(A) Measurement of continuing education is in terms of credits. The overriding consideration in determining whether a specific program qualifies for continuing education credit is that it should be a formal program of learning that contributes directly to the professional competence of an Ohio permit holder.
(B) For classroom programs, a fifty-minute period equals one credit. Beyond the first credit, each twenty-five minute period equals one-half credit. The minimum acceptable length of a classroom program is one credit. Eight credits may be given to a classroom program offered during one day provided the actual session is at least three hundred minutes in length, excluding breaks.
(C) College courses earn ten credits per quarter hour, or fifteen credits per semester hour, unless an Ohio permit holder earns additional credit in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (G) of this rule.
(D) Time devoted to reading, computer tutorials, or other self-study does not earn continuing education credit. A qualifying self-study program must include one or more examinations that require successful completion. The self-study program will earn credit based on the program's average completion time as determined by pilot testing.
(E) An instructor or discussion leader of a continuing education program may be awarded continuing education credit up to three times the credit a program participant would receive. Time devoted to preparation for a classroom program does not earn separate credit. Credit for teaching a particular classroom program may be claimed only once each year.
(F) The board must evaluate continuing education credit claimed for publications or other special learning activities, and may require that the Ohio permit holder submit appropriate documentation to support the credit claimed. Credit awarded for passing major professional examinations that have been approved by the board is normally ten credits per hour if the total examination session is at least three continuous hours in length, up to a maximum of forty credits per session.
(G) The board may increase the continuing education credit awarded to a classroom program as defined in paragraph (B) or (C) of this rule, and award such additional credit to any Ohio permit holder successfully passing the program. Such a program must include one or more examinations to qualify for additional credit. The board may specify the amount of such additional credit awarded, as well as passing scores or grades required to earn such additional credit.

She's home but she bought a friend with her
Flicka came home with Fred Flinstone's car. LOL. I had to make room in our over stuffed garage. That's the most space I have seen in there for ages! (I think I have too many projects on the go and also too much furniture!) Now the fun begins as we slowly restore them. We want to keep their cheesy homemade look but hopefully get them working. 5 cents a ride anyone?

Inmate at-large after leaving work detail on Cape Cod
Authorities are looking for a prisoner who walked away from a work detail on Cape Cod.
David Nickerson, of Brewster, was nine months into a two-year sentence for drunken driving and other charges.
Barnstable County sheriff's spokesman Roy Lyons tells the Cape Cod Times (http://bit.ly/1822yCB ) the 60-year-old Nickerson walked away from a work detail at the Brewster fire station on Wednesday, and remained at large on Friday.
Police said Nickerson, who is about 5 feet, 7 inches tall and 150 pounds, was last wearing blue jeans, dark boots and a gray sweatshirt or blue jacket that identified him as an inmate.

Bing recall in jeopardy
Rep. calls new laws 'political gangsterism'
By Zenobia Jeffries
The Michigan Citizen
DETROIT — New laws, signed by Gov. Rick Snyder in December, could mean the end of the effort to recall Mayor Dave Bing.
"When Lansing changed the recall petitioner law in lame duck, and in the middle of our recall against Dave Bing, they demonstrated their resolve toward this coup d'etat of injustice, which is directed at Detroit by the hands of the Republican government of this state," Rep. John Olumba told the Michigan Citizen.
"Recalls now have been made nearly impossible. On display and for the record we can see crookedness, cronyism, bias and protectionism, in order to preserve the status quo — a corrupt mayor and a failing government."
Gov. Snyder called the new legislation, Public Acts 417 and 418, a fairer and more streamlined process for recalling elected officials.
"These changes will help ensure recalls are done in a fair and consistent manner and help prevent political gamesmanship from both sides of the aisle," he said in a press statement.
It is unclear whether the new laws, enacted with immediate effect, are retroactive.
Rep. Anthony Forlini, R-Harrison Township, one of the bill's sponsors, told this reporter they were not. "The purpose was to take the (recall power) out of the hands of special interests and empower the people," he said.
The new laws narrow the time for collecting signatures from 90 to 60 days. The laws also change the review authority of recall petitions to the Board of State Canvassers, instead of county election boards, and mandates that petition language state "factually and clearly" the reason for the recall.
Each of the changes could impact the Bing recall that was approved Nov. 5 by the Wayne County Election Commission, according to State Rep. John Olumba, D-Detroit. Olumba, now serving a second term in office, was among those to have the recall language certified.
The language reads: "The mayor has compromised public safety in Detroit. He discriminated against residents by designating only a portion of the city with proper fire emergency response times. He closed fire stations, which has led to prolonged response times for the remaining parts of the city."
Olumba says since Bing re-opened previously closed mini-stations in early December — with more set to open in the months to come — the language becomes "not factual."
Also, the petitioners need the 90 days to gather the 43,000 signatures needed to recall the mayor, according to Olumba. So far they're at 23,000. The 60-day deadline for gathering the signatures was Jan. 5.
He called the effort almost impossible. Regardless of whether the change in law affects the language, the time frame could still be an issue.
Olumba says, however, because he received such a positive response from citizens while collecting signatures, he's not giving up.
"While executing the recall, the response from the people was resounding. People want change. And so, while the recall has been made impossible as a result of political gangsterism, they have merely taken away one option. We cannot give up on the greater issue of self-determination in Detroit."
The new recall laws eliminate one of the two special elections in the case of the recall. Recalls will now only happen in May instead of February and May. Instead of recall questions asking for a "yes" or "no" to remove an elected official, voters will have a choice between the current officeholder and a challenger. The challenger will be chosen during a recall primary.
Olumba says he's afraid Bing will have committed all the damage — the removal of Crittendon as Corporation Counsel, the letting of million-dollar, no-bid contracts and the sale of Belle Isle, among other things — to the city by May.
The governor will continue to face the current recall system "per specifications of the Michigan Constitution," he says.
The legislation also requires that lawmakers be in office for at least six months before recall language is submitted to the Board of State Canvassers for approval. It does not change the recall system for the governor.

Our emergency medical services are provided through the Evaluation Center, which is an 11-bed, Level III emergency department. The Evaluation Center sees more than 35,000 patients annually and is specially equipped and staffed to meet the unique needs of children and women with obstetrical and gynecological emergencies. Critically ill patients may be transported via air medical helicopter, area ambulance service or through the hospital's neonatal or pediatric intensive care transport vehicles.
A $2 million state-of-the-art expansion and relocation will make the Evaluation Center more accessible by ambulance, feature additional beds for treatment, provide dedicated space for OB/GYN patients and separate waiting rooms for our adult and pediatric patients. This design will help reduce wait times and streamline care at the only Emergency Room dedicated solely to the healthcare needs of children and women. A larger Evaluation Center will better accommodate our patients and families while continuing to provide the quality care that they deserve.

[photo above by Vrai]
The wedding reception went by in a blur. People clinked their forks on their glasses, us newlyweds kissed, there was a first dance, but without thinking I had already pulled my brother onto the dance floor before that, since he knew how to dance to the big band version of "Creep" that was on.
Amanda and I pantomimed James Brown being covered with his cape and bursting up out of it, and lots more dorky dancing went down, I could barely think of eating my food, we had a terrific groomsman speech, which the videographer completely missed capturing along with the first dance (he's new at this, and we got him free anyway). We visited from table to table, and before we'd even invited guests to come n' get the cupcakes, the guests who were leaving early the next day were already making their exits.
What? All that planning and it was over so soon? Yes, all the marrieds had warned us that was what happens, and our event was no different.
Oh! And my dress exploded.
Perhaps I overstated that. But two of the little yellow bits at front came untucked, much to my dismay, and even further to my dismay, my sister in law came up behind me to inform that many more bits were coming out at the back. We hightailed it to the Cal Neva bathroom, where you can always hear the arena rock hits of decades past, and she quickly sewed in all errant yellow bits.
That's probably the worst mishap, so, good for us. No tumbles worthy of America's Funniest Videos, at least for us (one attendee did have an incident later that night).
We rounded up everyone who was still going to our suite for an after-party, which carried on a few more hours. Shockingly, no neighbors complained, and nothing was tossed off the balcony that we know of. The party-goers must have been too distracted by the million-star-studded sky curving over us.
What a relief to not have to look or be our best anymore! But the trip wasn't over at all at that point. Sunday was the first day of the rest of our lives. And it boded well for the future: it was hi-LAR-ious.
At breakfast we hashed (har de har) over the events of the previous evening, including the gambling that had gone down after we kicked the revelers out of our suite. Two of our friends were taken to task by the pit boss for cussing (?) and they were all eventually booted out. So just to review: a casino effectively said, "Stop giving us your money and get out of here." That's how obnoxious it apparently got, and the only surviving photos of the blackjack tables seem to confirm that. For the protection of all, I shan't run them.
We also learned that our best man had some difficulty getting into his room at that point in the wee hours, didn't realize he could just go get a new room key, and ended up taking a little unplanned nap in the chair by the elevators.
After leisurely extended breakfast time, two carloads of us (guys in one car, gals in the other) attempted to get to a boat tour or go on a tram up a mountain, didn't make it on time to do either, but had a blast driving clockwise around the whole lake. We stopped at Sand Harbor, which was gorgeous, even though the staff there are jerks.
When the roads got scary, we nearly drove off when laughing about driving off the cliff like Toonces the Driving Cat. We stopped at the overlook for Emerald Bay, and the light at that time of day made everything crisp and mesmerizing.
But we barely noticed because we were laughing our asses off.
That photo embodies the day. We were absolutely giddy in the girls' car for the last quarter way around the lake, and the guys' car later told us they could hear us laughing when they stopped at lights, with their windows up and music on. Yesss. I miss times like that!
Back at the hotel, we discovered non other than Jon Hamm, aka Mad Men's Don Draper, was staying among us! (ecs & I tried to prank him the next day, but a recording told us he'd already checked out.)
Then it was time to bring two of our fellow travelers, Leah and Therese, down to Reno, since they were flying out early the next day. Along with Hubbs and I, ecs & Ed all squeezed into one car, and we headed down the winding roads into the desert.
Ah, Reno.
So with Vegas the clear superior of the two big gambling cities, already drawing a rogue's gallery of its own in tourists, who purposely chooses the runner-up gambling city? Well...the also-rans. Everywhere we turned there was a sight to behold: crutches, limps, gimps, femullets, Billy Ray Cyrus mullets, other insane hair configurations, Internet-top-ten-worthy awful tattoos, long-ago guests from Jerry Springer.
Reno is so rife with freakishness and tragedy and unintentional comedy (so often the best kind) that if you like to observe these things, it's a very special gem in the desert. Now I have a lot more understanding of the context for the show Reno 911. Also for shooting a man in Reno just to watch him die.
Say, Is the bad art rife in Vegas also prevalent in Reno? You betcha!
Here's a fountain ripped off from every fountain in Rome, only colored in, presumably to make art less hard to look at.
It was about 10 pm on a Sunday night, and for the life of us we couldn't find a place to eat (that didn't require a half-hour wait).
Not sure if that sign is funny, but it sure seemed so to us before Reno amusement threatened to turn into Reno rage. We finally settled on a farewell meal of fried stuff at Mel's Diner, adjacent to the Sands.
Only one song comes to mind when I think of Reno. It's a 90s hard rock hit (and one-time WSOU staple) that I haven't thought of in many a year.
With relief, we headed back up to the Alpine lake and from there, to our suite. It felt too good to be true there.
The view from our honeymoon suite was different at every hour as the light changed.
Monday was our last full day, and sadly everyone from the wedding had gone or was leaving. Hubbs and I started out with a fantastic lunch on the lake.
From there, we checked out a port filled with stunning vintage ChrisCraft boats. Great, now I want an antique boat that costs $100K plus.
And from there, back to the other end of the spectrum of arts and crafts. Please note that this bear has American flags in its eyes.
And then, as the light changed again, to Lauren our officiant's home.
From there, a quick dinner at a Thai restaurant, where we discussed our upcoming honeymoon...TO THAILAND! We are just thrilled.
Now, even though we're suffering through a brutal Louisiana summer, that trip gives us something huge to look forward to. It's a good, happy time.
And so far, we're enjoying this "opposite marriage" business, as espoused by Miss California. (Though sames should be allowed to marry too.)

Coffee is a favorite drink for people all over the world and the coffee maker has been around a long time. At its beginning the coffee maker was just a pot that sat over a fire and boiled water with the coffee grounds in it. As technology has advanced, so has the coffee maker. Now the coffee is made with a coffee maker that can be programmed to grind the beans, add the water and start brewing at a specific time. There are so many types of coffee makers that it is actually a big decision when deciding on which type to buy.
Types Of Coffee Makers
The kind of coffee one prefers is the first step when making a coffee maker decision. The most popular type of coffee maker involves pots that generally make from two to twelve cups and they can keep coffee hot for a desired period of time. The coffee maker uses ground coffee that can be purchased or it is prepared with a separate home coffee grinder. This coffee maker comes as either drip or percolator or French press.
The second type of coffee maker is the expresso. It is fancy and can be costly. With this type, people can have the beans ground by the maker, brewed and the finished coffee poured into a cup. Most expresso makers make one cup of coffee that is very strong including cappuccino and lattes. The coffee maker does require cleaning after each use.
There is also a combination coffee maker that makes regular coffee and also expresso.
A newer favorite coffee maker is the pod which uses a single serving pod for the brew. There are numerous flavors available for this type of coffee. The coffee maker is often inexpensive but the pods can be costly.
Amount of Coffee Consumed
If a quick cup of coffee is desired prior to leaving for work, then a smaller coffee maker of two to four cups would probably work or the expresso which makes one cup. If a larger amount of coffee is needed throughout the day, then a coffee maker that has multiple selections in the number of cups would be best.
Coffee preferences, budget and quantity of coffee to be made are all factors that affect the decision making process. The more features a coffee maker has the more the cost. A drip coffee maker with minimal features can cost around $25 while a coffee maker that grinds beans, adds water and pours into a cup can cost hundreds of dollars. The final cost decision depends on convenience needs as well as budget.

Ironing It Out: Linking Diabetes with Iron Intake
Amy Campbell
March 5, 2007
If you're old enough, you might remember those Geritol ads on television, proclaiming that everyone could be suffering from "iron-poor blood." But, in general, iron is one of those minerals that doesn't get much respect. It's just not that exciting—unless you happen to be iron deficient.
Iron is one of the most abundant minerals on earth. In the human body, it's needed as part of enzymes and proteins involved in carrying oxygen to cells and for regulating cell growth. Two-thirds of the iron in our bodies is found in hemoglobin, which is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to our tissues. (In case you're wondering, hemoglobin A1c, or HbA1c, is a measure of how much glucose is attached to hemoglobin.) The rest of the iron in our bodies is found in myoglobin, a protein that delivers oxygen to muscle tissues, as well as in proteins that can store iron for future needs.
There are two forms of iron: heme iron, which is found in animal foods, such as red meat, fish, and poultry, and nonheme iron, found in plant foods, including lentils, beans, molasses, and spinach. Eating foods rich in vitamin C can enhance absorption of nonheme iron, while calcium, tannins (found in tea and other foods), and phytates (found in beans and other foods) may inhibit nonheme iron absorption. Here are the Recommended Daily Allowances for iron for adults: 18 milligrams (mg) for women of childbearing age, 8 mg for postmenopausal women, and 8 mg for adult men. So, as we age, our iron needs decrease.
Iron deficiency is a global problem, affecting about 80% of the world's population, while 30% of the population has iron deficiency anemia. Pregnant women, infants, toddlers, teenage girls, women of childbearing age, and people with kidney and gastrointestinal disorders are at risk for iron deficiency anemia. That pretty much leaves healthy teenage boys, men, and postmenopausal women who aren't at risk.
You might be wondering what the link is, then, between iron and diabetes. First, there's evidence now that women who consume too much heme iron (the kind found in animal foods) have as much as a 28% increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. This research, published last year, is based on a study of over 85,000 middle-aged women over a 20-year time frame. Another study from 2004 showed similar results: About 33,000 healthy women with high iron stores followed for 10 years had a significant increase in the incidence of Type 2 diabetes. The thought is that high iron levels may cause damage to muscle tissue, thereby decreasing the body's ability to move glucose from the blood into cells and also interfering with insulin production. (By the way, there's evidence that 50% to 80% of people with hemochromatosis, a disorder of iron absorption, go on to develop Type 2 diabetes.)
Secondly, there's new evidence that women with Type 2 diabetes who consume a high amount of heme iron and red meat have up to a 50% increase in the risk of coronary heart disease. The authors of this study admit that foods rich in heme iron (such as red meat) can also be high in saturated fat, which we already know is linked with heart disease. They also point out that foods high in heme iron don't necessarily "cause" heart disease; they're just "associated" with heart disease. All in all, though, they suggest that it's not a bad idea for people with Type 2 diabetes to cut back on their intake of heme-iron–rich foods. Maybe this information will encourage you to go easy on the steaks and burgers and try more meatless meals, such as beans and rice or lentil soup!
But beans, rice, and lentil soup raise blood sugar. That isn't such a good idea.
Posted by: Anna | Jul 27, 2007 12:34 AM
beans is high fiber content diet. It release sugar into blood slowly.. good food for dm...
Posted by: dinu | Jan 21, 2009 07:55 PM
Any food that contains calories will be broken down and converted into sugar and used by the body, the rate depends on hard it is for the body to break down the food. Unused sugars will be stored as fat therefore even a low fat diet can cause a person to store excess fats and be a health risk. Basically you cannot beat a well balanced diet combined with exercise, in type 2 diabetes diet and exercise are the key and if you are Irish like me getting rid of some excess iron also helps so I will be having more beans and steaks

Posted by: DEBRA | Jan 07, 2010 11:55 AM
Hi Debra, To the best of my knowledge, the link between iron and diabetes pertains primarily to Type 2 diabetes. If your question relates to how much iron you need, the recommendation for post-menopausal women is 8 milligrams per day.
Posted by: acampbell | Jan 08, 2010 09:32 AM
You mostly addressed heme iron....would you please address nonheme iron consumption for ones who mostly eat vegetables and a little fish. Thank You, Lani
Posted by: Lani | Jan 08, 2011 02:24 PM
Hi Lani, If you're eating a mostly vegetarian diet with a little animal protein thrown in, you're likely getting most of your iron from nonheme iron (the kind found in plant foods). Luckily, people who eat mostly plant foods tend to get enough iron — as long as they're eating a variety of foods. The RDA for iron for premenopausal women is 18 milligrams and for postmenopausal women, it's 8 milligrams. Adult men also need just 8 milligrams of iron per day. There's some evidence that vegetarians may need up to twice as much iron in their diet since nonheme iron isn't as well absorbed as heme iron. My advice is to make sure you eat a variety of foods that contain iron (fortified oatmeal and cold cereal, soybeans, lentils and other beans, tofu, spinach) but also make sure you eat a food rich in vitamin C also (citrus fruits, tomatoes, cantaloupe, peppers, etc.). Don't take an iron supplement without talking with your health-care provider. And if you are concerned about iron deficiency or anemia, your provider can do certain blood tests to determine this.

Vegetarians may find it a bit more difficult to get the iron they need, but some may not understand the reason why. There are two forms of iron: heme, which comes from animal sources, and non-heme, which comes from plant sources.

I am pre-diabetic and have been able to stave off a diabetic diagnosis with diet and exercise. I probably right next to that line, however, so I'm looking for more things I can do. Our well water has a lot of iron. So much so that we have installed an iron filter system. Prior to the system, our water was orange and stained the fixtures black over time. Since the filter system was installed, our water is clear (most of the time), but still stains fixtures, only not as badly. How does iron disolved in well water affect iron in the body? Is this a good thing? Or a bad thing?
Posted by: Jack | Aug 16, 2011 06:29 PM
Hi Jack, From what I've read, iron in the water supply can contribute up to 5% of the body's daily requirements. That being said, even small amounts of iron in the water can leave stains on fixtures, laundry, etc It's likely not a bad thing unless you happen to have a condition called hemochromatosis in which too much iron builds up in the body. Also, it's doubtful that the iron in your water is enough to "induce" diabetes in you. The key ways to reduce your risk for diabetes are to aim to lose 5% to 10% of your body weight (if you're overweight), eat a diet of whole grains, lean protein, and healthy fat, include nuts and low-fat dairy (shown to help prevent diabetes) and of course, stay active!

I was diagnosed last August with an iron deficiency and have been taking 2 iron supplements daily since that time. Jan. 1 I was diagnosed with diabetes type 2. I've always been at high risk for diabetes (sister who is type 1, father who had type 2, high blood pressure since age 24, hypothyroid since age 25, high cholesterol and taking Lipitor) so we've been checking my A1C levels and blood glucose for the past 10 years. Back in June, my A1C was 5.8, and even after being diagnosed, which a blood glucose spike of 400, my A1C was 6.8... I had only one symptom of diabetes - blurry vision - which is highly unusual and has all my doctors puzzled. I'm 41 and had begun meeting regularly with a personal trainer once my iron levels began to rise back in October. I had lost 7 pounds by Christmas and was feeling great. I have been thinking it was the Lipitor that brought this on, but now I'm wondering about the iron supplements. I just had an appointment with my hematologist last Thursday and will know by the end of this week whether or not I can stop taking those supplements (which we lowered to 1/day once I was diagnosed) if my ferritin level is high enough. Now I'm highly suspicious!

I have been type 2 diabetic for quite a few years and taking Metformin three times daily. Recently I was found to be iron deficent. Iron supplement was prescribed daily for me. When my iron level was checked two weeks later my iron level had dropped another couple of tenths. I did a stool culture and that came back with no blood. My iron supplement was increased to twice daily. I also take lisinopril from high blood pressure. Can the diabetes be connected to the low iron levels?
Posted by: Dorothy Koester | May 08, 2012 04:15 PM
Hi Dorothy, I'm not aware of a link between low iron and diabetes, or metformin causing low iron levels. Iron deficiency is generally caused by blood loss (say, from an ulcer or intestinal bleeding), a low intake of iron in the diet, use of antacids or medicines to treat acid reflux, and certain malabsorption disorders, such as celiac disease. It's good that your stool culture was negative for blood, but you should pursue with your doctor other possible causes, like celiac disease, for example.

Hi I'm type 1 diabetic, my sugar have been higher than normal and I just fond out I have low iron, I was wondering do you think low iron can make my sugar high? I'm also pregnant 27 weeks. Thank you for your time
Posted by: Nicole | Jul 28, 2012 10:06 AM
Hi Nicole, I think it's more likely that the hormones released during pregnancy are causing some insulin resistance, which is why you're seeing higher blood glucose readings. And low iron levels are common, too, as your iron needs increase during pregnancy.
Posted by: acampbell | Jul 30, 2012 01:53 PM
Iron is a strong interest of mine and there is a link between high iron intake (such as pregnancy supplements) and cot death and also in brain cognitive decline. Some supplement have disgustingly high levels of iron and cot death is far rarer in Asian babies and breast fed babies. You may need more iron in pregnancy but the body releases it stores from the ferritin.Levels look lower because of this and because blood volume increases at 28 weeks and then come the toxic supplements.

Can type 1 diabetes be controlled with taking calcium citrate, zinc and magnesium. Thank you.
Posted by: Bonnie | Nov 15, 2012 02:34 PM
Hi Bonnie, No, Type 1 diabetes is controlled by taking insulin, meal planning (usually in the form of carbohydrate counting), and physical activity. Calcium, zinc and magnesium are essential nutrients, but they have little, if any, effect on blood glucose control.
Posted by: acampbell | Nov 15, 2012 04:51 PM
The article does not mention how nonheme iron affects glucose levels for diabetics. If the iron from meat products should be avoided, what about iron from plants?
Posted by: Jason Wang | Dec 07, 2012 09:55 PM
Hi Jason, To the best of my knowledge, the research indicates that it's only heme iron that is linked to an increase in diabetes risk.
Posted by: acampbell | Dec 10, 2012 03:23 PM
My wife is type 2 diabetic, and she also has a history of anemia. In going through this and related information it would appear that the anemic condition would minimize the incidence of type 2 diabetes. That is, an anemic person would be less likely to eventually see type 2 diabetes, since their blood usually contains less iron. I'm concerned about our daughters. They are also anemic, similar to their mother, and I'd like to believe they won't be susceptible to diabetes. But since there is definite proof of a relationship between iron levels and diabetes, I'm trying to investigate options. The information about hemochromatosis was interesting since it shows a genetic link. One other question - which type of iron, heme or non-heme, is usually present in supplements such as Fergon, ferrous gluconate? My wife did take Fergon when she was younger and I've wondered if it introduced heme iron to her system. Thanks.
Posted by: Roger Oakes | Feb 09, 2013 12:31 PM
Hi Roger, You pose an interesting question in terms of your daughters' risk of diabetes due to anemia. Just keep in mind that they may be at an increased risk because of your wife's Type 2 diabetes, as well. This does not mean that they will inevitably get diabetes, but it's a good opportunity to encourage a healthy lifestyle with them. Also, Fergon contains ferrous sulfate, which is a form of nonheme iron.

Hi My mother who has turned seventy two weeks ago and has type 2 diabetes has been really struggleing for six months with no energy and no appetite.Her doctor prescribed iron tablets as her iron level was low and her blood count. She has also been to hospital and had two camera scans to see if there was an internal bleed.It came back that she had no internal bleed.Ive since got her on Floradix which she has been taking since the 19th of Febuary. There doesnt seem to be any improvement and there is no drive in her to do anything and no real appetite. Has anybody any idea? Many thanks Andrew
Posted by: andrew balfour | Mar 03, 2013 03:04 PM
Hi Andrew, I'm wondering if your mother needs to go back to her doctor for further evaluation. Fortunately, there is no sign of internal bleeding, but there can be other causes of iron deficiency and fatigue, including kidney disease, nutrient deficiencies, gastrointestinal issues (like celiac, Crohn disease, etc.), and medications that interfere with iron absorption. She might also benefit from meeting with a dietitian to review her eating plan and make sure she's getting a balance of nutrients and enough calories. Be careful about giving her Floradix if she is also taking iron pills prescribed from her doctor; too much iron is unsafe. Finally, you might also consider her mental state: Depression and anxiety can also be causes of fatigue and poor appetite, which, in turn can lead to an inadequate intake of nutrients (including iron). It can also take a while to build up iron stores, so it may be too soon to see an improvement in her symptoms. But perhaps a talk with her doctor is in order.

Hi Many thanks for the reply and the information. Regards Andrew Balfour

Iron is NOT a nutrient, it is a poison. Iron replaces copper in the blood and tissue proteins and accumulates in multiple locations of the body, causing destruction and accelerating aging. Bio-available copper must be replenished to restore health and longevity – to repair the DNA damage. "The ability of copper to easily accept and donate electrons explains its important role in oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions and the scavenging of free radicals." Restated, copper deficiency causes a complete breakdown of the blood's ability to eliminate iron from the body. Loosely bound iron breaks off from the blood proteins and accumulates in various locations of the body, which then acidify those locations causing serious life threatening disease states such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, inflammation, immune deficiencies, neurological dysfunction, tissue and organ destruction, and many other diseases and symptoms, and an early death.
Posted by: Olga King | Mar 13, 2013 12:39 AM
Hi Olga, To clarify, iron IS an essential nutrient. The body cannot survive without it. But like many minerals, too much iron can be harmful and cause oxidative damage in the body. Also, iron needs to be balanced out with copper and zinc levels.

In 1996 my mother was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. recently her doctor has put her on levemir. when she started her levemir at 10mg/l her blood was between 130-150 when testing in the morning. her doctor has since raised her daily levemir to 14mg/l and now her blood sugar reading has gone up to 170-200. her diet hasn't changed. could iron be causing this to happen?
Posted by: Nicole Christopherson | Jun 09, 2013 01:12 PM
Hi Nicole, In my opinion, it's unlikely that iron is causing your mother's blood glucose to be higher. There are probably many other (and more common) factors, such as a change in food intake, for example, or an overall change in her diabetes. A little detective work may be in order, such as finding out if she is taking the prescribed amount of her insulin, where she is injecting, if she has changed her food intake (like eating a snack before bed), etc. I'd suggest talking to her doctor about what he thinks, or even meeting with a diabetes educator who can review all of the above factors (and more) to help determine the likely cause.

My father is 77. Also a type 2 diabetic. Just recently was told he was anemic. His Alc is 7.5. The doc only said take a multi with minerals in it, but didn't say how much? He takes so many pills now for high blood pressure, cholesterol , insulin. Also for acid reflux. Doc doesn't seem to he to concerned other than take a Centrum with iron ? I think the antacids might be a big issue also with absorbing? Any advice?
Posted by: Kc62 | Jun 21, 2013 10:35 AM
Hi Kc62, Anemia in the elderly is a cause for concern, as studies show that it's linked a with a loss of physical functioning. Also, it's important to find out what's causing the anemia in the first place, such as kidney issues, poor nutrition, internal bleeding, or cancer, for example. Yes, antacids can interfere with iron absorption, so any kind of vitamin or iron supplement should be taken apart from the antacid. A multivitamin/mineral supplement, by the way, may not contain enough iron to correct the anemia. You should find out how severe the anemia is, discuss possible causes, and ask about the best way to treat it. Iron supplements and injectable drugs (Procrit and Epogen) are available as treatments.

Saying that i already don't eat butter nor do i use cream. Thank you for taking the time Bea
Posted by: Bea | Aug 12, 2013 09:53 PM
Hi Dennis, I haven't come across any evidence linking iron supplements with changes in blood glucose. The best way to find out, though, is to check your blood glucose more frequently than usual if you are taking supplements, and let your doctor know if you see that they're affecting you.
Posted by: acampbell | Aug 13, 2013 10:12 AM
Hi Bea, For many people with prediabetes, losing a little weight (if you need to) can make a big difference in whether you go on to develop diabetes or not. Studies show that losing between 5% and 7% of body weight can help prevent diabetes. Cutting back on portions, eating more fresh fruits and vegetables (and fewer fatty, fried foods), and eating leaner protein foods, like chicken and fish, can help. These steps can also help lower your cholesterol. I'd suggest that you make an appointment with a dietitian for more specific guidance, however. Also, don't forget about physical activity: Aim to do something, like walking, for at least 30 minutes a day.
Posted by: acampbell | Aug 14, 2013 07:49 AM
I am a 60 year old woman and have Beta Thalassemia Minor. Two years ago I was told I had pre-diabetes. My Ferritin levels have gone up to 1500 in the past. I started phlebotomy sessions about eight months ago to see if they could remove much of the iron in my body and take it down to a more manageable level of 300-400. Since having blood removed, I have found that my A1c level has dropped dramatically. In fact my last one was 5.5 which is in the normal range. I am still getting blood drawn once a month (16 oz) and will do so until my ferritin level is lower. It would be interesting to see if what is happening to my A1c would happen to others if they had regular phlebotomy sessions. What do you think?
Posted by: Marilyn | Sep 24, 2013 08:48 PM
Hi Marilyn, Your A1C level is essentially a snapshot of your blood glucose control over a period of 2–3 months. Removing blood can "artificially" lower your A1C, meaning that doing so is not really a true reflection of your diabetes control. Your blood glucose levels could still be high in between blood draws, and remember that it's the prolonged high blood glucose levels that can damage blood vessels and nerves, increasing the risk for complications.
Posted by: acampbell | Sep 26, 2013 10:26 AM
I logged onto the internet tonight to get some insight on why , all of a sudden , after having hba1c results of 6.5 on average for years on end, I now battle with daily blood sugar levels ranging from 12 to 22! I have low iron, my muscles cramp and my white bloodcell count shows i have an infection somewhere in my body and i am constantly tired. Then iread this article and instead of understanding my problem, i am even more in the dark! Do i take calsium or vit c supps? Both inhibit absorbtion from what i can see? I need advise. Plse help!
Posted by: annelise | Oct 02, 2013 06:04 PM
Hi annelise, Calcium can interfere with iron absorption, but that doesn't mean that you should stop taking a calcium supplement. You should, however, take your calcium supplement at least two hours apart from taking iron supplements or eating an iron-rich meal. Vitamin C actually helps with iron absorption, so there isn't an issue taking vitamin C and iron together.

I am a 71 year old diabetic2 female that was found to be anemic because of iron deficiency. A week ago I was given Venofer(Iron IV). Since then I cannot get my blood glucose to go below 134, before it was 101, 98. 84 100, had not gotten as high as it is now since diagnosed as Diabetic2. What do I do, I am still eating healthy like I was before blood glucose starting going up. Is there someone out there that has gone thru this or is going thru it now. And I am so exhausted every day, I can't stand it. Any advice for me?

I want to know how the intake of iron can affect the glucose level in the blood.
Posted by: dora k | Oct 18, 2013 10:06 AM
Hi dora k, I've been unable to find any link between dietary iron and blood glucose levels, other than the research showing that a high heme (animal-source) iron intake is linked with an increased risk of diabetes. If you are taking (or thinking of taking) an iron supplement, you should first discuss with your doctor and then check your blood glucose maybe a little more than you usually do to see if and how iron may affect your blood glucose.
Posted by: acampbell | Oct 21, 2013 02:54 PM
Hi Cande, I'm not very familiar with Venofer, but a quick search revealed that it possibly could increase blood glucose levels. I'm not sure if this is temporary or not. You should discuss this with your doctor. If your blood glucose levels are consistently running much higher than usual, ask your doctor about the best way to treat this (for example, starting on a new diabetes medicine or increasing the dose of one that you're currently taking). Depending on how high your blood glucose levels are running, you may feel very fatigued. However, your fatigue can also be due to your iron deficiency, which, hopefully, will be soon resolved. Continue to eat healthfully and as much as possible, fit some physical activity into your day. But certainly discuss your symptoms with your doctor.

Posted by: Steve Parker | Oct 19, 2014 09:54 AM
Hi Steve, I wasn't able to find too much information about iron infusions affecting blood sugar levels, although I did come across one study — in hamsters — that showed increased blood sugar after being given iron. Have you discussed this with your doctor? You mentioned that your diet did not change, but were there other factors that might have affected your blood sugar, such as illness, a decrease in physical activity, etc.? If you regularly receive iron infusions and notice an increase in blood sugar afterwards, the best course of action is to plan for this and increase your insulin doses accordingly. Keep a record of your blood sugar readings for a while after receiving an infusion to note any patterns — doing so can make it easier to adjust your insulin.

Borouge to Build Second Compounding Plant in China
11:26 PM MDT | May 27, 2010 | Deepti Ramesh
Borouge (Abu Dhabi) says it will build a compounding plant at Nansha, China, which will be the company's second compounding plant in the country. Borouge opened a 50,000-m.t./year compounding plant at Shanghai last month, which supplies compounded polyolefin resins to the growing Chinese automotive and household appliance industries. Construction of the Nansha plant is expected to be completed by mid 2012, and provision will be made to produce up to 105,000 m.t./year of compounded polypropylene resins, Borouge says.

Columbia City Manager Mike Matthes seems to be fond of revising tax-increment financing history. In "Columbia ponders increased use of popular public financing method," Matthes cited Independence, a suburb near Kansas City, as an example of a successful use of tax-increment financing. Does Matthes consider the Bass Pro Shops TIF in Independence a success? The city of Independence has had to kick in more than $4.1 million to cover bond payments associated with that project.

The 8X by HTC sports a 4.3" LCD 2 HD screen, which, if the One X display is any indication, should be a sight to behold, and has the respectable 342ppi pixel desnity. It ups the WP ante with a modern 28mm dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 chipset, 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory, thus equating its specs with the fierce WP8 competition in the face of the Samsung ATIV S, or the innnovative Nokia Lumia 920, which, however, has a lot more going for it with the PureView camera. How does the HTC 8X intend to differentiate from those? Why, Beats Audio, of course. The prominent branding is featured proudly on the back of the phone, promising deep bass sound and clearer audio. "The Windows Phone 8X by HTC featuring Beats Audio also offers a unique audio amplifier powering the 3.5mm audio jack and the speaker, boosting the audio signal for even better sound no matter if you're listening to music, playing a game or watching a video," says HTC. As for the sniping capabilities, we have an 8MP shooter on the rear with dedicated shutter key, equipped with HTC's exclusive ImageSense technology, which is essentially a proprietary ISP, allowing for some additional photo trickery, like ultra fast capture times, and continuous shot mode that takes multiple frames per second. It sports ultra wide f/2.0 aperture, just like on the Lumia 920. What's even more interesting, is that the 2MP front-facing shooter is with the same ultra wide 88 degree angle, "allowing up to four people and more to be captured at once", and can shoot 1080p video as well, which should make for some pretty clean and crowded Skype video calls.+ View Specs

Erect stems rise from a mat of red-tinged leaves. It will naturally form a mass of intense yellow.
Care: Can't imagine any soil these wouldn't grow in and in good soil they can be invasive to say the least. One plant will spread into an 18" mat in a season and keep going from there. Not difficult to knock back the mat but you have to be diligent and keep an eye for the stray seedling.

Cleanup of tree branches downed by an ice storm in Sioux Falls a month ago is nearing completion.
Public Works Director Mark Cotter says about 80 percent of the branches have been cleaned up, and one final pass through the city to pick up the rest will happen soon.
The ice and snow storm April 9-11 damaged and downed thousands of trees and also electrical lines, at one point cutting power to nearly 100,000 people in the region. Sioux Falls Mayor Mike Huether says the pace of the cleanup dubbed "Operation Timber Strike" has exceeded his expectations.
There is still work to be done after the cleanup. Cotter says grinding up the "tens of thousands of tons" of branch debris could take six months.

Reporting from West Louisville, Ky. - Three and a half months after the FCC canceled Roberts Broadcasting's construction permit for WAZE-DT CW19 (channel 19.1), I was surprised to discover upon arriving at Diamond Lake tonight that the station is on the air.
And not only is it still broadcasting (or, perhaps, resumed operations at some point), the Madisonville-based station is apparently doing so without official approval. The only licensed entities that should be showing WAZE are analog channels 4, 5 and 17, which are all licensed to Evansville ... and I'm not even sure if 4 and 5 are operating.
If the FCC has not approved of WAZE-DT's operation - and as far as I can determine, there has been no such authorization - it could mean a substantial fine ($10,000 minimum) for Roberts Broadcasting.
I'll keep an eye on this situation and let you know what happens.

No, it's not just that he doesn't wash it often (which I happen to find MANLY--as one who goes to many nightclubs in New York--all of them teeming with lame male model types--nothing repels me more than a man with a meticulously cared-for, extra-silky bob that he constantly tucks behind his ears). It's that on set, Twilight stylists use Redken mousse on R-Patz, and likely plenty of it.
Why does this matter to our primarily female readership? Because now you can go buy it and convince your boyfriend to let you do "the R-Patz" on HIS hair! If you're like me and don't have a boyfriend, you can just practice on a long-haired dog or something. (Bonus: Dogs are generally so out of it that you can dump glitter all over them and rename them Edward Cullen and they don't even notice.)
AND. Don't you love Kristen Stewart's Joan Jett haircut (in the Ali G. "Re-SPEK" way, at least)? And isn't it ironic that other starlets would probably sooner die than rock K-Stew's authentic mullet, yet willingly massacre their hair with heinously damaging extensions? And does anyone else think about these things besides me?

How to Store Fresh Oysters
Two Methods:Storing Fresh Oysters on the ShellStoring Fresh Oysters That are Shucked
People who love fresh seafood can catch their own oysters, or buy them live from fish markets or seaside fish stands. Raw oysters, like any fresh shellfish, are best consumed immediately. However, it is possible to store them for a few hours or even overnight if they are going to be used for a menu in the next couple of days. This can be done safely while preserving the taste and freshness as long as they are kept very cold. Store fresh oysters on in a refrigerator in order to keep them tasting delicious, or shuck them and freeze them for use at a later date.
Method 1 of 2: Storing Fresh Oysters on the Shell
1Stack the oysters on a clean, dry plate or baking tray. Lay them on their shells, so the fish is pointing up and not facing the plate.Ad
2Soak a clean, light kitchen towel in cold water and ring it out. The towel should be completely saturated with water, but not dripping or leaking.
3Place the wet towel gently on top of the oysters, covering the plate or the tray completely.
- Keep the towel wet. Continue to check it, and if it begins to dry out, soak it again and place it back on top of the oysters.
4Place the tray in the refrigerator, on the shelf that is closest to the freezer. Freezing the oysters will kill them, but it is important to keep them very cold. Do not place them under any raw meats that may leak onto the oysters. They can stay fresh in the refrigerator for 5 to 7 days.
5Shuck the oysters when you are ready to use them. Run them under cold water and remove them from their shells by scrubbing them with a stiff brush.
Method 2 of 2: Storing Fresh Oysters That are Shucked
1Lay shucked oysters on a plate and cover them with a wet paper towel. They can be kept in the fridge, on the shelf closest to the freezer, for 7 to 10 days.
2Freeze shucked oysters by covering them completely with water or liquor. Place them in the freezer for 3 to 6 months, but use them as soon as possible. When it is time to thaw them, do so in the refrigerator, not at room temperature.
We could really use your help!
estate planning?
Adobe Photoshop?
managing employees?
- Keep refrigerator temperatures between 35 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit (1.67 to 4.4 degrees Celsius).
- Leave the grit and dirt on the oysters when storing them in their shells. This will keep them moist and will help to insulate the fish.
- Do not store live oysters in air tight containers or plastic bags. They will die from a lack of oxygen.
- Do not store live oysters on ice because the melting fresh water could kill them.
Things You'll Need
- Large plate or tray
- Clean wet towel
- Refrigerator
- Stiff brush
- Paper towels

According to a recent survey by Zillow.com, three out of four U.S. homeowners think that the housing market has seen its worst days and a turn-around is near. Zillow.com sampled almost 1,400 homeowners around the country in early April and asked where they thought the housing market was headed. About half of homeowners living in Southern states and about 60% nationwide said that their houses were worth less than they were a year ago. Zillow.com estimates that actually about 70% of homes in the Southern region of the U.S. have lost value in the last year.
While people recognize that housing prices have been falling and the housing market is in a slump, they are far more optimistic about the future with three out of four homeowners believing that their homes' prices will increase or remain flat over the next 6 months. Homeowners are also eager to get back into the market with 30% saying they would be likely to put their house up for sale at the first sign of a market rebound.
This is great news for anyone looking for Palm Beach real estate. Housing prices are already low and with homeowners eager to sell, it could mean an increase in inventory which would lower prices even more. Fite Shavell & Associates has the professionals to help you find your dream home in Florida. With the current trend in the housing market and people ready to sell, right now is the best time to buy a new home.

"Ten Shimoyama's directing expertise including his unique vision is what makes "BLOOD" such a compelling film. We have a strong catalog of Japanese horror titles and "BLOOD" fits nicely into the mix."
Police Detective Hoshino (Kanji Tsuda) investigates the murder of a maid at a mansion belonging to Miyako Rozmberk (Aya Sugimoto), a seductive vampire mistress and "cougar" all in one. Ukyo Kuronuma (Jun Kaname), an Edo-era swordsman who was turned into a vampire by Miyako, is blamed for the crime, but before anything can be done about it Hoshino ends up under Miyako's spell as well. This leads Hoshino and Ukyo to battle one another for the privilege of staying with Miyako for eternity.

TIP OF THE HAT: Milliner Albertus Swanepoel has enjoyed both editorial exposure and critical accolades (he has been nominated for both a CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Award and a Swarovski Award for Accessory Design), but those lucrative corporate collaborations have thus far eluded him. No more: Swanepoel is anticipating a higher profile this coming fall, with the roll-out of his alliance with U.S. hat manufacturer Stetson. "I reached out to Albertus because I thought there was something interesting about a designer of his caliber joining forces with an iconic American brand," said Pam Fields, chief executive of Stetson, which will produce between seven and 10 Swanepoel-designed styles. "We are going to let the retailers help us edit [the collection] down," Fields said, noting the company plans to target retailers including Barneys New York, Bergdorf Goodman and Saks Fifth Avenue as well as specialty hat shops. While the silhouettes are classic — Swanepoel was influenced by the brand's history, as well as Sherlock Holmes and the Bauhaus movement — the hats also have contemporary flourishes (brightly colored linings, for instance). "[It's] a great opportunity for me to inject a more modern sensibility into their designs and create more unisex hats that will have a broader appeal," Swanepoel explained. "They are the Rolls-Royce of hats to me, in America." Swanepoel's collection, which will be produced on a season by season basis, will retail for $180 to $300.

Brite-View Streams 1080p Content From PC to TV With HDelight
This one is definitely the smallest of the three, with the ability to turn any HDMI-ready computer into a wireless home theater PC. Brite-View has made this one remarkably easy to use; just plug the USB-powered transmitter into the computer's HDMI port, and the receiver into the TV's HDMI port. There's no extra software to install or anything. The HDelight can transmit 1080p content up to 30 feet without latency, and even Blu-ray Players are supported.
The unit is up for pre-sale now at $179.99, which is far cheaper than the $1k+ units that did the same thing just a couple of years ago.
brite-View HDelight Turns HDMI-Ready PCs Into Wireless HTPCs
Web and PC Content Such as Netflix, Hulu, YouTube and 1080p Blu-ray Movies Transfer from PC to TV Wirelessly
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- brite-View by Xpike Innovation today launched the HDelight (BV-1222), the company's third WHDI solution for the home theater. The HDelight is the most compact of the three, and further differentiates itself with the ability to turn any HDMI-ready computer into a wireless home theater PC.
Using the HDelight is easy. Just plug the USB-powered transmitter into the computer's HDMI port, and the receiver into the TV's HDMI port. The user can then immediately start enjoying any content available on the computer on the flat-screen HDTV, including Blu-ray movies, Netflix, Hulu and YouTube. This plug-and-play solution requires no software installation. The HDelight can transmit 1080p content up to 30 feet without latency, so PC gamers can enjoy the full rush on a large-screen TV.
One of the YouTube videos brite-View pre-released for the HDelight addressed a common "multi-tasking" scenario. Using the dual monitor display on your PC, the HDelight lets you watch a Netflix movie on TV while simultaneously checking your Facebook status.
"brite-View is the market leader for WHDI solutions that enrich HD entertainment experiences," says Robert Lo, CEO of Xpike Innovation. "With the HDelight, you can enjoy web or PC content on TV without having to spend $2,000 for the new connected TV. Because Boxee software is installed on the PC and smart phones work as remote controls, you don't need other boxes around the TV."
The HDelight MSRP is $179.99, but on www.brite-view.com, it is available for pre-order for $159.99. brite-View is also holding a sweepstakes, and on October 28, 2010 one lucky person will win the HDelight and Logitech diNovo Mini bundle.
Are you able to fire over video streamed from VLC Media Player as well?
I'm a complete noob when it comes to this stuff but it would be sweet to be able to watch my backed up anime on tv instead of on a 22" monitor. My poor anime collection was mostly wiped out years ago but I was smart enough to make back ups.
good to see that the price came down a bit!
180 might stil be to much for a niche?
