Have a GREAT "ME" DAY :)
Hey, why don't you come join us in the TuD chat room?
You'll see us at the bottom of the home page.
We have a great time getting to know each other, sharing info and lots of laughs :)
It's on right now!
I was just reading something yesterday and they suggested not to use the word "testing" as in "testing your blodd sugar" They suggested using another word, like "checking your blood sugar". just because "testing" implies you're getting "graded" and perhaps we don't want to feel like we "failed" if the number isn't "good". (I also believe we should curb our tendencies to think of bg numbers as "good" or "bad") - anyway, it's just using a little psychology on ourselves. thanks for posting with us, you don't even know how many others out there you are helping.
Hi Felidia- Thanks for the friend add. I am honored to be your friend.
Felidia, congratulations on being featured on TuDiabetes. I think your excellent post hit a real nerve with many of us. Diabetes means we have to keep trying and each time we don't succeed can make it seem like failure. Don't let the darn disease get you down. And do please keep writing.
Congrats on being a featured member. That means you are one of our best. Keep on plugging.
Hey Felidia, congrats on being our latest featured member!!

- Two successive general assemblies must vote to put the proposed amendment on a statewide ballot, by majority votes.
- Amendments can be proposed in either chamber.
- Once an amendment is on the ballot, in order to become part of the constitution, it must be approved by "a majority of the electors qualified to vote for members of the general assembly, voting thereon."
- Constitutional conventions, under these conditions:
- Starting in 1970, a question as to whether to hold a constitutional convention is to automatically appear on the ballot every ten years.
- The Iowa General Assembly can also vote to put a constitutional convention question on a statewide ballot at other times.

Geometric screensaver
MBSS Starfields is a stunning program featuring beautiful swirls of colors at your command. However, that command may require a mathematics degree to master. Regardless, it quickly pretties up a display.
The program's interface is regrettably complicated, but does not really need to be dealt with too deeply. The actual screensaver has default settings that should be good enough for most users. Digging deeper to make adjustments, though, is a confusing tangle of geometric and mathematical terminology that will have a limited appeal. The Help file actually does a better job of explaining the scientific principals this program works … Read more

[JURIST] The European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled [judgment text; press release, PDF] Tuesday that a drug company refusing to meet "ordinary" orders for medicine as a means of thwarting parallel exports abuses its market position. The decision comes in connection with a lawsuit filed by Greek drug wholesalers against pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) [corporate website], stemming from a three-month period in 2000 when GSK refused to provide the entire orders of Greek drug wholesalers for three patented products. In an apparent attempt to prevent the wholesalers from exporting the drugs and selling them at a lower price to European countries where the products command a higher price, GSK sold directly to hospitals and pharmacies in Greece and filled wholesalers' orders to the extent only that the Greek market required. EC Treaty Article 82 [text] prohibits, "in so far as it may affect trade between Member States," any abuse by an undertaking of its dominant position is prohibited as incompatible with the common market. The ECJ held that
Article 82 EC must be interpreted as meaning that an undertaking occupying a dominant position on the relevant market for medicinal products which, in order to put a stop to parallel exports carried out by certain wholesalers from one Member State to other Member States, refuses to meet ordinary orders from those wholesalers, is abusing its dominant position.
[JURIST] UN Under-Secretary-General for Legal Affairs Patricia OBrien [appointment release] has found that prison overcrowding in countries with UN peacekeeping missions threatens the success of those missions, the UN Press Centre reported [text] Monday. O'Brien made the remarks at a UN Department of Peacekeeping (DPKO) [official website] meeting, and blamed the frequent overcrowding on ineffective judicial systems and long pre-trial detentions. At the same meeting, Assistant-Secretary-General of Rule of Law and Institutions Dmitry Titov [appointment release] said that the shortcomings reduce confidence in the rule of law and inhibit peace efforts. In July, the DPKO applauded [UN News Centre report] the introduction of 200 new prison guards by Haiti [JURIST news archives], which faces severe overcrowding problems.Prison overcrowding is a problem faced by a number of countries around the world. In June, the government of Bangladesh [JURIST news archive] announced plans to release certain inmates [press briefing; JURIST report] who have served half their prison sentences in order to reduce the country's overcrowded prison populations. Earlier that month, the Third Appellate District of the California Court of Appeal [official website] ruled [opinion, PDF; JURIST report] that a plan to ease prison overcrowding by transferring prisoners to out-of-state facilities did not violate the state's constitution [text]. The UK has also instituted a plan to release inmates ahead of schedule, and Iraq has experienced increasing overcrowding problems [JURIST reports].
[JURIST] The UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) [official website] has admitted the unlawful abuse of nine Iraqi detainees, solicitors for the detainees announced [press release] Tuesday. As part of the settlement, the detainees are to receive damages [Independent report] of as much as £1 million (US $1.79 million). While acknowledging that the detainees' treatment was unlawful, the MOD did not admit to specific conduct. It also denied that the UK Human Rights Act or the European Convention on Human Rights [text] applied to "Camp Breadbasket," the humanitarian aid distribution center near Basra where the abuse occurred. The Iraqis filed suit in the UK High Court of Justice, alleging that members of the 1st Royal Regiment of Fusiliers [military website] had committed the abuse in 2003 after making the arrests as part of an anti-looting operation. Sapna Malik, who represents the Iraqis, said:
It is good that the MOD has admitted that the treatment received by each of the Claimants was unlawful, although its refusal to accept that Camp Breadbasket falls within the ambit of the Human Rights Act is frustrating. The maltreatment of the men was hideous, humiliating and degrading and the legacy lingers with them to this day. We hope that todays admission marks the MoDs willingness to resolve the claims fairly so that the men can try to finally move forward with their lives.
[JURIST] Members of the US Congress spoke out about regulatory changes and investigations following a stock market drop propelled by Lehman Brothers' Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing and the sale of Merrill Lynch [AP report] on Monday. Speaker of the House Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) reiterated [press release] plans for a new economic stimulus package designed to "create jobs and address some of the most immediate consequences of the Administrations serious mismanagement of our economy." Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee Chairman Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT) [official website] said [statement text] Monday that the Banking Committee will continue to probe regulatory oversight and seek legislative solutions "strengthening the housing sector, developing a second stimulus package, and restructuring the regulation of the financial sector. Ranking Republican member Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) [official website] added [RTTNews report] that the Banking Committee will conduct a "thorough review" of the events leading to the latest crisis. The Banking Committee [official website] postponed a hearing scheduled for Tuesday with Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson, Jr. [official profile]. Speaking at a White House press briefing [transcript] on Monday, Paulson asserted that institutional cooperation will provide short-term solutions as regulatory changes are made:
[I]n the intermediate and longer term, clearly [...] we're going to need major regulatory changes, and I've spoken a lot about that. And we could use additional authorities to deal with non-bank financial institutions. But again, that's going to take longer for Congress to do. And right now we're working with the tools we have, and what you're finding is that the Fed, the SEC, Treasury, the FDIC -- we're all working together and we're going to do what's necessary to protect this system with the tools we have.
[JURIST] The 2007 Crime in the US (CIUS) report [materials; report summary] released Monday by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) [official website] indicates that the level of violent crime in the US dropped by 0.7 percent between 2006 and 2007. The drop follows two years of increasing rates of similar crimes, including a 2006 increase of 1.3 percent and a 2005 increase of 2.3 percent [JURIST reports]. Specifically, between 2006 and 2007, the estimated number of forcible rapes dropped by 2.5 percent, murders and nonnegligent manslaughters by 0.6 percent, aggravated assaults by 0.6 percent, and robberies by 0.5 percent. Additionally, the rate of property crime, which has decreased each year over the past five years, decreased again by about 1.4 percent. The only regional increase [state and regional overview] in overall violent crimes occurred in the South, which showed an increase in volume by 1.6 percent. AP has more.After the release early this year of the FBI's 2007 Preliminary Semiannual Uniform Crime Report [text; JURIST report], US Attorney General Michael Mukasey announced [text; JURIST report] that the Bush administration would request an additional $200 million dollars in federal funding to help state and local authorities combat violent crime. Although the $200 million is a significant increase over the $75 million earmarked for the program in 2007 [DOJ press release], many mayors expressed concern that the money would only be enough to bolster existing programs and would likely not cover the cost of hiring any new police officers in the small cities and rural areas that the report indicated experienced a rise in violent offenses.
[JURIST] Attorneys for former US Army researcher Dr. Steven Hatfill [Washington Post profile] have filed a motion [PDF text] seeking to dismiss an appeal by former USA Today reporter Toni Locy [academic profile; JURIST news archive] challenging her contempt order for refusing to disclose sources for articles about the 2001 anthrax attacks [GWU backgrounder]. The motion, filed Thursday in the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit [official website; JURIST news archive], argues that the appeal is moot because Locy "has not suffered and will not suffer any sanction under the order of contempt." District Court Judge Reggie Walton [official profile] indicated in July that he would vacate the contempt order because Hatfill had settled the lawsuit [JURIST report] in which he sought Locy's testimony. If Locy's appeal is dismissed, the case would be remanded to the district court, where Hatfill would seek attorneys' fees from Locy. Hatfill's attorneys, from the Washington firm of Harris, Wiltshire & Grannis LLP [firm website], wrote:
In this case, it would be the tail wagging the dog if this Court were to issue a decision addressing whether the district court properly held Locy in contempt to reach an ancillary dispute concerning fees that has not been reduced to an order (and which is therefore not yet appealable).
[JURIST] Senegalese publisher El Malick Seck is appealing a court ruling which sentenced him to three years in prison and closed his newspaper for three months as punishment for printing an article accusing Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade [BBC profile] and his son of money laundering, according to a defense lawyer. Seck, publisher of 24 Hours Chrono, was convicted Friday of insulting the head of state, disseminating false reports, committing acts likely to disturb the public order and concealing administrative documents. Tom Rhodes, Africa program coordinator for the Committee to Protect Journalists [advocacy website], said in a press release [text]:
Despite repeated claims by President Abdoulaye Wade to end the use of criminal libel laws, El Malick Seck faces a severe prison sentence. Troubling as well is the censorship that has been imposed on 24 Heures Chrono. Senegal's press freedom credentials are deteriorating. CPJ urges the president to adhere to his pronouncements and ensure cases such as 24 Heures Chrono are a thing of the past.
[JURIST] Officials from the monitoring committee of the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly (PACE) [official website] released a draft resolution [text; press release] Monday praising Serbia for the reforms it has made since joining the Council of Europe (COE) in 2003 but stressing that the country still has work to do. The committee particularly praised the Serbian government's continued efforts towards European integration, indicated most recently by the September 9 ratification of the Stabilisation and Association Agreement (SAA) [text, PDF; JURIST report] between the EU and Serbia. The country has also shown increased cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) [official website], but the committee officials cautioned that the Serbian government must use peaceful methods in its dealings with Kosovo, strengthen its democratic government, and institute more aggressive legal and judicial reforms. In the resolution, the committee members recommended that the COE:
[W]orks with the Serbian authorities to develop, where appropriate, new targeted co-operation programmes in the fields of strengthening of democratic institutions, local and regional democracy, reform of the judiciary and of the Public Prosecutors Office, the fight against corruption, human rights, mass media, and education, making full use in particular of new funding opportunities, including within the framework of the European Unions Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance (IPA).

I use to have the chi turbo which i loved while it lasted because then something went wrong with the cord!!! I have very long curly hair and love the way this iron leaves my hair feeling so thin. Geats up really quick.posted Nov 5, 2010Link to this post
Judy O.CTHairBlondeDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairMakes Great Spiral Curls, Heats Up In A FlashI bought this becasue of all the great reviews and i really like this iron. although I need a lot of practice, it does make great spiral curls and i have gotten a lot of compliments on my hair. It heats up quickly and easy to use. it also straightens nicely as well. I am very happy with this product. My only criticism is that pieces of loose hair get stuck in between where the plates and plastic come together at either end of the plates. other than that, its a nice iron.posted Oct 28, 2010Link to this post
BonnieAwesome Deal!I recently purchased this straightener and if you didn't notice it also comes with the Nano Titanium 1 1/4" straightener. You get 2 straighteners for the price of 1! I love both of them and use them for different styles. The U styler is GREAT at curling your hair. The outside plates work wonders on creating great sprial curls within minutes. I used to have a CHI and it did not work near as well as this one on curling my hair. The 1 1/4" straightener is great for straight styles but not for curls, but since you get both it is worth it!posted Dec 8, 2009Link to this post

For most consumers there has to be a decision on whether to build your retirement savings or to build a college fund for your children. This is a very tough decision and one that can be emotionally charged. The best way to answer which should be a priority is to take the emotion out of the question and look at it as a pure financial dilemma.

One of the most important building blocks for a sound financial future is to be prepared for the unexpected…and having an emergency fund is the key to being prepared financially. Many times emergency funds are derailed because we don't have enough saved or we use them for non-emergency items.

Hey guys,
I just bought the RFID shield, and then when I tried to my tag, I accidentally wrote adafruit.com to it. I thought, no big deal, I'll just reformat it. However, now it only redirects to adafruit.com even if I change the code. Any ideas?

There are several ways to preserve those beautiful autumn leaves in your yard; here are directions for three popular ones. You'll need up to a week to use these different preserving methods. Adult supervision recommended. Pin ItGlycerinOne method is to put them into a glycerin/water solution. This will preserve your leaves yet leave them relatively flexible. This preserving method works because the natural moisture present in the leaves is replaced by the glycerin solution, maintaining the leaf's texture and form.Materials:
Wax Paper PressingOne of the most common ways to preserve leaves is by pressing them between wax paper.Materials:
MicrowaveThanks to everyday technology, there is another way to preserve autumn leaves. This method requires using a microwave.Materials:
Compare the texture and color of the leaves after using the different preserving methods. Did one method work well for a particular tree species, but another method work better for a different tree species? What do you conclude about what happens to the leaves during the different preserving processes? If you'd like, use a tree identification guide for help identify the leaves of different species.

Though it's still a bit early to tell how much advisors and clients will like and use the app, the good news for Invesco is that advisor tech expert Bill Winterberg of FPPad.com gives this app a passing grade.
"I think it's in the top tier of apps for asset managers," Winterberg said in a phone interview. "It shows they invested the time in getting the user interface right."
Available on the iTunes App Store, the new app will provide "on-the-go access" to investing resources, according to Invesco.
According to a statement from Invesco, the key app features include the following:
- Product finder to identify appropriate strategies across a comprehensive range of asset classes.
- Personalized views of product data through interactive charts and graphs.
- Customized briefcase for products and commentaries that can be shared with clients and colleagues.
- Insights and analysis from Invesco investment professionals.
- Exclusive business-building ideas from Invesco Consulting, a team specializing in innovative techniques for financial intermediaries.
Invesco's goal is to provide this information via personalized connections, said Andrew Schlossberg, head of U.S. retail distribution and global exchange traded funds.
"This app, along with our other mobile and social media strategies, allows our clients more choices about when and where to interact with us," Schlossberg said. "Our goal is to make those interactions as simple and convenient as possible."
We asked Winterberg to take a look at the app and give us his perspective on how successful it is as an app. He pointed to two main ways he thought financial advisors might like to use the app including researching Invesco product information and studying Invesco's perspective on market analysis.
"It's a nice quick way to do this," he said. "Yeah you can do this on a desk top, but it's nice, if you have the time, to sit on the couch and browse the app on your tablet."
However, perhaps one of the most important reasons that the Invesco app gets past Winterberg's screening is that unlike the low-tier asset management apps in his ranking, Invesco's has fresh content made specifically for tablets. He cited elements you interact with, like swiping your fingers to get more information and the the mutual fund dial.
"It's not just regurgitated web content splashed on a tablet screen," Winterberg said.

The Steelers answered Denver's touchdown drive with a 14-play, 79-yard scoring march highlighted by long completions by Roethlisberger. First, a 27-yard pass to Antonio Brown set Pittsburgh up at the Broncos' 18-yard line. Three plays later, Roethlisberger scrambled around and found Emmanuel Sanders for a 17-yard gain to give his team first-and-goal from the Broncos' 4-yard line.
After a spike on first-and-goal and an incompletion, Roethlisberger found tight end Heath Miller open in the end zone on third down for a 4-yard touchdown strike to make it 10-7 with 32 seconds remaining in the first half.
Peyton Manning kneeled the ball for the Broncos on the next possession to bring about halftime.
At halftime, Denver and Pittsburgh are evenly matched in several statistical categories, including first downs, with the Steelers having nine to the Broncos' eight. Pittsburgh also has a slight edge in total yards of offense, 143-126.
Manning completed 10-of-14 passes for 98 yards in the first half, while Roethlisberger is currently 9-for-16 passing for 120 yards and a touchdown.

The Government's personal independence payment is no cause for celebration says Steve Winyard, RNIB's Head of Policy and Campaigns.
In January 2012, the Government published draft eligibility criteria for personal independence payment (PIP) that will replace disability living allowance (DLA) from next month.
These failed to adequately recognise the impact of sight loss and amongst other things threatened blind people's eligibility for the higher/enhanced mobility component of the benefit.
RNIB led a vigorous and high profile campaign throughout 2012 to challenge the draft criteria. We worked closely with other sight loss charities to ensure that our concerns were heard and understood by MPs, DWP Ministers and officials. We secured extensive media coverage for our campaigning including the front page of The Independent in May 2012.
On 13th December 2012, the Government published the final PIP eligibility criteria and the regulations that put these into effect. Overall, they make for bleak reading. The Government now estimates that the PIP caseload in May 2018 will be 608,000 lower than the DLA caseload would have been without the introduction of PIP. In addition a further 510,000 re-assessed DLA recipients will see a reduction in their award.
In sharp contrast, the eligibility criteria for sight loss have been significantly improved. The Government has put using a white cane on a par with using a guide dog. This means that people with severe sight loss who currently receive the higher rate mobility component of DLA and who use orientation aids for all journeys will be eligible for the enhanced rate mobility component of PIP. In addition, those on the lower rate mobility of DLA should be able to access the standard rate of PIP.
The final criteria for the daily living component have also been greatly improved with the introduction of a new activity covering "reading and understanding signs, symbols and words." There was initially some uncertainty whether partially sighted people would score enough points to receive the standard rate but following further activity in Parliament in January the Government confirmed that partially sighted people who cannot read signs and symbols when out and about will be covered.
A new timetable for the introduction of PIP was also announced on 13th December. From April 2013 new claims to PIP (rather than DLA) will be taken in the North West and part of the North East and this will be extended to the remainder of the country from June 2013.
From October 2013 re-assessment starts but only for those DLA recipients with a fixed period award coming up for renewal, for claimants reporting a change in their needs or for DLA recipients reaching the age of 16. For the great majority of DLA claimants transfer to PIP will not start before October 2015 and should be completed by October 2018.
Our attention is now turning to influencing the guidance that assessors employed by Atos and Capita will use. This will provide a lot of the detail as to how the assessments are to be carried out and what information will be collected. We also want to ensure the guidance gives sufficient attention to blind and partially sighted claimants' information needs.
Another way in which RNIB will seek to ensure that blind and partially sighted people do not lose out in the transition from DLA to PIP is through the provision of information, advice and advocacy. Our objective is to ensure that everyone undergoing a PIP assessment has been properly briefed and if they are unsuccessful we will seek to provide support at appeal.

Industrial Ethernet group publishes safety development package
EtherCAT Technology Group's Safety Development Package for Automation Vendors aims to offer a easy way for automation suppliers to implement safety over EtherCAT Ethernet protocol.
The EtherCAT Technology Group's Safety Development Package for Automation Vendors simplifies implementation of safety over the EtherCAT Ethernet protocol. Safety-relevant functionality is in big demand, but can be difficult to implement for many users. To address this challenge, an all-around "carefree package" to develop new Safety over EtherCAT solutions is available for automation system vendors.
Safety over EtherCAT Technology enjoys strong, growing demand, according to the EtherCAT Technology Group (ETG) and is implemented by well-known vendors of control and drive technology, robotics and sensors. ETG member Beckhoff Automation provides test cases and test tools as well as certification support for implementing the Safety over EtherCAT protocol. The parameterization software for the decentralized safety controller is part of the Beckhoff EtherCAT configurator ET9000, which also works with EtherCAT masters from other suppliers because of the system's open interfaces.
At the SPS/IPC/Drives 2010 show in Nuremberg, Germany, Dieter Hess, managing director of 3S-Smart Software Solutions GmbH, announced the support of the CoDeSys Safety editors for this decentralized safety controller. As a result, CoDeSys customers can enhance their control systems with functional safety without having to develop and certify their own safety controller. 3S-Smart Software Solutions GmbH will also implement Safety over EtherCAT in the company's own safety control package.
The Safety over EtherCAT protocol stacks for master and slave devices were announced by IXXAT managing director Christian Schlegel. IXXAT offers the protocol software and supports its customers with implementing and certifying their Safety over EtherCAT devices.
Dr. Guido Beckmann, chairman of the ETG Technical Committee and safety expert with Beckhoff Automation, underlines the compactness and openness of the safety protocol: "Experience shows that code size and stack delays in Safety over EtherCAT are substantially lower than comparable protocols. The safety container of a minimal 6 bytes allows users to simply use the protocol on legacy fieldbus systems as well. Thanks to the manifold support offering, it now becomes even easier to integrate Safety over EtherCAT in a vendor's product portfolio: whether to 'Make or Buy' – with Safety over EtherCAT, vendors now have a choice."
EtherCAT offers real-time performance and topology flexibility, while meeting or undercutting traditional fieldbus cost levels. EtherCAT features include high precision device synchronization, cable redundancy options, and a functional safety protocol (SIL3). EtherCAT is an international standard (IEC, ISO and SEMI).
The protocol Safety over EtherCAT (FSoE) was specified for the transmission of safety relevant data. It is standardized in IEC 61784-3 Ed.2 and is used to send input information of safety sensors (such as safety light curtains or emergency stop buttons) to a safety logic controller. Based on these inputs, this controller computes the commands for the safe outputs (such as contactors or safety relevant drives) and thus controls the safety functionality of the machine.
The EtherCAT Technology Group (ETG) is an organization in which user companies from various industries and automation suppliers support, promote and advance EtherCAT technology. With over 1500 members from 52 countries, the EtherCAT Technology Group has become the largest and fastest growing fieldbus organization in the world, the group said. It was founded in November 2003. www.ethercat.org
