Q: How do I apply for admission to the Honors College?
A: Please use the online application form available here. You will be asked to submit an essay online and to provide information about class rank, gpa, SAT or ACT scores.
Q: Are there minimum requirements for admission to the Honors College?
A: There are no minimum requirements. The typical high school student applying for the Honors College ranks in the top 10% of her/her graduating class, has 1200 SAT combined math & verbal score, and 3.5 or greater high school gpa. Transfer students must have at least a 3.8 college gpa.
Q: How will I know if I am admitted to the Honors Program?
A: All correspondence, including acceptance or denial letters, from the Honors College will be done through email. For current ODU students, all correspondence will go to your ODU account. For transfer and incoming first-year students, the email will be sent to the email address on your application.
Q: Are honors courses harder?
A: Not necessarily. Honors instructors have been challenged to make courses more enriching. Significant reductions in class size allow for more interaction with faculty and among students; collaborative projects, civic learning, and research-based activities are encouraged.
Q: Will honors courses take up too much of my study time?
A: Not necessarily. Honors courses tend to be faster paced and more intellectually challenging, but they should not require significantly more time than non-honors courses.
Q: As an Honors College student, will I take more classes than other students?
A: Yes and No.
The general education requirements for honors students are the same as for other students; the only difference is that Honors College students are required to use at least four honors courses to meet these requirements.
Honors College students will also transform two upper-level courses (often required in their major) into "Honors Contract Courses." These courses provide planned opportunities for the student to meet with the instructor to review, discuss, and revise the honors course assignments/components, which are often done as an alternative to some or all of the regular course assignments.
In addition, Honors college students are required to complete a one-credit civic learning project (HNRS 387) and a senior capstone course (HNRS 487) in order to enhance their academic portfolio in preparation for graduate school or a profession. If the tuition for HNRS 387 and HNRS 487 is not already covered by a scholarship, the Honors College will cover the tuition costs for these two classes.
Q: How do I apply to reside in the honors housing?
A: You will select honors housing as a preference when you apply for university housing using the online application available on the webpage for the Office of Housing and Residential Life (click here). Note: honors housing is assigned according to the date the housing application and deposit are received online by the Office of Housing and Residential Life.
Q: If I submit my Honors College contract, am I required to attend ODU?
A: No. The Honors College contract is not binding. We use that contract as a way to determine how many people may be in the Honors College. Also, acceptance to the Honors College does not confirm enrollment at ODU; the Office of Admissions must be contacted to confirm enrollment. You can always cancel your Honors contract with us by emailing us at Honors College or calling 757-683-4865.
For any other questions, please email us at Honors College.

Son de la Frontera Radio
An inventive flamenco band with a deep respect for the style's historical roots, Son de la Frontera were highly touted by critics upon their 2004 recording debut, garnering significant attention with their use of the Cuban tres guitar and their impressive live spectacle as a touring act. Formed in 1998 in Mor+¦n de la Frontera, a town of approximately 30,000 in the Seville province of Andalusia, Spain, Son de la Frontera are comprised of Ra+¦l Rodr+¡guez (Cuban tres, flamenco guitar; born in Seville, 1974), Paco de Amparo (flamenco guitar; Mor+¦n de la Frontera, 1969), Manuel Flores (comp+ís, flamenco dancing; Mor+¦n de la Frontera, 1969), Moi de Mor+¦n (singing, comp+ís; Mor+¦n de la Frontera, 1977), and Pepe Torres (flamenco dancing, comp+ís; Seville, 1978).
Inspired by and initially a tribute to Mor+¦n de la Frontera flamenco guitar legend Diego del Gastor (1908-1973), Son de la Frontera released their self-titled debut album in 2004 on Nuevos Medios. Championed by critics internationally, partly on account of their unorthodox use of the Cuban tres within a flamenco context, Son de la Frontera were awarded a Flamenco Hoy prize in 2004, along with awards for Album of the Year and Instrumental Album of the Year from the specialty website Deflamenco.com, which also awarded the band Best Live Show in 2005. Son de la Frontera's second album, Cal (2006), brought home additional critical recognition, including another Flamenco Hoy prize and an Instrumental Album of the Year nod from Deflamenco.com, plus a Latin Grammy Award nomination in the category of Best Flamenco Album in 2007 and a spot on PopMattters' Top Ten World Music Album list of 2007. The acclaim continued for Son de la Frontera in 2008 as they brought their live show overseas to New York, California, and London and were nominated for the honor of Best European Group at the annual BBC Music Awards. ~ Jason Birchmeier

HOOPESTON — Several Hoopeston Area school district administrators attended an Alert Lockdown Inform Counter Evacuate (ALICE) training in Champaign last week to learn a new method of dealing with an intruder with a gun in a school building.
Superintendent Hank Hornbeck told board members Thursday following the first simulated shooting, which used the present method taught administrators and teachers, "It's amazing how many emotions you go through when waiting for the shooter when a window is there to escape through," Hornbeck said.
The present training for gun-toting intruders is to lock the classroom, turn off the lights, draw window shades, keep quiet, hide under something and wait for help to arrive. This traditional lockdown procedure might be getting people killed, Shawn Slezak, the national training officer, told the administrators during the two-day session.
After Sandy Hook and the other school shootings, the federal government began to think differently. This new way of thinking was to empower students and teachers to make their own decisions to give everyone a better chance of survival.
The ALICE training teaches the students and teachers to run, hide or fight. If a window is available or another exit, use them.
The second simulated shooting used the ALICE training, said Hornbeck, and fewer people were killed.
"When it comes down to it, we need to think about this other option," Hornbrck said.
He plans to discuss this method with the administrators and staff and make plans to train them on the ALICE method of lockdown procedurs.
In other school board business, board members unanimously approved the Hoopeston Marching Band trip to Altlanta in December 2014 to attend the January Bowl game and the calendar waiver for Martin Luther King, President Abraham Lincoln and Casmimir Pulaski's birthday, Christopher Columbus Day and Veterans Day as school attendance days.
Also, board members board approved unanimously the creation of a district webmaster and middle school dean of students and district athletic director as presented with job descriptions for both presented at the January board meeting.
The next Hoopeston school board meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 16.

Type 1 diabetes in children is a condition in which your child's pancreas no longer produces the insulin your child needs to survive, and you'll need to replace the missing insulin. Type 1 diabetes in children used to be known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes.
The diagnosis of type 1 diabetes in children can be overwhelming at first. Suddenly, you and your child — depending on his or her age — must learn how to give injections, count carbohydrates and monitor blood sugar.
Although type 1 diabetes in children requires consistent care, advances in blood sugar monitoring and insulin delivery have improved the daily management of type 1 diabetes in children.
The signs and symptoms of type 1 diabetes in children usually develop quickly, over a period of weeks. Look for:
When to see a doctor
Talk to your child's doctor if you notice any of the signs or symptoms of type 1 diabetes — increased thirst and frequent urination, extreme hunger, weight loss, blurred vision, or fatigue.
The exact cause of type 1 diabetes is unknown. Scientists do know that in most people with type 1 diabetes, the body's own immune system — which normally fights harmful bacteria and viruses — mistakenly destroys the insulin-producing (islet) cells in the pancreas. Genetics may play a role in this process, and exposure to certain viruses may trigger the disease.
Insulin key to sugar entering cells
Whatever the cause, once the islet cells are destroyed, your child will produce little or no insulin. Normally, the hormone insulin helps glucose enter your child's cells to provide energy to the muscles and tissues. Insulin comes from the pancreas, a gland located just behind the stomach. When everything is working properly, once you eat, the pancreas secretes more insulin into the bloodstream. As insulin circulates, it acts like a key by unlocking microscopic doors that allow sugar to enter the body's cells. Insulin lowers the amount of sugar in the bloodstream, and as the blood sugar level drops, so does the secretion of insulin from the pancreas.
The liver acts as a glucose storage and manufacturing center. When insulin levels are low — when you haven't eaten in a while, for example — the liver releases stored glycogen, which is then converted to glucose to keep your blood glucose level within a normal range.
Dangerous sugar level in bloodstream
In type 1 diabetes, none of this occurs because there's no or very little insulin to let glucose into the cells. So instead of being transported into your child's cells, sugar builds up in your child's bloodstream, where it can cause life-threatening complications.
The cause of type 1 diabetes is different from the more common type 2 diabetes. In type 2, the islet cells are still functioning, but the body becomes resistant to insulin or the pancreas doesn't produce enough insulin.
There aren't many known risk factors for type 1 diabetes, though researchers continue to find new possibilities.
Known risk factors
These include:
Possible risk factors
Possible risk factors for type 1 diabetes include:
Type 1 diabetes can affect nearly every major organ in your child's body, including the heart, blood vessels, nerves, eyes and kidneys. The good news is that keeping your child's blood sugar level close to normal most of the time can dramatically reduce the risk of these complications.
Long-term complications of type 1 diabetes develop gradually. Eventually, if blood sugar levels aren't well controlled, diabetes complications may be disabling or even life-threatening.
Your child's family doctor or pediatrician will probably make the initial diagnosis of diabetes, and possibly send your child straight to the hospital. There, the staff will stabilize his or her blood sugar levels, and you and your child will learn about insulin delivery, carbohydrate counting and more. Diabetes education may also be done on an outpatient basis if your child's condition is stable.
Once your child is discharged from the hospital, his or her diabetes care will likely be handled by a doctor who specializes in metabolic disorders in children (pediatric endocrinologist). Your child's health care team will also generally include a dietitian, a certified diabetes educator, and a doctor who specializes in eye care (ophthalmologist).
Because appointments can be brief, and there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well prepared for any appointments you have with your child's health care team. Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment, and what you can expect from your doctor.
What you can do
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions that can help you clarify aspects of your child's care can be useful. Some of your concerns may be best addressed by a dietitian or a diabetes nurse educator. Ask your doctor for a referral. For type 1 diabetes in children, some topics you may want to address with your doctor, dietitian or diabetes educator include:
What to expect from your doctor
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over any points you want to spend more time on. Your doctor may ask:
What you can do in the meantime
If your child's blood sugar isn't well controlled, or if you're not sure about what to do in a certain situation, don't hesitate to contact your child's doctor or diabetes educator in between appointments for advice and guidance.
If your child's doctor suspects diabetes, he or she will recommend a screening test. The primary test used to diagnose type 1 diabetes in children is the:
If your child's random blood sugar test results don't suggest diabetes, but your doctor still suspects it because of your child's symptoms, you doctor may do a:
Another test your doctor might use is a fasting blood sugar test. A blood sample will be taken after an overnight fast. A fasting blood sugar level less than 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L) is normal. A fasting blood sugar level from 100 to 125 mg/dL (5.6 to 6.9 mmol/L) is considered prediabetes. If it's 126 mg/dL (7 mmol/L) or higher on two separate tests, your child will be diagnosed with diabetes.
If your child is diagnosed with diabetes, your doctor will also run blood tests to check for autoantibodies that are common in type 1 diabetes and help doctors distinguish between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The presence of ketones — byproducts from the breakdown of fat — in your child's urine also suggests type 1 diabetes, rather than type 2.
After the diagnosis
Once your child has been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, he or she will regularly visit his or her doctor to ensure good diabetes management.
During these visits, the doctor will also check your child's A1C levels. Your child's target A1C goal may vary depending on his or her age and various other factors. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) generally recommends slightly higher A1C levels for children and teens than for adults, because children are less likely to notice the symptoms of low blood sugar levels. For children younger than age 6, the ADA recommends an A1C of less than 8.5 percent. In children between ages 6 and 12, the recommendation is for an A1C under 8 percent, and teenagers are advised to try to keep their A1C under 7.5 percent.
Compared with repeated daily blood sugar tests, A1C testing better indicates how well your child's diabetes treatment plan is working. An elevated A1C level may signal the need for a change in your child's insulin regimen or meal plan.
In addition to the A1C test, the doctor will also periodically check your child's cholesterol levels, thyroid function, liver function and kidney function using blood and urine samples, as well as periodically test for celiac disease. The doctor will also examine your child to assess his or her blood pressure and growth, and will check the sites where your child tests his or her blood sugar and delivers insulin.
Treatment for type 1 diabetes is a lifelong commitment of blood sugar monitoring, insulin, healthy eating and regular exercise — even for kids. And as your child grows and changes, so will his or her diabetes treatment plan. Over the years, your child may need different doses or types of insulin, a new meal plan or other treatment changes.
If managing your child's diabetes seems overwhelming, take it one day at a time. Some days you'll manage your child's blood sugar perfectly. Other days, it may seem as if nothing works well. Don't forget that you're not alone. You'll work closely with your child's diabetes treatment team — doctor, diabetes educator and registered dietitian — to keep your child's blood sugar level as close to normal as possible.
Blood sugar monitoring
Depending on what type of insulin therapy your child needs, you may need to check and record your child's blood sugar at least three times a day, but probably more often. This requires frequent finger sticks. Some blood glucose meters allow for testing at other sites. Frequent testing is the only way to make sure that your child's blood sugar level remains within his or her target range — which may change as your child grows and changes. Your child's doctor will let you know what your child's blood sugar target range is. Your doctor may ask you to keep a log of the blood glucose readings, or he or she may download that information from the blood glucose meter.
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)
CGM is the newest way to monitor blood sugar levels, and may be most helpful for people who have developed hypoglycemia unawareness. CGM attaches to the body using a fine needle just under the skin that checks blood glucose level every few minutes. CGM isn't yet considered as accurate as standard blood sugar monitoring, so it's not considered a replacement method for keeping track of blood sugar, but is used as an additional tool.
Insulin and other medications
Anyone who has type 1 diabetes needs insulin treatment to survive. Because stomach enzymes interfere with insulin taken by mouth, oral insulin isn't an option for lowering blood sugar.
Many types of insulin are available, including:
Depending on your child's age and needs, the doctor may prescribe a mixture of insulin types to use throughout the day and night.
Insulin delivery options
Often, insulin is injected using a fine needle and syringe or an insulin pen — a device that looks like an ink pen, except the cartridge is filled with insulin.
An insulin pump also may be an option for some children. The pump is a device about the size of a cell phone worn on the outside of the body. In most cases, a tube connects the reservoir of insulin to a catheter that's inserted under the skin of the abdomen. A wireless pump that uses small pods filled with insulin is another option that's now available. The pump is programmed to dispense specific amounts of insulin automatically. It can be adjusted to deliver more or less insulin depending on meals, activity level and blood sugar level.
Healthy eating
Contrary to popular perception, there's no diabetes diet. Your child won't be restricted to a lifetime of boring, bland foods. Instead, your child will need plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole grains — foods that are high in nutrition and low in fat and calories. Your child's dietitian will likely suggest that your child — and the rest of the family — consume fewer animal products and sweets. In fact, it's the best eating plan for the entire family. Sugary foods are OK, once in a while, as long as they're included in your child's meal plan.
Yet understanding what and how much to feed your child can be a challenge. A registered dietitian can help you create a meal plan that fits your child's health goals, food preferences and lifestyle. Certain foods, such as those with a high sugar or fat content, may be more difficult to incorporate into your child's meal plan than healthier choices. For example, high-fat foods — because fat slows digestion — may cause a spike in blood sugar several hours after your child has eaten. Unfortunately, there's no set formula to tell you how your child's body will process different foods. But, as time passes, you'll learn more about how your child's favorites affect his or her blood sugar, and then you can learn to compensate for them.
Physical activity
Everyone needs regular aerobic exercise, and children who have type 1 diabetes are no exception. Encourage your child to get regular physical activity. Sign up for a sports team or dance lessons. Better yet, exercise together. Play catch in the backyard. Walk or run through your neighborhood. Visit an indoor climbing wall or local pool. Make physical activity part of your child's daily routine.
But remember that physical activity usually lowers blood sugar, and it can affect blood sugar levels for up to 12 hours after exercise. If your child begins a new activity, check your child's blood sugar more often than usual until you learn how his or her body reacts to the activity. You might need to adjust your child's meal plan or insulin doses to compensate for the increased activity.
Even if your child takes insulin and eats on a rigid schedule, the amount of sugar in his or her blood can change unpredictably. With help from your child's diabetes treatment team, you'll learn how your child's blood sugar level changes in response to:
Investigational treatments
Signs of trouble
Despite your best efforts, sometimes problems will arise. Certain short-term complications of type 1 diabetes require immediate care. Left untreated, these conditions can cause seizures and loss of consciousness (coma).
Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). If your child's blood sugar level drops below his or her target range, it's known as low blood sugar. Ask your doctor what's considered a low blood sugar level for your child. Blood sugar levels can drop for many reasons, including skipping a meal, getting more physical activity than normal or injecting too much insulin. Hypoglycemia occurs more frequently with intermediate-acting insulin, such as NPH.
Teach your child the symptoms of low blood sugar, and that when in doubt, he or she should always do a blood sugar test. Early signs and symptoms of low blood sugar include:
Later signs and symptoms of low blood sugar, which are sometimes mistaken for alcohol intoxication in teens and adults, include:
If your child develops hypoglycemia during the night, he or she might wake with sweat-soaked pajamas or a headache. Thanks to a natural rebound effect, nighttime hypoglycemia might cause an unusually high blood sugar reading first thing in the morning.
If your child has a low blood sugar reading, give him or her fruit juice, glucose tablets, hard candy, regular (not diet) soda or another source of sugar. Then retest his or her blood sugar in about 15 minutes to make sure it has gone up into the normal range. If it's not in the normal range, re-treat with more sugar (juice, candy, glucose tablets or another source of sugar) and then retest in another 15 minutes. Keep doing this until you get a normal reading. It's a good idea to have your child eat another snack, this one containing a mixed food source, such as peanut butter and crackers, to help stabilize the blood sugar.
If a blood glucose meter isn't readily available, treat for low blood sugar anyway if your child has symptoms of hypoglycemia, and then test as soon as possible.
Make sure your child always carries a source of fast-acting sugar with him or her.
Left untreated, low blood sugar will cause your child to lose consciousness. If this occurs, he or she may need an emergency injection of glucagon — a hormone that stimulates the release of sugar into the blood. Be sure your child always has a glucagon emergency kit available — at home, at school, during sports, on sleepovers — and make sure it hasn't expired.
High blood sugar (hyperglycemia). As with low blood sugar, your child's blood sugar can rise for many reasons, including eating too much, eating the wrong types of foods, not taking enough insulin or illness.
Watch for:
If you suspect hyperglycemia, check your child's blood sugar. You might need to adjust your child's meal plan or medications. If your child's blood sugar is higher than his or her target range, you'll likely need to administer a "correction" using an insulin shot or through an insulin pump. A correction is an additional dose of insulin that should bring your child's blood sugar back into the normal range. High blood sugar levels don't come down as quickly as they go up. Ask your doctor how long to wait until you recheck. If your child uses an insulin pump, you may need to change the pump site if blood sugar levels don't come down.
If your child has two consecutive blood sugar readings above 250 mg/dL (13.9 mmol/L), have your child test for ketones using a urine test stick. Don't allow your child to exercise if his or her blood sugar level is high or anytime ketones are present. If only a trace or small amount of ketones are present, have your child drink extra fluids to flush out the ketones.
If your child's blood sugar is persistently above 300 mg/dL (16.7 mmol/L), call your child's doctor or seek emergency care.
Increased ketones in your child's urine (diabetic ketoacidosis). If your child's cells are starved for energy, your child's body may begin to break down fat — producing toxic acids known as ketones.
Signs and symptoms of this serious condition include:
If you suspect diabetic ketoacidosis, check your child's urine for excess ketones with an over-the-counter ketones test kit. If your child has a large amount of ketones in his or her urine, call your child's doctor right away or seek emergency care. Also, call your doctor if your child has vomited more than once in a four-hour period and has ketones in his or her urine.
Type 1 diabetes is a serious disease. Helping your child follow his or her diabetes treatment plan takes round-the-clock commitment and will initially require some significant lifestyle changes. But your efforts are worthwhile. Careful management of type 1 diabetes can reduce your child's risk of serious — even life-threatening — complications.
As your child gets older:
Above all, stay positive. The habits you teach your child today will help him or her enjoy an active and healthy life with type 1 diabetes.
School and diabetes
Along with at-home care, you'll also need to work with your child's school nurse and teachers to make sure they know what the symptoms of high and low blood sugar levels are, and in some cases, the school nurse may need to administer insulin or check your child's blood sugar levels. Federal law protects children with diabetes, and schools must make reasonable accommodations to ensure that all children get a proper education.
Living with type 1 diabetes isn't easy — for you or for your child. Good diabetes management requires a lot of time and effort, especially in the beginning.
Your child's emotions
Diabetes can affect your child's emotions both directly and indirectly. Poorly controlled blood sugar can directly affect his or her emotions by causing behavior changes, such as irritability. And, if that happens at a birthday party because your child forgot to take insulin before having a piece of cake, he or she could end up fighting with friends.
Another way diabetes can take a toll on your child's emotions is by making him or her feel different from other kids. Most of the time, children don't want to be different, and having to draw blood and give themselves shots definitely sets kids with diabetes apart from their peers. Getting your child together with other children who have diabetes may help make your child feel less alone.
Mental health and substance abuse
People with diabetes have an increased risk of depression and anxiety, which may be why many diabetes specialists regularly include a social worker or psychologist as part of their diabetes care team.
Teenagers, in particular, may have a particularly hard time dealing with diabetes. A child who has been very good about sticking to his or her diabetes regimen may rebel in the teen years by ignoring his or her diabetes care. Teens may also have a harder time telling friends or boyfriends or girlfriends that they have diabetes because they want to fit in. They may also experiment with drugs or alcohol, behaviors that can be even more dangerous for someone with diabetes. Eating disorders and forgoing insulin to lose weight are other problems that can occur more often in the teen years.
Talk to your teen, or ask your teen's doctor to talk to your teen, about the effects of drugs and alcohol on someone with diabetes. If you notice that your child or adolescent is persistently sad or pessimistic, or if you notice dramatic changes in his or her sleeping habits, friends or school performance, talk to your doctor or a therapist to have your teen assessed for depression. Additionally, let your child's doctor know if you notice that your son or daughter is losing weight or doesn't seem to be eating well.
Support groups
Talking to a counselor or therapist may help your child or you to cope with the dramatic lifestyle changes that come with a type 1 diabetes diagnosis. Your child may find encouragement and understanding in a type 1 diabetes support group for children. Support groups for parents also are available. Although support groups aren't for everyone, they can be good sources of information. Group members often know about the latest treatments and tend to share their own experiences or helpful information, such as where to find carbohydrate counts for your child's favorite takeout restaurant. If you're interested, your doctor may be able to recommend a group in your area.
Or, you can visit the websites of the American Diabetes Association, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation or Children with Diabetes to find support and regional activities for people with type 1 diabetes and their families. The American Diabetes Association also offers diabetes camp programs that provide children and teens with diabetes education and support. And, these groups offer online information and forums for children and teens.
Putting information in context
Because complications from poorly controlled diabetes can be so frightening, it's important to remember that many studies — and therefore, a lot of literature you may be reading — were completed before many advances in diabetes care occurred. And that means many of those scary statistics don't necessarily apply to your child. If you and your child work with your child's doctor and do your best to control blood sugar levels, your child with likely live a long and normal life.
There is no treatment that can replace insulin for anyone with type 1 diabetes. People who have type 1 diabetes must use injected insulin (exogenous insulin) every day to survive.
It's been suggested that some substances may help with blood sugar control, but none have been proved to effectively manage or prevent type 1 diabetes. Some of the substances that have been tested and found ineffective for blood sugar control include nicotinamide, vitamin D, cinnamon, zinc and alpha-lipoic acid.
There isn't yet enough evidence on vitamin E or chromium to assess whether or not these substances might be helpful in lowering blood sugar levels.
There's nothing you or your child could have done to prevent type 1 diabetes; there is currently no known way to prevent type 1 diabetes.
Tests can be done in children who have a high risk of developing type 1 diabetes to see if they have any of the antibodies associated with type 1. However, the presence of these antibodies doesn't mean that diabetes is a certainty, and there's currently no known way to prevent type 1 diabetes if the antibodies are found.
Researchers are working on preventing type 1 diabetes in people who have a high risk of developing the disease, such as those who have the type 1 antibodies, and others are working on preventing further destruction of the islet cells in people who are newly diagnosed.
Some children with type 1 diabetes may be eligible for clinical trials, but carefully weigh the risks and benefits of any treatment available in a clinical trial with your doctor.
While there's nothing you could have done to prevent your child's diabetes, you can help your child prevent complications due to type 1 diabetes by helping him or her maintain good blood sugar control as much as possible.
In addition, be sure to schedule regular visits with your child's diabetes doctor and a yearly eye exam beginning no more than five years after the initial diabetes diagnosis.
And, like everyone else, people with type 1 diabetes should eat a healthy diet full of fruits, vegetables and whole grains, and participate in regular physical activity to help keep their hearts healthy.

Enbridge Pipeline LLC took another step forward Thursday morning, in its search for approval on a new billion dollar project.
The North Dakota Public Service Commission held the last of three public hearings on Enbridge's proposed 299 mile Sandpiper Pipeline. The 24 inch line would run through nine counties in North Dakota and would have the capacity to carry 225,000 barrels of crude oil per day. Today was the last chance for Enbridge to testify in favor of the project.
The company says the pipeline's success will be attributed to North Dakota land owners.
"Although we have a legal easement to be on the property, in many ways we view ourselves as guests on that property. We value that relationship, I think if you were to survey the majority of our landowners, they would think that we treat them very well and very fairly," says the director of North Dakota Regional Robert Steed. "That's not to say that you'll find 100 percent having that viewpoint, but the vast majority will."
After the Enbridge testimony, the public gave their comments of the project. While not everyone was in favor of the Sandpiper line, a majority of the comments made in Minot were positive.
"Knowing there's a pipeline commitment from Endbridge will go a long ways to improve the perception that the industry is here for at least two generations to come," says District 5 Rep. Scott Louser. "It will cause individuals to not be transit workers, and hopefully will bring their families to our community."
"In my eyes, Enbridge makes sure they bring the best skilled contractors and workers for jobs like these. I wanted to let everyone know in a positive way how putting this line in helps this area," says Laborers' International Union representative Matt Duncombe. "There are many career opportunities for the people that live around here. I had a chance to talk to some of our skilled laborers and how much they're looking forward to seeing this pipeline move forward. Many people like myself depend on jobs like these to support our families."
The Public Service Commissioners expect to collect all of the project information and public comments and make a final decision on the Sandpiper line in April.

First Amendment
Calling doc 'a real tool' isn't defamatory, Minnesota Supreme Court rules
Posted Feb 1, 2013 6:30 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Calling someone a "real tool" is an expression of opinion that isn't defamatory, the Minnesota Supreme Court has ruled.
On Wednesday, the court tossed a lawsuit filed by neurologist David McKee, who claimed he was defamed by several statements made by defendant Dennis Laurion on websites used to rate doctors, report the Duluth News Tribune, the Minneapolis Star Tribune and the Associated Press.
McKee had treated Laurion's father after a stroke, and Laurion thought the doctor was rude and insensitive. "When I mentioned Dr. McKee's name to a friend who is a nurse, she said, 'Dr. McKee is a real tool!' " Laurion wrote.
None of the statements were actionable, the supreme court said, because there was no proof they were false or capable of harming reputation. The "real tool" assertion was protected as a statement of pure opinion under the First Amendment, Justice Alan Page wrote in the opinion (PDF).
"Referring to someone as 'a real tool' falls into the category of pure opinion because the term 'real tool' cannot be reasonably interpreted as stating a fact and it cannot be proven true or false," he said. "We conclude that it is an opinion amounting to 'mere vituperation and abuse' or 'rhetorical hyperbole' that cannot be the basis for a defamation action."
Laurion's lawyer, John Kelly, told the Star Tribune that the court's ruling was based on a defamation analysis; the fact that the statements were made online did not affect the result. The principles "are applicable to statements made irrespective of the medium," he told the newspaper.

By LOHR McKINSTRY
---- — CROWN POINT — Lakes to Locks Passage just received an $85,000 grant to plan for the proposed Lake Champlain Bridge Heritage Area Park.
The park, the idea of former Essex County Planner William Johnston of Westport, would link Crown Point State Historic Site and Crown Point Reservation Campground with Chimney Point State Historic Site on the other side of the bridge in Vermont.
The grant will also enable preparation of construction documents for landscaping and traffic-calming measures to create scenic character for the nationally-designated byway, State Route 185, that leads up to the Champlain Bridge.
The new Champlain Bridge has pedestrian and bicycle paths, and walking and bicycling across the bridge have become an attraction in itself.
"We now have an opportunity to rethink how the bridge, highway and surrounding state historic and recreational areas could function as a unified park with facilities that work together through coordinated operation and physical connections," said Byway Director Janet Kennedy in a news release.
She said the grant, from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration, will help further the Byway's mission of aiding rural economic development.
"We want to provide a linear museum that will enhance people's experience of the nature, history, archaeology and other intrinsic qualities of the Byway. These grants allow us to provide and maintain the unique recreational and educational experiences for visitors and residents alike that will help to sustain local communities' economies and quality of life."
Lakes to Locks Passage is a New York State Byway designated by the Federal Highway Administration as an All-American Road in 2002. The Byway covers six counties in New York state: Rensselaer, Saratoga, Washington, Warren, Essex, and Clinton.
At the core of the Byway are the interconnected waterways that link New York to Quebec: the Mohawk and Hudson Rivers through the Champlain Canal, Lake George, Lake Champlain, the Richelieu River and Chambly Canal to the St. Lawrence River.
The Byway is headquartered at the Lake Champlain Visitors Center in Crown Point.

Block Island, Rhode Island
This lonesome 30-square-mile island holds the distinction of producing some of the largest bass ever caught on rod and reel, including fish in recent years that have been upwards of the 77-pound mark. All around the cliff side of the island lie rock fields and swash points that generate swirly currents, disorienting sand eels and other baitfish. Strong tides and high-ground boulder fields covered with mussels define the south side near Southwest Ledge, while the northeast side is mostly sandy bottom. Squid and scup, which bring in the bass, are drawn to the area.
Trip Planner
Hot Spots: Devil's Bridge, New Harbor, Great Salt Pond, Southwest Ledge, North Rip.
Top Techniques: Eeling, bucktailing , trolling tube and worm rigs 1, live-lining squid and scup.
Essentials: Green, white or red pork rinds; 3- to 4-ounce bucktails 2; three-way swivel eel rigs.

Striper Road Trip
Striped bass make their spring run up the East Coast, hitting spots like Chesapeake Bay, New Jersey, Montauk, Block Island and Cape Cod along the way. Varied techniques of bucktailing, livelining bunker and eels, surfcasting with plugs and poppers, trolling spoons and shad bar rigs, and jigging metal lures all lay claim to catching and hooking big striped bass.

NEW ORLEANS -- Grace Kaynor is the wife of a shooting victim who is now speaking about a desperate situation following a violent crime.
"I went to sleep and the next thing I knew the police were in my bedroom saying, 'Ma'am, you have to wake up. Your husband's been shot and he's in the driveway,'" she said.
It was the night of Oct. 2, when a father went out to his car to get something for his special-needs daughter. That's when a neighbor heard two gunshots and a man shouting "No."
The men then went in the house and stole several things, even out of the daughter's hands.
There have been no arrests in the case.
The headline news coverage is over, but a family is still struggling. In some ways, the real pain is just beginning.
"I said, 'It's all going to be OK, Sandy.' And he said, 'No, it's never going to be OK. I can't feel my legs, Grace,'" Grace Kaynor said.
That was two months ago. Today, Grace is fighting for her husband, who is running out of time to heal.
Still in a hospital, he lost some of his organs. Two bullets destroyed them and severed his spinal cord. He's beat a near fatal infection and pneumonia, clinically died on the operating table, his brain deprived of oxygen. This brilliant lawyer and musician, who received academic and athletic honors at Yale, is now unresponsive.
Insurance says it's time for a nursing home.
"I don't feel that my husband should have to suffer because he was shot in our driveway. He is a completely innocent victim in all of this," said Grace through tears.
Grace wants Sandy to have hyperbaric oxygen treatments to heal his brain. Their 8-year-old Phoebe has cerebral palsy. Ninety dives, or treatments, in the hyperbaric chamber changed her.
"The first time Dr. Harch interviewed Phoebe, she could not even climb up on the examining table. Now she is writing. She is thriving. She's reading. She's doing things I never thought she'd be able to do," explained Grace, who said that Phoebe is winning awards riding horses for therapy.
Dr. Paul Harch is the head of hyperbaric medicine at LSU Health Sciences Center.
Sandy only got 12 oxygen treatments, and new cell phone video shows he now responds to commands, like moving his hands.
"Now he is able to make eye contact, good eye contact. He is able to move his hands on command as of this weekend for close family members. He generally looks in better health and he looks more awake and alive," said Grace.
To see noticeable brain changes, Dr. Harch does a minimum of 40 treatments. But the clock runs out Tuesday. Insurance, and some doctors, don't believe in hyperbaric oxygen for the brain. It is used off-label for brain damage. Hospital coverage, where the oxygen chambers are, will stop.
Grace is now scrambling to file an appeal and to find a facility that will simulate him to heal. That may be in another state.
Sandy has turned the lives of at-risk youths around through Big Brothers Big Sisters and the AmeriCorps program City Year. The Connecticut transplant believed in rebuilding New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. Now his teen son feels his daddy is slipping away.
"He's scared. We're all scared. I'm scared for my husband because we had a beautiful life together. He's my best friend," said Grace as she cried.

CSC Rangeland Center behind schedule
One of the three capital construction projects underway at Chadron State College isn't going quite as fast as scheduled, but is still moving ahead steadily.
Vice President of Administration Dale Grant says the $2.9-million dollar Coffee Agriculture Pavilion...the first phase of the Rangeland Center going up on the southeast corner of the campus...will likely miss its planned opening date of late August by about 2 months.
Grant says there are two major reasons the Coffee Pavilion...primarily an indoor arena...is behind: the weather and scheduling problems for the contractor...Sampson Construction.
Most people have no idea how far along the pavilion is because it can't be seen from the north as it sits on the south slope of a hill just east of the Burkheiser Complex and the CSC softball field. Grant says the location was picked to lessen the impact on the rest of the Chadron.
Sampson Construction will be the contract/construction-manager-at-risk for the second phase of the Rangeland Center, which will include the CSC herbarium, classrooms, offices, and laboratories for the school's ag, rangeland, and wildlife programs. Grant expects construction early next year.
The state's capital fund budget approved by the legislature earlier this year and signed by the governor included $3.7-million for the Phase II project...which is tentatively scheduled to open for fall of 2015.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Originally conceived to fire through the small roof at 65 feet, Top Down Design heads that direction just right of the large pine tree and adjacent to Completion Backword Principle. A slew of 5.10 moves leads to an awkward, smearing crux around a very blank seeming bulge. Pull around this thing on thin friction, stepping left, into a small seam. Things run a bit after the last clip, but the edges improve and the climbing is no harder than 5.10. The belay is just below the roof. Frankly, we pulled the roof on top rope a bit to the left, significantly off the existing line, however, when climbing got scotched in this part of the world a lot really fine climbing went undone, and we are the worse for losing these lines. One could easily establish a line between CBP and TDD that pulled the roof and would turn up a full 100 foot route of stellar quality.
QDs only. This 60 foot route needs only half a dozen draws.

Image resize on upload
3 April 2009 at 2:13pm
hi, I would like to resize image when user upload a image through cms. I have done my readings and tried to find relative post in the forum. The following is what i have found, but none of them actually solve my problem.
I follow the first article as it is very close to what I want, 'http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=imageupload'. Yet something is off, and my script does not work. The following is what I have written.
class AboutUsPage extends Page {
static $db = array(
'Headline' => 'Varchar(255)'
static $has_one = array(
'AboutUsImage' => 'AboutUsPage_CustomeImage'
function getCMSFields() {
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Main', new TextField('Headline'), 'Content');
$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.Images", new ImageField('AboutUsImage','Image'));
return $fields;
class AboutUsPage_Controller extends Page_Controller {
class AboutUsPage_CustomeImage extends Image {
function genertateCustomeImage($gd){
return $gd->resizeByWidth(259);
Could someone point me to the right direction please?
Thank you for taking your time to read this post!
Re: Image resize on upload

I forgot to mention that, by doing so, the database is all linked correctly, I have record in File table that points to 'AboutUs' table, that's all good, only that image uploaded is not resized. what needs to be called in the template? I have tried following but it failed.

Hi Silverfish
Try something like this;
<% control AboutUsImage %>
<% control CustomeImage %>

<% end_control %>
<% end_control %>
<% control AboutUsImage %>

<% end_control %>
Re: Image resize on upload
6 April 2009 at 12:17pm
Hi aram
Thank you for the reply! It makes sense. However, it does not seem to work for me.
With the first method, it seems that <% control CustomeImage %> does not exist, if I remove this tag and end tag, the AboutUsImage shows.
With second method, nothing is in the src.
I have double checked the file permission on the server and give 777 to the assets/ and its sub directories. Images appears to be stored in the 'File' table, and has ClassName of 'AboutUsPage_CustomeImage', but the image is in its original size.
Re: Image resize on upload
6 April 2009 at 12:54pm
Hi aram,
Quick correction. It worked.
The reason why it did not work in the first place is 'typo', I am very embarrassed, and sorry to waste anybody's time, especially aram.
I revisited image class and thinking it should work, the 'defineMethods' should pick up my custom function, and then I noticed my misspelling, it is shown in my previous post, 'genertate'.
It is always at the back of my head, it should work, I had followed everything in the documentation, somehow I fear it would be something silly, and indeed, it was one of these days. Sorry guys. ^_^

Cleaning out the notebook
Sorry guys, been a while since I posted. You know how it is in the peanut butter(and currently cashew) world. Just wanted to update everyone on what's been going on.
We have a few new retail locations to add to the Reginald's world.
1. Libbie Market: A staple in Richmond, Va. Former Joe's Market they continue to carry on great service and wonderful products. They are the first location to carry all Original 8 flavors.
2. Cooper Vineyards: A great Vineyard and Winery located in Louisa, Va. It's located between Richmond and C-Ville. The have an awesome selections of wines and carry some of Reginald's more decadent flavors.
3. Omni Resort Bedford Springs: Stop on the way to Pittsburgh. Check it out. Great spot, great golf, very relaxing and Reginald's rocking in the Gourmet Shop.
4. Mrs. Bryants: Taking a trip to Williamsburg. Stop in to Mrs. Bryants Specialty and pick up a few jars. They do a great job of promoting local Virginia goods.
Also just in the last few days Reginald's joined forces with Relay Foods. They have asked us to part of their Richmond and Charlottesville locations. Very exciting stuff. They are a great company that strives to promote local products. Please click on their website and find out all about them. It's truly the wave of the future and Reginald's is thrilled to be a part.
Besides all that great news our 2 new flavors Bourbon Pecan Peanut Butter and Cinnamon Molasses Cashew Butter both made their maiden voyage a few Sundays ago at the Virginia Food and Wine Festival. Both flavors were a smashing success as was the festival. We met a ton of new people and picked up a bunch of new fans. Thanks to everyone who came out!! Back to the new flavors. Both are now available to order on the website and will be available at every event we do.
Finally we have been working very hard to make our shipping rates more affordable. The end is in sight. We have found a solution and shortly it will be implemented on the website. As soon as we do you all will be the first to know. Look forward to getting Reginald's to every state in the country then beyond. Again thanks to everyone for the amazing support, the best is yet to come.
The Virginia Food & Wine Festival Is This Weekend!
This Sunday, July 24, Save Our Food is presenting the Virginia Food & Wine Festival at the Farm Bureau Center at The Meadow Event Park in Doswell, VA. The event runs from noon to 5:00pm and entry is only $10 per car and 1/2 price for Virginia Farm Bureau members.
$10 too much? Our understanding is that if you click here to download and print this flyer, you will get you $5 off your admission price if you bring it with you!
Last year, over 5,000 attended the Virginia Food & Wine Festival, and we're sure this year will be even better. With hundreds of local foods and wines to sample, some of the area's hottest barbecue teams competing for top prizes, live music and lots and lots of kids' activities, how could it not be!
And the festival will be held indoors, where it's nice and cool!
So beat the heat this Sunday and join us at the Virginia Food & Wine Festival. Reginald's will have Booth #3, just around the corner from the BBQ area. (Perfect!)

See you Sunday!
Broad Appétit!
Update: We've got our booth location! We'll be in booth 22, sandwiched between the good folks at Mica Hill Farm and one of the wine sales tables. What could go better with homemade gourmet peanut butter, right? Look for us near the Jefferson Street intersection across from the Metro Music Stage. A downloadable pdf of the full festival map can be found by clicking here. See you Sunday!
It's time for Broad Appétit again in Richmond, and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to participate! The Broad Appétit festival promotes the amazing food, art and music that make Richmond a great place to live and visit.
The festival will be held this Sunday, from 11:00am to 5:00pm on West Broad Street between the 100 and 300 blocks. If you can make it to the festival, we'd love it if you'd stop by our booth and say hello. We might even have a few treats for you to try… We'll update this post with our booth number as soon as we have it confirmed.

Farmers Markets Galore!
Last weekend was our first time out at the St. Stephen's Farmers Market, and it was a huge success. We actually sold out of all of our product well before the end of the day—guess we need to stock up for the rest of the season!
One of the highlights of last weekend was getting to meet a local foodie blogger who was nice enough to talk about our peanut butter on her blog. Spoiler alert: She really liked our stuff. Check it out! http://www.eatingbirdfood.com/2011/05/the-best-thing-since-pb/
In addition to St. Stephen's, last night we had a lot of fun at the Whole Foods Market Farmers Market. For those of you who don't know about that one, we'll be out there every other Thursday evening from 4-7pm. Stop on by and say hello if you're out in the west end.
Hopefully we won't get rained out at tomorrow's market, but if we do I'll just have more time to crank out the peanut butter for next week.
See you all soon!
