Consumers should prepare for higher bills at the grocery store. According to government data released Tuesday, the food price index rose 0.4% in February, its largest increase since September 2011. The prices consumers paid for meat, poultry, fish and eggs, as well as for fruits and vegetables, saw a particularly steep incline, rising 1.2% and 1.1%, respectively, from January to February 2014.

Beef prices will likely be one of fastest-growing categories of food prices, economists predict. Already, thanks in part to cattle herds that are near 63-year lows and a recent drought in Texas, retail beef prices are near record highs (ground beef prices climbed 5% over 2013) and economists predict they will rise into 2015 or 2016. Kevin Good, a senior analyst at cattle research firm CattleFax, says that steak prices might climb 5% to 10% and ground beef prices 10% to 15% this year.

Roughly 90% of the lettuce grown in the U.S. comes from California and Arizona, says Milt McGiffen, a professor in the Department of Botany and Plant Sciences at the University of California-Riverside. This year, the lettuce crop was impacted by wild weather swings in areas of southern California and northeast Arizona, including several days of below freezing temperatures. In 2011, when some freezes took place, lettuce prices jumped significantly from January to March. Some scientists blame weather extremes like these on climate change — and companies are taking note. This week, Chipotle filed documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission that said "increasing weather volatility or other long-term changes in global weather patterns, including any changes associated with global climate change, could have a significant impact on the price or availability of some of our ingredients." They specifically noted that they might have to temporarily suspend items like guacamole and salsa from the menu.
Dairy prices remain high, with some analysts predicting a 10% or more spike for milk. This is thanks in part to increased demand from places like China, as well as slower-than-expected expansion of many dairy farms, says Sterling Liddell, the senior vice president for food and agribusiness at Rabo AgriFinance, a financial institution that lends money to farmers and agricultural businesses. Indeed, we're already seeing higher prices, as the current farm price for dairy is up nearly 25% from last year.
Pork prices this year are already high — up about 100% over the past five years and nearly 20% year on year — and will likely continue to stay high, says Liddell. This is partially due to the rapid spread of PEDV, or porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, a nasty bug that kills hogs, especially young ones, explains Liddell. "If the new litter is less than 15 days old, the mortality rate is very high," he says. The decline in volume of pork this year may be up to 10%, he predicts, though an increase in weights of some hogs may make up part of that. "We'll see even higher pork prices into the summer…in grilling season in July and August," he says.
California, particularly the Central Valley of California, is currently experiencing a record drought, and that is likely to affect tomato prices, says McGiffen. Indeed, the state produces roughly one-third of the fresh tomatoes grown in the U.S. and puts out a lot of the processed tomatoes too, says McGiffen. That means that consumers may see price increases in tomato sauce, salsa and canned tomatoes, says USDA research economist Richard Volpe; though, he adds that a price hike for processing tomatoes typically takes about six months to a year to trickle down into retail prices for processed foods.
Cheese prices are already up significantly. The price for block cheddar has climbed above $2 per pound — one of the highest levels in years — up roughly 22% from early last year; the price for mozzarella has also climbed steadily. And McGiffen says cheese prices might stay at these higher levels for a while longer. This is thanks in part to higher milk prices.
The supply of hard red winter wheat, which is used to make a lot of bread, is down significantly this year (from about 343 million bushels to 181 million in the U.S.), which may mean that consumers see higher prices on bread, says Liddell. Kansas, Nebraska and Montana, which are the largest producers of this type of wheat, had a dry season, which limited supply. Plus, there is growing demand from Brazil and growers had a hard time competing on price with oil companies for rail space with which to send the grain from farms to mills, he says. However, this sticker shock may be minimized by the fact that the cost of wheat accounts for only an estimated 20% of the cost of bread.
The Central Valley of California is experiencing its worst drought in modern history, and experts say that will likely impact food prices. Hester Jeon, an analyst with IBISWorld, says that prices for tree nuts, including almonds and walnuts, will likely increase this year largely because of the California drought and increased consumer demand; if those prices rise, it could also impact the myriad products made from nuts, including nut butters and almond milk and paste. Indeed, California produces 99% of the country's walnuts and almonds, according to government data. And walnuts in particular need a lot of water to grow: One walnut requires an estimated 4.9 gallons of water.
Salmon prices are near record highs right now, and some experts think that those increases will continue. Part of this is driven by increasing demand from both the U.S. and Europe and developing countries, which might increase 5 to 10% or more a year, according to the Financial Times. There are also some production issues, including the high price of fish oil, which is used in the pellets that farmers use to feed the salmon.
Grapes and peppers
The California drought may impact prices for a number of fruits and vegetables, as the state produces roughly half of all the country's vegetables, fruits and nuts. Because of this, "the drought is a real wrinkle for food prices," says Volpe. Government data shows that California produces 92% of the U.S. wine grapes, 90% of its strawberries, 49% of its bell peppers and 57% of its chili peppers. Furthermore, fruit and vegetable demand is high: Adults in the U.S. consume fruit about 1.1 times per day and vegetables about 1.6 times per day, according to the CDC.

Paul Stanley called out his former KISS bandmates Ace Frehley and Peter Criss for anti-Semitic and racist behavior. The guitarist made the revelations in his new memoir Face the Music: A Life Exposed.
Stanley says his former bandmates "felt powerless and impotent when faced with the tireless focus, drive and ambition of me and Gene [Simmons]. As a result, the two of them tried to sabotage the band - which, as they saw it, was unfairly manipulated by [us] money-grubbing Jews."
Stanley noted that his claims are "based on years and years of interactions. [They're] not pulled out of thin air."
He added that Frehley collected Nazi memorabilia and that Criss would mock waiters at Chinese restaurants in their early days in the band.
KISS will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 10.

Tales of a Married Gamer – Dinner and a game… or five
Greetings, and welcome back to another Tales of a Married Gamer. This week's article will be rather different than previous ones, as I will present you with a new ambitious plan that my wife and I are undertaking. Tomorrow, we will have friends over and we thought it would be nice to kickoff our new place with dinner and a game. But then we started to think about it, and why stop at just dinner and a game, so we decided to have a five course meal with five games played with each course. That's right, instead of pairing wines with food, we are pairing games (and beer) with food.
I actually do not know how well this will go over, but I have decided that for today's article I will write down our menu for all to see.
Course 1 – Chilled Tofu and Celery (paired with a nice game of Tsuro)
Ingredients: Silken Tofu, Celery, Sesame Oil, Salt
Directions: Slice celery thin, beat tofu till it becomes a smooth paste like a ricotta. Mix celery into the tofu, add sesame oil and salt to taste.
I put Tsuro here, as I thought it would be a nice way to start off our Asian themed dinner with an Asian themed game.
Course 2 – Sauteed Pea Shoots (paired with a game of Miles Bourne)
Directions: Heat a wok or fry pan on high heat. Throw ginger, garlic and scallions (diced) into hot oil. Add pea shoots and stir fry vigorously for a few minutes. As the shoots wilt, add a little rice wine and serve hot.
We play a game of Miles Bourne here so if things go quickly, we can move to the next course with ease.
Course 3 – Baked Chinese Hong Shao Ribs (paired with a game of Ticket to Ride)
Directions: Marinate ribs overnight in a mixture of (cubed or riblets) 70% brown sugar, 20% Chili Powder, 10% Salt. Add soy sauce (enough to cover the ribs) and a tablespoon of honey two hours before baking. Turn the oven to 400F place marinated ribs inside and bake until they are done. Make sure to cover tightly with foil while baking.
Ticket to Ride is a nice game to play here as the Ribs can be eaten with utensils as they are quite soft. Just be careful not to get Hong Shao sauce on your cards or game pieces.
Course 4 – Whole Steamed Fish (paired with Pandemic)
Directions: Clean a whole white fish (preferably a Rockfish or Red Cod). Place onto a platter that can be put into a steamer. Cover the fish lightly in salt, and add a generous amount of Chinese cooking wine and lots of scallions. Steam until fish is just fully cooked.
Pandemic seems like a horrible choice of a game for a dinner table, especially with the theme of sickness. Yet, we have had a lot of fun playing this game at the table, and the fish can be taken apart and eaten very easily without taking up much space.
Course 5 – Egg Tarts with Mango Pudding (paired with Settles of Catan with Cities and Knights expansion)
Directions: I'll be honest, I bought the egg tarts and mango pudding mix at the Chinese grocery store. The mango pudding is literally heating milk and adding the mix, and then letting it set for a few hours.
We placed Settles of Catan here, as the game takes longer for us with the expansion than any of the other games. It also needs more management and space, so food is served in small plates and bowls and will have very little mess.
So that is our grand menu for tomorrow. Do you have any suggestions for food and game pairing? Or do you believe that food should stay as far away as possible from the game table?

The real indoor cycling as we know it today, was invented in 1987 by the SouthAfrican cyclist Johnny Goldberg, who invited his cyclists' mates for an indoor cycling session, after installing a few exercise bikes in his garage. Later on, precisely in 1989, Johnny started his first fitness bikes center in California, and from this point in time, stationary bike indoor training grew in popularity to what we know today. One of the key milestones in history was probably 2002, when world renowned cyclist Greg Lemond (who won the Tour the france in 1986, 1989 and 1990) started LeMond Fitness, his own company manufacturing fitness bikes for fitness studios.
Today, exercise bike training is done in a class environment with trained instructors (certified by some of the best exercise bike manufacturers such as Schwinn, Spinning or by national associations) or train individually at homes, hotels, finess clubs.

The Grass Valley Center for the Arts is looking for your votes for nonprofit partners in 2012. Julie Baker with the center says their new Community nonprofit partner program will feature a nonprofit partner for each month of 2012. They will be selected based on the highest number of votes for the nonprofit to their web site. Baker outlines what the winning non profit will get as the nonprofit partner of the month.
"Each month the community will choose a different nonprofit that we will partner with and they will receive an actual banner on our website. They'll be in an e-mail blast that we'll do in an newsletter, they'll have a presence in our lobby and they'll also have a presence in our drop down screen before the shows."
The web site to vote is thecenterforthearts.org and click on 'nominate your favorite nonprofit.' Nominations will close December 24th of this year and the top 12 voted on non profits will be contacted to implement the monthly program. Baker says Women of Worth has already been selected for January's nonprofit partner as they have already garnered a number of votes on the web site.

When I hear the words "green" and "fashion" in the same sentence, I immediately think of organic cotton and hemp. From you vantage point, what are some of the coolest innovations in sustainable fibers happening right now?
Organic cotton and hemp have been the mainstays of the sustainable textiles industry, but the market is beginning to diversify, especially as the definition of "sustainable fashion" starts to expand. I've chosen to highlight five cool fabric picks. Most of these fabrics have not hit the commercial market yet – but will give you an idea on where the world of sustainable textiles is heading – or could head.
nanosilver particles embedded into medical fabric
Silver (yes the metal not the color) is commonly used in the medical and healthcare fields due to its known healing properties, but is slowly making its way into consumer markets, particularly in undergarments and athletic wear. Silver is a conductive element, which means it is naturally antimicrobial, thermally conductive, and electrically conductive. "The silver particles attach to the microbes and short-circuit them. Basically they suffocate," says Bennett Fisher from Carolina Silver. Silver is generally applied or woven into a fabric in three principal ways and not all silver fibers are created equally (continue reading).
Nanoparticle Finishes
Nanoparticle silver finishes adhere to the surface and can easily come off. It may be touted as a "permanent finish," but the manufacturer is counting on the silver, which has been chemically bound to the fiber, to outlast the garment, which is not quite "sustainable." Our bodies can't easily get rid of metallic silver or silver oxide, so medical professionals normally steer clear of those finishes. Additionally, cheap finishes may permanently discolor the skin a grayish-blue.
Extrusion Process
As fiber is extruded through machinery, manufacturers can put silver particles into the fiber and embed it in the final stages of the process. Silver, however, is often "covered up" with the fiber, which doesn't make it electrically conductive and is thus rendered ineffective, or at least not as effective.
Embedded Elemental Silver
The safest, most sensible and effective way silver is applied to a fabric is embedding enough pure silver into the material. Silver nitrate goes through a reduction process and embeds the pure silver on 99.9 percent of the surface. From there, silver ions—the invisible healing agents that make silver so effective—are released.
"We put enough silver to build a sheath around each fiber that is 4/10 to 5/10 microns thick," says Nelson Oakes from Carolina Silver Techonologies. "That ensures that the fiber remains conductive runways like wires in a wall." The fiber is so electrically conductive he says that if you stick it into a light socket, you're bound to get shocked and/or electrocuted, which I suggest you do not try. "Approximately 20 percent of the fabric's weight is pure silver and because it is pure silver, it is often recycled and used into new materials," comments Bennett Fisher. Both the elemental silver and wastewater from the Carolina Silver factory is recycled.
Teijin Fibers Limited of Japan has recently produced Morphotex®. The biomimetic fabric refracts light like the wings of the Morpho blue butterfly, completely eliminating any need for pigment or dyes, which has always been a challenge for sustainable designers who love and want color. All the color seen on the fabric's surface is created by the strength and angle of the light refraction against the material. Though extra dye is not used in the fabric, the material itself is made out of 85 percent polyester and 15 percent nylon. There is no word whether the manufacturers are using recycled polyester and nylon, which they have available in other products.
Natural rubber is obtained by the same mechanisms as it was over a thousand years ago: By making horizontal incisions into trees and letting the sticky white sap drip into containers, which is an inefficient system. Today, the world gets most of its natural rubber from Asia. The continent accounts for around 94 percent of the total output in 2005. New forms of rubber for products – both from naturally-derived sources and recycled/reclaimed rubber – is just beginning to hit the market.
Dandelion Rubber
According to Discovery News, scientists from Ohio State University's Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center (OARDC) and the Ohio BioProducts Innovation Center (OBIC) recently received a $3 million grant to design and build a processing plant that would turn sticky white dandelion root from Russian dandelion (Taraxacum kok-saghyz) sap into a high quality natural rubber that rivals tree rubber in price.
Artificial rubber is far less superior to its natural counterpart, which is why it is important to find new sources of natural rubber. According to Discovery News, the price for rubber has doubled in recent years, making alternative sources of natural rubber more attractive than past efforts, which reach all the way back to World War II, when the Soviets made rubber from dandelions.
Green Rubber
Datuk Vinod Sekhar was recently awarded a Sustainable Design award at Global Green's NYC fundraiser this past year. Green Rubber, a division of the Petra Group, has successfully figured out how to devulcanise and recycle rubber, a technology that has not been perfected until now. For so long, rubber in materials could only be partially recycled in order to maintain its original properties. According to Sekhar, the cost of a ton of Green Rubber is significantly below current market prices for the virgin rubber compound, which gives it a definite market benefit.
I was first introduced to nettle fabric by Norwegian designer, Leila Hafzi, who commonly works with artisans in Nepal. It was there where she saw craftswomen spinning the Himalayan Giant Nettle (also known as Allo), which grows in the mountains. Fabric from nettle has been used for thousands of years, but it fell out of favor as cotton became the fabric-of-choice. Nettle has many properties similar to linen, but it's long staple can provide for some interesting fabrications if proper technology and scale is brought to the industry. Like many newly-introduced natural, sustainable fabrics on the market, this can initially make a big entrance especially since you can say, "Can you believe that this soft fabric is made out of stinging nettle?" As someone who has seen nettle firsthand, I do believe it's a great fabric and a good opportunity to diversify the sustainable fiber portfolio – as well as act as a promising sustainable development tool. Currently Camira Fabrics has begun producing some nettle fabrics for interiors and The Natural Fiber Nepal supplies handspun organic nettle.
Though not a consumer product, the idea of "victimless leather" is no doubt an intriguing one: Can you make a leather-based product without exploiting or killing animals? The "victimless leather" is grown out of cell lines, which when cultured, form a living layer of tissue supported by a biodegradable polymer matrix to form a coat. This is the type of technology Victor Frankenstein would have a field day with or modern day Hiroshi Ishiguro, who manufactures real-life robots with voice recognition and human emotions, may be keen to incorporate into the "skin" of his prototypes.
The R&D of "Victimless Leather" has been conducted in SymbioticA: the Art and Science Collaborative Research Laboratory, School of Anatomy and Human Biology at the University of Western Australia and in consultation with Professor Arunasalam Dharmarajan from the School of Anatomy and Human Biology as well as Verigen, a Perth based company that specializes in tissue engineered cartilage for clinical applications.

Company Offers Fantasy Football Insurance
Say what? Do we really need Fantasy Football insurance?
Millions of Americans of all ages are currently involved in the Fantasy Football craze – a game that lets you test your skills as a pretend NFL-type team owner using statistics of real NFL players. In Fantasy football you join a league (usually with friends or co-workers), you scout for and draft players, compete against other fantasy owners, and use all your skills – including picking-up and releasing, or even trading players, to win the championship. It's a game where participants can compete locally and nationally for simple bragging rights or even thousands of dollars in cash and prizes. Fantasy football has also become a big business. It is reported that the fantasy sports industry is worth approximately $1.2 billion, according to IBISWorld, as more than 270 businesses make money off the "fantasy teams". One of those businesses is now looking to provide Fantasy "insurance" to protect your fantasy investment

The real question should be: what's going to happen to the US Dollar in 2014 and will it collapse? it seems like a silly question sometimes: of course the dollar won't collapse! The US government won't allow that to happen! But you know what, just like in fantasy football, bad things happen in the world economy and even the best experts don't see trends coming. How many people accurately predicted the downturn in the US housing market in 2008? Not many. How many predicted that the stock market would then soar from lows to near 6000 to more than double that in just over five years?
The point is, we don't know what will happen to our fantasy football teams any more than we know what will happen to the future of the US dollar. All we know for sure is what we can see today and what makes sense right now.

A song on the album "Moonshadow" by Labelle entitled "If I Can't Have You".
It is set to start off as this very moving gospel-like song, but then you realize it's a song about a realtionship gone awry. All of the elements are there involving broken trust, mistreatment, denial........sigh...for a little over three minutes Patti Labelle (lead vocals ,and does she lead OMG!!!),Nona Hendryx and Sara Dash( background vocals)....awesome song!!! You can feel the hurt and pain. SIGH!!!!!!Tight musicians on Hammond organ,guitar,bass......you gotta get this one!!!!It has been re-issued on CD ( originally on vinyl on Warner/ Reprise) I got mine on-line from DustyGrooves.

Ok a couple things to say, can the person who put the lyrics to "You" from Evanescence up, please take them down. Amy Lee has asked that no one even listens to this song, or put up lyrics as it is private to her. It was actually stolen from her and put online and she is asking that it be (song itself, and lyrics) taken off the internet.
Also, the saddest song I have heard is (already mentioned before somewhere) "Hello" from Evanescence. The power of Amy's voice is amazing, and you can feel every emotion that she had while writing this song, through both her words, and her vocals. I guess this song meant a lot to her since it was written for her sister who had passed away. Amy gets so emotional during that this song that she can't even play it live in concerts because its too personal to her.
Whenever Im feeling down [a lot last year-getting over it now], I always listened to; Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares To You
The video's amazing also - Really moving. Beautiful song.

STRANGELY, one of my song choices sortof pair up with that one. On the second season DVD, they replaced all the original songs, and the replacement for that one was some song that I've been looking everywhere for. Here's some of the lyrics (very difficult to interprete, so I sortof added in some words to try give myself something to actually say when I have the song stuck in my head:
"Whether I've got a ways to go,
I'm high above the patchwork of Ohio.
I should be without my rout and raw soul,
but at the rate I'm goin'...
...I don't know.
I feel like I don't remember,
And I search for you in the patterned nest below.
But is it summer air or snow?
Whether I've got a ways to go,
Like your old mother did back in Milwaukke.
I'm high above...
...the patchwork of Ohio.
Tryin' to find the sense to end my ariel."
God, that's sad! A lost soul.
Some other of my most melancholy tunes are:
"In The Air Tonight" -Phil Collins
"All I Know" -Art Garfunkel
"Answer" -Sarah Mcluaghlin (never known how to spell her last name)
No Lies Just Love by Bright Eyes
It was in the march of the winter
I turned seventeen
That I bought those pills
I thought I would need
And I wrote a letter
To my family
Said it's not your fault
And you've been good to me
Just lately I've been feeling
Like I don't belong
Like the ground's not mine
To walk upon
And I've heard that music
Echo through the house
Where my grandmother drank
By herself
And I sat watching a flower
As it was withering
I was embarrassed by
It's honesty
So I'd prefer to be remembered
As a smiling face
Not this fucking wreck
That's taken it's place
So please forgive what I have done
No, you can't stay mad at the setting sun
We all get tired, I mean, eventually
There is nothing left to do but sleep
But spring came bearing sunlight
Those persuasive rays
So I gave myself
A few more days
My salvation, it came
Quite suddenly
When Justin spoke
Very plainly
He said, "Of course it's your decision
But just so you know
If you decide to leave
Soon I will follow"
I wrote this for a baby
Who has yet to be born
My brother's first child
I hope that womb's not too warm
Because it's cold out here
And it will be quite a shock
To breathe this air
To discover loss
So I'd like to make some changes
Before you arrive
So when your new eyes meet mine
They won't see no lies
Just love
Just love
I will be pure
No, no, I know I will be pure
Like snow
Like gold
Like snow
Like gold
Poison Oak by Bright Eyes
Poison Oak some boyhood bravery.
when the telephone was a tin can on a string.
and I fell asleep with you still talking to me.
you said you weren't afraid to die.
In polaroids you were dressed in women's clothes.
were you made ashamed whyd you lock them in the drawer.
And I don't think that I ever loved you more.
Than when you turned away.
When you slammed the door.
When you stole the car drove towards Mexico.
And you wrote bad checks just to fill your arm.
I was young then I still believed in war.
But let the poets cry themselves to sleep.
and all their tearful words could turn back into steam.
me Im a single cell on a serpants tongue.
and theres a muddy field where a garden was
and I'm glad you got away.
but I'm still stuck out hear.
my clothes are soaking wet from your brothers tears.
And I never thought this life was possible.
You're the yellow bird that I've been waiting for.
The end of paralysis I was a statuette
Now I'm drunk as hell on a piano bench,
And when I press the keys it all gets reversed.
The sound of lonliness makes me happier.
Both tie for most amazing, but sad song Ive heard.
Modjo's "Lady Hear Me Tonight" always makes me really sad. It reminds me of going back to school after what had been a really great summer. And bear in mind I went to an all-boys school, something most of you would probably look forward to.
Johnny Cash - Hurt. This song is very sad, watching the video and the power in the music...it made tears come to my eyes when I first heard it.
Travellin Soldier by The Dixie Chicks as well is very sad.
I have 2, sorry...
Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me."
and a duet (so that makes me eligible for the second!) between Michael English & Winona Judd called "Healing" (sad, but in a good way).
Okay...one more: Angie Aparo's version of "Cry" (the song Faith Hill sings). It is pheNOMenal! I bet you all could relate!
"he stopped loving her today" by George Jones
I have a few more sad songs
Elvis Presley~ I'm so lonesome I could cry i think it was originally done by Hank Williams but Elvis really puts that soul and sadness into it It get me teary eyed everytime i hear it.
Also Linda Perry~ Knock Me Out from The Crow Sdtrk. heart-wrenching i think its about when she was in an abusive relationship and her boyfriend used to beat her alot.
Oh and one more
Nirvana~ Depressed i think its talking about when he was homeless and how sad and lonely he felt very gut wrenching song
I thought this was a saddest songs thread, not a saddest thing to say thread... my mistake.Originally Posted by jackbrady
Oh, and 'Bye Bye Baby' by the BCR for your info.
"England for the English as we used to say about India"
My Heart Will Go On .... it just reminds me of the movie
not sure if anyone's mentioned this yet...but there's a remix of the song "heaven" by DJ Sammy. even though its originally a club track, this remix is slow, and sad, and there's a little girl that talks about how she'll see her dad some day; her dad who died in the 9/11 WTO attacks. its gotta be one of the saddest things i've ever heard. but its probably not one of those commiserate to get through the day kind of songs....
I have a few
"Who Knew" from P!nk. I swear, the emotion and her voice in that song... especially the end: "If someone said three years from now that you'd be long gone/ I'd stand up and punch them out, cuz the're all wrong!/ And that last kiss/ I'll charish/ Until we meet again/ And time makes it harder/ I wish I could remember/ But I keep your memory/ You visit me in my sleep!!/ My darlin... who knew..." ... I still get watery eyes every now and then.
"Try" by Nelly Furtado. I believe someone else said it too, which I was kinda surprised because it was off her lesser known album Folklore. Something was so sad about it "Then I see you standin' there/ Watchin over me/ And all I can do is try/ Then I see you standin' there/ I'm all I'll ever be/ And all I can do is... try."
"Raven" by Lisa Marie Presley and "My Innocence" by Lindsay Lohan. They both hit home really hard because (E True Hollywood Story moment) my Mom has been in and out of prison my whole life, I never have really gotten to know my Mom so those songs really struck a cord. Lisa's was more of a "we still need to understand each other and I forgive you if you forgive me for not always being there when you were going through a hard time... and Lindsay is just the frustration I have of her just leaving me.
Lisa: "Wings uncertain oo but she's still flyin/ Yeah little raven, I see you there/ Hold your head up now/ And I wont try to pull your feathers out I promise/ ... / Why don't you fly with me and we'll have a chat and a cup of tea and a long lost need to see who's really there/ And you'll finally be ok with me and I'll hear your stories that fill your sad eyes when you had raven hair/ Hold your head up high/ I know that I've been ruthless/ I'm ruthless/ Go on dry your eyes/ And know that I've forgiven you/ And I'm sorry/ And everything 'til now/ It wasn't that bad really/ You beautiful lady."
And with Lindsay "You took my innocence away/ I never had a chance to/ You broke me in with your mistakes/ But thanks for the breakthrough/ But you wont bring me down/ I always come around/ You took my innocence away/ But the best of me stayed."
And even though it's not sad, I still get choked up over Lee Ann Womack "I Hope You Dance". I secretly dedicate that to my sister. "I hope you never lose your sense of wonder/ You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger/ May you never take one single breath for granted/ God forbid love ever leave you empty handed/ I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean/ Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens/ Promise me that youll give faith a fighting chance/ And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance/ I hope you dance....i hope you dance."
much more, but for another day.

Is it a kind of dream,
Floating out on the tide,
Following the river of death downstream?
Oh, is it a dream?
There's a fog along the horizon,
A strange glow in the sky.
And nobody seems to know where you go.
And what does it mean?
Oh, is it a dream?
Bright eyes,
Burning like fire.
Bright eyes,
How can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes.
Is it a kind of shadow,
Reaching into the night,
Wandering over the hills unseen?
Or is it a dream?
There's a high wind in the trees,
A cold sound in the air.
And nobody ever knows when you go.
And where do you start,
Oh, into the dark?
Bright eyes,
Burning like fire.
Bright eyes,
How can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes.
Bright eyes,
Burning like fire.
Bright eyes,
How can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes.
Two Little Boys - Rolf Harris
Two little boys had two little toys
Each had a wooden horse
Gaily they played each summer's day
Warriors both of course
One little chap then had a mishap
Broke off his horse's head
Wept for his toy then cried with joy
As his young playmate said
Did you think I would leave you crying
When there's room on my horse for two
Climb up here Jack and don't be crying
I can go just as fast with two
When we grow up we'll both be soldiers
And our horses will not be toys
And I wonder if we'll remember
When we were two little boys
Long years had passed, war came so fast
Bravely they marched away
Cannon roared loud, and in the mad crowd
Wounded and dying lay
Up goes a shout, a horse dashes out
Out from the ranks so blue
Gallops away to where Joe lay
Then came a voice he knew
Did you think I would leave you dying
When there's room on my horse for two
Climb up here Joe, we'll soon be flying
I can go just as fast with two
Did you say Joe I'm all a-tremble
Perhaps it's the battle's noise
But I think it's that I remember
When we were two little boys
Do you think I would leave you dying
There's room on my horse for two
Climb up here Joe, we'll soon by flying
Back to the ranks so blue
Can you feel Joe I'm all a tremble
Perhaps it's the battle's noise
But I think it's that I remember
When we were two little boys
Emmylou Harris - Love That Will Never Grow Old
Go to sleep, may your sweet dreams come true
Just lay back in my arms for one more night
I've this crazy old notion that calls me sometimes
Saying this one's the love of our lives.
Cause I know a love that will never grow old
And I know a love that will never grow old.
When you wake up the world may have changed
But trust in me, I'll never falter or fail
Just the smile in your eyes, it can light up the night,
And your laughter's like wind in my sails.
Lean on me, let our hearts beat in time,
Feel strength from the hands that have held you so long.
Who cares where we go on this rutted old road
In a world that may say that we're wrong.
'River' by Joni Mitchell
angel from montgomery by john prine
kasey chambers "am i not pretty enough"/ the song is haunting and her voice is amazing. tis a shame she dosnt get much airplay in the states.

"Breaking the Silence" Loraina McKennit
"Learn to Be Lonely" by Minie Driver from the movie "The Phantom of the Opera".
Two songs:
The Living Years - Mike + The Mechanics
"..... I wasn't there that morning
when my father passed away.
I didn't get to tell him
all the things I had to say.
I think I caught his spirit
later that same year.
I'm sure I heard his echo
in my baby's new-born tears.
I just wish I could have told him
In the living years..."
Chuvas de Verão
Podemos ser amigos simplesmente
Coisas do amor nunca mais
Amores do passado, no presente
Repetem velhos temas tão banais
Ressentimentos passam como o vento
São coisas de momento
São chuvas de verão
Trazer uma aflição dentro do peito
É dar vida a um defeito
Que se extingue com a razão
Estranha no meu peito
Estranha na minha alma
Agora eu tenho calma
Não te desejo mais
Podemos ser amigos simplesmente
Amigos, simplesmente, nada mais
Just one choice -- and you never know which one -- just one choice will change your life forever.
So many of the songs from Les Miserables (best musical ever!) and Miss Saigon reduce me to tears every time I listen to them. My favourites ....
From Les Mis .....
I Dreamed a Dream
Come to me (Fantine's Death)
In My Life
On My Own
Bring Him Home
Empty Chairs at Empty Tables
From Miss Saigon .....
The Movie in My Mind
Why God Why?
I Still Believe
I'd Give My Life For You
Bui Doi
Father and Son .... Cat Stevens
Its not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
Youre still young, thats your fault,
Theres so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but Im happy.
I was once like you are now, and I know that its not easy,
To be calm when youve found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything youve got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
Its always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now theres a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
Its not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
Youre still young, thats your fault,
Theres so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but Im happy.
(son-- away away away, I know I have to
Make this decision alone - no)
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
Its hard, but its harder to ignore it.
If they were right, Id agree, but its them you know not me.
Now theres a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
(father-- stay stay stay, why must you go and
Make this decision alone? )
Not a sad song as such, but Westlife's You Raise Me Up always makes me weepy when I hear it, 'cos it makes me think of my beloved, beautiful Mum, who died about five years ago. She was my rock, my inspiration, my confidante, my guide and my best friend ....
When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.
You raise me up... To more than I can be.
"Dance with My Father" Luther Vandross
Back when I was a child
before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high
and dance with my mother and me and then
Spin me around 'til I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure I was loved
If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
How I'd love, love, love
To dance with my father again
When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way, I would run from her to him
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
'Cause I'd love, love, love
To dance with my father again
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
And I'd hear how my mother cried for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me
I know I'm praying for much too much
But could you send back the only man she loved
I know you don't do it usually
But dear Lord she's dying
To dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream....
I love you, Daddy.
The Birdie Song *crys*
Seriously, probably Somewhere Over The Rainbow (the Eva Cassidy version).
One of the most beautiful, emotional and upsetting songs I have heard. This song ias about when Nikka's father died when she was a child and is just simply her playing the piano and singing it, no major production or anything just raw. It sounds sad but I cry every time I hear it because its what it does to me.
Nikka Costa - Fatherless Child
Heaven spoke too loud
Left me a fatherless child
Occurs to me everyday
But your memory makes me proud
You're the one I hold
You're the first man I loved
And all that follow
Have a mountain to rise above
And there's a hole inside of me
Where I put flowers so I can breathe
And though the winters have come and gone
You're still my heart, you're still my sun
Somehow I always knew
What I lost was never gone
'Cause there's a part of you
Inside of me that carries on
And there's a hole inside of me
Where I put flowers so I can breathe
And though the winters have come and gone
You're still my heart, you're still my sun
Heaven spoke too loud
Left me a fatherless child
And there are time you know
I really wish you were around
And I'll try to make you proud
'Cause you're the break in every cloud
And I'm convinced that's why
The sun shines on me....
I am going to say an old Evanescence song called Field of Innocense. I think almost everyone can relate to it:
I still remember the world from the eyes of a child. Slowly those feelings were clouded by what I know know.
Oh where, where has my heart gone?
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger!
Oh I, I want to go back to
beleiving in everything and knowing nothing at all...
Aimee Mann - Wise Up
Alterbridge: In loving memory
"Tomorrow Wendy" by Concrete Blonde... the last days of a woman with AIDS. Very emotional!!
eve of destruction, barry mc guire, circa 1965
song about a woman who gets AIDS is Reba McEntire's "She Thinks His Name Was John"
Some lyrics:
Now each day is one day that's left in her life
She won't know love, have a marriage or sing lullabies
She lays all alone and cries herself to sleep
'Cause she let a stranger kill her hopes and her dreams
Music and Lyrics Lewis Allan
Sung by Billie Holiday
Southern trees bear strange fruit,
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze,
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.
Pastoral scene of the gallant south,
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth,
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh,
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.
Here is fruit for the crows to pluck,
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck,
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop,
Here is a strange and bitter crop.
(Excuse me if it's been posted before)

The adage "beauty is pain" is highly disputable. But when beauty packaging and empty beauty containers make up a whopping 1/3 of waste found in landfills, "beauty is waste" seems a far more fitting, not to mention, indisputable saying for these modern times.
Despite the best of intentions, it remains that not all plastic bottles and containers are recyclable, which means that for all of our efforts spent sorting and properly disposing of them, many of them still end up in landfills. But the folks at TerraCycle have certainly demonstrated that it doesn't have to.
The brainchild of wunderkind Tom Szaky, since 2001, the proudly green non-profit organization has been breathing new life into garbage, rendering previously non-recyclable goods, recyclable. There's no such thing as waste for Szaky and his team, who collect everything from candy wrappers to cigarette butts (yes, you read right) to then repurpose into eco-friendly products, available for purchase at terracycle.ca. and other major retailers like Wal-Mart, Whole Foods Market, and Target. The latter feat, the green organization achieves in two ways: the first, upcycling, which entails taking a waste product as is and finding a novel use for it. Think of a used door converted into a table, for example. The other way is recycling, or extracting the materials that make up a waste product and using said materials to fashion a brand new product.
We recently made our way to TerraCycle's offices in Toronto to see, and experience the magic of waste repurposing for ourselves. TerraCycle lives and breathes eco-friendly solutions, made evident by their rather psychedelic headquarters, replete with repurposed innovations. Frankly, it takes seeing the mind-boggling sorts of DIY projects like the ones lining the walls, shelves, (and even the ceiling) of the organization's offices to believe in the infinite potential of waste repurposing. And it's nothing short of eye-opening.
From left to right: The front entrance at TerraCycle; a disco ball made of compact discs; plastic bottles make for artistic décor; dresses made of old candy wrappers.
Luckily for us, we got to put our own DIY skills to the test, fashioning everything for gift bows to chandeliers out of empty plastic containers and beauty packaging. Upcycling is not only sustainable, but also wildly fun and addictive (even if you have two left hands, like I do!). But most importantly, waste repurposing, with concerted effort on the part of individuals, communities, and organizations, can effect real environmental change, one repurposed object a time. This alone is reason enough to eschew the rather lazy and unsound waste-management ways we've grown accustomed to.
1. Getting our arts & crafts on. 2. Plastic containers ready to go for some DIY fun. 3. Desk organizers, made easy. 4. Jessica from Beautezine, and yours truly, hard at work. 5. Gift bow made of Garnier labels. 6. A little beauty packaging goes a long way. 7. Our upcycling arsenal. 8. Waste repurposing is an engrossing task, can't you tell? 9. Tah-dah: a chandelier! 10. A plastic garland, neat no?
Thanks to TerraCycle, and with the help of over 14 million people across 11 countries through collection programs, more than 1 500 products were born out of the recycling and/or upcycling of billions of waste since the company's inception, subsequently reducing carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions resulting from landfills and the use of incinerators.
Now, what can we, as consumers, do to reduce the alarming amount of waste our consumption of beauty products generate? Simple. Sign yourself, your household, your school, or even your community up and join the TerraCycle Personal Care and Beauty Brigade, a waste collection program made possible by Garnier Canada, a world-renowned sustainable beauty label who not only talks the talk, but walks the walk. Suffice to amass all your empty beauty bottles and containers, and once you have a full collection box, simply print a postage label, which you'll find online at terracycle.ca. And that's it! Once your beauty waste makes it to destination, TerraCycle will credit you with points, each one redeemable for $0.02 towards the non-profit organization or school of your choice.
But, should our efforts stop here? Certainly not! We can also produce real change be being mindful of the very cosmetic products we use. How? Simply by supporting and purchasing from sustainable beauty brands, like Garnier. In addition to its partnership with TerraCycle on behalf of the beauty industry (Garnier and TerraCycle's Beauty Brigade accepts all packages regardless of the brand), between 2005 and 2012, Garnier, the second largest beauty brand worldwide, has significantly reduce its water usage, as well as reduced its plastic usage by 10%. What's more, the nature-focused brand's Fructis Pure Clean hair care collection comes in PET (Polyethylene Teraphthalate) bottles–one of the most recyclable forms of plastic–and is free of silicone, parabens, and dyes, instead made up of 92% biodegradable formulas, which are capable of breaking down within 28 days. And during the month of April, for every Garnier product sold at Wal-Mart, Garnier will donate $.025 to Evergreen Canada, a national organization whose aim is to render our cities environmentally sustainable through greening projects in schools, parks, and communities across the country.
And in our everyday lives, the smallest of changes to our beauty regimen can make a world of difference:
- Opt for multitasking products, like 2-in-1 shampoos and conditioners, and 3-in-1 hairsprays.
- Use no more than a marble-size amount of shampoo or conditioner, and nickel-size amount of hair serum as a rule of thumb.
- Always be mindful of your water consumption, not letting the water run whether you're brushing your teeth, shaving, or washing your face.
- Air dry your hair, and minimize the use of your hair tools (flat/curling irons, blow-dryers, and the like)
- Get the most recent shower head model you can get your hands on, as newer versions dispense less water per minute.
- Unplug appliances and hair tools when not in use, as they draw power even while they're switched off.
- Hang your clothes in the bathroom while you shower. The steam generated will steam your clothes, and save energy that would otherwise be spent with the use of an iron or steamer.
- Decorate your home with plants. The latter organisms absorb airborne particles and contaminants, in addition to cycling air through their leaves.
- Keep your consumption of plastic to a minimum. Instead of a shower puff, opt for a loofa made of natural materials like hemp.
With Earth Month well underway, there's no time like the present to commit to Mother Earth, and make that commitment one you'll carry long after April.

Cynthesizer 5
Cynthesizer 5 is the next generation of high-level synthesis
technology. It includes ideas and experience from more than a decade of production SystemC
high-level synthesis deployment. With Cynthesizer 5, design teams can quickly create high-quality
RTL implementations from highly abstract SystemC models. The SystemC models can be easily created
using the new Cynthesizer Workbench SystemC IDE, retargeted to new technology platforms, and
reused more easily than traditional hand coded RTL. And, Cynthesizer 5 will allow designers to
actively make tradeoffs to power in addition to area and performance from right within the
high-level synthesis environment.
Cynthesizer 5 redefines high-level synthesis and will help you get designs done more quickly and
with better results.
Cynthesizer's "C5" Synthesis Core
Forte's new "C5" synthesis core combines the scheduling and allocation phases of the tool, improving
predictability and quality of results. New scheduling algorithms allow Cynthesizer to quickly test
multiple design microarchitectures and schedules to find the best possible area, performance, and
power based on the designers constraints. The new C5 core improves area results 9% on average compared
to previous Cynthesizer releases.
Cynthesizer Low Power
With Cynthesizer 5, design teams can automate complex low power optimizations that are often difficult
or impossible to realize with hand-coded RTL. Designers can use Cynthesizer's design exploration
capabilities to trade off area, performance, and power for a given set of design constraints.
Combined, these new optimizations can yield power reductions of 60% or more depending on the design.
Cynthesizer Workbench
The Cynthesizer Workbench graphical user interface included with Cynthesizer 5 includes a SystemC
Integrated Development Environment (IDE), making SystemC development easy and intuitive for new
users and advanced users alike. Beyond typical IDE features, the Cynthesizer Workbench also provides
several SystemC design "kick-starters" to quickly create new models using pre-defined templates to
reduce design and debug time.
The internals of the Cynthesizer Workbench have also been completely redesigned to allow faster
design, debug, and analysis of SystemC models and the resulting RTL designs. The analysis environment
includes SystemC and RTL source linking, waveforms, and other tools to optimize design results.
CynWare IP
Cynthesizer 5's CynWare SystemC IP library and CynWare Interface Generator™ give designers
synthesizable building blocks to jumpstart their designs. Since these pre-designed elements are
implementation independent, they are re-targetable to different processes or QoR targets without
performance or area penalties. The result is truly reusable design IP that accelerates the design
and verification process.
The CynWare IP library contains high speed simulation models and bit-accurate synthesizable models
for all IP.
Datapath Optimization
Forte's patented DpOpt technology can automatically identify optimization opportunities in the
high-level SystemC design and synthesize optimized custom datapath components to meet the need.
This allows designers to reduce circuit area and power and achieve circuit speeds unachievable
through other means.
Cynthesizer Ecosystem
Forte's support of industry standards eases the adoption of new technology and protects design tool
investments over time.
Forte partners with numerous EDA companies to deliver complete design solutions so that our common
customers can derive the benefits of using products and technologies that best meet the needs for the
production design flows.
Forte is a member of EDAC and an active member of Accelera with a seat on the Board of Directors.

Our patient community has been up in arms for quite some time about glucose meter accuracy, or rather lack thereof. Fortunately, the patient-initiated StripSafely campaign seems to have struck a chord, and the FDA has recently — at long last — issued new "draft guidance" on accuracy standards. What surprised a lot of people, though, is how FDA chose to split their recommendations into two categories: one set of requirements for meters purchased over-the-counter and used by patients in everyday life, and another for meters used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals. And guess which is required to be more accurate?
You guessed it: +/-15% for home-use meters and a tighter +/-10% for clinical meters.
On top of that, the new guidance is only aimed at NEW products getting ready to undergo FDA evaluation for the first time; it doesn't address the accuracy of meters already on the market — which disappointed many of us calling for better "post-market surveillance" of meters that may be doing a crap job after some years of use. Also, the new guidance is "non-binding" for manufacturers, so not mandatory. Huh?
Last week, the FDA hosted a teleconference led by Courtney Lias, Director of CDRH/Division of Chemistry and Toxicology, to address these concerns with patient advocates, physicians and interested members of the media.
The main point Lias seemed to want to convey is that the FDA is trying to be practical here, by issuing what they believe to be reasonable and achievable guidelines.
"The technology isn't currently sufficient for manufacturers to meet +/-10% accuracy at the huge volume of lay use, but for the smaller volume of tests done in clinical settings, they can… In an ideal world, everyone would have a meter that's within 5-10% of the accuracy reference, but as it stands right now, if we called for that, manufacturers wouldn't be able to provide meters at all."
— Courtney Lias of FDA, on the agency's new draft guidances for glucose meter accuracy
The other major reason for separate guidances is the fact that meters in clinical settings are used on multiple patients, so the cleaning and disinfection requirements need to be a lot more stringent, she said. And the study data submitted for product approval of clinical meters has to include test measures of venous blood, arterial blood, blood from newborn babies, and all the other yucky ways that clinical meters are used. (OK, it's all yucky — who wants to take a self-blood test, anyway? But I digress…)
Home Use Meters – What's New
Lias says the first portion of the new guidance addresses cleaning and disinfection instructions, which is all about preventing infectious diseases of course.
Next the FDA addresses user evaluations, calling for manufacturers to look at a sample size increased from just 100-150 samples to 350 samples — plus an additional 50 high and 50 low blood sugar samples "because those are hard to catch," Lias says. This differs from current requirements, which include very little data in the hypoglycemic range.
And on the accuracy standards themselves: 95% of all this data must be within 15% of the "reference method" (for testing accuracy and precision) and a full 100% of the data must be within 20% of the method (to reduce the number of "outliers," aka crazy-off data that may skew the results).
"This is meant to be a mechanism for risk analysis – illustrating why the meter won't pose safety problems," Lias said.
She also said the guidance states that it's acceptable for home meters to measure only as low as 50 mg/dL, which surprised me. But she says "we'll get a more accurate meter that way."
Without getting too deep into the science, there are also new specifications on "interference factors" and hematocrit (red blood cell count) that can affect BG results — all aimed at reducing the potential impact of testing errors.
FDA will also be taking a closer look at manufacturers' lot release methodology – collecting information about manufacturers' sites and the quality of their production. This will be accomplished through data collection and site inspections, Lias says.
Perhaps most importantly, FDA is calling for new labeling information on test strip vials; they must include information about the lot/production, and a description of the performance (accuracy data) on the outer box label so users can compare one meter to another. That's HUGE! They're finally recognizing that patients have concerns and want to make informed decisions!
The vials will also need to carry "a prominent warning" that these home strips are not meant for use in healthcare settings (i.e. concern over the spread of Hepatitis B).
Clinical Use Meters – What's New
Since we're talking about meters that are used by multiple patients here, the guidance naturally calls for more stringent cleaning and disinfection methods — although this hasn't changed much from the current requirements, Lias says.
User evaluations are meant to reflect how these meters are employed in the clinic: using venus blood, arterial blood, blood from newborn babies, etc., and manufacturers now need to submit data on 350 individual patients per type, plus 50 high and low samples just as with the home meters.
The tighter accuracy standards here state that 95% of the data must be within 10% of the reference method, and almost 100% of the data must be within 15% of the method — again to assure minimal outliers. Lisa reminded us that in the hospital, they're often trying to address PWDs just coming out of surgery, so precision accuracy is of utmost importance.
Perhaps the most important change here is that clinical glucose meters are now going to be prescription devices. This means clinics must obtain "waivers" to use them. This seems like an important safety check to be sure what's happening in the clinic/hospital is safe and good for PWDs.
Manufacturers of these clinical devices must also report data on interference factors, of course, and the acceptable hematocrit range is tighter than with home meters, Lias says.
What About Enforcement?
All good, but this is "non-binding guidance," so… huh? How will this be enforced? That was the first question on the conference call, submitted by the president of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE).
"This is pre-market guidance, so it's not about enforcement," Lias said. "Rather these are the requirements to convince us that a product is acceptable for clearance."
She also said it's not simply an "honor system." If the FDA suspects the integrity of data submitted, they can stop the evaluation and send out inspectors to the production site. "But that's not common, " Lisa says. "More common is that we get info based on idealized data and… that may loosen criteria. We need to make sure lot lease criteria are better defined."
(Note that manufacturers must sign a "truthful & accurate" statement when submitting their data, and if they lie, it's a criminal act.)
Jane Chiang, New Senior VP for Medical Affairs of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) asked about "harmonization" with the new European ISO accuracy standard, updated in May of 2013 and used in many countries around the world. Lias said the FDA has not yet recognized the 2013 update because they "don't believe it captures important concerns" (wow!). So they drafted their own new guidances instead.
However, she says FDA is still encouraging vendors to meet the ISO standard for marketing in other countries. And if vendors meet the new stricter FDA standards, they'll automatically cover the international standard too.
"The EU works more on a self-certification system for this type of device," Lias added.
And Post-Market Quality Checks?
What about post-market surveillance? A big focus of the patient-led Strip Safely campaign? Well, the FDA currently does not have a provision for monitoring meters after they've been on the market for 12 months, and though they are "looking into it," it doesn't appear that this will change any time soon.
StripSafely founder Bennet Dunlap asked point-blank: "How can manufacturers justify making new meters with all these tight requirements and still compete with all the cheap low-quality stuff flooding the market?"
The answer here was a bit nebulous. Lias referred to "market forces" and competition. "This will be an issue for a little while. Devices have a lifespan… they can stretch for several years, but will eventually go away," she said. One can also assume that PWD consumers will begin to rely on the new labeling requirements that show product performance data.
Separate But Equal?
One final item Lias mentioned on the call was that some folks at the recent Diabetes Technology Society (DTS) meeting on glucose meter accuracy recommended creating separate accuracy criteria for meters aimed at type 1s versus type 2s. Not going to happen, of course. "Every person with diabetes deserves an accurate meter," Lias said, and we sighed collectively. "But performance data on the outer box labels will now help people choose the meter right for them," she added.
New research just published by the American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE) underscores the issue: 27 percent of patients with type 1 diabetes and roughly 9 percent with type 2 "had experienced health problems as a result of inaccurate glucose meter readings."
Meanwhile, we inquired with DTS founder Dr. David Klonoff, and learned there are "no updates yet" on a new steering committee that was supposed to be formed (backed by medtech industry group AdvaMedDx and others) to look at issues surrounding glucose meter accuracy and transparency in data reporting.
Patient Community Perspective
Both draft guidance documents remain in the open "public comment period" until April 7, 2014. The FDA wants community input! See below for links.
So what do the forces behind the patient-led advocacy initiative StripSafely think of the draft documents so far? Bennet says:
"I think the draft guidance is a very positive step. It is a reminder that there are many in FDA who are as driven to accuracy as the patient community.
"One of the most encouraging things is the draft is asking for a 'description of the lot release criteria.' I would love to see a similar ask for criteria to triggering medical device reports.
"StripSafely will have sample comments for the guidance docket after a more detailed review. In the meantime we look forward to trading ideas with the community about the strengths in the guidance and opportunities to suggest improvements. I strongly encourage all users to follow and engage in the conversation about the guidance. This conversation at DiabetesMine is certainly a solid start of that dialog."
Right — we need to have our say!
Lias made a point of saying that the FDA wants to hear not only what people don't like and want changed in these documents, but also what you DO like – which helps them get a better picture of what the community wants overall.
Here are the links to the actual documents and spots to leave comments for each (by 4/7/14):

In fact, for good stopmotion animation – which is our bread and butter – you need motion control for almost every shot. We have also shot pack shots – in both 2D and stereoscopic 3D – of almost every conceivable product with our small rig.
Now we have teamed up with Great Britains leading motion control company
Motion Control Cameras
to bring world-class motion control experience and technology to Germany and central Europe. We now have one of the Milos that shot the Harry Potter and James Bond films here in Hamburg for daily or weekly rental at reasonable rates. Ben Goldschmied, probably the worlds best motion control technician and beloved by directors, cameramen and producers, is in charge of operating the rig for commercial shoots.
The rig can be booked either through Stoptrick or Motion Control CamerasThe Milo is kept at K-Studios in Hamburg and we offer attractive deals if you book the studio and Milo together. But the Milo can be used at any studio and location that can be reached by automobile.
