With underground storage exceeding 2.5 Tcf by August 15 and nearly 80 days remaining in the traditional injection season, an inventory of 3.5 Tcf or more to enter the winter appears very likely. A strong summer long injection season has been supported by cooler than normal temperatures, minimal supply disruptions due to hurricane activity and continued growth in domestic production.
When the 2014-15 winter begins, the nearly 4 Bcf per day of incremental production growth dating back to the beginning of the year will still be with us and will be a part of supply assets in place to meet winter heating season demand. Efficiency measures will still be putting downward pressure on average consumption per customer and in the local gas utility segment, more distribution pipeline will have been modernized creating a safer system. So many moving parts – and so many moving in the right direction.

What the John Brennan Hearing Didn't Tell You: Aircraft Carrier-Based Drones Could Expand Covert War Around Globe
Photo Credit: Shutterstock.com
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Between the nomination of John Brennan as CIA director and media outlets reporting the existence of a secret U.S. drone base in Saudi Arabia, the Obama administration's drone program received some of its most intensive public scrutiny over the past week. Kill lists and basing agreements dominated the public debate, but largely overlooked advances in drone technology may have a transformative effect on U.S. drone strike policy.
Reports of drone testing on aircraft carriers have rarely entered into the discussion of the U.S.' future drone policy. But foreign policy analysts tell AlterNet that the introduction of aircraft carrier-based drones is likely to result in a reduced dependence on basing agreements in the Middle East and North Africa and a growing reliance on drone aircraft for military missions. That could create new urgency to bring the program under a more cohesive legal framework.
Aircraft carrier-based drones could remove challenges to quickly deploying armed drones in hotspots around the world. At the same time, efforts to establish greater legal oversight over the drone program have made little progress.
Carrier-based deployments are likely to further lower the political and military costs of drone strikes just as Congress and the national press are beginning to more fully debate the role of drones in the Obama administration's counterterrorism policy. Critics argue that the program is too secretive and endangers the long-term strategic interests of the United States.
This past November, the Navy's X-47B drone aircraft began onboard tests on the nuclear-powered USS Harry S. Truman. The first at-sea takeoff is expected to occur sometime this year.
"A carrier-based [Unmanned Combat Air System] with an unrefueled combat radius of 1,500 nautical miles or more and unconstrained by pilot physiology offers a significant boost in carrier combat capability. […] With multiple aerial refuelings, a UCAS could establish persistent surveillance-strike combat air patrols at ranges well beyond 3,000 nm, and could strike fixed targets at even longer ranges," wrote the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments in a 2008 study.
Such capability could remove the difficulties involved in establishing clandestine drone bases, such as the recently reported facility in Saudi Arabia, or in accepting restrictive basing agreements.
Niger's ambassador to the U.S. told CNN last week that U.S. drones will be based in his country but will only carry out surveillance missions. The agreement expands the U.S. drone presence near Mali, where French and Malian forces have been battling rebels, but provides yet another example of how U.S. allies are slow to publicly accept basing agreements for armed drones.
Paul Pillar, a retired CIA officer and nonresident senior fellow at Georgetown University's Center for Security Studies, told AlterNet that "lessening the dependence on bases on foreign soil is a significant implication."
"One argument I've heard is that if we're doing counterterrorism [in Afghanistan] the drones need bases and you need people to guard the bases. So if you could operate drones off of carriers […] it reduces the presence needed after 2014, assuming we're only doing counterterrorism."
Robert Naiman, policy director at Just Foreign Policy, observed that the offshoring of drones could allow the U.S. to conduct its drone program in Pakistan with greater independence from Washington's tumultuous relationship with Hamid Karzai's government in Kabul.
"If you look at Afghanistan and Pakistan, the U.S. is conducting drone strikes in Pakistan from bases in Afghanistan. Obviously the U.S.' ability to do that is dependent on the U.S. relationship with Afghanistan and Pakistan," said Naiman. "Most people believe that if the U.S. withdraws from Afghanistan its ability to use Afghanistan as a base for drone strikes in Pakistan will be severely curtailed."

Aaliyah Brown, of Lincoln-Way East. | Brett Roseman~Sun-Times Media
high school
Updated: June 21, 2013 6:19AM
The multiple state champion will attend Texas A&M in the fall on a track scholarship. She credits her father and coach, Angelo, for much of her success on the track.
Favorite sports team?
The Bulls. I was watching the playoffs. I've been so busy with track so I can't really watch TV.
Favorite music?
R&B and rap. Usually R&B, because I like the messages that R&B has. Rap is just like beats.
Favorite thing to eat in the school cafeteria?
Right now it's the chicken fajita wraps with some ranch (dressing) on it. It's so good. It used to be the fries with some ranch, but I can't eat the fries any more.
Favorite pigout food?
I can eat chicken any time, with a nice side of hot sauce.
Who would be your celebrity prom date?
Tyrese Gibson. He's an actor. He has it all, he has it all.
What will you remember most about high school?
I'd say track, all the accomplishments. I feel like we've grown a lot as a team at Lincoln-Way East, all the different runners.
Who's the one person you'd like to have a conversation with?
My mom, she passed away in 2008. To hear how she's proud of me and all the stuff I've been doing. Just talk about what I could be doing now and then talk about what I'm trying to do in the future.
What are your goals for the future?
My goal is to go to the Olympics — and not just go to the Olympics and say that I went there. I want to win. I want to be a gold medalist in the Olympics. I'm shooting for the Olympics in 2016. That's my goal.
As told to Tim Tierney

Gore: 2/5
Creepiness: 0/5
Entertainment: 1/5
Nightmares: 0/5
T and A: 4/5
File this under shit sandwich with a side of filthy rotten pickles. Murder Set Pieces opens up with interesting footage shot of the 9/11 terrorist attacks (why this was chosen to open up this shitfest is beyond me). A young female voice then croons, 'Just you wait a little while, the nasty man in black will come. With his little chopper, he will chop you up.' Interesting way to start the film for sure and it definitely peaked my interest (aside from the claim on the good ol' video box of it being one of the most 'disturbing' films released in the last 10 years). The only thing disturbing about this flick is how fucking retarded and insulting it is to the slasher genre. This movie irritated me on so many levels its not even funny.
This pile of steamy shit involves a German fashion photographer who, for reasons unknown and not explained in these crap frames committed to film, has a penchant for killing his female subjects. Photograph nude ladies, hack them up after making sweet intercourse (I just watched Borat, sue me), rinse and repeat. That's the basis for this movie. And what starts off as being perceived to be the worst German accent you've ever heard, becomes even funnier when you find out (through a little research on the interwebs) that the lead actor is actually from Germany. Either its the shitty writing that lends itself to the over pronunciation of this fine accent, a really bad director, or both. I'm going with both. To top it all off, there is a reasonable amount of blood (always good) but the most poorly shot scenes that I have ever witnessed when it comes to slasher films. There are a lot of scenes that imply the gory details of bodily desecration but never show the mess as it ensues. Poorly shot camera angles plus jerky movement, minus zooming in on the bloody goodness equals the final ingredient in this shit stew. Even the T and A was awkwardly shot for fuck sakes. Yes, the fundamental centerpiece of every slasher film is the inclusion of some good ol' boobies. What was set up as this guy being touted as a 'serious' fashion photographer immediately illicited side splitting laughs from this reviewer when we catch a glimpse of his first photo shoot. The way that these overly siliconed, bending over like a porn shoot, women were being photgraphed was anything but fashionable. On second thought, these were probably the best scenes shot in the movie as they are fucking hysterical.
I hate sounding like a 3rd grader that just discovered cuss words but this movie is really fucking terrible. I can take a bad horror movie when it is obviously intended to be bad but I become thoroughly irritated when, for all intensive purposes, it presents itself as being serious when in fact it should not have been. Avoid this at all costs.

One of those, ''This Is the Night,'' wasn't exactly music to the Idol judges' ears -- when Aiken first performed the song, Cowell dismissed it as ''American Idol: The Musical.'' ''I think they probably thought it sounded a little cheesy,'' Aiken says now. ''Not as cheesy, I might say, as [Kelly Clarkson's] 'A Moment Like This.' I don't care what they say -- I like the song.'' His fans did too: ''I don't think they went out and bought one,'' says Aiken, offering an explanation for his record-breaking sales. ''I think they went out and bought 15. I don't know what they did with them -- used them as coasters, Frisbees, something.''
Cowell, of course, has a different theory. ''If Ruben had had 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' on his record, he'd have had the No. 1,'' says the judge, who often saved his highest praise on the show for Studdard. ''I think that was the hit song. If you asked 100 record buyers who bought Clay's single 'What song did you want to buy?' I wouldn't be surprised if 70 percent at least said 'Bridge Over Troubled Water.' People will disagree, but that's my opinion.'' (We'll never know; RCA doesn't track those statistics.)
Whatever the case, Aiken would like to put the Clay versus Ruben showdown to rest. ''The whole country wants Ruben and me to be at each other's throats,'' he says, tugging at the bottom of his orange shirt. ''We spent nine months competing with each other. And we both got what we wanted. He's got a title, and I'm nothing but proud of him. We don't look at who's No. 1 and No. 2. Because it's not worth it to us.'' (Studdard puts it more succinctly: ''Clay is my dawg.'') Even after the disaster that was From Justin to Kelly, which made just $4.9 million at the box office this summer, Aiken still hopes to make a movie with his supposed nemesis. ''That was a premise that's not necessarily original,'' he says of the first Idol-inspired film. ''With Ruben and me you've got a completely different thing. Look at us! We could just stand there and people would laugh.''
At least they're no longer laughing at Aiken's looks. The budding star, whose formerly reddish brown eyebrows will completely disappear if they're lightened one more time, says he's totally receptive to all the fashion help. ''We were doing the video shoot for 'This Is the Night,' and the people from the record label were putting me in all these different outfits,'' he remembers. ''I just stood there and was like, 'That's fine, that's fine' -- all indifferent to the situation. They finally called my management rep and said, 'Is he okay with these?' If I knew enough about this industry, or enough about fashion, to know what was cool to wear, then I wouldn't have needed American Idol to get into it. So I'll be willing to do whatever you want me to do, but I'm going to say no if I'm really against it. There's not really much middle ground. I'll do it, or I'll say, 'That's ridiculous.' I pick my battles.''
For instance? ''There was a particular person who did my hair on the show,'' he says. ''For a period [afterward] they said, 'Let's use some other people.' And I looked like a greased pig. It was horrible. So I finally picked a battle there and said, 'Listen, we're getting him from now on.''' Aiken also gladly recorded cover versions of Neil Sedaka's ''Solitaire'' and Carole Bayer Sager's ''When I Need You'' but scoffed at Rick Astley's ''Never Gonna Give You Up.'' ''I said that's just a little corny, because there are already enough comparisons that can be drawn.'' (Whaddya know? We've drawn them too; see sidebar.)

The NBAA is encouraging anyone who flies internationally and uses the services of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to attend a roundtable discussion at Kendall-Tamiami Airport (TMB) in Miami on September 13. The wide-ranging discussion, which will be hosted by the NBAA, AOPA, and NATA, will cover topics of vital interest to the general aviation community, including CBP's requirements on notice of arrival procedures, GA processing and the operational differences between CBP installations at different airports around the country.
"CBP is going to talk about a number of topics at this meeting, and they want to hear back from users," said NBAA Vice President for Safety, Security, Operations & Regulation Doug Carr. "This is a very unique and rare opportunity to foster a constructive dialogue about CBP policies and procedures at both the national and local levels."
The roundtable discussion is free. There is no need to register, but participants must attend in person, because there will be no facilities for phone or email questions during the event.
The meeting will be held at the west hangar at Landmark Aviation, Kendall-Tamiami Airport (TMB). Among the CBP officials expected to attend are Eric Rodriguez, Program Manager, General Aviation; Ralph Modisette, National APIS Account Manager – General Aviation; ad Corrie Corbetis, National APIS Account Manager – Compliance and Enforcement.
Topics on the agenda at the roundtable include:
"Over the past several years, NBAA has worked in partnership with CBP to effectively address a number of general aviation issues, and we are looking forward to hearing about future efforts and opportunities to streamline CBP policies related to general aviation," Carr said.

JACKSON, Tenn. (AP) -- The Tennessee State Board of Education has withdrawn its approval of Lane College's teacher licensure program.
The Jackson Sun reported Monday that the board made its decision during a meeting held Friday after determining that the program did not meet criteria in the areas of teacher candidates' knowledge and skill levels.
Lane College Vice President for Academic Affairs Deborah Buchanan said the decision gives the five students who remain in the college's professional teacher licensure program six months to complete the program.
Those students who don't complete the program will need to transfer to another college to finish their degrees in order to be licensed.
Buchanan said college officials were disappointed with the board's decision and responded appropriately to the claims of the board.

Chicago is the epicenter of ecommerce right now with the Internet Retailer Conference (IRCE 2010) in full force. VeriSign is adding to the buzz too. We just announced a new partnership with Cart32.
Cart 32 now offers the VeriSign Trust Seal to the thousands of merchants who use their comprehensive e-commerce solution. So now online retailers can go to one place for shopping cart software, store management tools, merchant services and now the trust-building solutions from VeriSign.
This partnership is special for online stores that outsource their shopping cart or merchant services. For the first time, these merchants can show the VeriSign seal before their customers start the transaction. That is important because consumers want to feel a site is trustworthy before they click from a search engine or immediately when they land on the site. Too many merchants are losing customers before they even get all the way to the purchase.
We are talking to a lot of online retailers here at Internet Retailer that face this challenge. It is exciting that VeriSign now offers a solution as a one-stop shop through Cart32.
For more information, read the press release here or visit Cart32. Make sure to check out the VeriSign Trust Seal video too... very cool.

Chinese Astrology: More than 12 Animals
Chinese Astrology: More than the Twelve Animals
The Five Elements
The traditional Five Elements of nature are used in various ways in China,
including medicine, astrology, and feng shui. The elements are Water, Wood,
Fire, Earth, and Metal.
Wood produces Fire, Fire produces Earth, Earth produces Metal, Metal produces liquid (Water), and Water produces Wood.
Water destroys Fire, Fire destroys Metal, Metal destroys Wood, Wood Destroys Earth, and Earth destroys Water.
Wood exhausts Water, Water exhausts Metal, Metal exhausts Earth, Earth exhausts Fire, and Fire exhausts Wood.
What element are you?
The year of birth in which you were born corresponds to one of the five elements. An easy way for determining your element is to consider the last numeral in your year of birth and find your element below:
0 or 1: Metal
So for example if you were born in 1977, your element is Fire; if you were
born in 1950, your element is Metal, and so forth.
2009 is called the year of the Earth Ox, and began on January 26, 2009, and ends on February 13, 2010.
2010 is called the year of the Metal Tiger, and begins on February 14, 2010, and ends on February 2, 2011.
2011 is called the year of the Metal Rabbit, and begins on February 3, 2011, and ends on February 3, 2012.
2012 is called the year of the Water Dragon, and begins on January 23, 2012, and ends on January 27, 2013.
2013 is the year of the Water Snake, 2014 is the year of the Horse, 2015 is
the year of the Goat, 2016 is the year of the Monkey, 2017 is the year of the
Rooster, 2018 is the year of the Dog, 2019 is the year of the Pig, and 2020 is
the year of the Rat.

What's New
If you plan to provide a casino or slot machine facility with equipment or services that are directly related to the playing of a lottery scheme or the operation of a gaming site, you must be registered by the AGCO before you can do business with the gaming site.
On June 1, 2012, changes to the regulations under the Gaming Control Act, 1992 (GCA) came into force as part of the Ontario government's initiative to modernize gaming and enhance flexibility for gaming operations in the province.
Among the changes, a streamlined registration scheme has been introduced which both reduces the number of registration categories from 24 to seven and allows individuals and businesses to supply goods and services across all gaming sectors without having to obtain separate registrations.
A new category of registration has been created under the new regulation for operators of gaming sites.
As of June 1, 2012, anyone who is registered as a "Gaming-Related Supplier" and who operates a casino or slot machine facility will be automatically deemed to be registered under the new "Operator" category. No action is required on the part of the registrant. New certificates will be issued as registrations are renewed.
If you are a "Gaming-Related Supplier" other than an "Operator" and wish to renew your registration, please complete the forms below as a "Gaming-Related Supplier" and submit them and all other required documentation and fees as directed on the application forms and guide.
If you operate a casino or slot machine facility and wish to renew your registration, please complete the forms below as an "Operator" and submit them and all other required documentation and fees as directed on the application forms and guide.
For more information on the changes to the GCA, please see Information Bulletin No. 69 - under the Gaming Control Act, 1992.
If you wish to work out of your residence, prior written approval must be obtained from the Registrar of Alcohol and Gaming. Your request for approval must be accompanied by a detailed floor plan of your residence indicating the location of the office and the storage of equipment and supplies.
The AGCO employs a risk-based approach to the processing of applications for gaming registrations. For more information about risk-based registration, please see Information Bulletin No. 68 - AGCO Implements Risk-based Registration to Process Gaming Registrations.
For information regarding, change of name, address, ownership structure, renewals and other related information, please visit our

"I use sound to up the personal level," he says. "Where the materials are not doing enough, you need the sound to just talk to you a bit." His sculptures are a joyous celebration of Sixties modernism. Psychedelic Perspex cubes entwined in silver metal strips lie beside a large, transparent stone with fluorescent tubes flowing through the center.
Irish-born Rothschild takes a more spiritual approach. "I'm interested in un-systems of belief, nonsystems, how people move their 'spiritual' desire between different objects and traditions," she said. "That's where sculpture comes in, making something that seems to have something extra to what is physically there." An oversized dream catcher hangs from the ceiling, skimming the floor. Woven balls in pink, green, purple and black hang from it, sprouting colorful mops of woven leather. A display of joss sticks, entitled "Disappearer," bursts from a wall, filling the room with incense.
Afrassiabi's work takes the form of seemingly unfinished sculptures: A simple display of wooden tables and shelves with an assortment of paint and gloss jars on them, while Barclay uses materials such as wood, clay and plastic. One of her key pieces is an arrangement of black plastic rocks — like a miniature Stonehenge — with a large gold cymbal hanging above it like a hangman's noose.
Lambie's work, however, is more grounded. In one, the floor is covered with a silver, black and gold pattern of stripes made from vinyl tape, resulting in a jazzy and beautiful vision.

Central Asian drought has had drastic impacts on vast regions over recent years. Longer records and insight into temporal drought patterns could aid greatly in anticipating extreme events and agrarian planning. Mongolia is representative of the central Asian region, and tree-ring resources are used herein to extend the climate record and test for solar influence and/or Pacific Ocean teleconnections. Absolutely dated tree-ring-width chronologies from five sampling sites in west-central Mongolia were used in precipitation models and an individual model was made using the longest of the five tree-ring records (1340-2002). The tree-ring sites are in or near the Selenge River basin, the largest river in Mongolia and a major input into Lake Baikal in Siberia. Regression models resulted in a reconstruction of streamflow that extends from 1637 to 1997 and explains 49% of the flow variation. Spectral analysis indicated significant variation in the frequencies common to Pacific Ocean variations [Pacific decadal oscillation (PDO) and ENSO] and also some quasi-solar and lunar-nodal periodicities similar to previous Mongolian hydrometeorological reconstructions in eastern Mongolia based on tree rings.

Severe Lows Occur Often in People With Type 2
Diane Fennell
August 2, 2013
It is often assumed that people with poorly controlled Type 2 diabetes are not at risk for severe hypoglycemia (low blood glucose), given that their blood glucose levels tend to be high, on average. But according to new research conducted by Kaiser Permanente and the Yale School of Medicine, those who take certain types of diabetes medicines are at risk of dangerous lows whether or not their condition is well controlled.
Hypoglycemia, which may cause symptoms such as shakiness, dizziness, confusion, and sweating, can usually be treated by consuming a fast-acting carbohydrate such as glucose gel or juice. In cases of severe hypoglycemia, however, blood glucose levels drop so low that a person needs assistance to recover, and in extreme cases, hypoglycemia can lead to coma or even death. Medicines including insulin, sulfonylureas (chlorpropamide, glyburide, glipizide, glimepiride, tolbutamide, tolazamide), and meglitinides (nateglinide, repaglinide) all have the potential to cause hypoglycemia.
To determine the association between A1C level (an indicator of glucose control over the previous 2–3 months) and a person's risk of severe hypoglycemia, researchers surveyed over 9,000 people with Type 2 diabetes who were being treated with glucose-lowering medicines. Participants were placed into one of five A1C categories, ranging from lowest to highest, and asked how many times they had experienced severe hypoglycemia requiring assistance in the previous year.
The researchers found that almost 11% of the respondents had experienced severe hypoglycemia in the previous 12 months and that it had occurred across the entire spectrum of diabetes control. People with the lowest and the highest A1C levels tended to have a higher risk for severe hypoglycemia compared to people with A1C levels in the middle range, but the differences were small and hypoglycemia was common across all five groups. "Poor control is certainly not protective," the researchers noted.
According to senior study author Andrew Karter, PhD, "Many clinicians may assume that hypoglycemia is not much of a problem in poorly controlled Type 2 diabetes given their high average blood sugar levels. This study suggests that we should pay much closer attention to hypoglycemia, even in poorly controlled patients. Providers should explain the symptoms of hypoglycemia, how to treat it, and how to avoid it — for example, by not skipping meals. Most of all, providers should ask all their diabetic patients whether they've experienced hypoglycemia, even those patients with very high average levels of blood sugar."
The researchers also recommended that evaluations of the quality of diabetes care take into account side effects such as hypoglycemia that are associated with treatment. "While aggressive treatment of high blood sugar was once considered a hallmark of better care, recent clinical trials have raised concerns about the risks of tight control, particularly in the frail and elderly," Karter stated.
For more information, read the article "Severe Low Blood Sugar Occurs Often in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes" or see the study's abstract in the journal Diabetes Care. And to learn more cutting down on low blood glucose, read the article "Take a Bite Out of Hypoglycemia," by certified diabetes educator Gary Scheiner.
excellent compelling work and outcomes. maybe now the green eyeshade nuts of medicare and insurance industry can be shut down over this idiotic one stip a day or less testing. We live in hope!

Thank you! Very timely article. I was the victim of an overly zealous doctor. I was a newly diagnosed diabetic with 11.7 A1c. I received insulin, then I was started on metformin which was doubled within a few days. Then she added glipizide. That's when I started getting 64's and less and waking up shaking, ravenous, confused, and scared. I did have glucose tablets which addressed the problem. My A1c dropped to 6.8 in less than 2 months. She still was not pleased...wanted to double the glipizide even when my A1c dropped further to 6.1-6.2!!! She really did not care how I was feeling. She was treating to the "lab numbers". Meanwhile, I was wondering why I was watching what I ate, taking the prescribed meds, exercising, and still ended up having to take the glucose tabs as well. Something was wrong with this picture!!! So, I decided there had to be a better way!!! I started researching all the diabetes treatments available and finally found an approach that worked for me. I now eat low carb, lean protein, little wheat and use stevia, berberine, and other targeted supplements, plenty of water, vegetables, berries, mixed unsalted nuts, no fat plain yogurt, and about 1 ounce of dark chocolate and moderate exercise such as walking. No more meds, no more glucose tabs! My A1c has been in the5.8-5.9 range for the past 7 months and my fasting sugars 84-104. Every diabetic is different, but we need to learn to take charge of our own lives. As the article points out...the "evaluation of quality of diabetes care take into account side effects such as hypoglycemia that are associated with treatment". When I was first diagnosed, I accepted my doctor's treatment without question because I was so scared that I had diabetes. That's why I am glad to see that the "pendalum" is swinging back to a more reasonable approach...away from aggressive treatment. Hopefully this trend will help other diabetics find what works for them and have the backing and support of their doctors!!!

I've been type 2 for 20 years and only experienced a severe low once, while attending an intensive sports training camp (if you've seen WWE Tough Enough, this is the kind of thing I'm talking about.) Otherwise no amount of medication or even fasting has ever put me below 89.

I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2008. I used insulin pens, glyburide, and metformin. I had been tested for hypoglycemia four times before that diagnosis, and each came back with the conclusion I was a borderline case as hypoglycemic. I had several episodes of hypoglycemia before the diabetes diagnosis, and continue to have problems. Two years ago, I had the Rou-en / Y gastric bypass. My diabetes symptoms (A1C) virtually disappeared three months after the surgery. My weight went from 315 to 214. I get hypoglycemic on average 3-4 times each week. I use glucose tabs and sherbert to address these episodes. My glucometer has shown readings like 52, 58, 61 before I treat it. It happens if I skip a meal, exercise, and sometimes even when I sleep. I really dislike waking with these symptoms, as I find it necessary to concentrate on staying awake to address the issue. My doctor says I should probably eat less per meal, but maybe 5 times a day. I take no meds for diabetes now, but my doc cautions me to be vigilant for any other effects of diabetes (foot wounds - ect)
Posted by: Archie | Aug 08, 2013 02:39 AM
The results of this research are not surprising -- looking at your A1C as the #1 indicator of your overall control of blood sugar. Remember this is only an 'average'. You can get some really high and very low readings and still look good on paper. The real #1 control is knowing (through experience) what your lows and highs will be depending on what you're eating and doing, etc. Of course the only way of doing this is by using your Meter at lot until you understand what you're doing wrong (for you). I aim for very tight control (I use insulin) and yes I am surprised at times... but you learn real fast what is off limits and mistakes become smaller by numbers. A high carb diet never works! It is pretty much impossible for your doctor to give you a magic formula. He/she doesn't live at your house... but I'm sure most believe you are headed for a bad place. The biggest setback is the cost of test strips. They don't need to cost what they do -- diabetes is big business :( Good control does mean lots of tests, but so worth it in the long haul.
Posted by: JohnC | Aug 08, 2013 12:43 PM
Mary G, I had a doctor that was the same way. He had taking three(3) different meds and my feet started to hurt. I could not live that way and figured out which one(diabeta) and we quit taking that one. That was around 2007. Being an over the road driver I have to pay close attention to what my body is telling me at all times. When I was first diagnosed I weighed in around 250 lbs. After having a heart attack(212lbs) in February and heart bypass in April I now weigh 183 pounds. I have to do a stress test Monday so I can complete my physical to drive again. Wish me luck!!
Posted by: Chopsticks | Aug 10, 2013 06:28 PM
Hi Chopsticks... Hope you survived your stress test and are on the road again! It's a tough having diabetes, but as we live and learn it does get a little easier or at least more familiar. Congratulations on your weight loss! 67 lbs!!! That was no small matter. Remember to be good to yourself and do some fun things...diabetes is not your WHOLE LIFE!!! Mary G.

Jan. 24, 2011 Baby Doc wants millions frozen in Bank Accounts which is his true motive for risking charges from the Haiti government- he's in it for the money. It is actually comical that this man would have the gall to come back to a country he plundered and looted and say dear Diary: Can I haz my stolen monies back?' Just how often can you have a kick at the cat and be believably saved by your own sins?
Apparently Baby Doc Duvalier- returned to Haiti after 25 years of exile to extract millions of dollars in a frozen bank account from when he was thrown out of the country as one of its brutal dictators in history. Baby Doc says that he wants to help the "poor Haitians from their plight with the money" however we hardly believe him today.
The statement read by one of his lawyers is that " he is very interested in trying to get these funds freed up, not for himself but so they can be used to help the situation in Haiti" read by Mr. Bob Barr.
Baby Doc Duvalier apologized for all the brutality of the past especially from 1986 when he lived high on the hog with donations of aid that pour into Haiti each year from the world communities. The money was hidden in a Swiss bank account where anonymous account names means you can hide your thefts very well. Duvalier paid a crowd of poor young people to attend a rally at a villa -they were each paid .25 cents American to cheer at him.
The Haitian government knows full well this dictator made off and stole millions of dollars which is plain to see from his Swiss Bank account and thus far have not charged him with any crimes such as embezzlement when he was the countries corrupted President.
The Swiss government reported there was 7.3 million dollars of stolen money in Switzerland a country visited by many former Presidents of Haiti who engaged in the same criminal behavior which was to run the country by stealing aid money from other countries.
The present government is no better than Duvalier and perhaps are striking a deal for themselves to get part of the seven million dollars frozen in the Swiss account. Since the earthquake almost 2 years ago there is no accounting for where the billions of dollars of aid ended up, certainly it was not given to the people of Haiti.
Human rights organization such as Amnesty International are not giving up in punishing Duvalier for his crimes of the past and 25 years is not giving him carte blanche to continue his corruption. There is nothing stopping the dictator from extracting the money and going back to Paris to live a long, luxurious lifestyle as he has for the past twenty five years.
It is clear that Haitians are about to be robbed again by Baby Doc Duvalier and still he walks freely in Haiti with no justice for his previous criminal acts. The President of the United States has not entered into any discussions with the Haitian government for many reasons beyond the corruption. The next man to re-appear is Jean- Bertrand Aristide the last guy who was run out of the country and who equally robbed Haiti then fled to enjoy his spoils while Haitians starve to death.

QUESTION: Bob, I would like to know what causes the bumpy area on the bases of a buck's antlers. Isn't that known as the burr of the antler?
It reminds me of the base of a tree. What causes that gnarly texture, and what determines how far up it grows on the antlers? - Garlan W.
ANSWER: If there were a prize for the most challenging question I've ever received, you'd be the winner!
I must admit I didn't know the answer, so I did some research and found absolutely nothing on this specific topic.
This much we do know: The very base of the antler, immediately above the point of attachment (the pedicel) is called the burr.
Just above this you will find varying amounts of texture referred to as perlation.
Antler growth is triggered by photoperiodism (change in length-of-day). Through a series of physiological changes, testosterone levels rise, stimulating the growth. The initial growth of antlers begins as cartilage. Through a process called ossification, minerals replace the cartilage. The minerals are carried in microscopic form through the circulatory system into the growing antlers, which later becomes bone.
This process begins at the base and progresses outward and upward in the form of tines. So while the tips are still growing, the base is becoming increasingly more mineralized.
As to what actually causes perlation, the best answer I can offer is some knowledgeable speculation.
Toward the end of summer, antler growth slows, and the living, growing tissue begins to break down. This includes the circulatory system that carries minerals to the antler tips.
As this system is compromised, it's possible that excess minerals are shunted, and begin building up at the bases.
At this point it's worth noting, perlation is more common in older deer. Once a buck reaches maturity at age four, its skeleton stops growing. This means relatively more minerals are available for antler growth, which could partially explain the increased texture.
I'd also be curious to see if there's any correlation between the degree of perlation and the amount of minerals in a deer's diet.
It's also worth noting that the beads or perlations are usually little more than tiny, rounded nubs, but sometimes grow larger, becoming sticker points around the bases.
An extreme example is a non-typical formation sometimes referred to as a "cactus" buck.
This leads me to further speculate that some perlations have the potential to become measurable points, given the right conditions.
If anyone has any further information on the subject, I'd love to hear from you. Meanwhile, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

I read the book after watching the first 3 seasons of the AMC show. Compared to the show, the settings are the same (Atlanta, the camp, etc), but the characters are a lot different so it changes the story completely... and not in a bad way.
If you love the show, you should totally read the books. It's also a great read for the summer or a busy schedule because it's easy to start and stop without feeling lost.
Horrible! Just horribly sexist and written. I couldn't get past the fact that Lori knew she couldn't get past the first year of college and simply dropped out. I would love to say the show and the novels are two different things. Sadly, the same vein of sexism holds true in the show.
Great series, love love love it!
Great series. Well written, and well illustrated. An imposing subject (apocolypse) is turned into a bigger nightmare with the addition of zombies. Society collapses...
The comment below about sexism is misplaced, and shows how little that person understands the real world.
A great zombie comic. After I finished reading it, I was afraid to walk in to another room in fear of finding a zombie there! ;D
I would like to read the next installment, but I think I'd be too scared. hehe.
Zombies! "Rich with complex characters and situations, full of gasp-inducing plot twists, it's no wonder AMC chose to make a TV series based on this graphic novel series."

Compaq Presario CQ5810 Desktop PC support
Wired Keyboard Troubleshooting (Windows 7)
This document applies to HP and Compaq desktop PCs with Microsoft Windows 7.
Use this information to troubleshoot common keyboard problems.
NOTE:If you do not see the symptom you are experiencing listed in this document and your keyboard is wireless, use the support document Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Troubleshooting .
Stuck key
If a key is physically stuck in the down position, you might not have to replace the keyboard. Most keys can be easily removed by inserting a butter knife under the key and prying up. After the key has been removed, using a swab with alcohol, clean the underside of the key and the key's slot in the keyboard. Replace the key by snapping it back into place.
Other tips to think about when encountering a stuck key:
- Turn off the computer before working on the keyboard.
- If the keyboard is still under warranty and the key is stuck, you might want to contact HP to see if the keyboard can be replaced before removing a key. If the key is stuck due to liquid or other substance getting into the keyboard, cleaning might be the only option.
- Longer keys such as the Space and Return probably have a small metal rod for support. This rod must be inserted into the key and keyboard before replacing the key into the keyboard.
- Keys on thin wireless keyboards, such as those used by HP TouchSmart IQ Series PCs can be more difficult to replace. Think about replacing the keyboard for these types of keyboards.
Pressing a key once types several characters
If two or more characters appear when pressing a key once, use the following steps to adjust the key repeat delay in Windows 7:
- The Keyboard Properties page opens.
- Set the Repeat delay slider to Long. Click Apply, and then click OK.
- If this problem continues, reinstall and update the keyboard software .
Computer beeps while typing
If the computer sometimes beeps while you are typing, Toggle keys or Sticky keys are active. The Toggle Keys can emit a beep when the Lock keys are pressed. The Sticky Keys function can emit a beep when the Ctrl, Alt, Shift, and Lock keys are pressed. Use the following steps to disable Toggle Keys in Windows 7:
- Scroll down the page and select Make the keyboard easier to use.Figure 5: Adjusting the keyboard settings
- If selected, remove the selection from Turn on Sticky Keys. Then click Set up Sticky keys.The Set up Sticky Keys page opens.
- Remove the selection from Turn on Sticky Keys when SHIFT is pressed five times.
- Click Apply, and then click OK to return to the Make the keyboard easier to use page.
- Remove the selection from Turn on Toggle Keys.If selected, remove the selection from Turn on Toggle Keys by holding down the NUM LOCK key for five seconds.
- Click Apply, click OK, and then close the Ease of Access Center.The beeps no longer sound.
Key presses are slow to respond
If there is a short delay from the time a key is pressed to the time the character displays on the screen, the Filter Keys function might be activated. The Filter Key function provides a greater range of key press options to fine tune key delays and prevent inadvertent key presses. To disable Filter Keys in Windows 7 and return to the default keyboard behavior, use the following steps:
- Scroll down the page and select Make the keyboard easier to use.
- Remove the selection from Turn on Filter Keys. Then click Set up Filter Keys.
- On the Set up Filter Keys page, remove the selection from Turn on Filter Keys when SHIFT is pressed for eight seconds.
- Click Apply, click OK, and then close the Ease of Access Center.The keys should be more responsive.
Wrong characters appear when typing, changing keyboard language, or Dvorak
If the wrong characters appear when you are typing, or you are trying to use a different keyboard, use the following steps to synchronize Windows 7 to the type of keyboard you are using:
- Click the Keyboards and Languages tab, and then click Change Keyboards.The Text Services and Input Languages page opens.
- Click Add.
- Select the keyboard you want to use, and click OK.
- From the Text Services and Input Languages page, select the new keyboard in the list and click Move up until it is first in the list. This makes it the default keyboard.
- Click OK. You can now use the new keyboard. If you find that the new keyboard works correctly and you do not want to use the other keyboard, repeat these steps and Remove the keyboard that you do not need from the General tab of the Text Services and Input Languages window.
Problems with extra buttons or volume control
The volume control and the keys for extra keyboard features such as Internet or e-mail are controlled by additional HP software (kbd.exe). If any of the following symptoms are present, reinstall and update the keyboard software
- A message displays stating that kbd.exe has stopped working.
- You have problems configuring the extra keyboard keys.
- The volume does not adjust when using the keyboard volume controls.
Keyboard does not work
Before troubleshooting the keyboard, find out what kind of wired keyboard you have by looking at the end of the keyboard cable and comparing it to the following images:
If the keyboard has stopped responding, press the Ctrl + Esc keys at the same time and note what happens:
- If the Windows Start menu opens, the keyboard is working and the software that you are using has stopped responding. Select the software program using the mouse pointer and press Alt + F4 at the same time to close the program that has stopped responding.
- If the Windows Start menu does not open, the keyboard or operating system has stopped responding. Use the steps that follow to check connections and synchronize the keyboard to the BIOS and Windows.
Reset the keyboard in Windows 7
- Shut down the computer (do not restart).
- With the computer fully off, disconnect all devices connected to the computer except for the monitor.
- For PS/2 keyboards, inspect the connector at the end of the keyboard cable. If you find pins that are bent, try to straighten the pins with the tip of a retracted ball-point pen. If pins are bent beyond repair or are broken, replace the keyboard. Make sure any broken pins are not lodged inside one of the holes in PS/2 connector on the computer. If so, the broken pin must be removed from the hole before another keyboard can be connected.
- Reconnect the keyboard. For USB keyboards, connect the keyboard into a USB connector on the back of the computer that was not previously used.
- With only the Keyboard and monitor connected, turn on the computer. Let Windows open to the Windows Desktop, press the Ctrl + Esc keys at the same time, and note what happens:
- If the Windows Start menu opens, the keyboard is now working. There was a connection problem. Use the arrow keys to shut down the computer. Reconnect your other devices, including the mouse.
- If the Windows Start menu does not open, the keyboard might be bad. Connect the keyboard to another computer to see if it is bad. Replace the keyboard if it does not work another computer. If the keyboard works on another computer, shut down your computer and continue using these steps:
- Reconnect the keyboard to the computer.
- Turn on the computer and immediately begin pressing the F8 key repeatedly until an Advanced Boot Options screen displays.
- Select Safe Mode, and press Enter.If a login page opens, log in to your computer using a user account that has administrator rights. If you do not know your password, press Enter.Windows opens in Safe Mode.
- Device Manager opens.
- Click View and select Show Hidden Devices.
- Click the arrow next to Keyboards, right-click a keyboard device name listed under Keyboards, and then click the Uninstall button to remove the device from Windows.
- Continue removing device names in the Keyboards category until all device names have been uninstalled.
- Leave the keyboard connected to the computer and restart the computer.
- The keyboard should now work correctly. If the keyboard still fails, reinstall and update the keyboard software .
Reinstalling and Updating the keyboard software in Windows 7
HP and Compaq keyboards use special software (kbd.exe) in addition to the normal keyboard drivers that come with Windows. This software provides extra functionality for the extra multimedia keys, Internet keys, and the volume control (on some keyboards).
Step 1: Restore the original keyboard drivers

Review: The Nest, Bangkok
Typically, the purpose of a rooftop bar is to experience the cool breeze of the heady heights of the 66th (or another ridiculously high) floor and enjoy incredible cityscapes. Bangkok's Nest, the rooftop lounge at Le Fenix Hotel on Sukhumvit Soi 11, doesn't really offer much fresh breeze, nor views. Okay, so there is definitely … read the full post

LAPD may change way it investigates officer-involved shootings
Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images
Los Angeles Police Department officers are deployed around the police headquarters on February 7, 2013 in Los Angeles, California.
Today, the Los Angeles Police Commission is meeting to decide on a dramatic change in existing policy. One that may have a ripple effect on the police force.
At issue is the way the police commission looks at officer-involved shootings and whether they are justified. Traditionally, the commission has looked at the shooting itself and whether at the time of the shooting, the officer was indeed facing a deadly threat
But now, the rules could be clarified to go beyond the shooting to the situations that preceded it For more we're joined by KPCC crime and safety reporter Erika Aguilar.

Vast in scope and size, there is only one true ocean on Earth. This connected body of water surrounds the continents and is divided into five major regions: the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic, and Southern oceans. (The Black and Caspian Seas are enclosed by the landmass that makes up Europe and Asia.) Taken together, the oceans cover more than 70 percent of the Earth's surface and give the planet the appearance, from space, of a blue marble.
The deep waters of these oceans hide from view rugged mountains, vast plateaus, active volcanoes, and seemingly bottomless trenches. These underwater landscapes are in an endless cycle of construction and destruction as new crust is born along mid-ocean ridges, pushing old crust into the depths of the fiery mantle.
The oceans appeared hundreds of millions of years ago as planet Earth cooled from its wild and hot adolescence. Layers of rock piled together and the vast amounts of steam that volcanoes spewed into the atmosphere turned to water vapor, condensed, and fell as rain. And rain it did. For thousands of years, the rains fell hard and filled giant depressions—forming the world's first seas.
Continental crust is less dense and thicker than the surface of the deep ocean. The transition from land to sea begins at the continental shelf, a gently sloping, submerged extension of the continent. The shelf ends at a break, where the increased steepness is defined as the continental slope. The slope leads down to the ocean abyss and its plains, plateaus, mountains, ridges, and trenches—hidden from view except for the tops of certain features that rise above the water's surface as islands.
Ever New Crust
The oldest rocks in the ocean date back only 200 million years, quite young for a planet thought to be about 4.5 billion years old. New crust constantly rises to the ocean surface along the mid-ocean ridge system, a giant underwater mountain range that snakes through the oceans like the stitching on a baseball. The birth of new crust pushes apart pieces of Earth's crust, called plates.
The pushing forces the old oceanic crust on the plate margins to bump into the edges of other plates. Where it collides with continental crust, the denser ocean crust dives beneath in a process called subduction. Once deep in the mantle, the crust melts into magma only to be spewed back to the surface along a mid-ocean ridge or an isolated volcano.
Subduction zones are marked by deep trenches, and just beyond them island arcs like Japan and mountains like the Andes in South America often rise. Where pieces of ocean crust collide, especially deep trenches form. The Mariana Trench in the North Pacific drops to a depth of 36,070 feet (10,994 meters) below the ocean surface at a point called Challenger Deep—the deepest spot on Earth.

Exposure, Relaxation and Rescripting Treatment (ERRT) was developed for the treatment of nightmares and other sleep problems. ERRT is a 5-session group treatment. The purpose of the treatment is to improve sleep quality by teaching behaviors that promote good sleep and by reducing the frequency and intensity of recurring nightmares.
The first part of the treatment group focuses on changing behaviors that contribute to sleep disturbances and learning relaxation skills.
The second part of the group involves working on the nightmares you are experiencing by writing them out, re-writing the distressing parts so that they are no longer distressing, and reading and visualizing these altered dreams.
This combination of relaxation techniques, modification of poor sleep habits and rehearsal of re-written nightmares has been shown to reduce the frequency and intensity of nightmares and improve overall sleep quality.
The ERRT Sleep Group is open to patients who have problems falling and/or staying asleep, and who experience frequent nightmares that cause significant sleep-related problems.
To fully benefit from the treatment, it is necessary to attend all sessions and to complete weekly assignments. An initial assessment at the Center for the Treatment and Study of Traumatic Stress is required before admission to the Sleep Group. Additional questions can be answered during this session.

Nemours' cystic fbrosis (CF) teams teach children and their families about CF and how to manage the condition on a daily basis. Our CF programs are nationally accredited as CF Care Centers by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Membership in this network helps us to ensure that children living with cystic fibrosis get the expert treatment they need to live longer, healthier lives.
Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. It makes kids who have it more vulnerable to repeated lung infections. This is because it causes the lungs to produce thick, sticky mucus that clogs the airways. The intestines are also affected in a way that interferes with the body's ability to digest and absorb food.
Our team of health care providers works together to support your child and family, educating you about cystic fibrosis treatment and how to manage the condition on a daily basis. We focus on meeting the needs of our patients from birth to age 18.
Nemours offers:
- newborn screening
- diagnostic testing, the gold standard of which is a sweat test performed in one of our state-of-the-art laboratories
- cystic fibrosis treatment for newly diagnosed infants and children
- long-term care plans
- assistance with transitioning our teenage patients to adult CF programs

At the Nemours Children's Clinic, Pensacola we offer comprehensive Cystic Fibrosis (CF) treatment in a family-oriented and convenient environment, with all care provided at one location. Our program is one of approximately 115 CF centers in the United States — and one of only 10 in Florida — accredited by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. It's the only such center in Northwest Florida and the only Core Care Center serving the area between New Orleans, Birmingham, Ala. and Gainesville, Fla.
Cystic Fibrosis Treatment
Because monitoring and maintaining good respiratory function is essential for all children with CF, several tests are standard parts of the routine care we provide:
- chest X-rays
- bacterial studies of sputum (mucus from the chest) to look for the growth of bacteria in the lungs
- pulmonary function tests (PFTs) to measure lung function
Lung function is one of the primary ways we track the overall health of our CF patients. Our caregivers follow all the national guidelines for care, and because of our participation in quality improvement efforts, we have seen a consistent upward climb in our patients' overall lung function.
We also provide routine pulmonary therapy (treatments to maintain lung function). Our respiratory therapists are skilled in airway clearance techniques and can educate children and families on the most effective ways to maintain clear airways.
Another part of our routine care includes blood tests to evaluate your child's nutritional status. CF puts children at risk for slow growth, difficulty gaining weight and a decreased ability to fight infection. They are also likely to have a condition called pancreatic insufficiency, which means that the digestive enzymes created in the pancreas aren't properly passed into the intestines.
By providing good overall nutrition, along with extra fat and calories and prescribed vitamin and enzyme supplements, you can help your child with CF grow healthy and strong. A CF-registered dietitian can design a medical nutrition therapy plan for your child, as well as track his or her growth and weight gain over time.
Education is a key component in our goal to help children and families manage CF. We teach families what to do in emergencies, provide education and the latest information about the disease, and host support groups with speakers and topics ranging from insurance issues to community and school resources. Social workers are available to help individual families with issues like funding care, insurance coverage and transitioning teenagers into adult CF programs.
We also take into account the emotional toll of living with CF. Children with CF often have periods where they cannot interact with other children because of the risk of developing infections. Nemours CF experts understand how lonely this can be, so they've developed resources to help children cope with these feelings. They offer newsletters and support groups, and often pair children of similar ages so they can develop friendships among their peers. In addition, Nemours is developing an online chat service for CF patients.
