"By 2007 there will be more than 3,000 establishments responsible for public healthcare in France: over 1,000 of them in the public sector and around 2,000 in the private sector. This is a highly sensitive sector, being one of those areas that can reap greatest benefit from the latest advances in information technology. And yet, regulations and confidentiality requirements, the constraints of cost control and in addition the emergence of a new patient monitoring system, are opening new horizons for managers in this sector. IDC analysts, market experts and health sector players will address all these issues that underlie the profound transformations taking place in the French healthcare system."
The program for the day is as follows:
• Users from the hospitals in the French cities of Reims and Lyon, and the regional health authority in Franche Comté will give accounts of their experiences in the field
• The Single Electronic Patient Record (DMP): driving computerization from 2006?
• Transforming hospital information systems
• Computerizing health care procedures
• Security of hospital information systems: a presentation by Hassan Maad, General Manager of Bull Evidian
• Activity-based healthcare tariffs, and HIS (hospital information systems).

Bull HPC User Convention 2006, Paris, France, September 28-29
The second Bull High Performance Computing User Convention will be held in Paris on September 28-29, 2006, in the unique setting of the Museum of Fairground Arts.
Computing is coming today to a new technological turn. With the processor clock frequency increasing at a slower pace, processors go multi-core to boost performance. Multi core processors offer more computing power, more density, at a reduced cost. However, making full use of the capacities of multi-core processors requires a fundamental rethinking of how to deliver performance. Speed is still important, of course, but parallelism is a must to efficiently distribute the workload between increasingly numerous cores. Optimizing code, tuning applications, choosing the best tools for the massive parallelism brought by multi core processors are key issues to maximize performance.
The Bull HPC User Convention will address these issues, through speakers from major HPC centres, Bull partners, and the Bull HPC Competence Centre. The Convention will also offer many opportunities to for informal exchange between experts from all horizons.

Local authorities are at the very heart of economic activity and at the center of the State's relationship with its citizens. Information and Communications Technology (ICT) provide a fantastic opportunity to further improve this key role in the society and strengthen their attractiveness in an increasingly globalized world.
Against this backdrop, what new services can they offer with the help of ICT? How can they prove their dynamism through the use of e-government (for example, in terms of creating employment, improving the quality of their services…)? What technologies are available for them to use? What skills do they need to implement them (change management, security, outsourcing, regulatory compliance, breaking down departmental barriers)?
All these subjects will be covered at a morning event organized by Bull, CIO and French IT magazine Le Monde Informatique on October 12, at the Pavillon Ledoyen in Paris.
André Santini, Deputy Mayor of the town of Issy-les-Moulineaux and Didier Lamouche, Bull Chairman and Chief Executive, will be attending.

The main theme of the day will be global virtualization of IT architectures, illustrated by customer case studies.

Bull is sponsor of the World eGov Forum which will be held in October at Issy-les-Moulineaux, France. It will represent a unique opportunity to showcase both the role and the impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the public sphere; to present public e-services and citizens' opinions to all types of publics. South Korea will be the guest of honor of the Forum. Approximately 30 countries will participate in various conferences.
Three plenary sessions, four conference themes and around 20 simultaneous round table discussions are organized around the central question: Which connected society do we want?
• E-inclusion: the real challenge to build the connected society that we want
• E-government as a strong issue of the governments transformation
• Re-invent democracy at the age of information: to a participatory democracy?
On October 18, Didier Lamouche, Bull's Chairman and CEO will be attending the opening session. Jean-Pierre Barbéris, General Manager, Bull Services and Solutions and Michel Lepert, General Manager, Bull Products and Systems will participate in round tables. The program is in progress.

Grey's Anatomy Round Table: "Walking on a Dream"by Courtney Morrison at . Comments
Welcome back to TV Fanatic's Grey's Anatomy Round Table!
Last week's Grey's Anatomy review broke down "Walking on a Dream" in great detail. Now, TV Fanatic staff members Sean McKenna, Christina Tran and Steve Marsi are back for a Q&A discussion of many of the episode's events. Read their answers below and weigh in with yours!
1. What was your favorite quote or scene from the episode?
Courtney: I loved all of Meredith's scenes where she kept crying. She was hilarious and so relatable!
Sean: Cristina fighting for the Africa program was funny. Her giving her little rant while everyone looked on as if they had no idea what she was doing was perfect. Granted, I had a feeling it wouldn't get cut, but Cristina finds a way to crack me up with her spitfire personality.
Steve: I'm always a sucker for Calzona so I'll go with their beach trip at the end.
2. If you had Alana's job, which part of the hospital are you cutting?
Courtney: She might be right with the ER. We don't see too many scenes down there anymore, so I wouldn't miss it too much.
Sean: I'm surprised she doesn't start cutting doctors yet. A lot of them must be making bank, and that's aside from the survivors getting their boatload of money, so taking out a few doctors might save the place a fair amount. Then again, who to cut? I guess I'm glad I'm not in her position because either way, Alana's gonna get to be the villain.
Steve: Sadly, the #1 way to get the red ink off the books is by cutting senior staff and overworking younger, lesser-paid staff. I hope this doesn't mean some of the senior-most surgeons are vulnerable on Grey's but there's no way someone in Alana's position wouldn't consider it. Other than that, she may want to pursue alternative treatments that involve less actual cutting. That sound you hear is Cristina bawling.
3. Ross is starting to get more screen time along with Jo. Who's your favorite intern?
Courtney: Smash Williams... I mean Dr. Ross! Love him! Jo is a close second.
Sean: Still Ross for sure. They've made him a little more stumbling and bumbling than I might have liked, but he's got a positive personality I can get behind. And maybe because he was on Friday Night Lights gives him a little edge in the competition for best intern.
Steve: Not to make this a total FNL love fest, because all of them are growing on me, but I love seeing Gaius Charles back on my screen. I also heart Kate Middleton, er, Camilla Luddington.
4. Was Bailey out of line with her money comment?
Courtney: Ehhh... not sure. I get where she's coming from but these are also her friends who have been through enough.
Sean: No, because really with $15 million, those doctors don't even have to work. I understand the circumstance behind the money given and it's not one that the survivors wanted, but if they were the first to lose their jobs it would be far less of a big deal. The real question will be whether or not that comment extends further and causes a rift between the doctors.
Steve: A little? Look, the settlement and its impact on the long-term situation of the hospital and the survivors is the farthest thing from clear cut. There's obviously going to be blowback, and some of it warranted. The real question, as Sean points out, is how deep that comment runs and whether this will issue will really fracture staff relations.
5. Should April go out with the cute paramedic or wait around for Jackson?
Courtney: Cute paramedic! Girlfriend can't sit around waiting for Jackson and his dreamy eyes.
Sean: Go with the cute paramedic. Jackson's not waiting around. I just hope she doesn't fall into the same trap with the new guy that she did with Jackson. Having sex then giving a frowny face followed by a "Jesus is mad at me. We can never do that again," probably won't keep them together. If anything, April needs to figure out exactly what she wants and stick to it.
Steve: Much as I like(d) April and Jackson together, you gotta go with cute paramedic here.
What do you all think of this week's Grey's Anatomy? Share your responses in the comments!
@rebecca, totally bitch! you... meh !!
@rebecca, totally agree with u !! arizona ... meh !!
While Bailey's comment was snarky, it's an issue that needs to be addressed. Fifteen million dollars (before taxes) is an enormous amount of money—and of course Meredith and Derek have 30 million. But these budget issues came up because of the insurance loophole; we didn't hear about them before. In any case, while the crash survivors have been through a lot, so have the others; Bailey faced the shooter and saved her patient and tried to save the intern. Her terror clearly had long-term impact on her, and (as far as we know), there was no monetary compensation. As for cutting things, the ER does seem like an odd place to start. Whatever happened to the clinic that Izzy put together with her inheritance from Denny? It wasn't meant to be an ER, though GA appears to have blended the two. The clinic would bleed money, but that was sort of its intention, and it had (has?) its own money source, at least to start it.
1.Mer's pregnancy hormone scenes were vintage GA.LOL. Love it :)
2.I've been wondering about the clinic too. Isn't that where the lesser emergencies should go,and those who don't have insurance.The writers seem to have forgotten the clinic. They're closing down Accident and Emergency (same as ERs) units in the UK.Not enough money to run them :((
3.None of them
4.Bailey is voicing the future resentment if people loose their jobs over the compensation.Won't the hospital appeal the amount of compensation? Won't Crowen's post divorce good realtionship make it look like they're after the money fraudulently?
@ rebbeca You may not like her/them but we are all fans here and we all have the same rights. This episode deserved clearly at least one question about Arizona. And it is SO obvious that they have ignore her/them that I repeat again: It is infuriating. By the way, I am straight.
has anyone here ever thought that its possible people simply dont like the arizona-callie pairing. not because they are homo phobic..but simply because its the weakest chemistry. im gay. and i still dont like arizonas character!! but yes...this episode was mainly about phantom limb pain.and that was overlooked by the critics here.
I cannot believe there wasn't a single question involving Arizona and her phantom limb. What is going on? And I also think that it's starting to get a bit homophobic, since it is very very rare to get a discussion here about Calzona. Stupid, ignorant and very insulting!!
1. I have no real favorite scenes but I enjoyed the last Calzona scene and definitely Yang's scenes who made me laugh a lot in this episode ! 2. Question, is the clinic still in place ? Can anyone tell me ? I'd cut that first if it still exists. I hope she's not gonna fire anybody, she seems to be on Richard's back already. 3. I like Jo but I wanna know more about Heather actually. 4. Bailey was right to say it cause there is no miracle solution to this money issue, but I didn't expect that line all of a sudden, it was really awkward ! 5. The paramedic, she can't treat Jackson right anyway and i'm sick of seeing their pathetic love relationship.
I also...don't understand how there was no discussion of Arizona's phantom pain..and her working with Owen to help her...I think Round Table should re-do this story...with a discussion of the actual episode not whatever they deem to be thought provoking which did not seem to be the same episode that I watched.
I find insulting that the phantom limb issue has no questions or comments and yes @ Cleo I do think it is a little homophobic. Come on!! It is always the same!! This guys are crazy about Merder and Owenstina and I understand that but it is SO obvious that this people ignore Callie and Arizona that it is disgusting and infuriating

Pets become stressed for many different reasons - travel, unfamiliar guests in the house, being separated during your absence, loud noises like thunder or fireworks, or even from sensing their owner's mood swings. Because your pet is sensitive to his physical and emotional environment, he may occasionally act out in response with excessive barking, inappropriate elimination, or even destructive chewing, scratching, or aggression. Fortunately you can help your pet deal with stress by lessening the root causes of the stress, and, as needed, using stress relievers.

Blind man barred from Dubai flight
An American citizen says he was barred from boarding a flight in Dubai because he is blind. Zuhair Mahmoud of Arlington, Va., tells The Associated Press the incident happened this morning when he tried to check-in for a FlyDubai flight to the Jordanian capital of Amman, where he planned a brief stay en route back to the United States.
"They looked at me and said: 'Well, we can't take you. ... You're traveling alone,' " he says to AP. Mahmoud tells the news agency he protested that assessment, asking employees at the United Arab Emirates-based carrier to double-check that policy with their supervisors.
That was to no avail. AP writes Mahmoud "said he was told that there was nothing they could do because it was airline policy not to allow a blind traveler onboard unaccompanied."
"I was mad. ... I couldn't believe it," the 37-year-old information technology specialist adds to the news agency. "I tried to reason with them, but I just got a single cold answer."
Left with few other options, Mahmoud went to a relative's house in Dubai until he could arrange another flight.
FlyDubai acknowledged the incident and has tried to make amends. FlyDubai CEO Ghaith al-Ghaith apologized for the incident, telling AP the airline does not have a policy of discriminating against disabled passengers. He pledged to rebook Mahmoud on another flight and give him a credit toward a future flight.
"This morning's events were extremely unfortunate and should not have happened," Al-Ghaith says in an e-mail to the AP. "We will conduct a full investigation to find out what went wrong in this situation and take all means necessary to ensure it does not happen again."
As for Mahmoud, he tells AP: "I'm probably not going to come back to Dubai ever unless I'm assured these sorts of things aren't going to happen anymore. The real test is how it's handled and how it's reacted to. Mistakes happen all the time. It's how you deal with them that defines who you are."

This rain bucket project took about 30 minutes to complete and cost me about $10.00 for the Trash can:
Tools Used:
Drill with 1″ Spade Bit
1 Sawsall
I purchased a basic vinyl trash can with a lid for about $10.00
I also purchased a 1″ PVC male adapter for about .32
You can find these at your local home improvement store
This will be the exit point for my hose
Location: I chose this location underneath a main downspout:
I removed the bottom part of the spout just high enough that it would drain into the Rain Bucket.
I then drilled a 1″ hole at the bottom of the Rain Barrel
I then used some standard pipe joint compound and put it on the threads and screwed the adapter from the inside.
Now that I have the exit for the hose, I am ready to cut the access for the downspout
Once I lined up the Downspout to the Rain Bucket, I marked the area and cut the hole using the Sawsall.
After some finagling, it was nice and tight.
I caulked around the opening to keep any mosquitoes or other critters from entering.
I cut another downspout opening from the top for an overflow. I caulked this opening as well.
I filled the Rain bucket with Water to test it all out.
I ran the hose down the hill for about 50 feet and tested the pressure…
Not Bad for my first attempt!

This park has tons of hiking trails. There are also horse riding and mountain biking trails. You could spend a week or more exploring all the different trails. We had a good laugh about hiking Hobe Mountain, the highest point in South Florida, which would be considered an ant hill back home. You can kayak and canoe the Loxahatcheee River and they also have river boat rides, but we couldn't go because we couldn't bring our dogs and you can't leave dogs alone at your site. You also can't leave them tied to a tree, as the trees there are very sensitive to damage that would allow bugs to penetrate and destroy the tree.
This park is also nicely placed for going to the beach, although there is only a small river beach in the park, which didn't look that inviting. Further, the nearby beaches at Jupiter and Hobe Sound (10-15 minute drive) had the added bonus of allowing dogs on the beach. Normally we have to hunt all over to find a beach, since we travel with our dogs. You are supposed to leave the dogs on leashes but many didn't. We compromised and used a long rope tied to their leashes.
The other good thing about this park is its location. You are in the wilderness one minute but drive 10 minutes outside the park in any direction and you hit a multitude of stores. That's good for us, since we couldn't bring all our groceries from Canada - you can't bring fresh meats, fruits, and vegetables across the U.S./Canada border.
The second campground we visited was our first experience with a private campground. We are not big fans of RV parking lots, even though we do have a trailer. We'd prefer to give up amenities to have some nature and space around us. Rock Crusher Canyon offered the best of both worlds. They did have some wide-open sites, but they also had quite a few very private, nature-y sites.
They too, had hiking trails, although not nearly as many. We did all of them in two fairly short hikes. But they also have a pool, hot tub, horsehoes, a fenced dog park, basketball court, playground, and much more. There is also electricity, sewer, and water at all the sites. But, the best perk is all the activities.
Many seniors vacation for the winter at this campground. These wonderful seniors have banded together to form an association that puts on many activities each day. At the ripe old age of 40, we felt like we were kids crashing the activities, but boy oh boy, do those seniors love to have a good time! They were just like teenagers! We attended an ice cream social, a spaghetti dinner night, and a dance. We didn't take part in any of the other sessions because we were too busy exploring, but some of the options were computer training, scrapbooking, poker night, bridge night, bingo, bike rides, and canoe trips. We loved it so much we extended our stay to just over a week and got charged not very much more, as they have reasonable longer-term rates.
This is not a sandy-beach part of Florida – the low tides create marshland rather than sandy beaches. However, this makes for fabulous hiking and nature sighting. And happily, within a 20-minute drive of Rock Crusher park there are state parks (Crystal River and Crystal River Preserve) with miles and miles of hiking trails.
One of the most exciting things about this part of Florida is the manatees that live in the area rivers. We didn't have time to do a swim with the manatees, but others we met had and said it was a fabulous experience. There are several companies that offer guided tours. However, did go see manatees at Hommosassa Springs Wildlife State Park. They are beautiful creatures! The park also showcases many other animals native to Florida. I usually dislike zoos, but I could tolerate this one because the animals had, for the most part, been rescued and for one reason or another could not be released to the wild. The manatees, unless they are injured, are free in the rivers throughout the park. You view them either from river viewing docks or a cool, underwater viewing tank. They put this tank in many years ago and to not affect the wildlife used bananas as 'grease' to slide it into place in the water. How cool is that?
Did I miss going to Disney? Yes, but it's not what we needed this trip. We really needed to recharge our batteries and the camping, beach-going, and hiking did that. We saw so many different creatures and so much different plant life, I still go back and look at the pictures to gaze at the fabulous things we saw. We are planning another trip this February and I think I we will be again recharging our batteries with a big dose of Florida camping. Maybe we will get a chance to do some of that camping at my beloved Fort Wilderness (I just wish they offered the Free Disney Dining Plan to those of us who love to camp).

Freebies and Washing and Blood Counts, Oh My!
Jan Chait
February 17, 2009
I feel the urge to write about meters. It all began last week when I got a phone call and — for a little while — thought I'd found you a deal.
The offer? A free meter and free strips. The company just wants people to be able to manage their diabetes, the caller said. Poor guy didn't know who he'd called: A former newspaper reporter who has a tendency to ask a lot of questions.
No, there was no cost, he said. The meter and strips were paid for by the company. Media rep and phone number? Why, it was he, he said, giving me a name and phone number. (He was calling from Florida: The phone number he gave me had a West Virginia area code.)
Finally, I decided I would bite and gave him the information he needed to send me a free meter and strips. Then came the "catch."
"What's your Medicare ID number?" he asked.
"I'm not on Medicare."
"It's usually your social security number," he responded. "Do you know that offhand?
"Yes," I replied, "but I'm not going to give it to you."
End of "free" meter and strips offer.
I reported him to my state's attorney general's office.
What would we do without our meters? My Type 2 diagnosis came after meters were beginning to become common, so I have no history of managing my blood glucose without one. Wait a minute: Yes, I do. The doctor who diagnosed me did not tell me to check my glucose. It was nine years before I got to a doctor who told me to check. At that point, my HbA1c was 17.4%. I'd hardly call that managing my blood glucose.
I was supposed to follow a "diabetic diet" to keep my glucose in range. Like that lasted more than about two weeks. I like it better today, when I can count carbohydrates and adjust my insulin dose based on what I eat and what my beginning number is.
But I digress. Let's talk about accuracy. After all, if we don't have a somewhat accurate number displayed on our meters, we could make a serious error — such as correcting for a high that doesn't exist.
Several things can affect the accuracy of that number on your meter. Food on your hands probably is the first thing that comes to mind.
At the American Association of Diabetes Educators meeting in Washington, D.C., in August 2008, a certified diabetes educator (CDE) who does not have diabetes checked her blood glucose with nice, clean hands and registered 80 mg/dl after washing her hands with soap and water.
With lotion on her hands it was 87 mg/dl. With milk and with raspberries, 92 mg/dl; peanut butter got her a 94 mg/dl; red peppers, 117; sweet wine, 122; grapes, 447 (which went down to 132 mg/dl after wiping — but not washing — her hands).
Make sure you wash with soap and water, too, and not that hand gel stuff: One of her clients was getting higher readings during the week than on weekends. The difference? He used hand gel at work and soap and water at home on weekends.
Where you store your test strips can make a difference, too. Somewhere in my notes of interesting things I run across and store in my computer or write down (on everything from real paper to napkins and chewing gum wrappers) is the following from a few years ago that comes from a meeting of the American Diabetes Association:
In a study using Accu-Chek strips, researchers found that strips stored in a plastic bag or some other container instead of the vial they come in registered 122 mg/dl when a new strip was used. After one day of exposure it was 125 mg/dl. Fast forward to seven days, when a strip from the exposed batch showed 228 mg/dl. After 14 days, that number increased to 321 mg/dl.
That said, you might not want to store your strips in a baggie. The vials they come in are pretty airtight. They'd probably be good to keep matches in for camping.
And, finally, something you might not even know about can affect your numbers: Your hematocrit, or HCT.
So, you ask, what's a hematocrit, how do I find out what mine is, and what's the big deal, anyway?
Your hematocrit is the percentage of your blood that's comprised of red blood cells. Each meter has a hematocrit range and, if your HCT is out of range for your meter, it could affect the results. Anemia and dehydration are two things that can affect HCT. Another is chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD). Too much squeezing can, too.
How can you tell what your HCT is? Ask your doctor. Chances are your physician has ordered a complete blood count, or CBC, at some point. Your hematocrit is a part of the CBC.
And how do you find out what your meter's HCT range is? Look through the literature that comes with the meter, do an Internet search for [meter name] and "hematocrit," or call the meter company. The number is usually on the back of the meter.
LifeScan says hematocrit levels of less than 30% may cause falsely high readings, and hematocrit levels of more than 55% can result in false lows.
While I was at the AADE meeting in Washington, D.C., in August, one meter company representative was anxious to tell me that the WaveSense Presto compensated for differences in hematocrit levels, even if they were out of range. (He brought it up, not me.)
Oh — one more thing. In case you didn't know (I didn't for a long time), your insurance will kick in for meters and strips. Just ask your health-care professional to write a prescription for them. Yes, I know they're not prescription items, but you won't get reimbursement if you don't have a prescription.
While there's no such thing as a free lunch (or meter — even with the free ones, you'll pay for it in the cost of strips), you can get one by watching for coupons, asking your CDE, or even calling a meter company and begging. Whatever you do, however, don't give out your social security number to strangers.
When I was first diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in November 2005, I immediately ran out and bought a glucose meter and strips. I got the meter almost free with a discount coupon but paid $99.00 for 100 strips. After buying the second box of 100 strips, I said there must be a better way and spoke with my pharmacist. He told me my medical insurance would pay for the strips with a prescription from my doctor. Since then I have my doctor prescribe the strips just like a medication. The only caveat I have to offer is that in my case, the prescription must be written specifically for the strips used by my brand of meter, not just a generic strip.
Posted by: lscroggs | Feb 18, 2009 03:10 PM
When I was diagnosed in 1995 my family doctor sent me to diabetic education class almost immediately. One of the things they told us was to be sure to get our doctors to write prescriptions for those test strips. Depending on your insurance coverage that could be a difference of $75 per month or box. My strips are not generic and so my co-pay for them is $25 per box. Compared to the first box I bought at $100 a box I was more than happy to pay the $25. Now anytime I meet someone who is diabetic. Whether they are newly diagnosed or an old survivor I try to remember to ask them if they are getting prescriptions for those most important items. I have had many friends and family thank me for this information. It really helps. You can get a meter for free or for less than $20 because the companies know they will make up their money on test strips. I am happy to say that I have only paid full price for 1 box. I don't know about the cost with Social Security but it would be well worth it to check it out.
Posted by: Cathy | Feb 18, 2009 03:52 PM
Most of the companies that say they have a free meter and test strips are usually trying to pass of older type meters and strips and after a certain time you would probably have to get a new meter because those strips have been discontinued. I think most insurance will pay for strips with the RX and if you need 200 strips they will adjust their guidelines and you can get the amount of strips your doctor says you need. You would just pay copays like for your other RX items. I'am not on medicare so do not know if it will pay as good as regular group insurance.
Posted by: Mrs Jim Bly | Feb 18, 2009 06:51 PM
I've never paid for meter or strips. My 1st meter was given to me in the Drs office, along with a few strips in the starter kit, and a prescription for strips. I registered the meter with the company (Bayer) and they have sent me offers for new meters twice since then. All I've had to do is accept the offer, and they send me a new meter. They also provide free log books and control solution on request. I would guess most other companies do the same, but I've been really happy with my Bayer meters.

Medicare will pay for test strips in the quantity prescribed by your doctor.
Posted by: Ben | Feb 20, 2009 01:56 PM
You've touched upon a lot of sensitive issues in this post, Jan.
Posted by: tmana | Feb 20, 2009 07:09 PM
is there any way to get free control solution? my insurance will not pay for it. and cvs wants 12.00+ for it with a rx. you would think that if your insurance is willing to fork out the money for the strips, they would want to make sure that your meter was working properly and the results were accurate.
Posted by: srtasa | Feb 21, 2009 09:12 PM
srtsa, I have gotten control solution (free) from my meter company. There should be a toll-free number on the back of your meter. It's been awhile, so it may have been that they asked me during a phone call on another matter if I had cheked the meter with control solution and admitted I didn't have the solution. I don't recall the circumstances, but it doesn't cost anything to ask.

Does anyone know if the generic glucose monitors like walgreens, kroger,walmart compare favorably to the more expensive one touch, accucheck etc?
Posted by: Ginny Scaglione | Aug 18, 2010 02:30 PM
Ginny, as I recall, the stores do not make their own meters: The meters are made by a "regular" meter company, but carry the store's brand. It's akin to Wal-Mart's ReliOn insulin — which is really made by Novo Nordisk. That said, all meters have to meet the same standards when it comes to accuracy. Usually, the difference between store brand and name brand meters is that the store brands don't have all the "bells and whistles" of the name brands. Using the ReliOn/Novo Nordisk analogy again, ReliOn only offers Regular, NPH, and 70/30 insulin, whereas the name brand Novo Nordisk includes the newer insulins, such as NovoLog and Levemir. The Diabetes Mall has a list of meters and their features at http://tinyurl.com/29hjb2a, but it does not rate them. Jan Chait

reviews & comments (88)
We made this with what we had on hand, so used 12oz. garlic chicken sausage instead of kielbasa, fresh thyme instead of marjoram, 5 leeks instead of 4, and a carrot the size of 2 normal ones. Like other reviewers, we sauteed the veggies in oil instead of butter but definitely used butter in the roux. We also took theodoreschreiner's advice and put the potatoes in early, with the broth. In addition, I sauteed the (precooked) sausage to brown it before putting it in. And after adding the broth to the roux, I removed two cups of vegetables (and a little broth) and pureed them with the immersion blender to make the soup a little thicker - I think it would have been good without that but in the photo it looked thinner than I wanted it to be. Yum! everyone ate it up (except the picky 13-year-old, but that can't be helped.)
We have made this several times, usually don't do the roux seperatley, just cook the leeks & carrots in some butter (2 or 3 tablespoons) then sprinkle the flour over them, stir for a few minutes then add stock. I always use baby potatoes, cut across in slices, I like the way they look and taste with this. Sage is a nice addition, I never use tarrogon, just don't care for it.
I literally threw this together from what I had in the house a couple days before payday, so I had to do some substitutions. I had no celery and no marjoram and I had russets instead of boiling potatoes. I substituted thyme for the tarragon, left out the celery and used the potatoes I had. I use olive oil for my "fat of choice" whenever possible, so I sauted the veggies in olive oil, not butter. I also used a heart-healthy margarine in the roux instead of butter. If I had any issues at all with the recipe, it's in the instructions for the roux. Cook a glob of flour smoothly blended into the margarine for 3 minutes while whisking? I gave up after 2 minutes of nothing happening and all the roux inside the balloon of the whisk. Dear hubby liked this recipe. The quantity made is generous and he has leftovers for lunch. When I asked if I should make it again, I got an enthusiastic yes.
I loosely followed the recipe and skipped the thickening part. My husband likes thin broth. We thought it was ok.
I have made this soup many times, each time fiddling with the ingredients. I have added cabbage and kale... both are good but I think the cabbage goes better. I use bulk sausage instead of links and poor off the fat. I have never had an issue with it being too buttery... but I love butter. Double the carrot, celery, and marjoram!
Used some hot Italian Sausage instead and browned it before as others suggested an also used a total of 3/4 stick of butter and didn't taste overly buttery (I didn't skip on the roux). Also used 3 links of sausage which was key. 1 cup is not enough. Really nice hearty soup which my husband loved and ended up having 3 large bowls of it. Definitely will make again
we loved this recipe but made a few changes. reduced the butter that the veggies were cooked in, doubled all the veggies, cooked sausage until very brown and drained fat off. added garlic salt and italian herb blend. GREAT! for left overs we extended the soup by adding diced ham and some great northern beans- even better!! we are making this for Christmas eve this year
This soup is just okay. Not bad, but not great either. I agree with lots of previous reviewers, wayy too much butter. I cut out a couple Tb in the beginning, and it was still a little greasy. Think this soup would benefit from thickening with another potato or two mashed up. Also could have used more marjoram or another spice.
Excellent soup! Always a rave when I make it. Would recommend adding the potatoes in when the first broth is added---to give them the full 1/2 hour cooking time. Makes them softer. And I prefer the peel ON the potatoes--so we don't peel them. And also I like to double the celery and carrots in this soup.
I'm giving the recipe itself only 2 stars because I changed things a slight bit and loved the outcome. But I truly think the changes added to the dish. I cubed the sausage and sauted it until brown. Then added a few tablespoons of butter and a little evoo and sauted the veggies per the recipe. Then I deglazdd the pan with the chicken stock. I didnt use as much of the roux and added parlsy, cream and a squeeze or two of lemon in the end. Turned out really well. Served with herb and cheese buiscuits. I agree that decreasing the butter is key, otherwise it could get too heavy. Adding more sausage and sauteing it is also key for more flavor.

Looking around the NFL at ex-Buccaneers
This is the sort of article that I have been writing around this time for nearly two decades. As soon as the NFL opening day rosters appear, I take a look around the other NFL teams to look at former Buccaneers or players with Tampa Bay connections that are plying their trade elsewhere in the league. And 2008 is no different with no less than 30 former Bucs taking the field in the colours of other teams, six of whom are of course in Detroit, or Tampa North as it is going be known. Rod Marinelli obviously decided to try and re-create the Tampa-2 defense in the Motor City but has made one fatal flaw in that he is doing it with players who are either past their prime or never even had one.
Chartric Darby, Brian Kelly, Ryan Nece, Kalvin Pearson, Dwight Smith, Dewayne White have all followed Marinelli into the NFC North and all of them could well be following him out of the door if the Lions continue in the form they showed in Week 1 against the Falcons.
Close behind the Lions in terms of numbers are the Denver Broncos who boast four former Bucs on their roster. Well, OK one of them, Hamza Abdullah (who sounds like a member of the European branch of Al-Qaeda) was only a draft pick but all Buc fans will remember Michael Pittman, Nate Webster and even Jamie Winborn in red and pewter.
For the first time since 1993, there is no Vinny Testaverde on the list of ex-Buc quarterbacks in this article, but Brad Johnson in Dallas and now Chris Simms in Tennessee keep the Pewter passing interest. And for toting the load, the Saints have Aaron Stecker with Baltimore's Lorenzo Neal and Buffalo's Darian Barnes to do the blocking.
Tight end is the most popular ex-Buc position with the likes of Anthony Becht, Will Heller, Daniel Wilcox and Todd "Lee Bromfield clone" Yoder all holding roster spots entering the 2008 season. For recognisable names, you can have Dexter Jackson (the other one) in Cincinnati or Joe "You go Joe" Jurevicius in Cleveland.
The longest ex-Buc association remains K John Carney whose latest stop is with the New York Giants. Carney was originally an inactive and non-roster member of the 1987 strike team, but did make both the 1988 and 1989 rosters for brief appearances in relief of an injured Donald Igwebuike. And if we are talking kickers, then we have to include Martin "FUAT" Gramatica. As this is a family publication, I can only reveal that two of the letters relate to "Useless Argentinian". For the other two, answers on a postcard to the usual address.
For the record, 13 teams have no former Bucs on their roster, most surprisingly Indianapolis with Tony Dungy holding the reins.

"Baby's Bill"
Dear Senator/Congressman, I am writing to urge you to vote yes on "Baby's Bill" (H.R. 6949/S. 3519) which will ban the cruel and inhumane confinement of breeding dogs in cages at puppy mills. Animals deserve to walk and run outdoors and not be locked in cages 24 hours a day, driven insane from lack of socialization and physically disabled from lack of exercise. Your vote will be a step in the right direction to reform this cruel industry. As one of your constituents who cares about promoting a more humane society, this vote means a great deal to me. Thank you.

Comments about Womens Nike LunarGlide+ 5 Running Shoe:
Wore out my Asics training for a marathon. Although very cushioned, the Asics always felt heavy and threw my balance off. As soon as I slipped these puppies on my time improved by over 1:00/per mile, no joke. Balance is perfect near the front of my foot, comfortable. Ran 20 miles the 2nd week I got them and had no discomfort or chafing. No breaking in time needed, these feel great. I'm going to use them for my marathon in 2 weeks. Other reviewers say they wear out fast, I haven't had them long enough to tell, but they will last long enough to serve their purpose for my marathon.

If you're a frequent traveller or you find over-ear headphones uncomfortable, then in-ear headphones offer great sound for a relatively small price. Sennheiser has always been the "go-to" brand for portable headphones, and its original CX-300 was one of the most popular in-ear models on the market.
Sennheiser has upgraded the headphones with the promise of "greater clarity and improved dynamics" and features high-quality dynamic speaker systems. None of the fancy "custom-tuned armature drivers" of more expensive sets but based on our listening tests, they are indeed "high quality".

Obama 2nd Term Predicted to See Continued Clean Tech Push
Published: 08-Nov-2012
SANTA MONICA, California — As President Obama begins to shape his legacy after Tuesday's re-election, his agenda could include a renewed push to promote electric cars — and a greater interest in hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles.
Obama did not spell out any plans for the auto industry after waging a successful re-election campaign, but he earlier had set a goal of having 1 million electric vehicles on the road by 2015. The $85-billion auto- industry bailout and the renewed health of General Motors and Chrysler appeared to be a major factor in Obama's re-election.
The president's clean-energy vehicle agenda is expected to rev up in his second term.

Definitions for daybedˈdeɪˌbɛd
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word daybed
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
a couch that can be used as a sofa by day and a bed by night.
Category: Furniture
a couch, esp. of the 17th or 18th century, in the form of a chaise longue.
Category: Furniture
Origin of daybed:
Princeton's WordNet
daybed, divan bed(noun)
an armless couch; a seat by day and a bed by night
chaise longue, chaise, daybed(noun)
a long chair; for reclining
a couch that can be used as a sofa by day and a bed by night
long chair for reclining
Daybeds are used as beds as well as for lounging, reclining and seating in common rooms. Their frames can be made out of wood, metal or a combination of wood and metal. They are a cross between chaise longue, couch and a bed. Daybeds typically feature a back and sides and come in Twin Size. Often daybeds will also feature a trundle to expand sleeping capacity. Many of today's daybeds employ a linkspring as the support system for the mattress. The linkspring is a rectangular metal frame with cross supports. A wire or polyester / nylon mesh held in place by a network of springs lays across the top of the linkspring. The linkspring design provides support and creates clearance underneath a daybed for storage. A recent development in infant beds is a bed that converts into a daybed by the removal of one side, ensuring the furniture is useful for more than a couple of years.

things i'm digging…
1. YouTube Workouts.
I seriously needed to dance it out when I got home from work the other day, so I did some searching on YouTube and pulled together a playlist of my favorite Zumba videos. And now I'm totally hooked to finding workouts on YouTube! I love it because I can totally customize it. Want to learn some hip hop dance routines? It's out there. Want to do a kettlebell set? It's out there, too! Fun. And free!
2. Documentaries on Netflix.
We have really been into watching documentaries on Netflix lately. So many good and interesting things to learn about. We've recently watched Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead (some interesting points, but a little too fad diet-y for me), 180° South (LOVED it! Made us want to pack up and travel.), Food Matters (made me want to eat more raw foods), Food Fight (made me think I should really try to focus more on local foods) and the Prohibition series (really interesting, but a bit tedious to get through). There are so many more on there I want to see. I love learning!
3. Quinoa.
I've been eating quinoa off and on for a few years, but ever since I found out quinoa was a complete protein (thanks to my nutrition class this semester) I've been downing the stuff like it's my job. I'm absolutely loving cold quinoa salads in particular. Such great flavor and so incredibly good for you! And once they are made, so easy to just grab and go from the fridge.
4.Nuun Tablets.
My sister has sworn by these hydration tablets for a few months now, but I finally got around to trying them this past weekend and let me tell you, it was love at first sip! They are a great way to get the electrolyte benefits of sports drinks without the added sugars and carbs. The flavors are great and they are so easy to use—just drop a tablet into 16 ounces of water, wait a few minutes and you've got a sports drink! I like them so much, I bought a lifetime supply (that, and they were on clearance at my grocery store). They will be perfect for long hikes in the hot summer heat and to use during our Avon Walk next month in Chicago. Yay, Nuun!
5. My May reward system.
Seriously kids, this plan is working like a charm. I am hydrated, exercised and accountable for my food. It's amazing how much motivation comes from the thought of possible losing a dollar. I actually got up, dragged Babyface off the couch and went for a walk at 9pm on Friday night between thunderstorms because I so desperately wanted my gold star and my dollar for the day. I want a gold star EVERY DAY. Yes, I realize I have the same motivating factors as an eight-year-old. What of it? It works.

My loves:
Vegetarian lunches, specifically, quinoa with roasted zucchini, summer squash, mushroom, red onion and garlic topped with goat cheese. I flirt with the idea of going vegetarian but love a good burger every now and then and have a fiancé who is so not adventurous and won't consider having a meat-free dinner. Solution: vegetarian lunches!
Looking up homemade cold-brewed ice coffee tips and tricks (so I don't have to go broke at Starbucks or replace my broken coffeemaker). Next project: making my own vanilla syrup for it.
Doug and I watch documentaries on Netflix, too. He's really into historical stuff, so we watch a lot of that type. Some are amazing, some not so much. And obviously these days I'm into pregnancy/baby related ones. I also always like documentaries about the earth and planets.
LOVE this list! Great minds think alike. Watched some fab documentaries this winter break…and you've reminded me to pull up the latest offerings. Fun to watch with my kids too, b/c we can pause them and they can ask questions.
OMG! I am obsessed with documentaries on Netflix! In fact, I just started watching Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead JUST LAST NIGHT! I even brought my Kindle fire to the office with me today so I could listen to the rest of it while I work! It's just so funny you mentioned this because I was totally going to mention that documentary in my own blog today. ha! I like most of the health, social documentaries they have to offer on Netflix. Always something new to learn!
It was love at Food Inc… We have been watching documentaries on Netflix ever since. I especially love finding a new food one that I haven't seen before. It's exhilarating! And thanks for the heads up on the you tube work outs. Love that idea. Have a great day!
Ooo thanks for the tip on the Nuun tablets – I'm going to have to search those out.
I LOVE your little chart!
I also love youtube workouts and quinoa!! Cold quinoa salads are some of my favourite.
Never heard of nuun tabs! Tanks!! Did you know that Netflix intant also has workouts? I relly like the Crunch series of yopi type workouts. They can really kick your butt!
We bought a juicer after watching Fat, Sick! Although we didn't go juice only!
I put a sticker on my calendar every day I exercise and it is really motivating. The thought of having to skip a day and have this glaring empty spot really keeps me on track. Who would've thought the gold stars of kindergarden would still work now?
Orange Nuun is my FAVORITE! It's like a special treat after a workout. Love Nuun! And, maybe this is TMI, but I really feel it helps my body better utilize the water I drink. Instead of having to run to the restroom every hour, my body regulates itself much better when I drink a Nuun tablet once a day.
