Understanding the Patient
Diabetes comes with both physical and emotional highs and lows and that they can be challenging to handle at times. If you are taking care of someone with diabetes, either as their parent, loved one, or a member of their support network, it's important to understand both the disease and the challenges it creates. Here's how to get started.
Communication is key. Whether it's a discussion about the food on the table or the blood sugar result on the meter, it's important that you and your loved one be able to communicate freely. Encourage them to share their feelings about their medical results or how they feel about their diabetes. Understanding why they may feel a certain way can lead to better managing their diabetes care.
Educate yourself. When it comes to managing diabetes, there are plenty of numbers and medical terms being bantered about. Bring yourself up to speed with the terminology. Consult our diabetes dictionary to become familiar with the lingo. Read books and visit websites that cater towards diabetes education.
Don't be afraid to ask questions. When your loved one talks about their diabetes, actively listen. Ask questions about their medical tests and what the results mean, if they are willing to share. You can also conduct your own diabetes research online and at the library to help "fill in the gaps."
Find out their preferences. Is your loved one private about their diabetes, or will they talk about it with anyone? How would they prefer that you handle their diabetes? Do they want you to ask about their blood sugar results, or are they more comfortable with managing their numbers themselves? Are they interested in starting an exercise regimen? You can help by working out with them. Food choices are also a big part of living with diabetes. Ask how you can help make meal planning easier. Keep your kitchen stocked with food choices that are diabetes-friendly. There are many facets to managing diabetes – be there every step of the way for them.
However, you don't always have to take their lead. Not every person with diabetes is taking steps to self-manage their condition. Sometimes they are in a "slump" or feeling a little bit of diabetes burnout. If you feel that the safety of your loved one may be compromised, talk to them. Let them know that you are there to support them and to help them maintain good health. Brainstorm with your loved one to find ways you can help make their diabetes management less of a burden.
Diabetes doesn't have to be something they have to manage alone. You can make all the difference in their diabetes life.

One of the "parents' business" items on our current trip to Virginia was a visit by a case nurse from an agency that is trying to get the Out-Laws additional personal and health assistance. While the old folk found her questions intrusive, they were reasonable follow-ons based on the OutLaws' current states of cognitive and physical health. One of the sets of questions was about their medications. A list of them was posted on the door to the den. The case nurse assumed...

KDF, should they get content?

I heard recently on STOKed Al Rivera discuss touching up old assets, and how the Cardassians and Jem'Hadar would get more polish in the DS9 series, and later revamping the Borg.
Around 23:30-ish
A lot of work has gone into adding playability to the KDF, through content (Featured Episodes, Foundry) ships, and some of the costume and ship options. But UFP still has twice as many playable races to choose from, and a ton more costumes and customization options for both captains and ships.
I'd like to see the KDF as a faction get a "re-master" of sorts, centered around a KDF-Exclusive Featured Episode. Maybe sometime after we see a Revamp to Qo'nos?
I really like the costume options made exclusive to the Nausicaans and Orions, and Can't wait to see more Gorn options! Next up, maybe add some exclusives for Letheans? But players would appreciate an update to the non-race exclusive costume options as well.
And the same goes for ships, the new ships are really out there but at the same time totally Klingon. I really appreciate the aesthetics and direction the team is taking ships in, I'd love to see what they come up with in the way of more Templates or bridges.

Building New Plants or Entering by Acquisition? Estimation of an Entry Model for the U.S. Cement Industry
AbstractIn many industries, firms usually have two choices when expanding into new markets: They can either build a new plant (greenfield entry) or they can acquire an existing incumbent. In the U.S. cement industry, the comparative advantage (e.g., TFP or size) of entrants versus incumbents and regulatory entry barriers are important factors that determine the means of expansion. Using a rich database of the U.S. Census of Manufactures (1963-2002), an entry game is proposed to model this decision and estimate the supply and demand primitives to determine the importance of these factors. Two policies that affect the entry behavior and industry equilibrium are considered: An asymmetric environmental policy that creates barriers to greenfield entry and a policy that creates barriers to entry by acquisition. In the counterfactual analysis it is found that a less favorable environment for acquisitions during the Reagan-Bush administration would decrease the acquired plants by 90% and increase greenfield entry by 21%. Also, the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 increased the number of acquisitions by 3.5%. Furthermore, my simulations suggest that regulations that create barriers to greenfield entry are less favorable in terms of welfare than regulations that create barriers to entry by acquisition. Finally, it is shown how the parameter estimates change with the traditional approach in the entry literature where entry by acquisition is not considered, and when using a simple OLS estimation.

Avast is showing up a trojan downloader on a full scan and the screen saver scan but not on a quick scan. The virus is in the windows error reporting, report queue folder. I can put it into the virus chest but it still shows up. If I disable windows error reporting Avast scans clean. Is this an actual virus or some false positive?

By helping your teenagers establish good credit, they can greatly improve their chances of obtaining:
1. A good-paying, rewarding job/career
2. A money-saving, door-opening credit rating
3. The lowest interest rates
4. Financial independence
Although teens need a basic understanding of personal finances, many parents don't help teens acquire the right skills and habits to become responsible and trustworthy consumers. These "skills" include establishing a good credit history by managing debt responsibly. Not letting teens have any debt may sound "brilliant," but how can they establish credit without it?
Young people will incur debt. In fact, a Sallie Mae study posits that college seniors, on average, had a credit-card debt of about $4,138; additionally, one out of five seniors had debt in excess of $7,000.
What about identity theft? Let your teens know more than 8 million people became identity theft victims in 2010, according to LifeLock.
Teens need to learn the following concepts:
RELATED Does Your Teen Need (or deserve) a Car?
While you can help them a little, it's up to them to establish good credit and protect their identity. Like teaching them to ride a bike, you should hang around only long enough to let them do their own "pedaling/steering." Here are some practical tips:
1. Insist that your teens start earning their own way; even a part-time job will do. In fact, the Credit Card Act of 2009 requires that banks confirm income before granting credit to anyone under 21, according to CreditCards.com.
2. Encourage your teens to get the right type of credit card. A secured credit card, for example, will not let them spend more than the amount deposited into a savings account; the same applies to a debit card tied to a checking account. When they're ready, let them apply for a low-credit-limit card. Or you can make them an "authorized user" on one of your own cards.
3. Sit down with your teen each month to candidly discuss financial matters; don't assume they know what you know.
RELATED 5 Things to do the Summer Before College
4. Help your child establish credit by using non-credit card options. A car loan and a payment-plan-based shopping service (such as Fingerhut Corporation offers) are only two of many examples.
5. Teach your teens how to improve a credit rating score, as well as ways you might hurt it (closing down accounts, not using accounts, paying late, etc.).
6. Don't make the mistake of giving teens too much credit too soon; in general, avoid co-signing situations, especially for big ticket items. Tell you teens to follow the same rule.
7. Tell your teens to be extremely stingy with their financial/personal information, especially online and when dealing with strangers.
It's up to you to make sure that teenagers get the training they will need to meet their financial responsibilities. By helping them establish good credit now, you will help them acquire the expensive things needed later, live in the safest neighborhoods, and qualify for their first choice jobs.

William Floyd
He Dared to Sign
Floyd also served as a member of the New York State Senate from 1777-1778 and from 1784-1788. In March 1789, Floyd was elected to the First United States Congress (1789-1791). He was a delegate to the New York State Constitutional Convention in 1801, and after moving to Westernville, New York in 1803, served again as a member of the New York State Senate in 1808.
William Floyd was an important plantation owner and leader during his time on Long Island. Today his home, the William Floyd Estate, is part of Fire Island National Seashore.
In 1777, William, Hannah, and family left Long Island during the British occupation. Hannah died in 1781. The rest of the family returned to Mastic in 1783. In 1784, William married Joanna Strong, and and they had two daughters together. This portrait was painted around 1792. Note that the house is prominently featured in the background.
In 1803, at age 69, Floyd left Long Island with his family to establish a new home in Westernville, New York. He built a large frame house in 1803-1804 and lived in it until his death in 1821. William Floyd left the Mastic property to his son Nicoll Floyd, II.

Crystal Palace caretaker manager Keith Millen is hopeful that the club can find a new boss soon after a 2-0 loss to West Brom on Saturday.
The defeat, which came after goals in either half from Saido Berahino and Gareth McAuley, is their seventh in a row, leaving them rooted to the bottom of the Premier League.
The fixture at The Hawthorns was Millen's second game in charge following Ian Holloway's departure and, after a 2-0 loss to Arsenal in his first, the stand-in coach is eager for the new boss to come in and turn things around.
The 47-year-old was, however, full of praise for Palace's players after a week once again filled with plenty of speculation.
"To be fair, the players have been great this week, it is not an easy situation with all the speculation around when the manager's going to come in, who it is, so the players have been focused," Millen said.
"I don't think you can accuse them of not concentrating on the job in hand but it's a tough time for everyone at the club really and the chairman's not going to rush into it.
"He needs to appoint the right person but I think the sooner the better someone does come in with new ideas, a fresh voice, hopefully a little bit of luck maybe that I don't think we are getting at the moment, and things can change.
"I spoke to the chairman on Friday, he's busy doing what he needs to do, and he said to me to continue this week with training ready for the Everton game (next weekend)."

私が小学生の頃教科書(社会かな?)には、箱根用水の話が必ず出ていたと思います。今はどうなのでしょう?さて、ここは箱根用水の水をひく入り口の水門のあるところです(南側の煉瓦造りのもの)。正面には海賊船や大湧く谷に行くロープウエイが見えます。深良(ふから)用水とも呼ばれる箱根用水は江戸時代にたびたびおこる水不足に悩まされた小田原藩が芦ノ湖の水を引くことを考えて江戸の商人に請け負わせて作られたということです。芦ノ湖外輪山に1280 mにおよぶトンネルを掘るという難工事を驚くべきことにたった4年で(1666-1670)行ったのです。またどうやってあの時代に両側からほって真ん中でちゃんと出会ったのでしょうか????水門自体は最近つくりなおしたもののようです。ともかくもこのあたりは車が入ってこられないのでとても静かな散策が楽しめます。
This is the sight seeing cruise ship of Lake Ashi, from Togendi to Hakone machi, Hakone. You can take...
Lake Ashi(Ashinoko) is a lake made by volcano eruption. There is a sight-seeing ship between Togendai...
The eight islands of Japan sprang into existence through Divine Intervention.
The first two gods who came into existence were Izanagi no Mikoto and Izanami no Mikoto, the Exalted Male and Exalted Female. It was their job to make the land for people to live on.
They went to the bridge between heaven and earth and, using a jewel-encrusted halberd, Izanagi and Izanami churned up the sea into a frothy foam. As salty drips of water fell from the tip of the halberd the first island was formed. Its name was Onogoro.
So far, so good. But when Izanagi and Izanami first met on their island, Izanami spoke to Isanagi without being spoken to first. Since she was the female, and this was improper, their first union created badly-formed offspring who were sent off into the sea in boats.
The next time they met, Izanagi was sure to speak first, ensuring the proper rules were followed, and this time they produced eight children, which became the islands of Japan.
I'm sure you did not fail to miss the significance of this myth for the establishment of Japanese formal society.
At present, Japan is the financial capital of Asia. It has the second largest economy in the world and the largest metropolitan area (Tokyo.)
Technically there are three thousand islands making up the Japanese archipelago. Izanagi and Izanami must have been busy little devils with their jewelled halberd...
Japan's culture is highly technical and organized. Everything sparkles and swooshes on silent, miniaturized mechanisms.
They're a world leader in robotics, and the Japanese have the longest life-expectancy on earth.

In the early days of Hollywood there were burlesque theaters that featured girls who were trying to make it in Hollywood that were just trying to earn money while waiting for their big break. This short film featuring Lameez Colbert does not show her naked, as back then that was something for the most part was never done, but it does show you how the strip clubs of later years came about. Lameez dances around and removes her clothing until she is down to just a tube top covering her breasts and a thong.

Updated May 9, 2013 - 4:59 pm
Ryan McDonough introduced, focused on Suns coaching search
Originally published: May 9, 2013 - 11:44 am
"My first order of business as the general manager is to find the best guy for that job," McDonough said. "Obviously, I'll be working closely with Robert (Sarver) and Lon (Babby) and the rest of our staff on that."
McDonough, who spent the last decade in several capacities in the Boston front office, including serving as assistant GM under Danny Ainge, says the process of finding the next coach began even before he landed the job in Phoenix.
"That was part of my interview with Robert and Lon -- we discussed potential coaching candidates and who we thought would be good fits," he said. "And we were in alignment on a lot of the names -- most of the names. So we have an initial list to go off of.
"We've received a good amount of interest from people all over the basketball world who want to be the coach of this storied franchise and they see a great opportunity here."
Alvin Gentry started the 2012-13 season as head coach but was fired after 41 games, paving the way for interim Lindsey Hunter to finish the season. The Suns limped to a 25-57 record -- the second-worst in team history.
There has been much speculation on Hunter's future with the organization, and McDonough confirmed that he's in the mix.
"We will meet with Lindsey," he said. "I don't know him very well, but I've heard good things about Lindsey's character, and his toughness and his work ethic. So Lindsey is a candidate. I know he's interviewed for jobs elsewhere, but he's a candidate for us as well and we're going to go into it with an open mind and consider all the top guys, and Lindsey is one of the top guys."
Hunter interviewed with the Detroit Pistons about their vacant coaching position last month after the team fired Lawrence Frank following a 29-53 campaign.

This Sunday afternoon, Feliciana Animal Welfare Society (FAWS) launches its first annual Running of the Dogs at BREC's Zachary Community Park. The event is part of the Zfest, otherwise known as Zachary Art & Music Festival.
The 5K course rambles through neighboring subdivisions across Highway 964. Both walkers and runners are invited to bring their furry, vaccinated, leashed friends to join in the festivities.
Proceeds benefit East Feliciana's only animal welfare nonprofit. The organization was founded by group of residents concerned about the overwhelming number of abandoned animals wandering the parish. Since 2008, the group has increased its volunteer corps from seven to 16 and adopted out 1,065 dogs. In addition, FAWS has spay/neutered 979 cats and adopted 207. Besides re-homing cats as pets, FAWS also offers feral and semi-tame, vaccinated, spayed/neutered felines as barn cats. To quell the overpopulation of unwanted animals, FAWS has partnered with Cat Haven, LSU School of Veterinary Medicine and Baton Rouge Spay Neuter to offer parish residents low-cost spay/neuter services.
"We've been able to accomplish a lot in five years," says FAWS co-founder and Vice President Suzanne Hobgood, who currently fosters 10 dogs. "It really does take over your life. It's something you can't not do. There's such a great need." FAWS hopes this event will raise funds and awareness and attract both new volunteers and adopters.
Online registration is available until 1 p.m. on March 23 for $20. Pre-registered runners' packet pick-up begins at 1 p.m. on March 24. Race day registration begins at 1 p.m. and costs $30. The race follows at 3 p.m.
For more information, email email@example.com or call 225.718.4537. Click here to register.
This week's Creature Feature
If you're looking for a new running buddy or a great canine or feline companion, FAWS has many adoptable animals including:
All these pets have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated and heartworm tested. Many other adoptable dogs, puppies, cats and kittens are available through Feliciana Animal Welfare Society, http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/faws.html

ISLANDIA, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 01/28/14 -- Empire Bancorp, Inc. (OTCQB: EMPK) ("Company"), the holding company for Empire National Bank, today announced its operating results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2013. Financial highlights include:
- Total loans of $294.5 million, a $50.8 million, or 20.8%, increase from December 31, 2012
- Total assets of $467.1 million, a $28.7 million, or 6.5%, increase from December 31, 2012
- Total deposits of $391 million, a 27.6 million, or 7.6%, increase from December 31, 2012
- Solid asset quality with a ratio of non-performing loans to total loans of 0.81%
- Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 of $361 thousand
- Net income for the year ended December 31, 2013 of $1.3 million
- "Well capitalized" regulatory capital levels, as of December 30, 2013:
- Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 9.01%
- Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 12.78%
- Total risk-based capital ratio of 14.03%
- Operating efficiency ratio at 84.31%
Douglas C. Manditch, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, reflected on the Company's results, "The results for 2013 set the baseline for our operating performance going forward. During 2013, our foremost priority became booking quality loans at acceptable yields. In meeting this goal, we devoted significant human and financial resources, strengthening our infrastructure in anticipation of our continued growth. As part of these efforts, we expanded our branch network into Nassau County. We also became fully taxable for the entire year of 2013, absorbing the tax impact while demonstrating sound financial performance. Our first five years of operation have been in tumultuous economic times; yet, we are establishing our franchise, maintaining impressive asset quality metrics, and building respectable profitability. We continue to tackle the enormous cost of regulatory compliance that increasingly diminishes the earnings of community banks."
Manditch continued, "During the fourth quarter, we sold select mortgage-backed securities in an effort to reposition our balance sheet mix for potential market adjustments while improving management of our interest rate risk. Excluding net gains and losses on sales of investment securities, our earnings before income taxes increased $1.2 million, or close to 100%, from 2012. Looking forward, our aim is to continue to position ourselves to increase shareholder value through growth in core earnings."
Thomas M. Buonaiuto, President and Chief Operating Officer noted, "During 2013, we absorbed additional operating overhead as we opened a branch along the attractive commercial corridor on Old Country Road in Mineola. Our business strategy of serving small to mid-market businesses, as well as professionals, is expected to serve this vibrant community well. With our other branches positioned in Islandia, Shirley and Port Jefferson Station, we anticipate continued growth in revenues. Asset quality remained strong with non-performing assets at 0.51% of total assets at year-end. We remain cognizant of both credit and interest rate risk, diligently managing our progress and expansion, while entering the next phase of our life cycle in 2014."
Earnings for the Fourth Quarter Ended December 31, 2013
Net income was $361 thousand, or $0.08 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to $376 thousand, or $0.09 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2012, representing a decrease of $15 thousand, or $0.01 per share. Earnings before income taxes increased $235 thousand, or 61.5%, to $617 thousand, as compared to $382 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2012. Income tax expense increased from $6 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2012 to $256 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2013, as the Company was fully taxable in 2013.
Net interest income for the fourth quarter increased $512 thousand, or 15.5%, over the fourth quarter of 2012, reflecting the impact of the growth in the Company's average loan and securities portfolio. Net interest margin was 3.36% for the fourth quarter of 2013, an increase of 13 basis points from the quarter ended December 31, 2012.
The Company recognized a net loss of $152 thousand during the fourth quarter of 2013 on sale of investment securities, as compared to a gain of $80 thousand during the fourth quarter of 2012. Excluding net gains and losses on sales of investment securities, noninterest income increased $115 thousand, or 74.7%, from the fourth quarter of 2012. Professional practice revenues represented $78 thousand of that increase. Other expenses increased $160 thousand, or 5.1%, due largely to costs associated with the bank's branch expansion into Nassau County with the opening of its Mineola branch office, enhancements made to its software services, and the commencement in 2013 of the payment of director fees based upon participation in board and committee meetings. The increase in other expenses during the quarter was partially offset by declines in advertising and business development costs, as well as FDIC insurance expense.
Earnings for the Year Ended December 31, 2013
Net income for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $1.3 million, compared to $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $2.3 million. This reduction in net income was largely attributable to the impact of sales of investment securities, as well as an increase in income tax expense for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 as the Company became fully taxable. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recognized a net loss of $149 thousand on sale of investment securities as the Company sold a portion of its mortgage-backed securities to better position the balance sheet for changing market conditions. Comparatively, for the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recognized net securities gains of $1.3 million on sales of investment securities. Also contributing to the reduction in net income was the reversal of the remaining tax valuation allowance in 2012, which resulted in a credit to earnings, offset by the income tax expense for the year. For the year ended December 31, 2012, this required reversal of the tax valuation allowance increased net income by approximately $2.2 million.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company's net interest income was approximately $14.4 million, an increase of $1.0 million, or 7.5%, which was attributable to the growth in average volume of loans, partially offset by decreased average loan yields. Market competition coupled with the rate environment fostered repricing of certain loans to maintain suitable credit risk and balance sheet quality. The Company's net interest margin was 3.29% for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to 3.48% for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Excluding net gains and losses on sales of investment securities, noninterest income increased $442 thousand, or 73.0%, for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to the prior fiscal year. Professional practice revenue, recognized for the first time in 2013, was approximately $322 thousand. Total other expenses increased by approximately $522 thousand, or 4.2%. The increase in other expenses resulted primarily from expenses associated with expansion into new markets and services. Salaries and benefits increased $332 thousand, or 5.5%, over the prior year as the bank staffed to meet these new demands. Costs relative to servicing the professional practice clients also increased in 2013. No provision for loan losses was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2013, as compared to $285 thousand for the same period of 2012. The Company's effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2013 was approximately 43.6%, which reflected its blended federal and state income tax rates.
Balance Sheet and Asset Quality
Total assets were $467.1 million at December 31, 2013, an increase of $28.7 million, or 6.5%, from December 31, 2012, which was primarily attributable to an increase in outstanding loan balances of $50.8 million, or 20.8%. Management remains confident in the credit quality of the Company's assets. The Company's ratio of non-performing loans to total loans decreased 28 basis points from December 31, 2012 to December 31, 2013.
Total deposits were $390.9 million at December 31, 2013, an increase of $27.6 million, or 7.6%. Demand deposits at December 31, 2013 totaled $177.3 million, as compared to $172.2 million at December 31, 2012, representing an increase of $5.1 million, or 3.0%.

Adjusted statements to reflect NPOV[edit]
I removed "violence-prone" from the description of Cowboy, because of the contrast with the description of Hank Spruill, who is not described as "violence-prone".
Yet Hank, like Cowboy, also killed someone.
Either both should be described as violence-prone, or other ways should be found to write about them.
I question the reference to Cowboy's nationality in this context as well. Why is it important to label Cowboy, but not Hank?
If it is important that Cowboy be seen as a violent "Mexican", Hank should by the same token be described as a violent "American" (or "Anglo").
Finally, I am not sure whether the description of Cowboy coincides with Grisham's intentions. Grisham does not shirk from ascribing violence to Cowboy, but still chooses to frame his story in terms of the affection between Cowboy and Tally Spruill, and of the opportunity to escape that Cowboy represents for her. This adds a softer dimension to Cowboy's character which is completely missing from Hank's. DocDee (talk) 21:50, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
