Yesterday, California became the latest state to pass an affiliate tax law.
With a single stroke of a pen, California's governor signed AB 28 1x and may have struck the biggest blow ever to the affiliate business model in the United States.
That's because California isn't just home to a large number of affiliates, it is also widely considered to be the center of the technology universe.

Theta Digital—All Digital, All the Way
Neil Sinclair gave me a tour of Theta's new multi-channel amp, which keeps the signal exclusively in the digital domain from the S/PDIF inputs to the PWM output stage, the latter said to operate at the super-high frequency of 1MHz. Designed by veteran amp engineer Dave Reich, what is in effect a powerDAC—that's what it says on the output-stage printed circuit boards—will find its way, I hope, into some two-channel products in due course.

William "Bill" Laimbeer, Jr. (born May 19, 1957) is an American retired National Basketball Association player who spent most of his career with the Detroit Pistons. He is the current head coach and general manager of the WNBA's New York Liberty.[1] Playing at center, the 6'11" Laimbeer was a four-time All-Star and integral part of the Pistons teams that won two championships. Initially raised in the Chicago, Illinois suburb of Clarendon Hills, Laimbeer attended Palos Verdes High School in Southern California and then the University of Notre Dame.
After his playing career, Laimbeer served as the head coach of the Detroit Shock in the WNBA from 2002 to 2009, and coached the team to three league championships. In 2012, Laimbeer became the general manager and head coach of the WNBA's New York Liberty.
Playing career[edit]
Laimbeer was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 1979. He played professionally in Italy for a year before returning to play for the Cavaliers in 1980. On February 16, 1982, he was traded to the Detroit Pistons, where he would remain for the rest of his career. During his playing career, Laimbeer was one of the most notorious players in the NBA. While highly popular among Piston fans, Laimbeer was despised by opposing players and fans for committing hard fouls himself, while seeming to bait officials into calling fouls on opponents by flopping to the ground after slight contact. In the public eye, Laimbeer's reputation for physical play tended to overshadow his skills. His former teammate Dennis Rodman noted this in his book Bad As I Wanna Be, saying, "He (Laimbeer) was more than a thug, but that's what he'll be remembered for." Laimbeer was one of the top outside-shooting centers of his era, draining over 200 three pointers for his career, and excelled at running the pick and pop with guards Isiah Thomas and Joe Dumars. Then-head coach Chuck Daly utilized Laimbeer's skills by having him fade to the perimeter rather than roll to the basket. Laimbeer was selected to the NBA All-Star Game on four occasions (1983, 1984, 1985 and 1987) and finished among the league leaders in rebounding and free throw percentage several times, winning the rebound title in the 1985-86 season. Laimbeer started on the Pistons' 1989 and 1990 NBA championship teams.
Bill Laimbeer and his Detroit teammates are the only players to have a playoff winning record against NBA legends Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and Michael Jordan.
Altogether, Laimbeer spent 14 seasons in the NBA, 12 of them with Detroit. Laimbeer became the 19th player in league history to amass more than 10,000 points and 10,000 rebounds. Laimbeer was most effective off the defensive glass: from 1982 to 1990 no player in the league totaled more defensive rebounds. His streak of 685 consecutive games played (which ended due to suspension) is the fifth longest in league history. Laimbeer retired early in the 1993-94 season at age 36, and his jersey number (40) was eventually retired by the Pistons. He remains the franchise's all-time leader in career rebounds.
Laimbeer's reputation as one of the Pistons' "Bad Boys" was such that in 1991 he even came to endorse a video game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System called Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball, a futuristic basketball game in which physical play is encouraged.
Post-NBA life[edit]
In 1994, Laimbeer and his father William Sr. co-founded Laimbeer Packaging Corp., a company located in Melvindale, Michigan, a Detroit suburb, producing corrugated cardboard boxes. The company struggled through the late 1990s and closed in early 2002.
His father was a ranking executive with the Owens-Illinois corporation, and Laimbeer used to say (only partly tongue-in-cheek) about himself that during his career he was the only NBA player who earned less money than his father.
After retiring from the game, Laimbeer maintained his ties to the Pistons as a broadcast commentator.
In the middle of the 2002 WNBA season, Laimbeer took over the head coaching position for the Detroit Shock. A year later, he led the franchise to its first WNBA championship and was named Coach of the Year that year. It marked the first time in WNBA history that a team other than Los Angeles or Houston won the title. On September 9, 2006 Laimbeer led the Shock to their second WNBA championship against the Sacramento Monarchs in five games. Two years later, on October 5, 2008, Laimbeer led the team to its third league championship in six years by defeating San Antonio.
Laimbeer has talked about the possibility of one day coaching in the NBA. The New York Knicks' former team president, former Piston teammate Isiah Thomas, once considered Laimbeer as a possibility.[2] The Pistons, presided by former teammate Joe Dumars, had considered the possibility of Laimbeer replacing departing coach Larry Brown, before ultimately hiring former Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Flip Saunders. Laimbeer is a former color commentator for the Pistons and was a studio analyst for ESPN in 2003.
Bill Laimbeer won the Shooting Stars competition at the 2007 NBA All-Star Weekend in Las Vegas along with Chauncey Billups of the Detroit Pistons and Swin Cash of the Detroit Shock. In February 2009 he won the competition with Arron Afflalo and Katie Smith.
On June 15, 2009, he resigned as head coach of the Detroit Shock, due to family reasons and the desire to become an NBA head coach.[3] Though he was unable to secure an NBA head coaching position, that same year Laimbeer was offered, and accepted, an assistant coach position with the Minnesota Timberwolves.[4]
In 2012, Laimbeer returned to the WNBA to become the head coach and general manager of the New York Liberty, replacing John Whisenant.[5] He quickly returned to his pugnacious ways, drawing a fine for saying Minnesota Lynx player Maya Moore "should get hurt" for playing late into a game in which the Lynx easily defeated the Liberty.[6]

Deputies: Father Shoots Son in the Head
Updated: Monday, December 31 2012, 05:48 PM EST A Christmas night shooting lands a father in police custody, and his son clinging to life. "It was chaos like something you'd see on TV," said Kenneth Shelton, a neighbor. Shelton said he was jolted out bed by the sound of police radios and cop cars. "They just told me they had a crime scene," said Shelton. Deputies say a family dispute was behind the commotion. "It was obvious there was some type of domestic disturbance here," Sheriff James "Buddy" Harwood said. Harwood told News 13's Mario Boone that John Wilson, Sr. pulled a gun and shot his 33-year-old son, John Jr., in the head. "I found out through a phone call he's in pretty bad shape," said Shelton. The sheriff confirmed there's a strong chance Junior won't survive. The SBI was brought in with the expectation this will turn into a murder investigation. "It's heartbreaking, you know. I just want to go sit down somewhere and cry. They're just like family," Shelton said. Shelton told Boone that Junior might've been high on dope and possibly trying to rob his father when the shooting happened. Court records show Junior has a long criminal record, and was just released from prison for habitual drunk driving. "The father done everything he could to help his son, you know," according to Shelton. By: Mario Boone, email@example.com Follow on Twitter: @marioboone

Clara and the Doctor arrive at Caliburn House, a haunted mansion sat alone on a desolate moor.

And what is chasing her? watch
A dark psychological crime drama starring Idris Elba as Luther, a detective struggling with his own terrible demons, who might well be just as dangerous as the depraved murderers he hunts. On a moral crusade, too often with only his convictions for company, John Luther is a brilliant but deeply troubled man, a philosophical cop possessed by the insoluble problem of evil and justice in a Godless world. Luther shines a light where others fear to tread, into the hearts and minds of psychopaths and killers, and the shadowy spaces of his own soul.
Devastated by the brutal murder of his wife, John Luther returns to policing in a different world. His old unit is gone and he's working in the newly created Serious and Serial unit. It's not long before they're dealing with their first case.

Living with diabetes, you are already hyper-aware of food, but the holidays seem to heighten that awareness. Faced with your aunt's delicious homemade cornbread and your grandma's famous sweet potato casserole, you may find yourself digging through your closet for your old carbohydrate-counting books and guessing at your insulin adjustments. Who wants to go through the holidays with the added stress of high blood sugars and associated mood swings, especially when your family is already driving you nuts? No, thanks.

ThunderCats is an American animated series based on a group of cat-like humanoid aliens. The show was created by Tobin "Ted" Wolf and animated by Japanese animation studio, Pacific Animation Corporation.[citation needed] The characters were originally featured in an animated TV series named ThunderCats, running from 1985 to 1989.
The original show was animated in Japan[1] while being produced, written and voice-acted in the United States. Many of the artists went on to be in Studio Ghibli, and worked on Hayao Miyazaki's first film, so "ThunderCats" does have a footprint in Japanese animation.[1] The series was originally distributed by Rankin-Bass Productions' then-parent company Telepictures Corporation, which would later merge with Lorimar Productions in 1986.[2] In 1989, Lorimar-Telepictures was purchased by and folded into Warner Bros., whose television syndication arm would eventually assume distribution of the show; Warner Bros. has had the rights to the series (and all Lorimar-Telepictures programming) from that point on.
Later adaptions[edit]
There were also several comic book series produced. A ThunderCats comic book series based on the animated series was originally published by Marvel Comics (currently owned by Disney through its Star Comics imprint in 1985, lasting for 3 years and 24 issues.[3] During this time, a new series was published by Marvel UK consisting of 129 issues and was also published for three years.[4] Beginning in 2002 ThunderCats titles were published by Wildstorm Productions, an imprint of DC Comics (Warner Bros.' corporate sibling), and included 5 non-canon mini-series and several one-shots.[5] A side-scrolling video game based on the series, ThunderCats: The Lost Eye of Thundera, was published in 1987.
Items of clothing featuring the ThunderCats logo and DVD boxsets of the original series enjoyed a resurgence in the mid-to-late 2000s as nostalgia for the former children's favorite grew. It was announced on June 7, 2007, that Aurelio Jaro is making a CGI-animated feature film of ThunderCats, based on a script written by Paul Sopocy. In October 2007, Variety magazine revealed that Jerry O'Flaherty, veteran video game art director, had signed on to direct. The film is being produced by Spring Creek Productions. It was originally set for a summer 2010 release,[6] but it has since been reported that the movie is on hold.[7] Concept art for the film has also been leaked online.[8]
A second television series was launched in 2011. Figurines are also back in toy shops.
In the movie "Juno" the eponymous character shouts, "Thundercats are go!" when she realizes she has gone into labor. This has since mistakenly been attributed to the Thundercats television series. In point of fact this was never said in any of the Thundercats episodes. The original quote came from the children's television show of the 1960s entitled "Thunderbirds," in which the exclamation, "Thunderbirds are go!" was uttered whenever departure for a rescue mission by the Tracy family had been authorized.

Can it be Winterfest already?
Published on Wed, Nov 5, 2008 by
Scooter Chapman

It's time to get out the ski boots, find the slats, see what kind of shape the old gloves are in, check the goggles for cracks and see if you still fit into that ski parka.
I know it's only the 5th of November, but it's getting close to ski time and that means Winterfest is here.
The World Series is over, the Huskies still haven't won a football game and they are looking for a new coach; Sequim is getting ready for its regular season football finale and the Hurricane Ridge Winter Sports Club is getting ready for Winterfest 2008 to celebrate 50 years of skiing on Hurricane Ridge.
Winterfest is a two-day blast at the Vern Burton Center in Port Angeles. It opens with dinner and a movie Friday, Nov. 21, at 5 p.m. It's a $40 ticket if you buy in advance at Swain's General Store, Port Book and News or Brown's Outdoor Inc. Ducats will be $45 at the door.
Dinner will be by Oven Spoonful, there will be the famous HRWSC oyster bar, a no-host adult beverage hour, music by the Port Angeles High School jazz band and great silent and live auction items.
That night also will be the premiere of the new Warren Miller film, "Children of Winter," sponsored by Dan Wilder Jeep and the HRWSC ski team. It's a fun night and you don't even have to get dressed up.
There will be other ways to support the Hurricane Ridge ski operation if you don't want to take part in the live or silent auctions. For the past two years, Chapman Sports Services has donated gasoline for operating the lifts one weekend and one year donated the plastic ties that hold the lift ticket on the jacket.
By the way, Winterfest is a fundraiser sponsored by the Hurricane Ridge Winter Sports Education Foundation and is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that supports the Winter Sports Club, ski team, ski school and ski patrol.
Big ski swap
Nov. 22 is the annual ski swap where you can sell your gear that no longer fits and buy items that are
terrific specials. It's $3 admission and $7 for the whole family to offset hall rental expense, which used to be donated.
Turn in items for sale between 8:30-11 a.m. Return at noon to shop for more stuff until 3:30 p.m. and come back at 4 p.m. to collect money or unsold gear. This event is sponsored by Kitsap Sports and the ski team. By the way, Kitsap Sports will have great specials on new ski equipment as well.
Then at 7 p.m. is the Warren Miller movie for the public. Tickets are $10, as the cost of getting that movie keeps going up.
So, as I wrote above, get all your ski gear together for swapping, mark it on the calendar and be ready for a fun two days.
Chain up
The winter schedule for Hurricane Ridge is out and there will be something new for drivers to be aware of beginning Nov. 21.
To improve public safety, Olympic National Park will require that all vehicles traveling to the ridge between
Nov. 21-May 1 carry chains when going above the
entrance station.
The new requirement is for all vehicles, including 4-wheel drive rigs, regardless of tire type, and will apply to all road and weather conditions. Additional requirements, such as traction tires or chains on vehicles may be enacted when conditions warrant.
Now, why carry chains. As new ONP superintendent Karen Gustin explained: "Having a set of chains in every vehicle that travels to Hurricane Ridge will provide a greater margin of safety when sudden storms arrive or road conditions worsen during the day."
The new edict may give the park greater flexibility in keeping the road open during times when conditions are on the marginal side.
Why the new rules? Because some yahoos head for the ski area in the winter with regular tires and when there is a change in the weather they become hazards going up and coming down the road.
Your scribe thinks it is a great idea. Now, will somebody be able to help me put on chains when the weather turns bad?

Campus Resources: Everything involving technology is beyond excellent at this University! Everything is up to date and exactly how you need it to be to be efficient. You can't be working on older technology so everything is at its newest point. The laptops that are given to you are also top of the line and are very expendable for anything you want to do with them.
Campus Resources: it is a private University and very small so I don't expect too much. I do wish that they had sports teams and other things that other Universities have, but I guess they have something I care about more. That would be the gaming portion of things!
Campus Resources: It is very open and free, it does not feel like a traditional University. It is in the center of downtown so everything Utah has to offer can be available to you very quickly. They are very friendly and accurate with everything that you learn. Not only that the students and the teachers and faculty are more than just colleagues, they are friends and beyond acquaintances.
Campus Resources: Neumont University is a computer-degree-only school: they have degrees for Computer Science, Web Development, Game Design, and other various computer-related degrees. I've been going to this school for two quarters now and the school is a computer heaven: internet is fast, printing is sound, networks are always up and working, and you're required to get a school- provided computer. The entire school is a computer lab.
Campus Resources: There is no school gym only the ones provided at the apartments we live in. The library only has technology related books so you'll have no luck trying to find Catcher in the Rye. Campus activities happen pretty often and include ice skating, camping, hot spring visits, downtown visits, BBQ's, movie nights, etc.

Morning. Won't say it's a good one but not too bad, considering.

Bet there was some good chili Mike.
Morning. I have a full day of teletraining scheduled. Oi, going to need some coffee for this one.
Take Charge. Train Harder. Suck Less. No Excuses.
Injuries Suck
Hey everyone. Yes the event was a success I think. Had to shake the legs out this am on my run. Hips were sore from running on all the uneven surfaces and cambered sidewalks that is our downtown. At least they loosened up.
Call me anti American but I honestly couldn't care less about the Superbowl.
Well we had it on the TV but that is about it. We have an annual Super Bowl party that most in attendance are not football followers. Super Bowl is actually the only game all season that I watch.
Now come February 24, 2013; THAT is when my sports watching starts. BOOGITY BOOGITY BOOGITY!!!!!!!
I am a gear head so if it goes fast and has 4 wheels then its all good.
Training hell. Yes, that's where I'm at. Ok, back to the grind.

Having a meeting with the bitch, the boss, and the mentor about the ISSUE was very uncomfortable. Ugh.
Worse part? I don't think the bitch gets it.

Weirdest thing too: She asked me whether we could do lunch today. Awkward.

I'd take her up on it. You never know what could come of it, yes? Embrace opportunity when and where presented. I often like to quote a good man who once said "Forgive them, for they know not what they do."
It's always nice to do and be good.

Secure File Transfer in Nautilus with SFTP
Previously I've showed you how to set up a home network with Ubuntu. Once your network is set up, it's easy to transfer files from one computer to another using Gnome's standard file manager, Nautilus.
Nautilus has a built-in feature to support SFTP. SFTP is a secure file transfer protocol. It's basically a combination of SSH (secure shell) and FTP (file transfer protocol). SFTP is a convenient way securely transfer files from one computer to another over the network.
For example, say you have some files on your laptop that you would like to transfer to your desktop computer. Sure, you could always copy the files to a flash drive and then copy them onto your desktop. However, it's much quicker to just transfer the files directly.
Say your desktop's IP address on your network is 192.168.2.2. Just open Nautilus on your laptop and enter
in the address bar. You may get a warning pop-up at this point. If so, click Log In Anyway. At this point you should get prompted for your userID and password. Enter them and you're in.
Now it's just as easy as cut and paste in Nautilus to transfer files on your network.

"you didn't write that"
I want to highlight the two best pieces I've read on the Obama "you didn't build that" - gate.
The first comes from Josh Barro over at Forbes.
The second comes from Carolina's own Kindred Winecoff.
Both are highly recommended.
People, what do you think about this issue?
Is it an out of context molehill made into a mountain, or a disturbing peek behind the curtain?
You know where to let me know.
Labels: are you a fox or a hedgehog?, good reads, politics

[Chorus: x2]
How many brothers fell victim to the streetz
Rest in peace young *****, there's a Heaven for a 'G'
Be a lie, If I told ya that I never thought of death
My *****s, we the last ones left
But life goes on
As I bail through the empty halls
Breath stinkin'
In my jaws
Ring, ring, ring
Quiet y'all
Incoming call
Plus this my homie from high school
He's getting bye
It's time to bury another brother nobody cry
Life as a baller
Alcohol and booty calls
We used to do them as adolescents
Do you recall?
Raised as G's
Loc'ed out and blazed the weed
Get on the roof
Let's get smoked out
And blaze with me
2 in tha morning
And we still high assed out
Screamin' 'thug till I die'
Before I passed out
But now that your gone
I'm in the zone
'I don't wanna die all alone'
But now ya gone
And all I got left are stinkin' memories
I love them *****s to death
I'm drinkin' Hennessy
While tryin' ta make it last
I drank a 5th for that ***
When you passed
Cause life goes on
Yeah *****
I got the word as hell
Ya blew trial and the judge gave you
25 with an L
Time to prepare to do fed time
Won't see parole
Imagine life as a convict
That's getten' old
Plus with the drama
We're looking out for your babies mama
Taken risks, while keepin' cheap tricks from getting on her
Life in the hood
Is all good for nobody
Remember gamin' on dumb hoties at chill parties
Me and you
No true a two
While scheming on hits
And getting tricks
That maybe we can slide into
But now you burried
Rest *****
Cause I ain't worried
Eyes bluried
Sayin' goodbye at the cemetary
Tho' memories fade
I got your name tated on my arm
So we both ball till' my dying days
Before I say goodbye
Kato and Mental rest in peace
Thug till I die
Bury me smilin'
With G's in my pocket
Have a party at my funeral
Let every rapper rock it
Let the hoes that I used to know
From way before
Kiss me from my head to my toe
Give me a paper and a pen
So I can write about my life of sin
A couple bottles of Gin
Incase I don't get in
Tell all my people I'm a Ridah
Nobody cries when we die
We outlaws
Let me ride
Until I get free
I live my life in the fast lane
Got police chasing me
To my *****s from old blocks
From old crews
*****s that guided me through
Back in the old school
Pour out some liquor
Have a toast for tha homies
See we both gotta die
But ya chose to go before me
And brothers miss ya while your gone
You left your ***** on his own
How long we mourn
Life goes on
[Chorus: x3]
Life goes on homie
Gone on, cause they passed away
*****s doin' life
*****s doin' fifty and sixty years and ****
I feel ya *****, trust me
I feel ya
You know what I mean
Last year
We poured out liquor for ya
This year *****, life goes on
We're gonna clock now
Get money
Evade *****es
Evade tricks
Give players plenty space
And basically just represent for you baby
Next time you see your *****s
Your gonna be on top *****
Their gonna be like,
'Goddamn, them *****s came up'
That's right baby
Life goes on
And we up out this *****
Hey Kato, Mental
Y'all *****s make sure it's popin' when we get up there
Don't front.

Success Stories |
Strengthening the National Health Authority
In order to confront these challenges, in the period 2007-2008, the MPH embarked on a process of Health Sector Transformation, which identified the strengthening of the Steering Role of the National Health Authority (NHA) as one of its main strategic areas. The transformation proposal called for improving the competencies and capacity of the Ministry of Public Health for health policy-making; strengthening sectoral management and regulation; defining and implementing a quality assurance system; enhancing public health surveillance; integrated management of national and international cooperation resources; promoting technological research and development in health; and implementing a National Information System. The proposal also emphasized the need for restructuring the MPH, including strengthening its organizational structure, developing human resources, and improving strategic management. In an effort to support the implementation of the Health Sector Transformation process, PAHO, with USAID assistance, has been providing technical cooperation to the Ministry of Public Health for the evaluation and strengthening of the steering role of the NHA, and the identification of the attributes necessary for integrating services and building comprehensive local health networks anchored on Basic Health Teams. As part of this effort, the tools and methodologies developed within the framework of the PAHO-USAID cooperation agreement have been crucial in helping the Ministry identify the gaps that need to be addressed. The National Constitutional Assembly of Ecuador welcomed the text of the Health Sector Transformation proposal that will be submitted for national consultation, establishing health as a right and defining the state's responsibility through the National Health Authority to formulate national health policy and steer, regulate and control all health-related efforts and actors. The consolidation of the NHA as the sector's steering entity, along with the reorganization of the MPH, constitutes a prerequisite for the successful implementation of the proposal. |
Building Integrated Delivery Networks in Ecuador The Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador, approved in September 2008, determines in Art. 360 that the National Health System shall be organized with a Primary Health Care (PHC) approach and that it shall function through integrated networks that offer universal and equitable health services, under the leadership of the national health authority. This entails a challenge for the Ministry of Public Health (MPH) of Ecuador. In order to build integrated health services networks based on PHC, the MPH must tackle the fragmentation and segmentation that characterize its health system. As a first step in that direction, and based on the Integrated Health Delivery Networks Initiative developed by PAHO with the support of USAID, an evaluation of the primary care network in five provinces of the northern border - Esmeraldas, Carchi, Ibarra, Coca y Sucumbíos - was conducted from February 9 - March 5, 2009. The Initiative defines 12 attributes of integrated networks for which specific components were identified, whose presence or absence shows the degree of integration/fragmentation of the network at a given time. As part of this operational research, a General Integration Index was developed. The index allows a fast, precise and objective overview of the key network components in need of strengthening and helps in the prioritization of interventions areas, the design of strategies, and evaluation. The methodology as a whole and the Integration Index in particular are powerful tools that can be used not only for comparative analyses but also as a platform of instruments and processes that can support health systems decision making at the time of designing and implementing necessary interventions for the strengthening of networks linked to a specific health model or strategy. |

The time between chromosome replication and segregation can be from hours to decades. Cohesion is thus crucial for identifying replication products as sister chromatids from S-phase until mitosis. Early models posited active sister chromatid tethering reactions in which cohesins deposited onto each sister chromatid are converted to a paired state by replication-fork-associated establishment factors. Subsequent, but now largely marginalized, models suggested instead that establishment occurs passively – requiring only cohesin preloading and passage of the replication fork through huge cohesin rings. More recent models return to active establishment reactions but remain predicated on preloaded ring structures. Here, new models are presented in which replication-coupled cohesin deposition is followed by conversion to a pairing-competent C-clamp structure that does not require DNA entrapment.

Passage of the bipartisan DISCLOSE Act is truly a victory for the American people, who have a right to know which organizations are spending millions to influence their vote and who is funding that effort. I applaud my colleagues for supporting this bill, which addresses the very serious threats to our democracy created by the Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United, and I and look forward to the Senate taking up the legislation in short order.
Senate Democrats introduced a similar bill [text, PDF; JURIST report] in April after the Senate Judiciary Committee [official website] held hearings [JURIST report] in March on the effects of the Citizens United decision. In Citizens United, the court struck down Section 203 of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act [text, PDF], which prohibited corporations and unions from using their general treasury funds to make independent expenditures for speech defined as an "electioneering communication" or for speech expressly advocating the election or defeat of a candidate. President Barack Obama sharply criticized [JURIST report] the decision in his State of the Union Address [transcript] in January. Obama warned of the increased potential for powerful interest groups, both foreign and domestic, to wield excessive influence over American elections and called for bipartisan support of legislation to counteract the decision. The decision has caused a deep partisan divide [CNN report] over the topic, with Democratic officials largely opposing the decision, and Republican officials mostly in support.

Monogenic Diabetes, sometimes called Maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY), refers to one of several forms of hereditary diabetes.
This group is specifically oriented towards those interested in Monogenic Diabetes.
Members: 41
Latest Activity: Dec 3, 2013
Monogenic Diabetes is a condition caused by a single genetic factor (hence "monogenic") as opposed to type 1 and type 2 which involve a number of genetic factors. There are a number different kinds of monogenci diabetes, with new kinds being added continuously. Key attributes of monogenic diabetes are that you have them from birth, but they may not be noticed or diagnosed till much later in life. In most cases, they don't respond typically to Type 2 oral medications, although some forms do respond well to certain medications or insulin. Unfortunately, the proper diagnosis of monogenic diabetes is difficult. Some cases are diagnoses immediately in babies or young children, but many only become evident later in life and most doctors are not aware of the condition and how to diagnose and treat. Testing for the condition involves genetic testing, which in the U.S. has been very expensive. Even when you get a proper diagnosis, proper treatment guidelines are not well established.

Hello! I am trying to make sense of my condition and have been learning a lot as I do so. I was hoping someone could tell me if I am off chasing a red herring or if my analysis makes any sense.Here…Continue
He had ketones. Was not DKA. 8 months prior he showed high levels of glucose in his urine. His fasting blood work showed elevated glucose, but the A1c was normal. Doctor said it must have been from the high sugar breakfast he had at a friends house and he sent us home.
So when I started seeing signs and symtoms I had his A1C checked at a local grocery store and it was 11.3. I must have caught him before DKA.
I dont know what my fasting is. I can start checking it.
Was my son tested for antibodies? I dont know. The endo told us that he was type 1. She never went over any test results. I have just contacted the hospital where he had his two day stay after diagnosis and have them sending all records.
Kait, was he in DKA when diagnosed, or at least showing significant ketones? Has he been tested for antibodies? If so, both of those point to classic T1, not MODY. It's entirely possible to have a strong family history of T2, and still have T1 pop up unexpectedly in a child. And if you, yourself, don't have diabetes, then MODY is unlikely, because it's strongly autosomal dominant, which means it's highly unlikely to skip a generation. Which is why the doc said that for it to be MODY, one of the child's parents would have to have it.
As far as yourself, I would expect that your doctor has been testing your fasting blood sugar every so often, and if he hasn't, you can ask for it. You can also ask for an A1c for yourself -- it's not such an expensive test, whereas genetic testing for MODY is, and not generally covered by insurance. The other thing is, if you have a strong family pattern of Type 2, you, yourself are at risk of developing it, and your doc should be keeping an eye on you. I sure hope you don't get it, but better safe than sorry! Good luck!
Trying to grab all the information I can on MODY and understand it. My 15 year old son was recently diagnosed Type 1. My father was diagnosed adult onset in his 70's. His mother was diagnosed adult onset in her later years. My fathers father was diagnosed at age 40 and was assumed type 2 because of his age. And my fathers grandfather was diabetic and died early.
Can I have MODY and not know it? Best way to test before doing the genetic testing? Best way for my son to test?
I saw some posts here about fasting blood glucose and I saw some posts about taking blood glucose after meals (how much after).
I have always felt that I have been very carb sensitive and do best on little carbs.
How can I help to determine my sons diagnosis without genetic treatment yet? When I asked the endo last week she looked at me like I was crazy and said that one of my sons parents would have to be diabetic. Is that true?
Please give me any feedback that you can. Thank you!
The group has been pretty quiet recently...
How is everyone doing?
Does the change in seasons have any impact on your control?
More activity, warmer conditions, etc?
I've found that my fasting numbers are slightly higher.
Not sure if it is related to the weather, or just that my sleep has been more interrupted than normal.
Speaking for myself, I've never experienced reactive hypoglycemia.
My understanding of MODY (at least MODY-1 and MODY-3) is that it is an insulin secretion deficiency and that individuals are very insulin sensitive.
My impression of reactive hypoglycemia is that it is caused by insulin resistance coupled with an over-production of insulin.
I would have expected a low or low-normal c-peptide with those forms of MODY.
(I've asked for c-peptide testing, but results hadn't been provided to me... I'll be pushing again in my March appt.)
If I let my blood sugars go high, they take a *long* time to return to a good baseline number (anaerobic exercise and/or ALA in combination with EPO do reduce that time).
For instance a heavy carb meal (100+g) would still impact my fasting the next day (I don't want to think about what I'd done to myself in the years before diagnosis.) I find that 20-25g in a two hour window allows me to stay in a stable range of 70-110 mg/dl.
It will be interesting to hear what others have to say.
Yes, it is reactive hypoglycemia, in combination with high bg. If I don't watch carbs, bg easily goes up to 250+ at times. I am trying to eat 40 g carb at breakfast, lunch, dinner, and 15 g each at 3 snacks, along with protein. Up til a couple weeks ago I was eating about half that many carbs in an effort to keep down the highs. The lows have not been quite as bad now that I've upped the carbs. I had my c-peptides tested a couple weeks ago -- they were high.
My mom ignored the diabetes. She had cancer when it was diagnosed and died within a couple years from the cancer, 23 years ago. I don't know what my grandmother did beyond diet. She died 40 years ago.
I'd be curious about the pattern where you mention dropping into the 60's without frequent snacks....
That almost sounds like reactive hypoglycemia to me.
Does that still happen when eating low carb?
Where are you setting your carb limits (g/meal)?
Have you had insulin or c-peptide levels measured?
Do you know how your mother and grandmother are controlling their diabetes?
Hello folks. I have joined this group to learn more. I don't have a MODY diagnosis but I know I have an atypical kind of diabetes. A little over a year ago at a routine physical, I had a high BG reading. A1C was 5.5 then and remains at 5.5. After eating, BG goes up to around 225. Usually is 80 or below when fasting. It frequently drops down into the 70s or 60s unless I eat frequent hefty snacks. I was not overweight to start with but have lost 32 pounds over the last year, with no improvement in the highs. If anything highs have gotten worse, and the lows have definitely gotten worse.
I was on metformin for awhile but it seemed to make the lows worse so now I am not on any meds or insulin. I was eating very low carb to try to keep BG under 120 at 2 hours PP. To stop losing weight and stave off the lows, at doctor's and dietician's recommendation, I started eating somewhat more carbs so I no longer feel like I am starving.
Oh, and my mother and grandmother also had diabetes, diagnosed when they were in their 60s and my younger brother has prediabetes.
From what you know about MODY, does it sound possible that I might have it? Do you have any suggestions?
A huge problem with the stats on prevalence of MODY is that it is largely misdiagnosed--probably the vast majority of people with MODY are not diagnosed correctly. Testing is available, but it is very expensive and rarely performed. I think the "1-2% if people with diabetes have MODY" is quite an undercount.
Hi Natalie - I'm crazy busy right now - lot's to do before going out of town on Sat.
But hilarious thing just happened.
I registered on the Kovler site to be part of the registry - oh, I think maybe 6 months ago. . . and tonight, I got send a survey saying they had accepted me for the registry.
In the meantime, I made an "inside connection
and my entire family is now being tested. Sputum samples for me, my 2 kids, my 1st cousin and 6 of his children/grandkids are already being tested at Kovler.
But, I filled out the form at Kovler and I'm curious as to what I'll hear next and whether they'll figure out they already have a sample from me. Argghhh.....

Florida's Best Beaches
Florida Green Community-The Sky Institute
From Florida soil grow the roots of what may be the next generation of sustainable communities.
In the heart of the Panhandle, surrounded by a field of tall grass, two lone figures ponder the future―theirs and ours. Here, miles from the nearest town, highway, or beach, Julia Starr Sanford and Bruce White kindly appease a couple of visitors who want to take their photograph in the middle of this green and brown expanse.
As a gentle morning breeze bends the grass and as cotton-puff clouds wallow in the blue above, Bruce points out an area of tamped-down grass where a deer had perhaps enjoyed the same scenery earlier. Julia walks over, looks down and then up to where the land and sky intersect at the edge of this open space. "When we first brought people here to discuss the development," she says, "they thought we would fill in these fields with buildings. But much of this is what we'll preserve. Some of it will be converted back to farmland; other parts will be left just as you see it now―wild and open."
A Big Leap
This is the land Bruce and Julia call Sky, a planned community to be built in Calhoun County about an hour southwest of Tallahassee.
Sky may signal the latest evolution in traditional neighborhood developments. Scheduled for groundbreaking this spring, it's
a largely untested concept that has become a defining project for these two Floridians, who, as the principals behind White
Starr, Inc., have invested considerable time, energy, and money into its development. Talking to them, however, one gets the
impression they felt they had no choice―that the creation of such a community was their calling.
To help ensure Sky is a success, Julia and Bruce assembled a team of architects, builders, and thinkers. They've heeded valuable lessons from old-world farming villages and New Urbanism communities and paired those concepts with the latest sustainable energy technologies and Green-living practices. In short, plans call for residents to take part in growing their own food, to live in neighborhoods made up entirely of homes that are certified by Leadership Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), and―perhaps in the community's most striking break from current high-end developments―to create their own energy. Sky will be "the first off-the-grid luxury town built in this country," says Bruce.
"Sky is a big leap forward," says Andrés Duany, whose Miami firm Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company (DPZ) is partnering with Julia and Bruce on the design of the community. Andrés is an advocate of New Urbanism and a key planner for communities such as Seaside, Rosemary Beach, and Alys Beach. "The other places we've developed are implicitly environmental―using native vegetation and encouraging walking rather than driving, among other elements," he says. "Sky will be intrinsically environmental. It's more self-sustaining because of the farming component and the energy technologies they hope to employ."
Culture and Acreage
At its core, Sky will be something of a high-end farm and garden community. It will have amenities such as horseback riding
and tennis facilities, but 154 of its 571 acres will be designated as agricultural. Think Rosemary Beach or Alys Beach with
life centered around farms and gardens instead of sand and surf.
Julia, a designer who has worked on projects ranging from planned communities to feature films, splits her time between Amelia Island and Rosemary Beach. Bruce, a developer and systems analyst, lives in Rosemary Beach. Both emphasize the need to preserve farm culture as well as acreage. "Sky is a model for rural development," says Julia. "It prescribes a way of life that allows the last land frontier of the state―the farmlands and cattle ranches―to be preserved."
While the Sky team plans to tend the larger tracts of land with the help of local farmers and students from area schools and colleges, part of Sky's mission will be to help residents learn how to organically garden through the Sky Institute, an all-in-one teaching, research, and conference center that will be located in the community.
Land of Sky: Sustainable Living Community
From Florida soil grow the roots of what may be the next generation of sustainable communities like Sky.

Wii active video games don't count as exercise
A new study shows that kids who play Wii Sports or Dance Dance Revolution are as active as those who play Disney Sing-It Pop Hits or Super Mario Galaxy.
It seemed like the perfect setup--give kids video games that would motivate them to get off the couch and start moving. Not only would they have fun, they would also get healthier.
However, these high hopes may have been wishful thinking. According to a new study by Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, kids given "active" video games showed no more overall physical exertion than kids who used only their thumbs to play.
"There was no evidence that children receiving the active video games were more active in general, or at anytime, than children receiving the inactive video games," reads the study. "These results provide no reason to believe that simply acquiring an active video game under naturalistic circumstances provides a public health benefit to children."
For the study, researchers gave 78 children, who were above-average weight and between the ages of 9 to 12, a Nintendo Wii console. Half of the kids got "active" video games like Wii Sports and Dance Dance Revolution-Hottest Party 3, and the other half got "inactive" games, such as Disney Sing-It Pop Hits or Super Mario Galaxy. Over the course of the 13-week study, researchers kept logs of their play times and activity levels.
Related stories
Researchers tallied the children's average time of moderate or vigorous activity and came up with between 25 to 28 minutes a day for the kids who played active games and between 26 and 29 minutes a day for the kids with inactive games.
Earlier studies, such as one by the University of Massachusetts in Boston that came out last year, showed that interactive games could improve moderate or even vigorous activity while playing.
Baranowski told Reuters he isn't sure why the results came out nearly the same for both groups; one suggestion is that possibly the children in the active group played with minimal effort, another is that they exercised less than they otherwise would throughout the day.

Welcome To Screamscape!
If you're a theme park lover or enjoy the best thrill rides the world has to offer, you've found the right place.
From new ride announcements, construction reports and the latest rumors: Screamscape always has something new to report.
News & Rumors
Park News - (10/8/13) Curious about what takes place at Morey's Piers over the off-season? Click here to read on, as the hard work is just starting. (1/23/13) Screamscape sources tell us that Morey's is planning on removing the Apache Helicopter kiddie ride as well as a the Skyride that ran near the Great White coaster. (10/31/12) For anyone wondering, so far the reports I've read seem to indicate that Morey's Piers survived Hurricane Sandy fairly well, especially considering how hard it hit Casino Pier to the North. (10/18/11) According to the local news, The Morey's Organization (Will Morey) is set to build a new six story hotel that will be combined with the Starlux hotel nearby, merging to form the Grand Wildwoodian. Construction on the 140 room hotel will begin next year and likely open in 2013.
2014 - New Wave Swinger - (2/21/14) I'm told that Morey's will replace their wave swing with a brand new model from Zierer that will be raised up an additional 13 feet for added thrill. The panels on the ride will also feature all new custom artwork depicting the look of the Wildwoods from over the years.
2016?? - New Wooden Coaster - Planning - (2/21/14) While I'm sure many are wondering just when Morey's is going to begin construction on this anticipated roller coaster project, the answer is not going to be what you are wanting to hear. According to Screamscape sources, the new wooden coaster is STILL only in the planning stage, and due to the huge investment involved Morey's has not yet finalized any actual dates to begin work, or as to when they will be ready to open it. At this point I'm told that it will be at least 2016, at the earliest, before they are ready to open this project. (1/14/13) The Morey's talked a bit about the long in development wooden coaster planned to span the piers, which they expect to make a final decision on sometime over the Summer. Once construction starts, the huge project is expected to take about 18 months to complete, so we looking at a Mid-2015 opening at the earliest if they start work by the end of the year on the GCI ride. While the official name has not been selected, the Morey brothers did offer their own suggestions for possible names: The Boardwalk Flyer or The Wildwoody. (7/2/12) Visitors to Morey's Piers may have noticed that the they have yet to begin construction on the long-planned pier-spanning wooden coaster project. A reader who visited Morey's over the weekend quizzed some park managers they spotted about the project, as it was hoped that they would have begun construction by now. According to the staff, Morey's owners have yet to pull the trigger on the project just yet, and have not yet set a definite timetable to begin construction on the coaster. The last timeline being proposed would not see the coaster project begin the first phases of construction until at least late 2012 and wouldn't open until 2014 at the earliest. (1/12/11) Construction is planned to start in September 2011. CosterFusion has published an interview with Jack Morey of Morey's Piers this week. In addition to talking about what goes on during the park's winter slumber (lots of rehab work), they hint about a possible upcoming Halloween event on the way as well as go into some new detail about the upcoming new wooden coaster. The coaster will start on the Surfside Pier and jump over and back from Morey's maintenance pier over a bridge structure. While construction on the new coaster will actually begin this September, the ride wont open until 2013. (10/11/10) According to this article that details the end of the line for the Wipeout Giant Slide at Morey's Piers, the new pier-spanning wooden coaster project wont likely open until 2013. (6/30/10) A Screamscape reader has sent in new artwork showing off the new proposed pier-spanning wooden coaster for Morey's Piers. (6/17/10) According to the local news, the mega coaster project that will span two of Morey's Piers has gotten all but the final approval needed to move forward. From the sound of the article and the amount of work needed to be done, it probably wont be ready until 2012, but we can hope for 2011. (3/13/09) Included in the 40th Anniversary Press Release was an update about the proposed new coaster project. "Plans are on the drawing boards for one of the most unique coasters ever built, taking riders over the beach between two piers. The ride, based in part on feedback from coaster enthusiasts, is being seriously considered for construction during the 2011-2013 timeframe." (3/1/09) We've heard that the proposed Wooden Coaster that would span two boardwalks still hasn't set on a final design yet and that they're in no hurry to do so right now. Currently, the way things stand, the project may not see the light of day until the 2011 or 2012 seasons. (2/5/08) Thanks to the guys at NorthEastCoasters, they sent us a copy of the photo they posted of the current rough GCI plans for the 2010 wooden coaster project at Morey's Piers. As you can see the left side of the plans shows off where the station, lift hill, first drop and final brake run will be placed, but the rest of the ride (other than the long dark tunnel) will take place at the right side location where I've zoomed in a bit to show off the two different views of the action portion of the ride's layout. (2/4/08) You'll have to scroll down a bit in this report from Eastcoaster 2008 posted to North East Coasters, but you can see a basic layout of the current proposal from GCI for the new 2010 wooden coaster planning for Morey's that would span two piers. (8/2/07) A reader at the event did recall that Jack Morey mentioned something about dealing with two jurisdictions to build the coaster which actually would likely place it between Surfside Pier and the former Hunts / Dinosaur Beach pier, which are actually the only two piers close enough together to be a viable choice. Depending on where the station is located, perhaps this is a sign that Morey's may be considering reopening the old Hunts / Dinosaur Beach pier along with previous plans to reopen the Golden Nugget.
