We all know the stereotype of someone newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes: an overweight adult, lethargic and unhealthy, right? Wrong. Just as society is still unclear on who can get type 1 diabetes (adults too!), type 2 diabetes is rising at alarming rates among children. Even if you don't typically think this topic affects you personally, remember that all of these newly diagnosed young people with type 2 will become part of our diabetes community quicker than you think. So we thought it was worth some closer examination — especially for the parents, who are most likely new to diabetes too.
A recent infographic from GOOD Magazine shows that obesity rates in children have doubled in the last 10 years, and in 2005, an estimated 30-40% of those children were at-risk or had type 2 diabetes.
Melinda Sothern, a professor at Louisiana State University Health and Sciences Center and who has studied obesity in children, says that she has seen children as young as 7 years old with insulin resistance. This is not something that just might "kick in" later — it's starting now and it's starting young.
Despite Michelle Obama's campaign on childhood obesity, the issue of type 2 diabetes in teens and children is still not very visible. Over the past several years, the NIH conducted the TODAY trial (Treatment Options for type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents and Youth) to explore the best treatment strategies. Starting in 2004, the trial was conducted at 13 sites around the country, where enrolled kids and their families got free diabetes care, medical exams, medicines, and testing supplies. The trial has already ended, but we're still waiting on the results, expected to be announced sometime next year, most likely at the ADA Scientific Sessions in June.
Another attempt to raise awareness about this issue was made on World Diabetes Day in 2009, when PBS launched a site called MyType2 which featured "video diaries" of seven teens with type 2 diabetes. But now in 2011, the project is no longer active and only some of the videos are available. Bummer. The videos that are still up are heartfelt, as the teens discuss what it's like to find out that they have type 2 diabetes and the struggles they've encountered in learning to take care of themselves.
"When I got diabetes, I thought it was something that only older people got," Misty, an 18-year-old college freshman, explained. "It took a good year to completely understand what was going on with me… Diabetes is only a problem if you don't take care of it."
"Even though I had all these warnings from nutritionists, my mind was blown," Donareese, who was diagnosed with pre-diabetes at 15, said. "I knew exactly what would happen, and yet I did it anyway. I can't explain to you why I didn't do anything. When I got the test results back, reality set in."
The myth that type 1 diabetes only affects children has been squashed, and now it's time to revise our thinking that type 2 diabetes only affects older folks, just as Misty thought. With obesity being a primary risk factor for diabetes, plus a whole host of other conditions, like high blood pressure and high cholesterol, we're left wondering: How do you approach the sensitive topic of type 2 diabetes? i.e. How do you talk about weight and food with a child?
We decided to query some top experts in the field of type 2 diabetes and nutrition to find out what they recommend:
Dr. Francine Kaufman, Chief Medical Officer and Vice President of Global Clinical Affairs for the Diabetes business of Medtronic, and author of Diabesity
"My first piece of advice is to discuss with the heathcare provider what their weight and BMI is. If it's over 85%, that's overweight, over 95% is obese, and 99% is morbidly obese.
"Some children with type 2 diabetes are treated with metformin, which is the only approved drug for children, as is insulin. Other drugs are not approved, but that doesn't mean they aren't used.
"Understand the importance of monitoring blood glucose. For children, it's not as infrequent as with adults, mainly because more children with type 2 are on insulin, so they should usually test at least four times a day. From there, children with type 2 have more co-morbidities, like hypertension. There's also a risk for sleep apnea. Girls can have polycystic ovarian syndrom. It's a significant disease in children in that, overall, it can have more co-morbidities and earlier complications than children who have type 1.
"Children with type 2 diabetes also have more depression. You should determine if your child is depressed and discuss with your healthcare professional to assess the situation. A lot of these children do need psychological counseling to deal with depression or being teased. Most children who are told they have a chronic disease need help to get adjusted to that. Positive rewards for children is helpful. Adults work for positive results — it's called a paycheck. Negative rewards don't work so well, but positive rewards do."
Erinn T. Rhodes, MD, MPH, Director of the Type 2 Diabetes Program, Children's Hospital Boston
"Reducing risk for type 2 diabetes and managing it in kids both require a focus on healthy lifestyle. A great way for parents to promote a healthy lifestyle for their children is to model healthy lifestyle behaviors themselves. Creating a healthy home environment by keeping temptations out of the home is also very helpful. Specific healthy behaviors we encourage include increasing physical activity, reducing screen time, eating meals at regular times together as a family, and watching portion size. Parents should encourage their children to target small, realistic goals for changes in their diet or physical activity that will result in gradual improvements.
"A diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and the added responsibilities of taking medication and checking blood sugars can feel overwhelming for a child. Kids, even teenagers, shouldn't have to manage their diabetes alone. However, every family is different, so it's important that adolescents and young adults feel empowered to ask for help with their diabetes management when and how they need it. Managing diabetes is about planning and balance. For some adolescents, these are difficult skills and so the support of parents, friends, and the medical team can be really important."
Kelly Lowry, Medical Psychologist, Children's Memorial Hospital
"I do not recommend a focus on weight. The number on a scale isn't a behavior and is the result of so many things (food intake, energy output, fluid volumes, typical growth and development). I recommend keeping the focus on healthy 'do' behaviors (e.g., try a new vegetable every week, try to be active every day) versus 'don't' behaviors (e.g, don't watch television, don't eat certain foods). The overall messages are more positive this way and tend to lead to opportunities for goals that are fun or inspire.
"Finally, perhaps the most important piece of information that I share with parents is to be a good role model. Live your life the way you want your children to live. No one likes feeling like s/he is the only one in the family who has to make changes. If these changes are new for your child, make them a family focus and talk about why these changes are beneficial for ALL family members. If eating yummy healthy foods and having fun through active play are normal everyday activities for your family, they will become normal everyday routines for your child."
Dr. Emily Israel, Associate Director of Patient Care at the New Balance Foundation Center for Obesity Prevention Boston Children's Hospital
"I think focusing on weight alone is a very tricky issue with children. We often place many judgments on individuals' weight, which often have negative implications on patients' self-efficacy and feelings of self-worth.
"Instead of focusing on the topic of weight, we encourage our families to focus on overall health and wellness. This helps take a lot of the judgments and feelings of guilt out of the conversation. Children don't often understand how food and exercise and healthy lifestyle behaviors can positively impact all areas of their life. It is important for parents/adults to help children understand that food/exercise/healthy are not things we have to focus on because the children are 'bad' (a judgment) but because it will help enhance their lives, help them feel better, and help them live longer with less medical issues.
"Usually when parents become worried about weight they focus on encouraging children/teens to restrict food. It's important to encourage kids to eat more NUTRITIOUS foods and to understand that they can enhance their body's performance (school, energy, mood, attention) if they get more nutrients. In addition, they will find that exercise often helps them feel better with mood, attention, and sleep better (which is important as sleep is the foundation for health). It is important to try to encourage kids to feel positive about their bodies instead of focusing on what they need to change."
Melinda Sothern, Ph.D., Professor at LSU Health Sciences Center
"The younger child, the more the parent is in complete control of the home, school, social interactions. The child doesn't have a lot of autonomy. The mother controls the food in the house, what activities the child participates in home, the scheduling, when they have access to snack foods, what kind of sports are they engaging in. Working slowly to make changes actually works better. You do baby steps. In the first week you make a goal not to bring soda in to the house, buy 2% milk, and make family dinner on Saturday. Next week is not to bring candies or cookies into the house and try one new vegetable. Each week you add another strategy, and a child doesn't even know it has anything to do with weight. You can say you're doing this because you saw something on TV or an article or the other parent saw something. You can relate these behavior and changes something other than weight.
"In teens, it's trickier. They want autonomy and are at odds with parents. They are already feeling pretty bad and getting teased and have low self-esteem. It's affecting their social interaction and functioning, academics. Teens who are overweight are at a huge disadvantage. Parents do need to approach teens, but don't talk about weight. Talk about the risk for diabetes. The best place to do this in presence of an endocrinologist or diabetes educator or dietician. The parents will have a team behind them to help emphasize that this isn't about aesthetics, this is about your future life."
Lynn Polmanteer, RD, Friedman Diabetes Institute
"Parents need to be aware of how much sugar and calories are in juice, juice-like beverages, regular soda, and sports drinks. All of these sugary beverages all are loaded with calories, which can lead to weight gain. Since these drinks are so concentrated they also spike blood sugar. A better option is to eat a piece of fruit and drink a glass of water or seltzer.
"It's important to focus on the fact that nutrition and exercise play a vital role in the management of type 2 diabetes. To optimize diabetes control, snacking on fruit, vegetables, and low-fat cheese is better than grabbing chips and cookies on-the-go. Making meals together as a family is healthier than eating calorie-rich fast food. Limiting the daily use of electronics (TV, computer, video games) is suggested. It's ideal for children to get physical activity on a daily basis such as dancing, sledding, swimming, basketball and biking."
We noticed some repetitive themes here, ay? Good advice for everyone trying to live healthier.
Kelly Lowry also shared a couple of books for parents and children who are dealing with weight and self-esteem issues. For parents, she recommends I'm Like, So Fat! Helping your Teen Make Healthy Choices about Eating and Exercise in a Weight-Obsessed World by Dianne Neumark-Sztainer, Ph.D. For children struggling with self-esteem issues, she suggests I Want Your Moo: A Story for Children about Self-Esteem by Marcella Bakur Weiner & Jill Neimark and You Are Important by Todd Snow.
Overall, it's clear that healthy living is a family mission. When it's the child dealing with type 2 diabetes, just like with type 1, the whole family needs to work together to make the right changes. If your child was diagnosed with pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes, we'd love to hear how you handled this sensitive yet vitally important information with your child.

text: Webber low on fuel during Vettel attack in Malaysia 6 April, 2013 Sebastian Vettel versus Mark Webber at Sepang Almost two weeks after the fact, the Multi-21 Red Bull team orders affair keeps stumbling onwards as new information emerges. Auto Motor und Sport now reports a new fact: just as Sebastian Vettel ignored the team order to hold station, Mark Webber had turned down his engine because he was saving fuel. "The truth in Formula 1 usually only comes to light piecemeal," said correspondent Michael Schmidt. It was already known that the chasing Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg were having fuel-saving issues. But Red Bull claimed it issued the team order because it was worried about the drivers burning up their fragile Pirelli tyres and being swallowed up by their silver rivals. "Obviously there was more to it than what Red Bull wanted to say," Schmidt added. "Apparently in the first 42 laps Webber had consumed clearly more fuel than Vettel and was already in the red. "Vettel was also able to drive in (Webber's) slipstream for 12 laps and use DRS. "So Red Bull not only feared an accident, but also that Webber could run out of gas. So he was asked to turn down his performance just to get to the line." Tweet Related NewsMarko: With a better engine we would be at the top, but we have 80 horsepower deficitFuel flow sensor problems persist for Red Bull in MalaysiaRicciardo: I'm really disappointed, but at the same time there's a little bit in me which is happyVettel: We have a long way to go, these guys are bloody quick, congratulations to themRed Bull: It's great to have two guys pushing like they areRicciardo handed 10 place grid penalty for BahrainMarko accuses Rosberg of not using his mirrors in QualifyingVettel shows champion qualities despite early scare to make front rowRed Bull: A great performance from both drivers, beyond our expectationHorner: Personally I think it would be easier to get rid of the fuel flow sensor Well Well So Vettel was better with everything, while the team tried to force a Webber victory? Good on Vettel then, well deserved, screw the team and Webber's whining. I hope Vettel started talks with Ferrari so RBR can go back fighting with Sauber and Ferrari can win championships with Vettel. If Mercedes had let Rosberg overtake Hamilton, he probably would have gotten Webber's second place too with Webber having fuel problems. Conclusion: Vettel has shown why he is in the same class as Senna and Schumacher, while Rosberg showed he will never win a championship for accepting being the second violinist. The rest of the crying in the British media is all sour grapes. Hooters Yeah like I'd believe that magazine… Apex Assassin May as well blame the weather, the heavily forecasted rain never materialized forcing everyone to alter their plans. Well not Alonso. McLarenfan @well well: nice one dick Chris Well Well: The amount of fuel burned is not related to the skill of the driver, as you so eloquently put it. The amount of fuel burned is related to the engine map mode you are running. This is decided by the race engineer. The person you should really be praising is Sebastian Vettel's race engineer, then. That individual is a legend equal to Senna and Schumacher. Steve "Vettel attack" Since when has one driver passing/attempting to pass another driver been an "attack"? In all the stories I've recently re-read about Silverstone 2011 – stories the F1 press seem to have completely forgotten about – not once is Webber's move described as a "Webber attack". Joe Kinnear Then it's Webber's engineers/cars fault. Why deny Sebs the chance to win? Lame excuse, RBR.

A 'Colorless' Thailand?
March 30, 2011
In 1947, Winston Churchill said "democracy is the worst form of government, except for all others that have been tried." When Churchill made this remark, Thailand was in the throes of developing a strong dictatorial state headed by the military.

I personally know many CPMs (I'm a midwifery student), and trust them as much as a CNM. We're going with a CNM just because she was who we had for DS, and I didn't know of any CPM's in our area at that time. I wouldn't let the title get in the way--in fact--many times CNM's tend to be more restricted bc their back up physician has the ultimate say in their policies, etc. In my experience, CPM's tend to be more holistic and more hands-off (less medical). If you needed to be hospitalized, I've heard of CPM's coming along and playing "doula," providing your chart and report.

If you needed to be hospitalized, I've heard of CPM's coming along and playing "doula," providing your chart and report.
I agree. We used a CNM for #1, and we gave birth in the hospital. While it was a great experience, we realized that there was no need for us to be there. I didn't have an IV, or a tylenol. We were there for right around 24 hours total (DS came within an hour of arrival) and we had to drive for an hour to get there. We are using a CPM at home for this baby. Because of our location, our CPM will be a little more conservative if she feels that a transfer is necessary . . .
That being said, when you interview your care providers, just talk to them about it. Ultimately, (IMO) it will boil down to whom you feel most comfortable with and who's standards of care fit best to the type of care you're looking for. Any midwife CPM or CNM will be able to easily tell you what they look for in a birth, what you can expect from them, and what would happen in the event of a hospital transfer.
Ask the MWs you interview how they decide to transfer to a hospital, where they would like to transfer to, and if they have an OB they work with. It seems like what you are really looking for is a MW (CPM or CNM) who works with a local OB, that way if you do need to transfer to a hospital, there is a plan already worked out. Am I reading your concerns correctly?
A good CPM should be able to do all the necessary tests during your pregnancy and post-partum care, or at least have someone to send you to if you need the care of someone who went to medical school. Ask about what supplies she has on hand for emergencies during a home birth. A CNM can write prescriptions for emergency drugs, but a CPM needs someone else to write them for you. If you transfer to a hospital, like a PP said, your MW should come with you and act as a doula.
While a CPM and CNM are different, a good one of either certification should be able to meet all of your needs. I wouldn't pick one just based off the initials after her name. Interview a bunch and find a good fit for you. I had a CPM with an amazing back up OB who saw me in my third trimester and wrote some prescriptions for my home birth. It turned out to be a great choice for us. Good luck!
You're blessed you have so many options! Our state doesn't allow CPM's to practice legally :-( However a neighboring state does, and my husband and I seriously considered delivering in the neighboring state w/ a CPM (both our first pregnancy and this pregnancy). However I decided that I'm just personally not comfortable w/ the CPM's. It might have been the personality of the ones we had to choose from at the birth center...but in the end we decided we were more comfortable w/ a CNM and will have to deliver in the hospital as a result of that decision.
I am not in a very homebirth friendly area. We don't have ANY CNMs left in the area that practice in the hospitals. My only choices are between CPMs and DEMs. With the last birth I chose a team of midwives (CPM and DEM with an apprentice) that had over 40 combined years of experience. They were extremely qualified and knowledgable. I am using them again for this birth.
Honestly, I used a CNM in the hospital for my first two (she since retired) and I would have felt less comfortable with her at home than I did with the CPM and DEM.
I think you just need to have a tough interview process. Ask what they do in the case of a transfer. As about their stats. Are they trained to handle breech? What equipment do they carry? etc.
Elizabeth0501:I'm doing a home birth with CPM. Unlike Colorado, Minnesota is not very home birth friendly, so there weren't a ton of options. I love my midwife, though, and I have nothing but the utmost confidence in her. I know if were to go into labor early, or if for some reason I had to birth in the hospital, she would be by my side the whole way, acting as my support or doula.
This. Illinois isn't Homebirth friendly either. My options were limited and didn't like the CNM in the area. I ended up finding my CPM who was 45 minutes away and totally worth it.
I have been to birth with, I thought only, CNM that practices in Denver and she was great - so was her assisstant. They were so smart, relaxed and all around wonderful. I wasn't the one giving birth, but I did interview her before going to MMC (my DH wasn't keen on home birth at the time, so I had to respect that a little). If I remember, she has less home birth experience than many, but still has been a CNM since the 80's or 90's, right? That would count as experience for me.
I am now using a CPM in a different state, who seems just as great, but I've never seen her in action yet.
I think if you are comfortable with the midwife and their training, that matters more than which certification.
I almost had a home birth in Colorado (I ended up transferring with my CPM for non emergent reasons and had a successful vbac). I think you have to go with your gut as much as your head in choosing your home birth care provider, and this is coming from someone who is very cerebral. I interviewed several people and had a long list of questions. I basically thought about every scenario that concerned me and asked them about it. I know birth is unpredictable, but it was more to see what they would say, to get to know them and their philosophies. Part of the reason I wanted a home birth was for the experience, and it was important that someone was technically skilled but also had a deep understanding of us and what we wanted out of this.
I also listened to input from my doula about different midwives' reputations. There's also some discussion about local CPMs on the Colorado attachment parenting board (you have to ask to join but it's free). I understand why a CNM is appealing; I would think critically, since you are birthing at home, about who has the most home birth experience.
I think it's really important to be on the same page about when you transfer and why. From my understanding, there are no OBs formally backing up home birth midwives in CO (CPMs or the CNM) but there is a hospital that is the preferred transfer hospital that is reasonably happy to accept transfers. Of course, in an emergency, you go to what is closest.
Hope that helps! Good luck with your decision.

Have you jewelry or important documents, share certificates, rare coins, precious metals that you don't want to keep at home? Burglaries are on the rise, after all. Up to now, you might have considered keeping these valuable possessions in the bank. But all the Irish banks have now ceased offering safety deposit boxes, and existing clients are being asked to remove their valuables. Seamus Fahy (and his business partner David Walsh) have set up the country's first independent private vault in Dublin. Their company is called Merrion Private Vaults, and Seamus joins Derek in studio today to tell us why ...http://www.rte.ie/radio1/mooney/programmes/2013/0724/464361-mooney-wednesday-july-24th-2013/?clipid=1274139

FALLING UPHILL is a feature that speaks to our generation of twenty
somethings going through a "quarter life crisis" - no job, no direction,
unfulfilled dreams, and no place to go.
During December & January, Blue Creek Pictures, along with some of
the bay area's industry pros came together to tell the story of FALLING
UPHILL. Over the course of 16 days our skilled team shot over 40
locations throughout San Francisco, bringing a vivid and intimate
look to one of the most beautiful cities in the US.
We are currently in post-production and getting ready for the 2012
film festival season.
Robert asks Jenny, a girl he found on Craigslist, to be his
new roommate. Now after a year of living together, he finds himself falling
in love with her, but his ability to keep afloat in San Francisco is coming to
an end. With a lame job and not enough income, he has no choice but to
move back with his parents in Rochester, NY. With only three days until his
flight home, Robert struggles to tell Jenny his true feelings and to determine
what direction his life is headed.

Global Competitiveness Requires a New Map for Crops
News from
Texas A&M University
By Kay Ledbetter, Texas A&M Staff
May 26, 2006
BUSHLAND – Maintaining competitiveness in the world market requires scientists to lay out a new roadmap for crops, according to a Texas Agricultural Experiment Station leader.
This project or activity was wholly or partially CSREES-funded.
For details, see a related report in the CSREES CRIS database.
Dr. Bill McCutchen, Experiment Station deputy associate director from College Station spoke on "A Platform for Yield Gain through Genetic Discovery in Wheat" at the Small Grains Field Day in Bushland on May 25.
"We have to maintain our international competitiveness, especially with our wheat program and our varieties," McCutchen said. "That means we have to stay a couple steps ahead in the area of technology."
One such technology is "marker assisted selection," which he equated to building a map.
The Wheat Coordinated Agricultural Project, funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service, uses DNA technology to reduce the time needed to develop different varieties.
Dr. Jackie Rudd, Experiment Station state wheat breeder, is leading the program in Texas with research in Amarillo, Vernon, Dallas and other breeding locations.
Texas' scientists initial interests are greenbug and leaf rust resistance, McCutchen said. However, the possibilities are not limited to those two areas. It is possible to identify genes controlling traits for disease and insect resistance, as well as cold and drought tolerance.
In traditional breeding programs, a researcher may start with 200 crosses in year one and expand to 20,000 lines in the second year in several locations looking for one variety with the desired traits, he said. Most of these will be discarded until one product is found up to six years later.
Researchers can combine this traditional breeding with molecular breeding to more efficiently improve quality and yield of row crops, McCutchen said.
"You have to intertwine the genetic and environmental factors," he said.
Traits important to growers are controlled by the genetic make-up of each wheat cultivar. A genetic roadmap leads to the identification of yield traits.
"Molecular breeding doesn't mean genetically engineered," McCutchen said. "But the use of molecular markers provides breeders with a more detailed roadmap to improve row crops like wheat in a more timely and precise manner."
These yield genes can be mapped much like historical markers on a roadmap, marking the way to something significant along the chromosome interstate, he said, whether that is rust or greenbug resistance or some other trait.
Essentially, McCutchen said, this new technology will allow breeders to take a variety with high yield potential but insufficient rust resistance and streamline the process to integrate a rust trait from another line to produce a superior yielding wheat variety with rust resistance.
"We can expect to see the impact of this technology in the next five years," he said. "It may take a little longer for wheat producers to see the benefits, but you will see products from this technology with corn and perhaps other crops within the next few years."

Memory management & threading are the two big real-time things, using a VM
complicates this.
I don't advise using it, but C++ is already my weapon of choice so I'm not
biased at all ;)
That said, my first JACK client was using Python to copy I/O buffers using
the PyJack interface.
Xruns!! but it worked... :) For serious applications I would not concider
VM languages as a serious
option, but I'm sure there's people on list that would disagree. This has
been discussed before on list,
searching the archives will provide lots of information on the topic.

Hate it when I plan to go to sleep early and a tech problem comes up.
Forgot my domain account password so couldn't update sachachua.com to
reflect new IP address. Cause of great annoyance. Had to guess lots of
possible passwords. Argh. Problem when you have your browser remember
most passwords, and then you change computers…
I feel that I'm stretching myself a bit too thin again, so I might
just cancel my Thursday stuff. I scheduled something onto Wednesday,
my usual emergency break, but that's okay; it's fairly low-key. =)
Had to take a nap earlier. Slept at 5:30 PM, didn't get up until 9.
Still feeling a little bit fuzzy. Also, now realize that I'm starving.
Find myself dropping the ball on too many external responsibilities.
May need to cut back and list things to make sure I don't forget…

SUBWAY® Named "Brand Of The Year" In 2013 Harris Poll EquiTrend® Study
MILFORD, Conn., March 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The SUBWAY® restaurant chain has been named "Brand of the Year" in the "Quick Service Restaurant" category according to the 2013 Harris Poll EquiTrend® study. This marks the 9 th year in a row that the submarine sandwich franchise has received the highest score among quick service restaurant brands included in the annual study which measures consumer perceptions of more than 1,500 brands in more than 155 categories.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130327/NY84713 )
The Harris Poll EquiTrend® study, conducted by Harris Interactive, reveals the brands that Americans rank highest in brand equity. Surveying more than 38,000 American consumers, the study measures the level of quality, familiarity, and purchase consideration for each brand, and then awards "Brand of the Year" status to the top-ranked brand from each category.
"Receiving such high marks from consumers and being recognized by the well-respected Harris Poll study certainly indicates that we have been on the right path," says Suzanne Greco, SUBWAY® Vice President of Research & Development and Operations. "The combination of excellent service, great tasting sandwiches and salads, healthier options, convenience, and all at a good value are cornerstones of the Subway experience, and we continually hear from our customers that these are factors they consider to be most important when deciding where to eat."With a long standing reputation for offering an alternative to traditionally fatty fast food, the SUBWAY® brand strives to continuously improve the nutritional benefits of its menu and offers a wide variety of great tasting sandwiches and salads that are trans-fat free, and low in saturated fat and cholesterol, including many with 6 grams of fat or less. In addition, the SUBWAY® chain was among the first brands to offer nutritional transparency, providing calorie, sodium and fat content of menu items long before the call for requirements to do so. SUBWAY® sandwiches are served on bread that is baked fresh daily and fortified with calcium and vitamin D. The SUBWAY® brand is a sponsor of the American Heart Association's American Heart Walks; and is the first restaurant chain to earn the American Heart Association's Heart Check certification for having heart healthy meals, a program designed to help consumers make smarter meal choices while dining away from home.

Air France-KLM reports $483 million loss for Q1
PARIS (AP) – Air France-KLM says it lost 368 million euros ($483 million) in the first quarter of the year, as high fuel costs and a continued drop in cargo cut into profits.
Sponsored Links
The Franco-Dutch airline says revenue grew 6% to 5.6 billion euros, but that was not able to offset the continued slide in the income column.
Uprisings in the Middle East and tension with Iran have pushed fuel prices up over the past year, and the company said Friday that its fuel bill rose 18% in the January to March quarter. Higher labor costs because of a 2011 salary increase also ate into profits.
While the company saw a rise in its passenger traffic, the global economic slowdown is weighing on its cargo business. Traffic there was down 6%.

- Datawarehouse Explained
Data Warehouse Explained
Data Warehousing is the main repository of the organisation's historical data, its corporate memory. For example, an organisation would use the information that's stored in its data warehouse to find out what day of the week they had the most transactions in May 2010 or how employee sick leave the week before Christmas differed between Dublin and Galway in 2010.
In other words, the data warehouse contains the raw material for management's decision support system. The critical factor leading to the use of a data warehouse is that a data analyst can perform complex queries and analysis (such as data mining) on the information without slowing down the operational systems.
Data Warehousing Ireland
While operational systems are optimised for simplicity and speed of modification (online transaction processing, or OLTP) through heavy use of database normalisation and an entity-relationship model, the data warehouse is optimized for reporting and analysis (on line analytical processing, or OLAP). Frequently data in data warehouses is heavily denormalised, summarised and/or stored in a dimension-based model but this is not always required to achieve acceptable query response times.
What is a Data Warehouse?
- A Data Warehouse is a set of data structured for Query and Reporting purposes
- Typically contains multiple data sources
- Consolidates data from these sources
- Provides point-in-time reporting
- Can tell you what did or did not happen, or when it happened?
