Made this cake for my Great nephew's 23rd birthday celebration on Sunday. It was a "Hit"! Does not taste "diabetic-friendly" in the least! There was probably 20 people there for lunch ... nobody would have known it was "diabetic-friendly" if I hadn't told them.

I saw these in the store and loved them so much that I bought them despite being too big. The are very flattering, covering all the bad points and showing all the good of my feet.

These are great shoes in comfort and style. The wedge is not too high so you don't get the pressure on the ball of your feet. The strap comes low enough on the toes to cover some of my too long toes. :) If you have them, you know what I mean. I plan on getting a pair in black, also.

Arrest made in Jackson Co. domestic violence case
By Staff
JEFFERSON - A Talmo man is being held in the Jackson County Jail without bond after being arrested Monday on charges stemming from a domestic violence investigation.
According to Jackson County Sheriff Janus Mangum, the investigation began on May 25th when deputies from Jackson County were called to Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville to meet with a female, said to be the victim of domestic violence.
The victim, whose identity has not been released, told authorities that she had been repeatedly abused by her live-in boyfriend, later identified as 21-year-old Gary Michael Elliott, over the course of the previous three months. The deputies would go on to report that the victim had numerous cuts, bruises, cigarette burns and stab wounds covering a large portion of her body.
As the investigation continued to unfold, the Sheriffs Office was able to obtain a search warrant for Elliotts home. Mangum said that evidence corroborating the victims report, along with quantities of marijuana, methamphetamine and other drug paraphernalia, were discovered inside the home during the course of the search.
Following his arrest on Monday, Elliott was charged with two counts of family violence simple assault, family violence battery, family violence false imprisonment, possession of marijuana and possession of methamphetamine as a result of the investigation. Mangum added that Elliott also had two outstanding probation violation warrants against him at the time of his arrest.
Mangum emphasized that citizens are encouraged to notify their local law enforcement agencies of any suspicious persons, crimes or other relevant information by calling 911 or the Jackson County Sheriffs Office.

up and running—is no longer valid. The committee believes, however, that there are important, well-targeted roles for the federal partner.
One of the most important roles is that of contributor to the funding of those extension programs that provide public goods that cross or transcend political boundaries. These programs lack the impetus of incentives for private funders, and states will tend to underfund such programs because their own producers and taxpayers cannot sufficiently appropriate the benefits.
Programs that introduce new technologies or management practices that reduce off-farm environmental damage often have these transboundary, public-good qualities. Environmental problems are often regional in nature because aquifers, rivers, soil, air, and smoke do not respect state lines (U.S. Congress, 1995). Additionally, broadly applicable technologies often "spillover" rapidly to the benefit of producers in other states and even other nations, and so their adaptation and dissemination tends to be underfunded by both the private sector and states. In this context, the federal partner can help the system realize considerable gains in efficiency by providing the incentives for states to engage in regional and other collaborative extension efforts (see Recommendation 3).
A second important role is that of financial supporter of those programs that provide public benefits where the constituency at the state and local levels lack economic means and political effectiveness. Human nutrition education is a good example because those most in need are economically and politically disadvantaged. The benefits to society of improving the nutritional status of infants and children and pregnant and lactating women, however, are well recognized and include reduced infant mortality, reduced health care costs, and improved development and learning abilities (National Research Council, 1994b). Another important function of such programs is providing marketing information and analyses for low-income and small-scale (such as many niche-market) farmers—clients who are typically unable to conduct such analyses on their own. They are, nevertheless, important providers of direct-marketed fruits and vegetables and other specialty products—a growing demand of U.S. consumers.
A third important role is that of a leader in reforging linkages between extension information and education, on the one hand, and land grant university research on the other. The federal government initiated the components of the land grant system—teaching, research, and extension—in separate phases: as each was implemented, it became clear that the next was needed. Despite the recognition that it was the integrated complex that was important, the separate pieces of legislation spawned separate funding systems and separate administrative structures. Agricultural research and extension have understandably diverged over the years for many reasons related to both internal and external forces. If extension of the future is to have the key place in the land grant model that it was meant to have, efforts must be made to mend the link, and the committee believes the federal government can and should have an important role in doing so (see Recommendation 4).
A fourth major role for the federal government involves ensuring accountability and equity in the use of federal funds for extension programs. This can be done by leading the way and working with state extension services to develop performance measures and standards (see Chapter 2 section, Accountability and Funding Principles).
A fifth and related role is that of acting as a national repository for data and information on extension programs; such a repository should benefit both extension users and extension suppliers. The data reporting system for public extension expenditures has been both less systematic and less accessible than that for research expenditures. Additionally, extension spending categories have changed significantly over time, making it difficult for users and analysts (as well as extension administrators) to assess changes in resource allocation (Fuglie et al., 1996). In the role of national repository, the federal government can assure that effective, successful programs at the regional, state, and local levels receive national recognition and, where appropriate, become national models.

Different people come up with different New Year resolutions each year, including health goals, exercising or losing weight or even reducing on booze. But, a couple from Melbourne has pledged to go on a marathon.
It has been found that it is not a short-distance marathon. They would be running everyday for the whole year around Australia, literally. The aim of the couple in their 60s is to raise awareness about the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle.
Murray had been diagnosed with the deadly breast cancer and was told that she could live only for six months more. However, a diet of raw foods with exercise helped her to recover.
Janette Murray-Wakelin with her husband Alan Murray has already begun with their marathon from Melbourne's heart. January 1, they ran in Melbourne's Federation Square. It is being said that further, they would be running anti-clockwise on the Princess Freeway. Their marathon would end up back in the city on New Year Eve only.
"I think with our age that's something to inspire people it's never too late to make changes and to think more consciously about what they're doing so that they're healthier", Murray-Wakelin said.

White Teen Guilty of Molesting 2 Year Old, First Blamed Crime on Imaginary Black Man
When will some of these racist white folk stop blaming crimes on black people? Contrary to popular belief, all crimes are not committed by black men or women. With all of the exonerated black inmates that have been freed just in the last year, this excuse to not face their own consequences is old and tired. It really is, folks! Apparently, some parents have not taught their children that racism is a cop out, despicable and evil.

FOCUS Meet two seasoned managers, who, over the years, have ensured rewarding Fridays for their star clients
T he adage that behind every successful man there stands a woman isn't quite right when it comes to Bollywood, primarily because every triumph of a star is built upon the blood and sweat of a tireless secretary or a public relations manager.
He is the person who paves the way for glitz, glamour, money and fame but also the one who takes all the flak and brickbats without a murmur for all the wrongdoings of a celebrity.
Largely confined to anonymity, this Man Friday endures umpteen tensions and heartaches to remove inevitable problems that come as by-products of fame. Sacrificing personal dreams, aspirations as well as family life, he works well beyond normal hours just to ensure that the spotlights never deserts his protégé!
Milton's famous lines that "they also serve, who stand and wait" aptly sums up the life and times of Raju Kariya who has put many an artiste on the victory podium.
A self taught man, Kariya came to Mumbai to become an actor but changed gears when he realised he wasn't made for the silver screen and while he may have lacked star quality himself, the dust and grime blessed him with rare instincts to pick "horses for courses".
It speaks volumes about Kariya's management skills that despite being an unlettered student from Amravati, he made a name for himself in a highly competitive industry and chose winners like Govinda, Akshay Kumar, Sonu Nigam, Ronit Roy and several others when they were non-entities and had no takers for their talent.
Moulding his sartorial lifestyle like Jeetendra had made Raju Kariya a rage in his home town but when he was unable to meet either his idol or get a role in Mumbai, it forced him to stay put as going back meant an enormous loss of face before friends and family.
Though he worked as an auto-rickshaw driver for survival, Kariya never lost his zest for life nor his zeal to provide bread, butter and advice to other strugglers!
Kariya's knack of befriending everyone from a journalist to a studio gatekeeper made such a lasting impression on veteran film publicist S. Khan that he took him under his wings as a fulltime assistant.
The hard work paid off handsomely and till date Kariya has handled PR work for over 650 films and several dozen stars, which probably might be an all time record in film history.
Destiny rules
Despite being adored as a friend, philosopher and guide by many, Kariya has no qualms in admitting that liaison only helps in creating contacts and opening doors but stardom is ordained by destiny.
It's a viewpoint with which Rakesh Nath agrees wholeheartedly. Having groomed superstars like Madhuri Dixit and Anil Kapoor, Nath is not only regarded as amongst the top star secretaries in Bollywood but also an astute observer of film fraternity.
Many ascribe the million dollar success of Madhuri Dixit and Anil Kapoor to his painstaking planning and coordination but Nath humbly submits that "we ensure a respectable platform for the performer but fame and success are intertwined with several unfathomable factors like script, presentation and luck."
However, he does concede that inept management of star affairs, dates or media briefings can play havoc with anyone's career and an efficient manager is an essential aide to climb "ladders of success".
Unlike many of his ilk who wanted to act, Nath came from Punjab to produce a film.
Hailing from a well-to-do landlord family of Hoshiarpur, he had adequate money as well as educational competence and felt confident that he could give shape to his cinematic vision. However, after several years brought nothing except a dwindling purse and loads of experience, Nath changed tracks when the then reigning star Ranjeeta sought his assistance to sort out her date problems.
Despite launching several prominent achievers like Madhuri Dixit, Anil Kapoor, Shilpa Shirodkar, Namrata Shirodkar, Adnan Sami, Kangana Ranaut and Sukhwinder Singh into the stellar orbit, Nath downplays his own contribution as a star maker.
He hates being dubbed as a mentor since "my relationship is like a family member who is concerned about a dear one's growth". Kariya too opines that "networking may be important for obtaining work, yet destiny alone ensures an artiste's popularity and success."
Both Nath and Kariya assert that a long association between an artiste and the manager leads to strong bonds of faith and understanding.
Shared confidences as well as vicissitudes of struggle bring not just greater appreciation of efforts but also mutual dependence that goes beyond words.
Both managers confess that their star clients are now "dear relatives" and their interactions are well beyond the scope of price tags.
Just as Govinda and Akshay still credit Kariya with inspiring them during their lean phases, Kariya acknowledges Ronit Roy's benevolence in issuing a blank cheque to doctors to provide the best possible treatment when Kariya had a brain haemorrhage.
And though Madhuri certainly holds a special place in Nath's family, Shilpa and Anil Kapoor too have been his pillars of strength in adversity.
It is precisely for this reason that the two veterans feel that modern PR firms can never replace the care and attention of an evolved secretary, who is sensitive to the personal traits and preferences of an artiste.
While Nath feels modern stars are over estimating the reach and competence of corporate PR firms, Kariya is horrified that "most stars pay for media inserts or page three stories, without realising that PR firms are making them lose their exclusivity."
Nath believes lack of an emotional bond does not augur well for future since "corporate PR firms keep people in news but do not add to their intrinsic value".
Perhaps these are pointers of the changing times we live in, but with sensitive people like Raju Kariya and Rakesh Nath gradually fading in number, is it any wonder that Bollywood 'stars' are losing their sheen faster than ever before ?
