At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To help monitor your blood sugar levels over time if you have diabetes mellitus, especially if it is not possible to monitor your diabetes using the A1C test; to help determine the effectiveness of changes to your diabetic treatment plan that might include changes in diet, exercise or medications
When to Get Tested?
When you are diabetic and your doctor wants to evaluate your average blood glucose level over the last 2-3 weeks
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm or sometimes from a fingerstick
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Fructosamine is a compound that is formed when glucose combines with protein. The fructosamine test is a measurement of this glycated protein. When glucose levels in the blood are elevated over a period of time, glucose molecules permanently combine with proteins in the blood in a process called glycation. Affected proteins include albumin, the principal protein in the blood, other serum proteins, and hemoglobin, the major protein found inside red blood cells (RBCs). The more glucose that is present in the blood, the greater the amount of glycated proteins that are formed. These combined molecules persist for the life of the protein or RBC and provide a record of the average amount of glucose that has been present in the blood over that time period.
Since RBCs live for about 120 days, glycated hemoglobin (hemoglobin A1C) represents a measurement of the average blood glucose level over the past 2 to 3 months. Serum proteins have a shorter lifespan, about 14 to 21 days, so glycated proteins, and the fructosamine test, reflect average glucose levels over a 2 to 3 week time period.
Keeping blood glucose levels as close as possible to normal helps those with diabetes to avoid many of the complications and progressive damage associated with elevated glucose levels. Good diabetic control is achieved and maintained by daily (or even more frequent) self-monitoring of glucose levels in insulin-treated diabetics and by occasional monitoring of the effectiveness of treatment using either a fructosamine or A1C test.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm or from a fingerstick.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

During his week's stay, Mr. Lawrence held classes morning and afternoon, in which he taught rhythm drills, the rudi- ments of beating time, and the exact way of leading several familiar songs. Two students from each class were selected by Mr. Lawrence Saturday af- ternoon, to form the nucleus of the com- munity singing club. Under the leader- ship of Miss Dowd, they will continue the classes, organising new rhythm drills and arrange for the students to lead sings at the community center. Gave Typleal Oemtaaalty Sliti Wednesday night Mr. Lawrence led a sing in the chapel with the same pro- gram he uses in street sings for children. Afterwards he showed slides of a sing in New York, some of them illustrating the new "Singing Wagon" devised for daylight sings. Among the pictures of noon hour sings in industrial plants were some of quartets, glee clubs, anJ bands, that had been formed by the em- ployees as a result of the sing*.

VARSITY OVERWHELMED BY ALL-PHILADELPHIA, M Loses Last Game of Season Losing its big game for the first time in three years, Bryn Mawr was crush- ed 8-0 by All-Philadelphia last Saturday in the final game of the season. With the exception of M. Warren. '21, left half-back, the full Varsity team lined up when the whistle blew. The All- Philadelphia team was made up of five players from Philadelphia, two from Ger- man town, two from Lansdownc, one from Hsddoufield and one from Mer- lon, most of whom have played here many tunas before. E. Biddle, '19, sub- stituting for E. R��d, left full-back, was a former Vgraity player. Lack of force and aggressiveness on the part of the Varsity forward line, slow passing and weak shooting, kept Bryn Mawr from scoring. The halves and fulls fought hard, and again and again checked the rushes of the All- PhiUdelphia forwards, sending the ball up to the wings and insjdes, who fum- bled and hesitated until the opposing halfbacks were upon them.

Photo Tutorial: How to Roast Beets
Sweet, tender, and packed full of earthy flavor, roasted beets are a stellar inclusion in a variety of salads, soups, and even pizza. But before we get carried away praising this oft-maligned root vegetable, let's first tackle how to roast them up with a minimum of stress and effort. A word to the wise: to make roasted beets a weeknight-friendly meal addition, roast up a big batch over the weekend when time is (relatively) plentiful and add them to dishes all week long.

Ellis heads to Dodge City for 2A state
By CONOR NICHOLL
On the Ellis High School Web site, fifth-year coach Matt Carroll has a quote.
"There is a strong tradition of excellence in golf at EHS, and we have been able to continue this tradition over the last couple of years, and hope to continue this into the future," Carroll said.
The Railroaders certainly have, and are currently enjoying the second-best era in school history. From 1991-97, Ellis finished top four at state on four occasions, including a state runner-up finish in 1997. Carroll has started a new era. In 2011, Skyler Tebo finished third overall and Tyler Walters was 17th as Ellis took eighth as a team. It marked the first time Ellis had sent a golfer to state since 2003 and the first team placing since 2000.
Last year, Ellis took fifth at state as Tebo and Austin Lopez each tied for fifth individually. This season, the Railers again qualified as a team for the Class 2A state meet at Mariah Hills in Dodge City. Ellis was second to Oberlin in the regional. Start time is 8:30 a.m.
Freshman Kelly Brown and senior Kade Brown, a NCAA Division I Creighton (Neb.) University signee, lead the Red Devils.
Tebo shot 72 and won the regional title for the third straight year. Seniors Walters, Gage Younger and Ryan Downing and junior Josh Tway lead the team. Walters shot an 82, while Tway had a 89 and Younger a 90.
Other state sites
WaKeeney-Trego, led by senior Cameron Staples, is one of the top 1A teams. Quinter junior Ryan Tebow is among the top individuals. He has now qualified three times and earned all-state with a 14th place last year.
Class 4A is at Cherry Oaks Golf Course in Cheney, while Class 3A is at Spring Creek Golf Course in Seneca. The Class 1A meet is at Emporia, while the sand greens will be at Tipton.

Has become clearer by the day that this was an obvious False Flag attack: Albeit my opinion, it's the opinion of many many others as well. I spent a good amount of time this last week reviewing any available material, listened to the recorded scanner tapes, and reviewed initial interviews..
Some of the witnesses have been said to have been at other high profile shooting events in the recent past. If you were to look carefully with an open mind you can indeed see that some appear in many of the occupy protest footage. This makes them actors and should cause you to question their true identity.
This sucks, that's about all I can say. It's likely......( very very possible ) that Holmes never fired a shot.............he was simply too drugged up to have had the capability.....simply crashed out in the car waiting for the cops playing his role.
Even to this day he's no idea where he's at, or what really happened.. It's just crazy.
This kid was brilliant beyond belief.....so what's really going on here. Worked for the Salk Institute as a RESEARCHER......While still in High School.........Just think about this:
The selling of the tale is so over killed......that the cost of the 6,000 round purchase of ammo ( and other rounds ) is north of 10-k alone.....let alone the other weaponry and gear....This simply stinks to High Heaven..
One very very glaring red flag was the very first Interview given by Oates...I doubt anyone here has seen it...When you compare it to his rehearsed presser......it's clear that he's hiding details... One being the question he refused to answer: It was asked twice...." Were their CCTV cameras in and around the Theater area? " He deflected the first..............simply refused the second, dismissed it...
Then you have Kelly...NYPD's police Chief offering his take..." WHY " Why Interview him? He's 1,500 miles away....Just an obvious lone wolf sales job...doesn't make any sense.
It's been said by one person that the Two who were Interviewed ( with the 3 month old ) are actually actors.....both have been at high profile events in the past.....the baby was a prop.........and the very first national interviewee / witness...is related to a producer for the network NBC.
Very very odd, very very crazy stuff going on these days.
Jessica Ghawi's real name is supposed to be Jessica Redfield, who just so happened to be in Toronto @ the Mall thing.....she actually joked about it being staged on twitter...joked when called out by someone else....Strange, very strange.
The trauma Nurse drowning " undetected by national media " very strange as well....very very sad..actually passed on the 7th only found out on the 14-15th...
Also no national coverage of the event in Texas.....You know where the citizen saved a Deputies life by opening fire on a shooter who had the Deputy pinned down. Only the Sheriff's office posted a video on youtube....NO ONE ELSE. Not even any independent images on google... And you think the Aurora event wasn't about Gun Control...better rethink it.
It's becoming clear that is was something other than what is being told. More lies as opposed to telling/reporting the truth. Makes me sick.
The Dude in Texas was 66 yrs old, hit the perp with a 5" barreled .357 from 160 yrds out. Hit him 4 times.....then the Deputy put him down with a .223
All true and never covered by any MSM on a national level....The Perp killed two people...and no mention....Wonder why!!!

Not to mention the spectacular visual effects.The twists and turns of the movie will keep you entertained throughout, you will laugh and cry.Please don't dismiss this movie as another super hero film, it is much more. I highly recommend this to everyone

Well worth watching with the family.DaveFaz | 22/02/2008 | See all DaveFaz's reviews (182)Top 100 Reviewer Top 10 DVD Reviewer Top 100 PC Reviewer Jaw-dropping animation that is so good at times it really does take your breath away, and brilliant, fun story make this a great film to watch with the kids. If I have a complaint, it is a little shy of the type of humour that keeps the adults transfixed, but it's small complaint really. I would have no reservation in recommending the film.

College News VOL XII. No. 13. BRYN MAWR (AND WAYNE), PA., WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 10, 1^6 PRICE 10 CENTS ELIZABETH WAS NOT A GOOD ELIZABETHAN Coriyers Reed in Memorial Lecture Stresses Strength of Good Queen Bess with Common Man TRUE CHILD OF RENAISSANCE "Good Queen Bess" was the subject on which Conyers ReeVi, non-resident lec- turer in history at the University of Chi- cago, delivered the first MSllory Whiting Webster memorial lecture, on Saturday evening, February 6, in Taylor Hall. "The only point on which Pius VI and Henry of Navarre were agreed," he began, "was that Queen Elizabeth was one of the greatest of monarchs." Her whole generation wrote of her in terms of extravagant praise. Cavalier and Pruitan alike revered her; the former, as protagonist of royal power, the latter, as champion of the Protestant faith. The rationalistic eighteenth century commended her for her lack of the very religious parti- sanship for which the Puritans looked up to her. Froude, in the nineteenth century, would have none of her because she refused to aid the Reformation. To good luck, and not to good management, he attributed her undeniable success. Yet good luck does not seem to explain her. As a woman, she is a familiar enough figure. She was never beautiful, always lacking in feminine charm. Strong she must have been, for she lived to bury nearly all the courtiers and statesmen who surrounded her at her accession. She com- manded no personal loyalty� her popularity was with those who did not know her per- sonal! ly. . � Whether she remained a virgin we shall probably never know, nor does it very much matter. Her coquetry was so blatant that it appears assumed. She was by temperament a child of the ALL LIFE'S A METAPHOR SEEK AN UPWARD ONE Robert Frost Claims Poet Leaves Trail of Metaphors in Wake; Philosopher Evolves One ART ASPIRATION, NOT ESCAPE FRONT VIEW OF QOODHART HALL NEW METHODS IN SCHOOLS DESCRIBED BY DR. DENGLER DR. FEARN CALLS OUR ATTITUDE TOWARD WORLD FALSE AND BAD Experiments Bring Great Success in Scientific Child Development CONTINUED ON PACK 4 ROOTABAGA STORIES AND POEMS READ BY CARL SANDBURG Snsqnehanaah, Bozo and Pink Peony Art Introduced to Bryn Mawr Carl Sandburg, speaking under the aus- pices of the Liberal Club, oh Tuesday eve- ning, January 19, faced a large audience in spite of the "winter of our discontent," the midyear season, and he amsued and charmed, them. He lectured, he read, he sang, and he' made jokes. Most impor- tant of all, he proved that you have to learn how to read free verse: "Elephants are Different .to Different People" is a different poem whetPy^i understand the author's rhythm. Making a comparison between art and geography, Mr. Sandburg pointed out the variety of opinions on one subject held within a small region of a country and the diverse views on art Related to this is the habit of classifying things in comparative lists, "great, greater, great- est;" "a tort of national trait in Amer- ica." Confusion is increased by the speed and complexity of life today. "We are living at a time when it is more difficult for a thoughtful and imagi- native person to be alive than ever before," said Mr. Sandburg; "more things come at us, in books, movies, or on the radio. So in all art today there is a cer- tain element of confusion, of chaos." But free verse is not a mere product CONTINUED ON PAGB S "On the Way to a New School: the Class Community D System" was the subject of a lecture by Dr. Paul Dengler, Delegate of the Austrian Ministry for Public Instruction, on Thursday evening, February 4, in Rocke- feller Hall..... "In Austria, now a small, but free demo- cratic country, we have to establish not to reform the schools. Immediately after the world war we began this work," said Dr. Dengler. "Three kinds of schools were set up: elementary for children from six to ten years, secondary for those over ten, and advanced for the older scholars. Though the universities are generally more or less conservative all these schools were organized on the most advanced scientific basis. "In 1920 all the new ideas of psychology and education were being used in 250 ele- mentary schools," said Dr. Dengler. The Teachers' Chamber (made up of all the teachers in the country) decided that a sys- tem based on these new ideas should be tried for four years. In 1925 they reported on the results of the experiment: 95 per cent, were in favor of continuing the system. Today Austria is the only country in the world with all its elementary schools work- ing under this system. The contrast between the old school and the new was described by Dr. Dengler. In the new school there is a strong friendship between pupil and teacher; there is no definite schedule of classes and hours; the children ask most' of the questions, not the teachers. An effort is made to co-ordinate facts observed in everyday life with theories learned in school, through the "districts of life." "The first year these are the home of the child and the schoolhouse; the second, they are the village and the schoolhouse; the 'third, the county. Always the aim is to re- late the school to the environment in which its pupils must live. The idea is constantly emphasized in the work of the children, rather than meticulous zeal for correctness. Dancing and drawing help the pupils to use their imagination and express their personalities. Methods of organization were described by Dr. Dengler. The teachers have great freedom of administration, electing their rollegaues and the members of the Board of Education.

W. Feam, Warden of llit- Church of the Mystical Union, London, England, led the chapel service in Taylor, Sunday evening, February 7. "The only ones to whom you can talk about sanity are those who know they are not sane," said Dr. Fearn. "TliaJ is why I may speak to you." Sanity, in Dr. Fearn's conception, means wholeness, completeness of being. We do not even approach sanity unless we desire to be more sane, to l>e as "Metaphors" replaced the subject "Beyond Prose and Reason," announced for Robert Prost's talk on January 15. As the fourth Ann Elisabeth Sheblc Memorial lecturer, Mr. Frost spoke informally on the poet's profession, how lie recognizes poets, how he writes his poetry, and read some of his own poems. After reading three poems which Quiller- Couch had called to his attention as particu- larly Rood, Mr. Frost, without disclosing their author, suggested that everyone should try himself by two sophistication tests. One <>t these would'measure the range of appre- ciation of l>cauty, the other the degree of auger roused in one by things that don't really matter. A machine in this case would balance your wrath and the actual unimpor- tance of the thing involved. For Mr. Frost, the limit of his anger is reached when he decides to leave the country, and something \vhicli arouses this auger is the statement that all art is an escape. "AH life," says Mr. Frost, "is metaphor." Ami one might diligently pray to be deliv- ered from any terrible downward metaphor, because it has the power of killing one as it killed one of his friends who became pos- sessed of the idea that there was in the cured human heads (ran Venezuela a resemblance to a person whom he dearly loved. One is perfect as possible and to perfect the world., indeed the victim of one's, metaphors, and Science in this conception is never "exact," but approaches exactness when it"is "based on principles that are ascertainable." The science of santy is the "ix>tential possiblitics of anyone who wants to plumb the depths of being, to find out why they were called into being." "If our attitude is intellectual or senti- mental it is wrong, since in each case it is appallingly lopsided." The intellectual "lives by proxy and is a nonentity;" the sentimen- talist goes to the other extreme and is a "squib fizzling through life.' We must use what little sanity we have to learn something of what are heaven's meth- ods of creating better men. In other words, where are we essentially non-sane ? We for- get that the spirit is submerged in the flesh and we mistake the world for a permanent abiding place where we are to get the most pleasure possible through the flesh, when in reality it is an educational establishment for the- world of the super-sense." "Religion is the exact opposite of what most people consider it to be. It is not sentimentality, a form of eroticism, or a soothing narcotic. It is the,realization of union or reunion with a living Spirit Which is God." We must renounce the world and everything of the flesh if we are to attain this union. Again our outlook on economics is funda- mentally wrong. If we would give labor its proper valuation and not degrade it as a means of money-making, but look upon it as a method for improving man, we would have a saner world. "We must live through the physical mechanism for the higher evolution of the spirit, and this we cannot do if we live for the flesh." Dr. Fearn concluded by saying that "Our wholeness, that is our sanity, con- sists in a realization of the fact that every man. woman and child is a dynamic force that may be raised by concentration of the spirit, and shattered by focusing on thet must search for an upward metaphor to combat the downward ones.

R.E.A.C.H. Day
Rush Pikes Peak hosted their first annual R.E.A.C.H (Rush Equipment Assisting Children) Day on October 3. Please see below for an article from Rush Pikes Peak R.E.A.C.H. Coordinator Polly Fiedler.
Rush Equipment Assisting Children, that is what REACH stands for, and it does exactly that and so much more.
This program started in 2002 with Virginia Rush, and the next year was greatly expanded within the whole club with coordination from the national office in Denver. With Donna Pettigrew at the helm, they collected 10,000 pieces of soccer equipment to donate to struggling Rush teams that first year, 2003. In 2004, 5 tons of equipment were shipped to Iraq in conjunction with the military and General Petraeus. The military delivered it overseas. Since then, REACH has shipped equipment to Afghanistan, South Africa, Mexico, Thailand, Mali, Ghana, Kenya, Haiti, South Africa, Togo, Gambia, Cameroon, and Senegal. For children who struggle with getting an education and housing and food, having their own soccer team and uniform and equipment is huge for their self-esteem.
Recently we have realized an even more far-reaching effect of this program. There is a prostitution kidnapping scheme that occurs in South Africa. You can see a video of this on YouTube called "Lost Soccer Boys". Supposed agents approach families saying they will take their sons to Europe and put them on a reputable team in exchange for thousands of dollars. Then the boys are no longer heard of and prostituted. They are finding that this is decreasing just by the mere presence of Rush teams in South Africa because now the boys have somewhere to play at home and do not need to look outside of their country.
In addition, the military has chosen REACH as its charitable organization to do its last big goodwill effort in Afghanistan before pulling out in 2014.
This November 2012, Rush ambassadors, players who help with this program, have an opportunity to go to South Africa to do volunteer work there for kids from 6-13 years of age in an orphanage in a poor suburb of Durban, South Africa. The ambassadors will help with coaching education, put on a soccer tournament for the kids, hold a soccer camp for them, and participate in a Children's Festival, which is a special day like Christmas for these children that occurs yearly. There will be three ambassadors from Colorado Springs going, all from Brian Lux's U16G Nike team, Stephanie Deines, Amy Gargala, and Jenna Hartley. This is an amazing opportunity for the ambassadors as well as the kids in Africa.
We will also be having our first REACH Day here in the Springs for the developmental teams to collect gear and raise awareness about REACH on October 3rd. There will be a soccer tournament as well as a BBQ in exchange for bringing used soccer gear.
HOW YOU CAN HELP: We collect used gear (clean and shoes tied together and balls deflated please) at the office all year long. There is a box there. In addition, there is the Used Uniform for Credit program. When your team orders new uniforms, you can turn in you old uniform for a $20 credit to your team account. Be sure to ask your team manager about it or contact Polly Fiedler at firstname.lastname@example.com, 719-444-0141.

Barack Obama to join annual ASEAN summit in Cambodia
November 18, 2012
SOUTHEAST Asian leaders have started annual talks set to focus on territorial rows, a controversial declaration on human rights and deadly ethnic unrest in Myanmar (Burma).
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit started today after months of acrimony within the 10-member bloc over how to handle disputes with China over rival claims in the South China Sea.
The maritime tensions were expected to be high on the agenda at the summit in Cambodia, as well as during two days of expanded talks starting on Monday that will include US President Barack Obama and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao.
ASEAN Secretary General Surin Pitsuwan said the bloc was ready to present a united front to China over the issue, after proposing on Saturday a hotline with its giant Asian neighbour aimed at defusing tensions.
"There is a good intention to push the momentum forward," Surin said in an interview today just ahead of the opening of the talks.
Rival claims to the South China Sea have for decades made the waterways, home to some of the world's most important shipping lanes and believed to sit atop vast natural resources, a potential military flashpoint.
China insists it has sovereign rights to nearly all of the sea, including waters close to the coasts of its Asian neighbours.
ASEAN members Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei, as well as Taiwan, also have sometimes overlapping claims to the sea.
Tensions escalated this year amid complaints by the Philippines and Vietnam that China was becoming increasingly aggressive in staking its claim to the sea, including by employing bullying diplomatic tactics.
An ASEAN foreign ministers' meeting in Phnom Penh ended in July without issuing a joint communique for the first time in the bloc's 45-year history because of divisions over how to handle the South China Sea issue.
The Philippines and Vietnam had wanted the communique to make specific reference to their disputes with China, but were thwarted by Cambodia, the host of the talks and a close Chinese ally.
In one of the major set pieces for Sunday, ASEAN leaders endorsed a declaration they say will enshrine human right protections for the bloc's 600 million people.
''It's a legacy for our children,'' Philippine Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario told reporters today after the signing ceremony.
Hun Sen

But critics said it fell well below global standards and slammed the lack of transparency and the absence of consultation with civil society groups during the drafting of the text.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay and more than 60 rights groups called this month for the pact to be postponed amid concerns it undermined universal human rights standards by allowing loopholes for governments.
ASEAN's members have a wide range of political systems, from authoritarian regimes in Vietnam and Laos at one end of the spectrum to the freewheeling democracy of the Philippines at the other.
However, drafts of the pact have drawn widespread criticism from human rights groups, which say it allows loopholes for governments.
ASEAN's members have a wide range of political systems, from authoritarian regimes in Vietnam and Laos at one end of the spectrum to the freewheeling democracy of the Philippines at the other.
And even as the rights pact is signed, ASEAN leaders will on Sunday have to focus on violence in Myanmar's Rakhine state between Muslim and Buddhist communities that has left 180 people dead since June.
Surin said ASEAN foreign ministers discussed the violence during meetings on Saturday, the same day as the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation branded attacks on the minority Rohingya Muslims as "genocide".
Surin says ASEAN leaders may voice official concern in their end-of-summit statement on Sunday.
Directly before travelling to Phnom Penh, Obama will on Monday make a historic visit to Myanmar to reward and further encourage political developments by the new reformist government there.
Rights groups have also urged him to raise concerns over the violence in Rakhine.
Obama's aides have already said he will raise "grave concerns" in Phnom Penh over Cambodia's rights record and the need for political reform when he meets Prime Minister Hun Sen.
"We'll continue to make clear that we want to see greater political freedom in Cambodia," said Ben Rhodes, a deputy US national security adviser who is travelling with Obama.
ASEAN leaders are also aiming to use the Phnom Penh talks to push forward a planned giant free trade zone with China, Japan, South Korea, India, Australia and New Zealand.
Negotiations for the free trade area, which would account for roughly half the global population and around a third of the world's annual gross domestic product, are set to be officially launched on Tuesday.

Microsoft has announced Kin, a new Windows-based social networking phone.
Its hardware design was developed in partnership with Sharp to create a social phone portfolio with two models called Kin One and Kin Two. Both phones feature a touch screen and slide-out keyboard. One is more compact, while Two offers a larger screen and keyboard, in addition to more memory, a higher resolution camera, and the ability to record high-definition video, the company said.
The 5 and 8 megapixel cameras in One and Two, respectively, are designed for use in low light with image stabilization and a bright LumiLED flash.
Microsoft, which previously only focused on operating system development, entered the phone device market when it acquired Danger Inc, maker of the Sidekick devices, in 2008. Kin devices are the first products of the acquisition.
Kin will be exclusively available from Verizon Wireless in the US beginning in May and from Vodafone this autumn in Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom.
