Where are we at with this demo folks?
Merry Christmas Eric. Need to move them along, was just swamped with the holidays and going to different family since last Wed and will be finished later today. I can meet you or try to get mailing labels from Jon S and send to ScottyBoy. Scott is unable to travel up to my place to pick up and I can't make a one day 10hr trip right now either so getting them to Conradicles would be easier, but I do want to make arrangements with Jon or Eric and figure out how to keep Scott in the rotation.
After these two, who is next on the list? ANy members in Charlotte or Atlanta that want in on this?
I'll try to PM Jon S later today and see which direction he wants to go with them.
It's been a great experience and I'll be sad to see them go. The wife really likes the bookshelf size in our den much more than the 2.3TL's lol...
Can I demo the 2.3tls too lol?
Eric- pm your contact # and if you are able to talk today. The 2.3's may be avail early next year. Due to financial needs they may have to go.
PM sent to Travis and John S...
Talked to Conradicles tonight. He will have these soon and then Scottyboy should be next. These are phenominal speakers so don't miss out on a great opportunity. Full review in a few days.
What areas of the country is the 707's in? Are they due to see the east coast?
My personal quest is to save to world of bad audio, one thread at a time.
Well the 703s arrived to me today. Initial thoughts are very good. These things sound great!
It was my first exposure to a higher end bookshelf speakers and I was blown away. Still like floorstanders better with a 3yr old running around and would love to hear the 705 or 707's.
No, see above. Conradicles has them now.
They are packed and ready to go. Jon_S has been informed and I think scottyboy was next in line.

Would love to get the 707's in Houston. Willing to drive anywhere from San Antonio to New Orleans to pick them up!
If the 707s ever come north towards Boston/New Hampshire, I'd love to have a chance to audition them. It might be possible for me to travel as far as the NYC metro area to pick them up.
I would live to compare them with my mod'd SRSs and 1Cs.

jon s's box is full, might explain no word for the past month and no action authorizing me to get the demo 703s.
Hell 2 years you wait, doro assures you you are in, you play the game, tell anybody who wants them to go ahead, enjoy, nowpffffffffffffft.
If i were able to leave deb long enough, i would drive to pick them up, but conradicles says not without jons sayso,so right back to square one.

I emailed Jon s...he will get back with us soon.
Anybody know where Mark is? I see that his last post here was over two months ago.

I'm not trying to bypass any rules or step on toes, but I think it's up to us to an extent to keep these moving. Lack of response from Jon_S is unfortunate, but I am sure this is a very small part of the large plate of work he is responsible for. If we go back to pg 17 of this thread and post #482 his last instructions had ScottyBoy on the demo list after your turn. I don't see a problem with the members paying shipping if they are willing to have the chance to demo.
Obviously all communication needs to be open and most should be on this thread as to who has current possession and who is next in line. Shipping details can be handled thru email or PM or ph calls. If Eric and Scott could work out shipping logistics I say they should go to Scotty while we are waiting for response from Jon as to who is next in line. He is on a time crunch due to want/need to sell some of his gear, but has waited patiently for almost 2 years to be part of this demo. I think there are a few Charlotte or Atlanta members that would like to be given the opportunity to go after Scott.
Polk has been unbelievable in giving us members the chance to demo $1500 speakers and though it would be a bonus for them to provide shipping labels to send to each destination, I think those wanting to demo should be willing to step up and pay for shipping as necessary so we are not waiting 2 months between demos for the controller of the demo to get a label sent to us. Maybe on the next go around if we get another chance those that want to demo can pre pay into a shipping fund via paypal if they are serious and want to experience Polks latest and greatest it should not be a big deal to pay $25-40 for the opportunity. I would truly hate to see the plug pulled on the demo program if we can't be responsible enough to keep it moving forward.
Well said Travis. Maybe Tom would like to demo them since they are already in Charlotte if Scotty can't work something out *right now*, then they could to to Scotty. Just an idea, I'm sure Jon would be fine with Tom grabbing them for a few weeks. Anything to keep them rolling..
I'd be happy to give them a whirl followed by an extensive review. I have heard many good things about them but have yet to lay my ears on them. I can even bring them down to Jerry's and meet up with Scotty [perhaps even dropping them off at Scotty's], so there are no shipping "mishaps". Whereabouts are they in Charlotte?

Thanks for the input guys. I just want to see everyone get a chance for this great demo program. I need to go back and find the link to where we are supposed to post our reviews after demoing the 703's. Tom I appreciate the offer to take to Scotty but I think timing is his biggest issue right now. He has his amp and pre up for sale with buyers ready after his demo period. I realize this may be his choice and might keep him out of the game, but hate to see that happen after waiting so long for a chance.
That being said, Conradicles currently has them and he is in the Hickory NC area. When I finished the demo he graciously agreed to use his fedex account to pay for shipping with a nice discount compared to the average joe taking them and dropping off. When I took them to FedEx with the labels to ship they refused to insure if sent in the existing boxes (see damage from one time and first time shipped to Cody) I went ahead and paid FedEx to place in new boxes with their supplied paper stuffing. So they should be in good shape to ship now.
Let's wait for Conradicles to respond. I know he has put pm out to JonS and was waiting on a response when I talked to him last week. I'm sure he's stuck in the position that he doesn't want to do anything to upset the folks at Polk and is trying to get the go ahead. I don't blame him just feel like all of us wanting in on these programs need to play a bigger role in keeping the ball rolling if possible without causing more headaches for the staff overseeing the program. I assume they would be happy to take a more hands off approach if everyone could take care of the merchandise and not have issues like what happened on the west coast with the big 707's. The logistics of the big 707's (shipping and transport) are obviously more difficult as well as the distance between polkies out west.
If they need for Scotty to sell his gear before getting the go ahead from polk I'll do everything in my ability to take a pre and amp down to Georgia so he can hear them. Love him and Deb's company, but it's a 5hr drive down and the 5 back so makes for a long day and it's hard for me to break free from home to do an overnight stay. When there's a will there's a way so we will make something happen.
Oh, I didn't realize that Eric has them [I know where his location is]. I did not mean to step on anybody's toes here or get out of line. Whatever y'all choose is good with me. I will be going down to the Atlanta area within the month and can pass them off to anybody down that way while I'm down there. I do know that we have plenty of Atlanta Polkies but I have no idea whether they are slated to be in line or if they are even interested in this demo to begin with. Just LMK and I'll roll with whatever.

You didn't step on any toes Tom. This is what communication is about. I'm just rooting for my buddy Scotty to get a chance but understand why Eric has to wait for a response. Maybe in that response we can get some more leeway from Jon_S at to how to handle in the future with shipping, handoffs, ect...

The success of international police investigations is dependent upon the availability of up-to-date, global data.
At INTERPOL, we provide our member countries with instant, direct access to a number of criminal databases. These contain millions of records, contributed by countries across the world.
Maximizing the reach
All databases, except IBIN (INTERPOL Ballistic Information Network), are accessible real-time through the I-24/7 network which connects all INTERPOL National Central Bureaus (NCBs).
We are developing web server solutions to extend access beyond our NCBs to frontline law enforcement officers, such as border guards, allowing them to search the databases on wanted persons, stolen and lost travel documents and stolen motor vehicles.
I-link is a new operating system, being continually developed to improve the quality and uniformity of data, and to enable investigators to make links between cases that would not previously have been apparent.
Main databases
The figures cited below are accurate as of December 2013.
|Nominal Data – contains more than 155,000 records on known international criminals, missing persons and dead bodies, with their criminal histories, photographs, fingerprints, etc.
| Notices – our system of notices is used to alert police to fugitives, suspected terrorists, dangerous criminals, missing persons or weapons threats. In 2013, more than 13,000 Notices were issued, of which more than 8,000 were Red Notices for wanted persons.
|Stolen and Lost Travel Documents – holds information on more than 40 million travel documents reported lost or stolen by 167 countries. This database enables INTERPOL National Central Bureaus and other authorized law enforcement entities (such as immigration and border control officers) to ascertain the validity of a suspect travel document in seconds.
|Child sexual exploitation images – More than 3,000 victims from more than 40 countries and more than 1,900 offenders have been identified using this database.
|Fingerprints – we manage an Automated Fingerprint Identification System which contains more than 198,000 sets of fingerprints contributed by 180 countries.
|DNA Profiles – contains more than 140,000 DNA profiles from 69 countries. DNA profiles are numerically coded sets of genetic markers unique to every individual and can be used to help solve cri
Firearms – The INTERPOL Firearms Reference Table allows investigators to properly identify a firearm used in a crime (its make, model, calibre, etc.). It contains more than 250,000 firearms references and 57,000 high-quality images. The INTERPOL Ballistic Information Network is a platform for the large-scale international sharing and comparison of ballistics data, holding more than 200,000 records.
The INTERPOL Illicit Firearms Records and tracing Management System (iARMS) is an information technology application which facilitates information exchange and cooperation between law enforcement agencies on firearm-related crime.
|Stolen Works of Art – allows member countries to research records of around 43,000 pieces of artwork and cultural heritage reported stolen all over the world.
|Stolen Motor Vehicles – provides extensive identification details on more than 7.2 million vehicles reported stolen around the world. In 2013, around 117,000 stolen motor vehicles were identified using the database.
|Fusion Task Force – a database of more than 10,000 persons suspected of being linked to terrorist activities. More than 160 member countries currently contribute to terrorism related matters.
|Stolen Administrative Documents – contains information on more than 590,000 official documents which serve to identify objects, for example, vehicle registration documents and clearance certificates for import/export.
|Dial-Doc (Digital INTERPOL Alert Library – Document) – is a joint G8-INTERPOL initiative, which allows countries to share at global level alerts produced nationally on newly detected forms of document counterfeiting.

Local Patients Share Affordable Care Act Experiences and Expectations
December 4, 2012 | WMFE - The Affordable Care Act was passed in 2010. But key provisions of the reform haven't kicked in yet, leaving many people uncertain about the quality and cost of care under the new law. For some local patients, however, the act is already bringing about changes.
Nearly everyone in the country will be affected by the law's requirement to carry health insurance by 2014, so there's no shortage of potential patients with strong opinions about the legislation.
One of them is Orlando mom Kate O'Neal, for whom healthcare reform has already been a lifesaver.
"My daughter's alive because of the Affordable Care Act," she says.
Before Obamacare, O'Neal's daughter Caitlin aged out of the family's health insurance policy when she turned 22. But when the law was enacted in 2010, allowing children to stay on their parent's insurance until age 26, she was able to get back on the family plan.
And that was vital, O'Neal says, because without coverage, a trip to the doctor would not have been in the cards when Caitlin got sick a few months later.
"She said to me, 'Yeah, I've got this rash, and it looks like bug bites.' And I said, 'You know what? We have insurance right now, go in and get that checked out,'" recalls O'Neal.
And she was shocked at Caitlin's diagnosis. Doctors said her daughter had MRSA, a potentially fatal bacterial infection that's resistant to many antibiotics.
O'Neal still shudders when she thinks about what could've happened if Caitlin didn't have health insurance. "We might've lost her...over something that's completely treatable if caught early. Especially when caught early."
Caitlin is now 25 and healthy, and under Obamacare, she's eligible to stay on the family policy one more year. But there's a new concern. O'Neal's health insurance from her former full-time job lapses in February. After that, she'll fall between the cracks of the healthcare system, making too much money to qualify for Medicaid but not enough to afford health insurance for her three children and herself. At least, she says, until she can get covered through the Affordable Care Act.
"So we're just kind of in limbo until then, trying to figure out what's going to work," says O'Neal.
According to policy experts, O'Neal is not alone. Aaron Liberman is a professor of Health Services Administration at the University of Central Florida. He says the best part of healthcare reform is it will insure 32 million Americans that currently don't have health coverage.
But Liberman doesn't think the law goes far enough. "It's a start down a very long road toward a universal system of healthcare coverage, and that's something that I view as absolutely essential for the citizens of the United States," he says.
Not everyone thinks universal coverage is the best solution, or even agrees on what that means, just as some people are not supporters of the Affordable Care Act.
"Telling everybody that they have to have insurance is not necessarily the best way to fix this," says Daniel Jones, owner of a small landscaping business in Orlando. He says he doesn't want to see people going without care, and that the healthcare system does need changes to bring costs down, but parts of it still work.
"My daughter was born with a congenital heart defect, and my insurance company's been wonderful about paying every single one of the expenses that's ever come up," he notes.
Jones says he currently cannot offer health benefits to his twelve employees because it's cost-prohibitive. And under the Affordable Care Act, he still won't have to, since it's only businesses with 50 or more employees that must provide coverage or pay a fine. Still, Jones says, he's expecting his wallet to take a hit, along with everyone else's.
"I do know in my personal insurance, I've seen my premiums go up more in the last two years than they did in the preceding five years. That's attributed directly to the beginning stages of the Affordable Care Act," he says. "I expect to see a lot more of those things happen throughout the economy. So, that will affect me."
UCF healthcare expert Aaron Liberman predicts there will indeed be changes that ripple through the economy, but it's hard to say if costs will go up or down in the long run. He does expect the law to be a work in progress, much like Medicare, which began in 1966 and is still undergoing changes.
"I believe this is going to go on for the next half-century at least, with respect to healthcare reform," says Liberman.
For Orlando mom Kate O'Neal, Obamacare's major changes can't come soon enough.
"I don't know everything that's going on. I just know that when it kicks in fully, I'll be able to get coverage again," she says. "And that'll be extremely valuable, to all of us."
Florida lawmakers have to decide whether to set up and run the state's insurance exchange that will offer coverage for O'Neal and about a million other residents, or leave it up to the federal government.

I'm curious to know if anyone else can hear some resonating in their SDA SRS's?
The resonating is produced by frequencies generated by electric guitar.
One of my theories is that the back panel of the speaker is resonating from these certain frequencies.
The other theory is that the resonating is being produced by the mid drivers themselves.
My Onkyo amps aren?t real stout when driving the SRS's at moderate to high levels.
Is it possible that when the amps get taxed they are producing unwanted frequencies into the mid drivers?
Has anyone used sound deadening material on the inside back panel of the speaker cabinet, or installed a cross brace?

Who do you believe would have medaled in the 1996 AA had all the top AA contenders hit? I believe it would have been Podkopayeva, Huilan, and Amanar, in one order or another. Pick the 3 you think.
Who do you believe would have medaled in the 1996 AA had all the top AA contenders hit? I believe it would have been Podkopayeva, Huilan, and Amanar, in one order or another. Pick the 3 you think.
Ooops I just realize I left Moceanu out of the poll.
Apparently I agreed with everyone else. LOL!
Pod, Huilan and Dawes. If not Dawes then Miller. I think they would have gotten one US gymnast on there if they hit but bronze could have been theirs without judges help if they maxed out their scores. It would have been close between them for bronze.

Of course there is a wide definition of hitting. When a gymnast has hops on 2 or 3 of their dismounts and another has none you often say both hit and yet the field was so close this year that would have made a big difference in the results. If all the gymnasts had done their best routines with stuck landings and no obvious mistakes these are my estimates on their scores and the final standings:
Mo Huilan- 9.85 vault, 9.85 bars, 9.90 beam, 9.75 floor. 39.350 total
Lilia Podkopayeva- 9.80 vault, 9.825 bars, 9.825 beam, 9.9 floor, 39.350 total
Simona Amanar- 9.85 vault, 9.80 bars, 9.75 beam, 9.85 floor, 39.250 total
Dawes- 9.75 vault, 9.85 bars, 9.825 beam, 9.825 floor, 39.250 total
Kochetkova- 9.70 vault, 9.825 bars, 9.825 beam, 9.825 floor- 39.175 total
Moceanu- 9.70 vault, 9.80 bars, 9.85 beam, 9.825 floor, 39.175 total
Gogean- 9.80 vault, 9.70 bars, 9.80 beam, 9.825 floor- 39.125 total
Milosovici- 9.75 vault, 9.75 bars, 9.80 beam, 9.80 floor- 39.100 total
Galieva- 9.775 vault, 9.775 bars, 9.850 beam, 9.700 floor- 39.100 total
Miller- 9.75 vault, 9.75 bars, 9.875 beam, 9.700 foor- 39.075 total
Khorkina- 9.70 vault, 9.85 bars, 9.80 beam, 9.70 floor- 39.050 total
So I guess what I see in that scenario would have been Podkopayeva and Huilan fighting for gold. Amanar and Dawes fighting for bronze. Kochetkova and Moceanu with an outside shot to medal but probably fighting to get into the top 5. Gogean, Milosovici, and Galieva lower down in the top 10. Miller and Khorkina fighting for the final spot in the top 10. I am surprised Miller and Khorkina have any votes to be honest, especialy Khorkina who actually did hit all her routines that night and was still virtually out of it going into the last event even with all the mistakes.

On another note if Podkopayeva and little Mo had hit all their routines cold I would have been slightly dissapointed if Lilia had won. I know by results she was considered the top gymnast at the time but Mo at her best is the slightly better all around gymast IMO. The only even Lilia is better than a completley "on" Mo is floor, granted she is much better on floor, but I would still give it to Huilan in that scenario.
Judgejudy, Miller scored a 9.762 on compulsory and 9.75 on optional bars in the aa. I find it a little odd to think she would only score 9.750 if she hit her best set. I think she could have gone 9.800 if her dismount went up more and she landed it more upright. She stuck her double layout in optionals but she barely got the dismount around. She also scored higher than the 9.85 you list for her beam, during every single optional performance she gave. I think it is fair to think she could have gone 9.900 if she stuck her dismount which, while she came so close, she never quite did in Atlanta. She always had a small shuffle of a foot or something, an outright stick would have surely resulted in a higher score. I'm just noticing you gave many athletes the option of scoring a bit higher than they did during the competition but for some reason you think Miller would have scored lower on beam than she did during any other phase? Quite odd.

"Michelle would never be caught with sausage grease staining her Vera Wang." - rfisher
Shannon actually did hit her best bars set in the AA final with a stuck landing and got a 9.750. So I dont even have to speculate there. She isnt capable of doing the double layout dismount on bars that well as far as form and amplitude, she never has, especialy not in later years with her bigger body. She did a 9.787 in team finals on bars but all the scores were higher that day. To witness just look at Simona Amanar's scores from team optionals in Atlanta:
vault- 9.887, bars- 9.825, beam- 9.800, floor- 9.887.
The same goes for Miller's double layout on floor. She is capable of landing it on floor much better than she did in Atlanta, but only with somewhat bent knees and not much power (eg- the one she did at U.S Nationals).
As for beam she scored a 9.862 on every beam routine she did in Atlanta. The one she did in the AA was stuck cold and the one she did in team optionals and event finals had the smallest shuffle. Except on vault judges hardly deduct anything even for small regular hops, let alone a tiny shuffle, which indicates as I suspect no deduction or difference from the judges. I was doing an rough estimates on the scores which is why I said 9.850 rather than 9.862, but yes I could change that to 9.862 easily. If one actually assumes the judges would ever deduct half a tenth for a tiny shuffle (outside of vault they clearly dont going over all the scores gymnasts get with and without landing errors) then I should assume they had deducted .3 for Mo's huge hop backwards on her AA beam routine and assume she was scoring a 10.1 with a stuck landing too. If one takes the supposed status deductions for landings literally than one would have to assume Amanar, Podkopayeva, Kochetkova would have all scored 9.887 in bar events finals and buried Khorkina, Chow, and Bi with a stuck landing too as they had a regular hop each (if a tiny shuffle is half a tenth, a regular hop would have to be a tenth). Yet even assuming the half tenth for each with their regular hops on landing that would have given each a 9.837 and 5 way tie with Chow and Bi for silver seems unlikely.

Yes but Miller got a 9.862 on her beam sets and they all had one obvious error. During team optionals and EF she took the small step/shuffle on her dismount. During her AA set she had a very obvious step back during her flight series. I know steps on series are not the same as a step on vault or during a dismount but it was obvious and I doubt many judges over looked it. Her dismount was also awfully close to being one of those "hurry up and salute before I step back" dismounts. I know the difference is not much but I think she was capable of 9.900 if she had no errors and since she scored 9.862 each time with one small error, I can only think her score would have possibly gone up even if only by a small small amount.
I lover arguing gymnastics so I don't mean to be "fighting" or anything. Just really fun to discuss and dissect these routines that I have seen thousands of times by now!
Her AA beam routine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTYaZ...eature=related
"Michelle would never be caught with sausage grease staining her Vera Wang." - rfisher
As for the others I gave the option of scoring higher:
Lilia- on bars she actually bent her knees badly on her low to high bar transition early which is a big mistake, and was very lucky the judges didnt deduct more and got a 9.8. Who knows what they really deducted but they should have decucted something. On beam she had a big hop on the dismount and scored a 9.787, her other 2 beam performances in Atlanta were 9.825.
Mo- She did not stick her landing on bars in any of her routines actually. Big step on one of her Yurchenko double fulls,. On bars double layout dismount landed forward with small step on both her optional bar routines (and the idea of her scoring any lower than 9.85 with a stick with that amazing routine would be crazy), and bounded way backwards with a hug hop on her beam dismount.
Galieva- I didnt see any of her optional vaults except for event finals. I based her scoring potential basically on her yurchenko 1 1/2 from there.
Kochetkova- I dont remember her routines from the AA too well. I based her scoring potential on her event final routines, all which had visible errors of some kind and did not max out her scoring potential.
Amanar- she didnt stick any landing except for vault, and on floor she had a big mistake doing a single turn instead of the required double turn which cost her .1 (the only reason she didnt even end up beating her two teammates). Anyway her scoring potential is hard to figure as you can see in my post above in team optionals the judges were going crazy for her, yet in AA finals they were very lukewarm even for her good performances. That is another variable that makes it hard to consider all possible factors, some panels might really like a certain gymast, others might not.
I am not sure who else you might be referring to.
Mo also got a 9.8 on beam in the AA even with a monstrous out of control hop backwards on the dismount:
I am assuming they only took a tenth or at most a tenth and a half from a 9.9 or even 9.95 at most, since they never gave out perfect 10s then. So if that is all they took for that I cant imagine Miller did anything in any of her beam routines that was deducted at all.
Anyway I bumped Miller up to a 9.875 on beam. Her placing still doesnt change.
I am definitely not changing her bars score as I dont think she was capable of doing a bars set any better than her actual AA bars routine at all, and in addition a hit Miller bars routine definitely should not score equal to a Mo Huilan bar routine with a small step forward. Others are free to estimate their own scores for each gymast of course. Those are just my opinions based on how the judges were scoring the gymnasts throughout the Games for what they did.

Sympathy vote for Kochetkova. She was my favorite Russian of the 96 quad.
I am very surprised Khorkina has more votes than Kochetkova and Galieva. I dont think Khorkina was the top Russian AAer at the time of the 96 Games at all other than in hype perhaps. I know she had been 2nd at the 95 Worlds AA, however her vault and tumbling on floor in Atlanta were so weak, much worse than the previous 2 seasons even. When she hit she was getting 9.6-9.7 range scores on those events in Atlanta. Given that she did hit all her routines up until bars in Atlanta and still probably would have come in behind Gogean, Milosovici and Amanar (who had a big mistake on floor) for an AA medal even with her usual 9.85+ on bars even with all the mistakes that night, I thought of excluding her from the poll altogether. In fact if I could correct the poll I would probably replace her with Moceanu and move Khorkina in the category with Boginskaya and Piskun. If Grosheva hadnt had her 2 big mistakes in the team competition the scores say she actually would have bumped Khorkina from the AA that year too, and Khorkina had no mistakes in the team event.
I always laugh too at the fluff pieces hype in the aftermath that the fall on bars cost Khorkina the AA gold when she needed a score higher than 10 on bars to tie Lilia's total at that point. Many seemed to confuse how great a gymnast Khorkina would become with what her AA status in Atlanta really was.
Buzz's theoretical Olympics had seven medalists.
I'm biased though because Mo Huilan was my favorite gymnast of that quad.
"Corporation, n. An ingenious device for obtaining individual profit without individual responsibility." - Ambrose Bierce
Well Mo's floor choreography in 1996 was cheesy, she isnt anywhere near the dancer on floor that Lilia is, and her tumbling was nowhere near as powerful or clean as Lilia's. I agree that overall her tumbling passes were probably harder even with Lilia's incredibly had first pass.
"Corporation, n. An ingenious device for obtaining individual profit without individual responsibility." - Ambrose Bierce
My favorite floor routine of Lilia's was her 1994 one. If she were a big name she would have been getting 9.9+ on floor everytime out then IMO. I also really liked her 95 one. I loved Mo's floor routine in 94-95 but hated her 96 one.
Very difficult to say.
Mo Huilan and Dina Kochetkova were probably the finest gym at this time. But Lilia Podkopaieva was clearly the best.
My vote goes to : Lilia Podkopaieva, Svetlana Khorkina and Mo Huilan. With a special mention to Dina Kochetkova and Dominique Dawes.

Hypoglycemia is the condition of having a glucose (blood sugar) level that is too low to effectively fuel the body's blood cells. Glucose is the main source of fuel for the body. The good range of blood sugar, depending on the timing and nutritional content of the last meal consumed, is approximately 70 to 140 mg/dl (milligrams of glucose per deciliter of blood). However, consult your child's doctor for more specific information.
Hypoglycemia may be a condition by itself, or may be a complication of diabetes or another disorder. Hypoglycemia is most often seen as a complication of overdoing insulin in a person with diabetes, which is sometimes referred to as insulin reaction.
Causes of hypoglycemia in children with diabetes may include the following:
Too much medication; for instance, too much insulin or oral diabetes medication
Inaccurate blood-glucose readings
A missed meal
A delayed meal
Too little food eaten, as compared to the amount of insulin taken
More exercise than usual
Diarrhea or vomiting
Injury, illness, infection, or emotional stress
An additional cause of hypoglycemia in children includes a group of conditions called hyperinsulinism. This may occur as a result of abnormal cell development of the special "beta" cells in the pancreas that secrete insulin or from a mass in the pancreas. Some children are also born with errors in their beta-cell metabolism that can lead to hypoglycemia.
Other causes of hypoglycemia in children are rare. However, hypoglycemia may occur after strenuous exercise, during prolonged fasting, or as a result of taking certain medications or abusing alcohol.
The brain depends on blood glucose as its main source of fuel. Too little glucose can impair the brain's ability to function. Severe or prolonged hypoglycemia may result in seizures and serious brain injury.
The following are the most common symptoms for hypoglycemia. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Pale skin color
Sudden moodiness or behavior changes, such as crying for no apparent reason
Clumsy or jerky movements
Difficulty paying attention, or confusion
Tingling sensations around the mouth
The symptoms of hypoglycemia may resemble other problems or medical conditions. Always consult your child's doctor for a diagnosis.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, certain blood tests are performed to diagnose hypoglycemia.
When a child with diabetes has symptoms of hypoglycemia, the cause is usually an insulin reaction.
For those who have symptoms of hypoglycemia and do not have diabetes, the underlying disorder is diagnosed by:
Measuring blood sugar and multiple hormone levels while the child is experiencing the symptoms
Observing that the symptoms are relieved when the child eats food or sugar
Specialised lab tests to measure insulin action may also be performed.
Specific treatment for hypoglycemia will be determined by your child's doctor based on:
Your child's age, overall health, and medical history
Extent of the disorder
Your child's tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
Expectations for the course of the disorder
Your opinion or preference
For children with diabetes, the goal of treatment is to maintain a safe blood sugar level. This involves testing blood sugar often, learning to recognize oncoming symptoms, and treating the condition quickly, based on instructions given by your child's doctor.
To treat low blood sugar immediately, your child should eat or drink something that has sugar in it, such as orange juice, milk, cake icing, or a hard candy. For children who do not have diabetes, treatment for hypoglycemia may include:
Avoiding foods high in carbohydrates
Eating smaller meals more frequently
Frequent snacks
Eating a variety of healthy foods
Regular exercise
Children who have hyperinsulinism may require treatment with medications to decrease their production of insulin. In serious cases, the child may have to undergo surgery to remove the pancreas.

Open this link on your smartphone for mobile psychiatric emergency information.
You will be more effective when crisis comes if you are prepared for it. These steps will help. Click on one of these links to:
Learn about mental illness
Know the laws in your state
Identify community resources
Develop an emergency contacts list
Compile a psychiatric and medical history
Get a signed Release of Information form
Keep it all together
- LEARN ABOUT mental illness and its treatment. Our Media Library contains links to a number of informative videos on the subject.
- ATTEND meetings or classes about mental illness offered in your community. Your public library, community college and local NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) affiliate are typical sponsors.
- ENROLL in NAMI's 12-week "Family-to-Family" course for families of people with severe mental illness. The course is free, and the information is practical and useful. Your local NAMI affiliate will hve information.
- ASK TO MEET with your loved one's mental health provider(s) to get specific information about triggers and effective interventions in your own loved one.
- READ the family advocate issue of our Catalyst newsletter devoted to tools and strategies for family members and caregivers.
- DOWNLOAD AND PRINT "Eliminating Barriers: Tips for Advocates on Busting Through."
Know the laws in your state.
Several forms of psychiatric intervention exist to address mental health crises, but they differ from state to state. You must know the ones that apply where your loved one resides in order to use them. Separate laws apply to each of the following.
- Emergency hospitalization (sometimes called "psychiatric hold" or "pick-up")
- Civil inpatient and outpatient commitment (outpatient statutes do not exist in Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Mexico and Tennessee)
- Initiating court-ordered treatment
- HIPAA (the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and its "privacy rule")
- LOCATE the NAMI chapter nearest you. NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) is a family support and advocacy organization for people with psychiatric disorders and their families. Local chapters hold regular meetings. Local and state leaders are usually knowledgeable and willing to advise on the treatment options and procedures. Find your chapter online or via the national hotline at 1-800-950-NAMI (6264).
- NETWORK with other families you can identify who have loved ones with severe mental illness. Ask them what strategies worked – or didn't – in getting intervention for their loved ones in your community. Ask for the names of caring and effective service providers they know and other resources they have used with success. Your experience may be different, but it's good to know what others' have been.
- IDENTIFY the local facility or emergency room that performs emergency psychiatric evaluations. Call or visit and find out what procedures are followed when someone in a mental illness crisis presents there. Request copies of any relevant handouts they have outlining procedures.
- IDENTIFY any resources in your community for averting crisis or preventing one from escalating. One example is a hospital "safe room" where families or law enforcement may take someone who is becoming symptomatic, but not yet ill enough to be committed, and get temporary supervision or medication. A mobile crisis team is another.
Develop an emergency contacts list
Having an up-to-date and complete list of key people, agencies and organizations to contact makes it faster and easier to get appropriate help if and when an emergency develops. These are typical contacts in an emergency:
- Your standby support person(s) – the stable and reliable third party or parties willing to back you up in an emergency
- Mobile crisis team
- Psychiatric case manager
- Program of Assertive Community Treatment (PACT or ACT) team
- Local mental health center or county mental health department
- Telephone hotline numbers for different crises: mental illness, suicide, domestic violence
- Local hospital/emergency room
- Non-911 police/paramedic numbers that are answered 24/7 (e.g., local precinct)
- Crisis Intervention Team (CIT), if local law enforcement has one
- Local advocates who can advise or support you
- Sympathetic public official/elected official with whom you've established a relationship
- Homeless shelter(s)
- Friends of your loved one
- Employers or others who will need to be notified immediately if your loved one is hospitalized
- Legal Aid Services, public defender or private attorney familiar with mental health law
PROVIDE copies of this list to your standby support person and anyone who might be called upon to act in your absence.
MAKE multiple copies of the list. Keep a copy at home, at work, in your car, in the briefcase you carry on trips – anywhere you might be when a crisis arises. Store it in your portable electronic device. Wherever you are or wherever you go, never leave home without it
REVISIT and revise your list regularly to make sure numbers and names are up to date.
Compile a psychiatric and medical history and keep it up to date.
A brief, easy-to-read summary of vital statistics, psychiatric history and medication records may help medical providers make informed choices during a crisis. Limit this page to key facts.
- Full name and date of birth
- Full address
- Psychiatric diagnosis (e.g., schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder)
- Age at diagnosis
- Any other pertinent medical conditions (e.g., diabetes, allergies)
- Current symptoms
- Current condition (e.g., suicidal, homeless, missing, vulnerable, violent, abusing substances, other)
- Treating psychiatrist's name and number
- Local service provider's name and provider (e.g., mental health clinic, therapist)
- Current medication(s) including names and dosages
- Dates and locations of previous hospitalizations
- Any medication(s) that has/have helped in the past
- Any medication(s) that has/have not helped in the past
- History of symptomatic behaviors (e.g., running up huge debt, getting into car accidents, threatening family members, failing to care for basic needs)
- Date(s) and charge(s) of previous arrest(s)/incarceration(s)
- Current photograph
- Key physical characteristics: height, race, age, weight, hair color
- Full name, contact numbers and address for person(s) to be contacted in an emergency
Leave space to add a description of clothing last worn in case that information is needed.
Get a signed release of information form.
If possible, have your loved one sign an authorization/release of information form so that health care providers can talk with you in a crisis. Your local hospital, mental health department, medial provider or similar should be able to supply you with the form. File a copy with any local facility where your loved one might be treated in a crisis and keep the original in your CARE Kit (below).
Keep it all together.
We suggest storing all your key documents in a three-ring binder, a file box, or some other easy-to-carry system you can take with you easily in an emergency. Keep it in a place where you can find it quickly even in the confusion of a crisis. Using letter-sized, one-sided paper that can easily be faxed or emailed to police, hospitals and medical providers, mental health agencies and others will save time later. In addition to your emergency contacts and psychiatric/medical history, you may want to include handouts, forms and other informational materials like these:
- Copies of your state's standards for emergency hospitalization for evaluation and civil commitment laws (both inpatient and outpatient)
- Petition forms for civil commitment – multiple blank copies. Complete any fixed information ahead of time.
- A "What to Do in a Psychiatric Crisis" brochure with local resources and their contact information if an organization in your community has prepared one.
- Other handouts, brochures, other materials supplied to you previously by hospitals, law enforcement, mental health agencies, others.
- Authorization for release of information, already signed by your loved one, if applicable
- Advance directive, if applicable.

Hi there, I\'m not sure if my last message got to you so apologies if you get a query twice! I am meeting my sister and her husband for Xmas and new year and we would like to stay at your accommodation from 31/12/13 to 5/1/13. We would like to have 2 lots of accommodation, rather than being in the same one, and I noticed that you have a couple of them next door to each other. I wondered if you had availability over these dates for Orchid and Bougainvillea or for Flower and Hibiscus provided these are double beds and not twins. Any suggestions on alternative accommodation that you think we would be better suited to would be well received. We don\'t mind sharing if we can both have double beds so I wouldn\'t mind a quote for that as well, if that\'s ok. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks, Jo

Trust amongst investors and stakeholders will be strengthened by transparency, consistency and comparability in the social and environmental information accompanying company financial statements, says ACCA. The existing provisions entailed in the 4th Accounting Directive left a too broad discretion to companies when deciding whether or not and how to include sustainability information - and its scope - in their reports. As a result, less than 10% of the largest EU companies are currently disclosing such information regularly - and properly, which led to a lack of consistency of reporting practices across the EU and made benchmarking between companies difficult.
The global accountancy body therefore supports the newly published EU executive's proposals requiring certain large companies to disclose in their annual report a description of their policies, results and risk-related aspects in the areas of environmental, social, and employee-related matters, respect of human rights, anti-corruption and bribery aspects. Given ACCA's longstanding commitment toward the promotion of equality, we also strongly welcome the requirement for those enterprises to disclose in their corporate governance statement information relating to boards diversity, and fully endorse that companies should rely on internationally-accepted frameworks to do so.
Rachel Jackson, Head of Sustainability at ACCA says: "It is hoped that the latest EU proposals will significantly improve the level of transparency and comparability of corporate non-financial disclosures, as well as encourage companies to operate and plan to a longer time horizon. In addition to having to describe their policies, results and risk-related aspects in specific areas - as required by the EU proposals - , companies should take the opportunity to measure and disclose a comprehensive data set of all material non-financial issues. These should be supported by robust internal systems and the highest levels of governance. This approach will build trust with stakeholders, attract investors and help with the transition to operating in a green economy."
John Davies, Head of Technical at ACCA adds: "The new EU proposals are consistent with several other current developments which are changing the way that companies report on their activities. These other developments include the new framework being developed by the International Integrated Reporting Council, the revised guidelines being issued by the Global Reporting Initiative, and national initiatives such as the UK's new Strategy Report. Many companies are already applying sustainability reporting principles in practice and it is important that, to maximise the potential impact of the proposed new EU reporting requirements, they take account of all these developments and practices".
ACCA welcomes the "report or explain principle" approach entailed in the new proposal but warns against the implementation of such principle.
Rachel Jackson explains, "Further guidance is necessary to reduce any misinterpretation of the new requirements. The Non-Financial Reporting proposal is an opportunity to raise the standard of non-financial disclosure and it would be disappointing if the resulting disclosures were minimal and failed to change corporate behaviour. Simply disclosing a policy is quite straightforward so ensuring fundamental corporate change from these proposals is imperative. The EU now needs to provide information as to how such measures will be enforced, and what would be the consequences of non-compliance."
In addition, ACCA shares the European Commission's view that SMEs should not be subject to the new disclosure requirements. Nevertheless, the latter should have the possibility to do so on a voluntary basis should they wish to.
It is now time for public debate. In order to raise awareness and discuss the new measures, Aviva, ACCA and Eurosif - all members of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Coalition (CSRC)- are organising a high level multistakeholder roundtable entitled "Non-financial information disclosure: towards a more sustainable and comparable corporate reporting regime?" which will be co-hosted by MEPs Raffaele Baldassarre and Richard Howitt, on the 4th June 2013 at the European Parliament in Brussels.

Obituary: David Hillendahl, Petaluma outdoorsman, wildlife advocate
Published: Tuesday, February 5, 2013 at 6:59 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 5, 2013 at 6:59 a.m.
A longtime duck hunter, outdoorsman and advocate for wildlife, David Hillendahl of Petaluma died Thursday. He was 85.
"He really had a full life, all revolving around wildlife federations and nature," said his daughter, Lori Thornton of Tomales. "He had a bunch of old, close buddies from Petaluma. Up until the very end they were still old fishing and hunting buddies."
Hillendahl was born in Los Angeles, and at age 10 his family moved to a farm in Penngrove where he learned his love of nature, wildlife and hunting, Thornton said.
He served in the Army as a paratrooper stationed in Okinawa, Japan, during and after World War II and was discharged as a private first class in 1947 with victory and occupation medals, Thornton said.
Working as a maintenance supervisor at the Sonoma County Water Agency, Hillendahl loved his job of clearing creeks and ditches to help prevent flooding because it dovetailed with his interest in preserving wetlands.
Hillendahl channeled his passion for wildlife and game into several local groups, co-founding the Sonoma County Fish and Wildlife Commission, Pacific Flyway Decoy Association, Tomales Bay Shark and Stingray Derby and Petaluma Outdoorsman. He also served as president of Ducks Unlimited and chairman of the Sonoma County Fish and Wildlife Advisory Board.
At home, Hillendahl's freezer was always full of venison and fish. But his wife and daughter would never eat any of it, Thornton said.
"It was always a joke in our family," Thornton said about her parents' differing philosophies on hunting. "Whenever he wanted to eat elk and any of that stuff, she would say, 'You've got to cook it yourself.'"
Hillendahl's vast collection of duck decoys was more than just a hobby. When each of his grandchildren were born, Hillendahl would sell some decoys, worth $4,000 to $5,000, to help them start savings accounts, Thornton said.
"He could be sweet and generous and kind and jolly, and he would do anything for anybody. . . . He had a big heart," Thornton said. "He had another side to him, too, and everyone knows he was grumpy. If he didn't agree with you, he'd let you know."
In addition to Thornton, Hillendahl is survived by his wife, Madeline Hillendahl of Petaluma; his son, David Hillendahl Jr. of Petlauma; brothers Roger Hillendahl of Crescent City and Bill Jones of Rohnert Park; and four grandchildren.
A memorial service will be at 1 p.m. Feb. 9 at Parent-Sorenssen Mortuary and Crematory, 850 Keokuk St., Petaluma.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Petaluma Wildlife Museum, 201 N. Fair St., Petaluma, 94952.

Opinion | Features
Marketers are the ones whose reputations are most at risk if they are complicit in scam advertisingWith questions being raised over the integrity of some awards entries in recent weeks, former creative director Darren Woolley says scam can be as damaging for marketers as the agencies involved. Scam awards entries have come to industry attention again, following the most recent Cannes Lions Awards. In the process, several high profile advertisers have been associated with their agencies' entries. But what are the implications for the advertiser? It is a standard response that advertisers are not really interested in creative awards. But the fact is that marketers are human and those that have healthy and close working relationships with their agencies actually enjoy seeing them being recognised, especially for work they may have created together.
Terry Savage defends debated Cannes Lions entries saying 'Super Bowl ads run once'In a Q&A conducted by email, Terry Savage, chairman of the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity, defends the integrity of the competition and answers questions around scam ads following an investigation by Mumbrella into a series of ads from Australia entered into the Press category which ran just once in regional media. What is your definition of scam? "We require the work to have been approved by the client and to have used paid Media in the execution, if there is a query we get validation via the agency the client and the Media schedule that the work has run and complied within our entry rules. In the case of self promotion and NGO that is not the case."
Australian Women's Weekly editor on how its latest cover has changed industry attitudesThe cover of the July edition of the Australian Women's Weekly features the image of ultra-marathon bushfire survivor Turia Pitt, a move which surprised many in an industry driven by image. Editor-in-chief Helen McCabe spoke to Miranda Ward about how the cover came about, and its effect not only on the public, but also the beauty and fashion industries as we. The July cover of the Australian's Women's Weekly has done more to market "what the heart and soul of the magazine is" than anything else the magazine's editor-in-chief Helen McCabe has done in her five years at the helm. Speaking to Mumbrella about the July edition which featured Turia Pitt, a survivor of the bushfire that swept through an ultra-marathon in Western Australia's Kimberly region in September 2011, McCabe said the cover is "a really strong signal to market that this magazine is committed to Australian women, quality stories, independent journalism, long-form story telling and quality writing.
If you don't want to enter real work into awards, then fuck off and be an artistIn this guest post, awards jury veteran Matt Batten, a former ECD of Wunderman Australia, argues that the practice of scam advertising - raised by Mumbrella in recent days - hurts the whole industry. Reading from 10,553 miles away – that's 16,983km in the metric – I'd like to commend you on your dogged determination to find answers to the burning questions surrounding some of Australia's most intriguing Cannes Lions winners this year. Some say that this is the way of the world (at least our small part in it) and that creativity should be let free upon the award shows regardless of whether or not it was a legitimate response to a brief or a proactive project to help solve a genuine business problem for a real client – or a made-up ad for a brand that had no idea of its existence.
Does culture really eat strategy for breakfast?Good startups often point to their culture as a driver of their success, but Eaon Pritchard asks whether that culture can be derived without a clear strategy? Culture, in an organisational sense, is usually interpreted as the collective behaviours, attitudes and beliefs that — when mixed together — create a particular set of norms within said organisation. Obviously there can be 'good' culture and 'bad' culture.
Five things Wicked Campers needs to do online right nowWicked Campers has been in the midst of a media controversy over the last few days. Sebastian Vasta takes a look at how the brand could better manage the online and media crisis. The latest cry to end Wicked Campers' misogynist toilet humour is certainly not the first time the budget backpacker van company has been in trouble. But it's certainly the loudest the online outrage has ever been.
Cut here: Reshaping the ABCAfter the ABC unveiled its first round of cuts after having its funding cut in the last budget Ben Goldsmith of the Queensland University of Technology looks at how it might look in the future, in this cross-posting from The Conversation. Monday's announcement that the ABC will make 80 positions redundant is just the latest move in an enforced process of change to the public service broadcaster. It has a long way yet to run. The announcement finally put the lie to Tony Abbott's election eve pledge, live on national television, that there would be "no cuts to the ABC or SBS". In concert with other recent announcements, it seems clear that public broadcasting – and in particular the ABC – is squarely in the government's sights.

Two stats about Netflix that should scare Foxtel and QuickflixWith US streaming site Netflix poised to enter the Australian market next year Andrianes Pinantoan from Pocketbook crunched some numbers to see try and ascertain what the local pay-TV market already looks like now. Netflix is set to enter the Australian market, but that doesn't stop a few enterprising Australians from accessing it now. Actually, it's more than a few.
Family Feud's return confirms the state of game shows in AustraliaIn this cross-posting from The Conversation Matthew Wade argues the return of Family Feud shows Australia's TV networks are not interested in testing their audiences intellectually. Family Feud returns to our television screens tonight as part of Ten's desperate scramble to remain a viable entity, and is scheduled to compete with Seven and Nine's main news bulletins at 6pm.
An open letter to the staff of DDB Sydney and Saatchi & Saatchi SydneyIn this open letter, Mumbrella's Tim Burrowes reaches out to the many excellent staff working at the award-winning agencies DDB and Saatchi & Saatchi. So last week, you may have noticed we gave some coverage to your Press Lions-winning work on behalf of McDonald's and Panasonic. Congratulations again. Some of you even got a namecheck in the credits. I'm talking to you,
You want fries with that? Creative careers are still out there, for nowYoung people from poorer backgrounds looking to get into careers in creative industries could be amongst the most hard-hit by the government's new 'earn or learn' social security policies argues Ruth Bridgstock, senior lecturer at Queensland University of Technology in a cross-posting from The Conversation. The old jokes about creative arts and humanities graduates serving at the local fast food outlet are hard to put to rest – they speak to long-held concerns around the value of creative degrees, and to worries that students of creative arts programs aren't employable when they graduate.
25 things that have changed about journalism during my quarter century as a hackMumbrella's Tim Burrowes began his media career 25 years ago today. He reflects on the changes journalism has seen during that time. A quarter of a century ago, I was feeling pretty nervous. A shy 18-year-old, who tended to blush if somebody spoke to me, I'd somehow mumbled my way into my first job in newspapers.
Content pollution: Is your brand guilty?Content marketing only works for brands that aim to do more than pollute people's social media feeds, argues Bite Sydney's Karen Coleman. Content isn't anything new – it has always been the bedrock of a good communications in some form. And despite the current industry hype, content marketing isn't new either. Brands are waking up to the need to engage with their consumers via relevant, targeted content marketing but unfortunately, the digital media explosion has contaminated some brands' view of content.
Marianne Bess to leave Droga5
One of the founding partners of the Australian office of ad agency Droga5 is to depart. The agency has announced that Sydney MD Marianne Bess is to return to the US.
She said: "When we started the company, there was only three of us, no business and just big dreams.
"Five years on, we're close to 100 people and working on many of Australia's most respected brands. I wouldn't have missed a moment of it, but now it's time to focus more on my personal life."
CEO Sudeep Gohil said: "I speak for all the partners when I say I wish her only the very best for this next chapter in her life."
There are no immediate plans to replace Bess, who leaves this month.

At A Glance: Coffee table, occasional table, basket table. The Scamp Table has been called many things, but the descriptor that seems to stick best is "eye-catching." The Large Scamp Table's powder-coated steel base provides a look that's interesting without being overbearing, a rare feat in this distracted world ... squirrel! The Scamp Table also comes in a small version and a medium version.
What's To Like: The power of choice. With three base and top options (mix-n-match), you're sure to find a look that's perfect for a room of any motif. And three sizes! Oh, how we could use these in our house ...
What's Not to Like: Your child, with the awesome power of imagination, will turn this coffee table into an object of play - and that could prove dangerous for table and child both. Scamp plays best with adults.
The Bottom Line: If you are easily entranced by color, you probably know what's coming: the Scamp Table is super fun. Blu Dot loves to have a good time, and this coffee table is just one more piece of evidence in the mounting case against them. Guilty of provoking smiles.
Materials:honed marble, finished oak or smoke tempered glass toppowder-coated steel or copper plated steel base
Dimensions:41.3"W x 21"D x 12"H
