on your topic; and 2) it serves as a source of keywords for each of your concepts and it will help you assess whether searching on specific keywords is likely to yield relevant results.
- Concepts within a topic are often a mixture of specific and broad
ideas. A useful approach is to identify the most specific concept
and search that one first. If this initial search retrieves only a
few references, just browse through them and identify the ones relevant
to your topic. If the search retrieves many references, add another
concept using the "and" connector to decrease your results.
- Use "controlled" keywords as described above. If you do not know
what "controlled" keywords to use, conduct an initial search using
the keyword(s) you have. In reviewing the search results look for
"controlled" keywords, often called descriptors or subject headings,
which commonly appear as part of each citation (see example).
Re-enter your search adding these "controlled" keywords to your existing
- Use a "building block" approach to searching if the database you
are searching allows for it. Enter each of your concepts individually
by ORing together the list of synonymous keywords you have
created, e.g., prevent* or avoid* or deterr*. After each of your concepts
has been entered use the database "Search History" feature, if available,
to AND together each of the concepts. Employing this approach
allows you to:
- add new keywords you have identified to an existing concept, e.g., concept 1 or avert* (new keyword)
try different concept combinations using the AND connector,
concept 1 and concept 2 and concept 3
concept 1 and concept 3
concept 3 and concept 2
- Searching is a dynamic process. As you proceed in your literature search, and as your personal knowledge increases, your list of keywords is likely to grow and/or be refined.
As part of the research process citation is made within current publications to earlier research. Citations may serve the following purposes:
- Acknowledge related work of other scientists.
- Identify additional sources of information.
- Reference methods used in the research.
- Acknowledge conflicts with other research results.
- Provide support for views expressed in a paper.
Citations are commonly included within the text of the paper and listed in a concluding "Bibliography" or "Literature Cited" section. The average research paper contains eleven citations.
Starting with at least one initial research paper a bibliography of both older and newer research related to your topic can be created. The initial research paper(s) may come from several possible sources:
- Subject searching of literature databases and library catalogs.
- Your personal knowledge of the literature on a specific topic.
- Reference books such as subject encyclopedias, treatises, and reviews.
- Another person who has specific knowledge on the topic.
To find older references.
To work BACKWARD in time use the "Bibliography" or "Literature Cited" section of publications you already in hand. Just look up appropriate references cited in these publications and then continue to follow up additional references that you find in older papers. Depending upon the extent of your information needs this process can be repeated until the point is reached when you continue finding the same older references.
To find newer references.
A number of databases allow you to work FORWARD in time from an older reference. The results of your search in these databases will be a bibliography of more recent papers that have cited your original older research paper. See Advanced Research Skills: Citation Searching for short video introduction.
Google Scholar is the most comprehensive citation database to which the HSU Library has access.
Other scientific literature databases available at HSU also provide citations to more recent articles. You may also be able to set up a "search alert" for new articles that have cited an article found in a database. (Note: Two comprehensive citation databases--Web of Science and Scopus--are not available at HSU.)
- ACM Digital Library (HSU users only)
- Annual Reviews
- BioOne (HSU users only)
- BioOne Abstracts and Indexes (HSU users only) includes "Cited by" links for both indexed articles and to each article's cited references. The citing references are taken from other CSA environmental indexes.

Arm & Hammer Essentials Natural Deodorant
Arm & Hammer Essentials Natural Deodorant Reviews
Not all natural, but still a decent aluminum-free deodorantI initially bought this one for my husband, but when I opened, it did not smell masculine at all. BTW, the product label clearly said "unscented", but it had a citrus scent. Since my deodorant was almost out, I ended up keeping it for myself. It smelled refreshing and clean, so I was not too upset about the "unscented" part. When I applied, I did not see major white stains/residue on my clothes. W...read morehile it actually controlled odor, unfortunately it did not keep me dry all day. I had to apply one more time in the mid-afternoon. Well, to be fair, I used it during the humid summer month and my workout hours. Although I don't think all the ingredients in this deodorant are natural, this is a very affordable aluminum-free choice. — 3 years, 5 months agoluckybetty | 895 reviews

DecentThis stuff has a good scent which was important to me, and it worked pretty well for me for a day or two. Then my underarm skin started peeling as if I had just gotten a sunburn. And I experienced a bit of stinging. I've been warily using it on occasion since then, but I mainly switched to another product and don't see myself repurchasing this once it's gone. — 1 year, 10 months agoshinyandiknowit | 99 reviews
