We're happy to feature one more of our 2014 DiabetesMine Patient Voices Scholarship Contest winners today — another empowered advocate who'll be attending our Innovation Summit in November.
Meet fellow type 1 Heather Gabel, who's been featured here at the 'Mine during the past year thanks to all her awesome advocacy work — including founding a mentoring program for kids and young adults called Beta Connect. Many of us in the Diabetes Online Community (DOC) know Heather through her previous work at the Diabetes Hands Foundation, her personal blog, and of course her beloved dog Lancet The Pug! She's from California like me, but her recent move to Arizona has opened up a new chapter in her life.
We're excited to welcome Heather back with a brief Q&A updating us on her work, and what led her to becoming one of our Patient Voices winners!
DM) We always like to start off learning the story behind your start with diabetes…
HG) I was diagnosed at 11 years old in 2001. {Editor's Note: we feel old!} I had all the usual and terrifying symptoms, extreme weight loss, frequent trips to the bathroom, needing as much water as I did air. It was new to my family, and as much as I liked being a leader, this wasn't a frontier I was happy to traverse. Luckily, I found a lot of support in my family and beyond.
How did you get involved in D-advocacy?
My diabetes advocacy began in my senior year of college at UC Berkeley. I started an organization dedicated to implementing youth mentorship programs in local hospitals (see Beta Connect). From there, I began work at the Diabetes Hands Foundation (DHF) post graduation in 2012. Working there helped me to fully realize the strength of the diabetes community, online and off. Since, I have become a member of the Diabetes Advocates, began attending diabetes conferences, created and maintained a diabetes blog, become friends with many people in the DOC, and rooted my interest in research within the diabetes field. I'll be attending the Medicine X conference at Stanford as an e-Patient Scholar in September, along with fellow advocates Scott Strange, Kim Vlasnik, and Chris Snider. And in March I will be on the team of facilitators for the Diabetes UnConference in Las Vegas.
That's exciting! Is this your main gig now?
Well, I recently got engaged, and moved to Arizona to be with my fiancé. I now work at a brewery and online on various diabetes-related projects, including of course my diabetes blog, Unexpected Blues.
Congrats on that! We were wondering, what did you learn from your time working at the non-profit DHF?
It would not be exaggerating to say that working at Diabetes Hands Foundation taught me everything I know about diabetes advocacy, including the assertion that there is always more to learn and in that vein, more to accomplish. The two most important aspects of advocacy I learned while there is that our community is full and strong and that self-identifying as an advocate is the first step toward joining the collective mission.
So how do you define "patient advocate" in your mind?
Anyone who looks critically at their care as a patient and vocalizes the strengths and downfalls of it is a patient advocate, in my eyes. It doesn't matter whether the issue is improving technology, getting improved tech into more hands, addressing psychosocial barriers to personal health and well-being, or some other focus area. Anyone looking to help improve life with and care for people with any chronic illness is a patient advocate.
We've heard you're also working on a project relating to emotions and blood sugars… can you share more on that?
Yes, I recently began a research/art project called The BG Feels. I am collecting emotional and blood glucose data from members in the Diabetes Online Community for one-week periods and searching for correlations between overall feeling/emotion/disposition and blood glucose level. I plan to showcase any results I find on a website via info-graphic and testimony after my collection period and analysis is complete. Further, I plan to create a large art piece describing the correlations and share it throughout the DOC. I'd like to keep up the effort and eventually offer personalized data compilation, analysis, and creative showcasing. If anyone is interested in becoming involved, I'd love for them to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
OK, we have to ask you about Lancet the Pug… what's the story behind that little pup's name?
Mike Lawson at the Diabetes Hands Foundation and I both LOVE pugs. I was ready for a puppy and when I told Mike, he was (of course) all for it! When I started looking for 'the one', Mike and I brainstormed names. We probably came up with 40-50 names, and the last one that made the list was Lancet. Mike drove with me to pick him up and as soon as I saw my wiggly, eye-contact confident, attitude-full pup, I was sure that Lancet would be his name. In the car, Mike suggested that he ought to be a Sir, and so I doth named him: Sir Lancet The Pug. (#LancetThePug)
You've got a lot going on… So what inspired you to enter our Patient Voices Contest?
I attended the DiabetesMine Innovation Summit last year on behalf of the Diabetes Hands Foundation and it was unlike any other conference I'd been to before. The patient voices were present and strong. In fact, the patients essentially directed where the conversation would go. If I was so bold as to say, history was made. I watched and I listened and I learned. Who wouldn't want to be a part of a movement integrating the patient voice?!
What kind of hopes and expectations do you have going into this year's Innovation Summit?
I hope that as a collective group of patient voices, we can bring something vital to the conversation as I saw occur last year. I would like to to add something that other attendees wouldn't have access to in a conference that didn't invite and promote the patient perspective so artfully. As one of those patient voices, I hope to be a part of the shaping of the collective. I want to lend my experiences and articulate self-awareness to the group dynamic.
How can this kind of advocacy potentially make a real-world impact?
We have a chance to make our lives and the lives of other people with diabetes better. Right now, companies are more widely including patient perspectives in their product design, testing, and marketing campaigns. We can help producers of the technologies that we use daily to survive improve their products to be easier and more efficient for us. A cure might be close, but in the meantime there is a ton of work to do towards the goal of improving quality of life for people with diabetes.
We couldn't agree more, Heather! That is of course the goal of our DiabetesMine Test Kitchen program overall. We can't wait to see you at the Summit this Fall.

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals get 'outstanding effort' in OTAs
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Organized Team Activities, or "OTAs" as they're affectionately known, serve a purpose.
An optional get together of sorts, most teams expect participation to be near 100 percent over the three week-long event.
Minus a few veterans here and there, the Arizona Cardinals had that, and when kicker Chandler Catanzaro booted a field goal through the uprights Thursday, everyone got to go home early as OTAs officially came to a close.
"We've been having outstanding participation and outstanding effort," Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said. "We started out great practice today. Chandler struggled; he missed a game-winner earlier in the week. He missed three out of four down there."
Arians said the goal was to see if undrafted free agent had anything.
"There's no more pressure than peer pressure, and he knocked it down the pipe. That told me a lot about him, and he passed a pretty good test for his peers."
Catanzaro is one of three kickers the team currently has on the roster and would appear to be a longshot to make the team. But he finished OTAs on a high note, which left an impression on the coaching staff.
But doing well in this setting will only get you so far, as everyone will tell you that until the players put on pads and start hitting each other, it's tough to really get a feel for what someone can do.
"It's mostly assignments and competition, especially amongst the skill players," Arians said of what is to gain from OTAs.
And if nothing else, the last few weeks offered a chance to get an early look what figure to be the team's more notable competitions going forward. Who will emerge as the right tackle between Bobby Massie, Bradley Sowell and Nate Potter?
"We're going to keep throwing all three guys in there and see who comes out on top," Arians said. "Bobby's done very well, Bradley is inconsistent and Nate is probably the smartest of the three, it's just a matter of physically holding up."
It also gives the coaches an early peek at some of their first-year players. When asked who stood out among the rookies, Arians was quick to point to receiver John Brown.
"He's way ahead of most rookies, and coming from a small school that's unusual," he said. "But it doesn't overwhelm him at all. He learns fast and he can apply it fast."
Of course, the real test for Brown and everyone else will be to do it when the pads are on and people are getting hit, which won't happen until the team starts training camp in a little more than a month.
But until that time comes, all anyone can do is get the most out of what they're allowed to do.

Snow Leopard Services in practice: Amazon S3 uploader
I stumbled upon a great example of the Snow Leopard Services that I've been drooling over. The S3 Upload Service by August Lilleaas is available as a workflow which can be opened in Automator, so you can examine its inner workings. It uses AppleScript and Ruby, easily passed back and forth thanks to Automator's building-block-style workflow. It lets you upload a publicly-accessible file to an S3 bucket, and copies the URL into your clipboard upon successful upload.
The workflow requires that you at least have RubyGems installed, and have an Amazon S3 account set up, but it will handle the rest. It asks for your S3 credentials with an AppleScript popup, which has the unfortunate side effect of not being able to be forced to the front very easily and tends to get lost behind other windows. There are workarounds to that, but no way to keep it on top once it's up. It looks possible to build custom nibs for your services, so I might play around with making a general-purpose utility panel popup to fill the void in my own projects.
In the process of rolling my own Services in Snow Leopard, I've definitely found some limitations, but I'm having fun working around them. This one is a great example of passing results -- returned from different languages -- and processing them, all within Automator. It's not super-polished -- your mileage may vary -- but a big thanks to August for putting it out there for the rest of us to play with!

WATCH – Australians Need To Stop Pushing People Off Balconies.
Some dumb Australians holidaying in Canada decided after a two-day bender that it would be fun to dump their sleeping buddy off the second floor balcony of their ski-slope chalet.
As one of these idiots allegedly said:
"Our mate Snowy passed out half naked on the couch after a 2 day bender. He needed a wake up, so we threw him off the second story balcony of our house into the snow."
They're lucky Snowy didn't break his neck.
According to Live Leak, the video was allegedly pulled from You Tube and Facebook after complaints, and there are supposedly "rumours of a potential police investigation."
WATCH – 'Old Dogs And New Tricks' Season Three Trailer.
Good. I am sooooo looking forward to this. I feel very protective of Leon and 'ODANT'. As soon as I stumbled upon it very early on I clicked with his humour and new exactly what he was trying to say about men like us, (ya know, in gay years, we're dead). His wit and humanity shine through the first seasons so cannot stand to wait to see what happens next. This is one of the few shows where I want to fuck the entire cast, and use their tears for lube, (GOT is the other). But they all do magnificent work and will be fascinating to see the developments in the 'Season of the Divas'. Huge thanks and love to the men and women behind the show. It is the bomb.
The season premiere picks up one week after the events of the show's recent Halloween-set "mini-movie" WeHo Horror Story (www.hulu.com/watch/680978), with Nathan reeling from Damian's disappearance and Ross preparing for his impending gay divorce. But this year, the show expands its scope:
"We still see the guys' romantic misadventures," explains show creator/writer/star Leon Acord. "But this year, we also see more of their successes and mistakes in their professional lives. We may have fewer sex scenes this year, but the ones we have are more outrageous than ever–including the show's first bare ass!"
The new season also features guest-star appearances from Rutanya Alda (Mommie Dearest), who plays Nelson Van Eddy's haughty personal assistant Barbara Fierce in four episodes. Mo Gaffney (Absolutely Fabulous) appears in the season premiere as Ross' divorce attorney, while Kathryn Leigh Scott (Dark Shadows) plays Muscles' mom, Lily Anne, in the season finale. Jim J. Bullock (Too Close for Comfort) makes a cameo as Nathan's latest celebrity-quack therapist.
The entire principal cast returns for the new season. Besides Acord as neurotic talent agent Nathan, the show stars Curt Bonnem as hedonistic Brad, Jeffrey Patrick Olson as wholesome Muscles, David Pevsner as struggling actor Ross & Amanda Gari (in an expanded role) as Nathan's wise-cracking "girl-Friday" Lydia Lasker. Bruce L. Hart appears in three episodes as resident villain Nelson, as does Parnell Damone Marcano as Ross' estranged spouse Neal.
USE – Transparent Solar Panels Are Now A Thing.
August 19, 2014
Michigan State University
Researchers have developed a new type of solar concentrator that when placed over a window creates solar energy while allowing people to actually see through the window. It is called a transparent luminescent solar concentrator and can be used on buildings, cell phones and any other device that has a flat, clear surface.
A team of researchers at Michigan State University has developed a new type of solar concentrator that when placed over a window creates solar energy while allowing people to actually see through the window.
It is called a transparent luminescent solar concentrator and can be used on buildings, cell phones and any other device that has a clear surface.
And, according to Richard Lunt of MSU's College of Engineering, the key word is "transparent."
Research in the production of energy from solar cells placed around luminescent plastic-like materials is not new. These past efforts, however, have yielded poor results — the energy production was inefficient and the materials were highly colored.
"No one wants to sit behind colored glass," said Lunt, an assistant professor of chemical engineering and materials science. "It makes for a very colorful environment, like working in a disco. We take an approach where we actually make the luminescent active layer itself transparent."
The solar harvesting system uses small organic molecules developed by Lunt and his team to absorb specific nonvisible wavelengths of sunlight.
"We can tune these materials to pick up just the ultraviolet and the near infrared wavelengths that then 'glow' at another wavelength in the infrared," he said.
The "glowing" infrared light is guided to the edge of the plastic where it is converted to electricity by thin strips of photovoltaic solar cells.

typically sleep only 6 to 6.5 hours. Polysomnography (sleep studies using electroencephalogram [EEG], electro-occulogram [EOG], and electromyogram [EMG] recordings) have shown more wakefulness and less slow-wave (deep) sleep in the final third of sleep episodes while in space and marked increases in rapid eye movement (REM or dreaming) sleep after return to earth (Dijk et al., 2001).
Astronauts frequently use hypnotics during flights (Putcha et al., 1999), and stimulants are available to ensure alertness during critical phases of the mission. Like Air Force pilots, as discussed earlier, astronauts are allowed to decide whether to take stimulants (usually dextroamphetamine). A final selection from Apollo 13 illustrates one astronaut's decision-making process regarding the use of stimulants:
In the spacecraft, Lovell, Haise, and Swigert were in their accustomed places, all awake and all feeling reasonably alert. Lovell had decided against the Dexedrine tablets Slayton had prescribed for his crew last night, knowing that the lift from the stimulants would be only fleeting, and the subsequent letdown would leave them feeling even worse than they did now. For the time being, the commander had decided, the astronauts would get by on adrenaline alone. (Lovell and Kluger, 1994:318)
Fatigue countermeasures programs usually consist of an educational component (Comperatore and Kingsley, undated; Comperatore et al., 2001; Intermodal Transportation Institute, 2000a; NASA Ames Research Center, 1997; Smith-Coggins et al., 1997) and sometimes include schedule alterations (Intermodal Transportation Institute, 2000a; Sussman and Coplen, 2002). Employees are generally given information about circadian rhythms, sleep hygiene measures, shiftwork and its adverse affects, and a variety of strategies that can be used to counter fatigue (e.g., judicious use of caffeine, napping during night shifts) (NASA Ames Research Center, 2001; Rosekind et al., 1997). Some industries have also added information about sleep disorders to their presentations (Intermodal Transportation Institute, 2000a). Managers are urged to consider altering the starting times of shifts whenever possible to make schedules more compatible with circadian rhythms; to avoid scheduling employees to work more than two or three consecutive night shifts; and to provide adequate recovery times between shifts, especially when an employee is rotating off night shift. By 1997, 497 people from 230 organizations in 17 countries had participated in a 2-day trainers' workshop run by the NASA Ames Fatigue Countermeasures Group (NASA Ames Research Center, 1997). Attendees have included representatives from all areas of aviation; other modes of transportation, including the rail, trucking, and maritime industries; health care; the petrochemical industry;

Use ispconfig as a backup MX?
I would like to setup a backup mx service on my ispconfig 3.2 server. I have read through my manual and have concluded that the way to do this would be the following.
configure email routing
Domain = exampledomain.com
type= smtp
No MX lookup = unchecked
Destination = mail.exampledomain.com
sort by = 5
active = checked
configure Relay recipients
Relay recipient = @exampledomain.com
active = checked
This assumes also that my dns mx Auxiliary Info records are set correctly so that this ispconfig server has a higher AI than the primary mail server at mail. exampledomain.com
so is this the right way to go about it?

We focus our attention towards the HR side in the human capital management side of our clients and over the last few years see ourselves with a client base in excess of 2000 different companies with a 90% plus retention rate, which is historical. If you think of a business owner, a business owner starts lot of times in their garage. They build a product; they have a product that works. They step out and sell the product; they find themselves reaching their own capacity level, so they add an employee and another employee, another employee.
They get to about 10 employees and now they have hired all other friends and so now they have to hire people they don't know. They hire 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 person on day-to-day basis. They can go around the room and they can touch and they can help to control the success of organization by impacting each person's outcome by direct interface. Some of them find themselves with 16, 17, 20-25 employees and all of a sudden the dynamic changes. And we will like to think that a business owner can manage the business tactically up to about 15-20 employees. But beyond that standpoint, they now have to start hiring layers of management back into their organization and the organization shifts from being able to run tactically to having a more dynamic complexion about it.
What we do is, we come in and help the business owner get their arms around all the pieces, help them to frame a management platform or a method for interfacing with that organization on a regular basis and help them to ultimately leverage the internal human capital that they had invested already.
The industry as a whole is pretty-vast. If you check just the HR industry, HR outsourcing look to be 162 billion by 2015 and then the consulting industry related to all facets of consulting is around 366 billion.

Arisa Kuhouin is slowly losing control over the Tennozu First High School student body, who are all currently in a state of turmoil. Rumors about the horrendous methods that the GHQ is dealing with those quarantined in Loop 7 are starting to float around, putting the students in an even more panicked state. How long will Arisa manage to contain the school's frenzy? Will the school get even more divided now that another rumor that says handing over the Undertaker members will give them safe passage out of the quarantined zone?
"The Everlasting Guilty Crown" by EGOIST
At school, Arisa tells her fellow classmates to have patience, but one student yells that they will all die anyway. A student asks her if they should investigate Loop 7. In another room, Shu and others watch Arisa from the TV. One student requests that they should elect a new president since Arisa is going to wait for her grandfather and not fulfilling her leadership roles.
The next day, Hare directs everyone to take the vaccine, and Yahiro shows them the chat room where the students are planning to overthrow Arisa. Tsugumi tells them that's not surprising, and she runs off after Souta offends her. Later, the student with glasses reveals a gun. In front of a lake, Inori asks Tsugumi if she's lonely, too. She finds Shu eavesdropping behind a tree, and she hands him a gauge that measures genomic resonance or Void's strength. Shu measures everyone's Void's strength. Then, they wonder about Tsugumi's Void with Kanon holding her down. Later that night at a tower, Keido asks for the status report. He orders them to begin Operation: Purify Japan. The Enclaves start killing the citizens who are in the red light. The walls move to keep the quarantined space smaller. Back at school, the student informs Arisa about the Koenji massacre. At the same time, Arugo and Ogumo thank Arisa's grandfather, and he asks them to save the citizens. At school, the students get a message about handing the Funeral Parlor members in exchange for going over the wall. Hare wants Shu to run for student president, and Tsugumi give a rich lady laugh. Suddenly, they hear a scream from the courtyard where students are hurting a girl to check the tattoo on her back. Even though Inori got bullied earlier, she appears to be safe when Shu rushes to find her. However, the guys were killed off-screen. Ayase is seen with the guys who bullied her from the last episode. Tsugumi helps her even though Ayase doesn't want her help. Arisa holds an assembly to tell her classmates to dispel the rumors.
However, the bullies have captured Tsugumi and Ayase, and they proceed to strip the girls. Shu stops the crowd due to his reputation of being an Enclave. He tells them that he is part of the Funeral Parlor and that he has an idea. Near the wall, the male student with the red ponytails reveal the Funeral Parlor members. Shu, Ayase, and Tsugumi are seen getting slaughtered in the red light, yet it is their dolls that Tsugumi's Void created. The video demonstrates the truth, but when the student with the glasses won't accept it, Shu disarms the guy with a Void Shuriken or a projectile of some sort. Yahiro nominates Shu as the president which everyone agrees. Later, Yahiro shows a map of all the Void strengths to Shu.

"I have been using etyres Telford for years and Phil has never let me down. I always receive great service when I have my tyres fitted at work and I know I am getting them at a good price."
P Leatham, Telford – 26/1/13
|Tell us about your etyres experience
etyres is a leading mobile tyre fitting company and we have a busy branch that covers Telford and the surrounding areas. We come to you to fit your new car, van, motorhome, caravan or trailer tyres at your work or home. Our prices are highly competitive for economy, mid-range and all the premium brand tyres and include fitting, a new valve, electronic balancing, disposal of the old tyre and VAT.
etyres Telford also repair punctures, which could save you quite a bit of money, plus we supply and fit batteries. Our mobile tyre fitting service also extends out to cover the surrounding areas, including Wolverhampton, Newport, Much Wenlock, Codsall and Shifnal.
Does half the cost mean half the quality?
If you are looking for car tyres you will notice some very high prices for the big brand tyres. Then you will notice the cheapest option and you may be inclined to think – are these tyres really that bad? Can the performance really be that much of a difference? After all, rubber is rubber right and they must be to the level of quality required to sell in the UK?
The major tyre companies undertake heavy research and development, looking into techniques surrounding the tread pattern, rubber compound, and the internal structure.
What did the car tyre test say?
Recently, the car buying magazine "What Car?" conducted this very test1. What was used in the test?
■Premium tyres: Michelin (£70), Goodyear (£60), and Continental (£58).
■Budget tyres: Arrowspeed (£44), Ovation (£37), and Sunew (£37).
■The car: Vauxhall Meriva
■Equipment: GPS-based timing equipment
Test 1 – stopping distances in dry conditions travelling at 70mph:
1.Michelin Pilot Sport 3 – 48.5 metres
2.Continental ContiPremium Contact 2 – 51.1 metres
3.Sunew YS112 – 52.2 metres
4.Goodyear Optigrip – 53.4 metres
5.Ovation VI-182 – 53.4 metres
6.ArrowSpeed CP661 – 53.9 metres
So comparing the best premium brand tyre against the worst budget tyre, the stopping difference was 5 metres longer for the budget tyre. Goodyear didn't fair too well in this test did they?
Test 2 – stopping distances in wet conditions travelling at 70mph:
1.Michelin Pilot Sport 3 – 59.5 metres
2.Goodyear Optigrip – 62.1 metres
3.Continental ContiPremium Contact 2 – 64.3 metres
4.ArrowSpeed CP661 – 68.2 metres
5.Ovation VI-182 – 76.0 metres
6.Sunew YS112 – 82.4 metres
Looking at that there are some shocking differences. The budget tyres took an average of 14 metres longer than the premium tyres.
Two other tests were undertaken measuring the lateral grip (with the premium tyres showing better grip) and the cabin noise generated (which was roughly the same overall). You can watch a short video of the tyre test conducted by What Car?.
Tyre Blog opinion on cheap budget tyres?
Looking back at the overall results it is clear that there isn't actually a direct correlation between the price of tyres and the quality of them. The stopping distances in the wet were alarming, but the rest of the tests show that there is only a small difference in quality – in some cases the budget beating the premium!
Phil from etyres Telford says,
If you notice that you need new tyres for your car, van, caravan or motor home, give etyres Telford a call on 0800 0289000 or the local branch a call on 0121 270 2594. We supply and fit many types of tyres including runflats, caravan tyres and brands including Continental, Michelin, Bridgestone, Pirelli, Firestone, Avon, Goodyear, Hankook, Yokohama, Falken, Kumho and many more. We also fit car battery and Tyron bands. If you wish to pay cash for your tyres rather than credit card call the local branch on 0121 270 2594 and we can offer this service, we can also fit tyres on the same day if stock is available.
Tyres are the vehicle's only point of contact with the road. The actual area of contact between the car and the road through the tyres is small, roughly equivalent to four size eight men's shoes. Bald tyres – 'slicks' – may be fine for a race car on a dry track, but no good at all for road vehicles on a wet road surface. Tyres treads are designed to pump water from the road surface and provide maximum grip. By the time the tread is worn down to the legal limit they will be unable to perform this task efficiently and MUST be replaced.
RoSPA recommends that worn tyres are replaced with an equivalent new unit well before the legal minimum tread limit of 1.6mm is reached – ideally as soon as they reach 3mm.
There is a fact sheet on the RoSPA website discussing Tread Depth and Wet Weather Stopping Distances.
The Right Tyres for the Vehicle
Motor vehicle manufacturers choose the type, make, size, profile, load carrying capacities and speed ratings to match their vehicles, adjusting the tyre pressures to give the optimum grip, ride and handling characteristics. Only change the type of tyres on your vehicle on expert advice from the vehicle manufacturer, or tyre manufacturer.

Government shelling kills 8 women in Syria
BEIRUT Intense shelling by Syrian government troops on a village in the country's south killed at least eight women and girls overnight as forces loyal to President Bashar Assad pushed ahead with an offensive against rebels near the border with Jordan, activists said Friday.
Buoyed by an influx of fighters from the Lebanese militia Hezbollah and other foreign Shiite Muslim militants, the Syrian regime has grabbed the initiative in the nation's more than 2-year-old conflict in recent weeks, capturing a strategic town near the border with Lebanon and squeezing rebel positions around the capital, Damascus.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the shelling overnight targeted the village of Karak, in eastern Daraa, and killed four women and four girls. The Observatory relies on a wide network of activists on the ground in Syria for its information
A video posted on a Facebook page of activists from Daraa showed the bodies of the women and children allegedly killed in the shelling wrapped in blankets placed on the ground of a home. Another video from the village showed residents carrying others wounded into vehicles amid wails by women and children and signs of panic.
The videos appeared genuine and were consistent with other AP reporting of the events.
The United Nations has estimated that more than 6,000 children are among the some 93,000 people killed in Syria's more than 2-year-old conflict, which started with largely peaceful protests against the rule of President Bashar Assad. The uprising morphed into an armed rebellion in response to a brutal government crackdown on the protest movement.
In recent weeks, government troops have gone on the offensive against rebel-held areas to try to cut the opposition's supply lines and secure Damascus and the corridor running to the Mediterranean coast, which is the heartland of the president's Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam.
Regime forces have also made inroads in the south. Syria's state news agency said Friday government troops were chasing "terrorist cells" in the city of Daraa, the birthplace of the anti-Assad uprising, as well as the surrounding countryside, including along the border with Jordan. It did not mention Karak.
SANA said 18 opposition fighters including Jordanians, a Saudi and a Chechen, were killed and weapons were seized. It did not refer to civilian casualties.
State-owned Al-Ikhbariya TV also reported that government forces seized a truck loaded with weapons and ammunition in the central Homs province apparently destined for rebel fighters. The truck included with anti-tank missiles, machine guns, shoulder propelled grenades and communication devices, the station said.
The United States and its allies recently said they will help arm the rebels amid reports that Washington's Gulf allies have already sent some much-coveted anti-tank missiles to select groups of fighters. The U.S. is still trying to sort out which rebels exactly will be given weapons and how, fearing that advanced arms may fall in the hands of Islamic extremists in the rebel ranks.
Meanwhile, the Observatory said a rare attack in Damascus's old city Thursday was caused by an explosive device planted near a Shiite charity organization. The attack, which killed four people, was first believed to be a suicide attack near a church.

Newbie with Questions - Headaches on DD & Desire to Binge on UD
Hi Everyone,
I've been on JUDDD for about 3 weeks now. I've been lurking around the threads reading and taking in information, but this is my first time posting. I'm having a hard time with severe headaches on DDs and the desire to binge on UDs. I've been low carb since 2009, mostly paleo/primal style eating and very clean - no processed foods. I workout about 5 days a week, although I've been taking it easy the past few months due to an injury. Overall I've lost close to 60 lbs, but have spent the last few years gaining and losing the same 20 lbs. Now I have 15 lbs to go for my goal weight. I was hoping this would be easier since I've been at this for so long and have tried intermittent fasting before.
I can usually get through a DD (390 cals) by drinking a lot of water and hot tea but I develop a bad headache in the middle of the day and have to leave work and go to bed early. I typically split may calories into two meals on a DD and don't eat the 1st until about 1:00 pm and then have dinner about 6:30 pm. On UDs I try to stay within my UD calories (1950 cals) but at night I go nuts and want to eat everything. I've dealt with this in the past, but was usually able to overcome it. Now I seem to have lost my willpower and self-control. Although the scale has me at a net 0 for weight loss/gain over the past few weeks (I may actually be down 0.6 lbs) I don't feel like I'm losing weight; I actually feel like I'm gaining. I'm 5'6, 145 lbs, 36 yrs old and trying to stay at 20-25% of calories. I'm going to switch up my schedule next week and do DDs - Sun, Tue, Thurs; UDs - Mon, Wed, Sat with an MD on Friday.
I haven't tried the Resveratrol, is it worth it? Would it help?
Any suggestions, words of wisdom, smack upside the head everytime I think about candy??

First - welcome!
Second - I'm assuming you're sticking to your clean/paleo/primal WOE while JUDDDing? My first thought was that if you abandoned your clean WOE maybe you're having a reaction to the carbs?
Most JUDDDers have found that the DDs get easier after a week or 2 when the SIRTs start flowing. However there are some JBs who have to raise their DD calories, and accept that losses might slow, because they just can't function on the lower DD calories. That might help?
I guess my first big question is still what are you eating? Its true that JUDDD doesn't care where the calories come from but you may find that your body cares.

Thanks Yennie!! I was hoping you'd reply.
You bring up a very good point. I've still been pretty clean. I'm gluten and lactose intolerant, so I have to be pretty careful when I do splurge. I usually allow myself a few non-paleo treats on 1 UD per week (chocolate or popcorn, maybe a few fries) but I'm still pretty clean the rest of time. I was enjoying the idea that I could 'eat anything' as long as it was within my calories, but that may be the issue. I add sugar, the cravings start, once I start I can't stop thinking about it, which then leads me to overdue 'healthier' foods.
Most of my over eating is through fat - nuts, nut butter, non-paleo mayo - and fruit. I also love protein, and will overeat that given the chance. (I was having dinner with a friend a few weeks ago, we were looking at the desert menu - she wanted chocolate and I wanted a ribeye - so odd) I tend to eat the same exact menu everyday - I'm single, hate to plan meals and like to just 'know' what I need when I go to the store. Honestly, it doesn't bother me and when I get sick of it, I'll change it up, but that's only about every 6 months or so.
Maybe I just need to stop all sugar again, let the cravings stop, and hope the weight loss continues. If my leg ever heals, maybe I can start really exercising again. I know part of my desire for food has been from depression due to lack of exercise more than anything.

Oh, man, I hear you on the nuts. I get those 3# bags of almonds & pecans from Costco - I could seriously put down one of those bags in a few days if given the chance. And I'm one that could sit & eat a jar of nut butter, any nut butter, with a spoon. I have since I was a kid. Its bad. I'd rather have a handful of pecans than M&Ms!
I think identifying trigger foods is really important. And I keep having to remind myself too that just because JUDDD doesn't care where the calories come from, my body does! I'm definitely not clean/primal/paleo but I try to lean more & more that way, heading towards about 70% PHD type eating. I won't give up meat but we raise all our own so I know its clean. This year's garden is going and I'm hoping to learn to can this year to preserve as much as we can for winter. I try to stay away from processed stuff as much as possible but I'll admit I sometimes eat garbage, but try to limit it. Mostly because it either 1) leads to a binge or 2) makes me feel like crap after. I'd say one of the biggest WINS for me since starting JUDDD/PHD/Potato hacks is the ability to look at a "yummy" food item and say, "Self, if you eat this, you will feel like **** in an hour. Is a few bites now worth feeling like **** all night long? Then put down the fork & walk away." And then actually following through!
You didn't mention what is wrong with your leg, and you certainly don't have to get into specifics if you're not comfortable but I wonder if there is an alternate form of exercise. Believe me, I get how you can get bummed just from that alone. Swimming, biking, yoga? Even going for a walk if you can't run? Anything to get the juices flowing. Gardening even?
Sorry if it seemed like I made this about me - I didn't mean to I just work better using examples and I'm my own best example because I know me best. I definitely think getting those last 15# off is important but I'm also coming to feel that our mental health as we get there is just as, if not more important.
Stick around & post often. We have a great group here and I'm sure you'll get more feedback as the other half of the world starts to wake up.

WOE: JUDDD Maintenance.

Did you do a 2 week induction with your calories at 500 or jump in at 390kcals? I'm wondering if shifting to a higher DD (at least for a 2 week expt.) would be worth it for you to see if that helps your headaches.
If you eat earlier in the day, is that unpleasant for you? Again, just wondering if a little lift from a morning meal might stall the headache or reduce it to something manageable.
Yennie is (as ever) spot-on with her comments. Monica (zip2play) has always adopted higher DD counts for sound reasons and still loses. Several JUDDDers with blood sugar or other issues find that they need a higher DD.
As you know from the Resveratrol thread, some people obtain excellent results from it. Some experienced JUDDDers like Cindy have commented that, from their observation, it seems that people derive the greatest benefit from it if they already have their SIRT1s flowing, and that contributes to people's mileage varying. (I developed headaches for the first 2 weeks when I took it which recently diminished but I still haven't increased the dosage so I can't report anything.)

Since I tend to have headaches I do not wait to eat. I eat breakfast every day and have no headaches due to low calories. Maybe the waiting until afternoon is causing the headaches. I have tried the "waiting " to eat until late and for me it is not the best way. I can do it but I am miserable whereas eating breakfast makes me happy on DD's. Just a thought.

Apologies, I'm in a post-migraine stupidity phase, I meant the pterostilbene thread. Some people experience appetite-suppression from pterostilbene (and that's what I'm taking although maybe on too low a dosage).

I put your numbers in the calculator and got 1712/347 , I think. Maybe you had the wrong numbers since you said something in your post about 1900. You are actually a healthy weight for your height so you may really have to fight to lose another 15 pounds, but if you want to, I think really bringing your DDs low will help. I had headaches in the beginning but it passed after a while. I think I had headaches for the first month.

I had headaches too in the beginning. I can't remember how long they lasted. I think it's fairly common though. I also took a very long time to lower my DD calories, which has slowed my losses quite a bit, but at only 3 wks you could still raise yours a little with no problems. Maybe the lower numbers that Carly worked out for you will make UDs easier.

I agree with girls here, try upping your DD calories. You can always go down later on. I hear you on the nuts- they are my trigger food for sure!
Maybe try ditching the sugar to diminish the cravings. Low carb always helps me to be in control.

Thanks for the advice everyone!! I really appreciate it!
Today I had a DD and up'd my calories as suggested and No headache!!!! Pretty excited about that. I also ate about an hour earlier than usual. I try to eat later in the day because once I do eat something I tend to be hungry the rest of the day. I could try a morning, evening plan and see how that goes.
I'm going to move forward with the numbers Carly suggested. Thank you! I know I was putting in light exercise, which seems to change the UD calories quite a bit. I'll try to keep my DD calories up at least for another week and see how it goes. I just started with the 350 this week and apparently my body wasn't ready for it yet.
Looking forward to next week!

I have the same problem on DDs. I have been taking ibuprofen around the clock on down days - it helps lessen the headache significantly. I literally schedule out my doses every 6 hrs so that I'm not taking the med after the fact of the headache getting really severe.

Do you have any caffeinated drinks on UDs that you don't have on DDs?

Highwoods Properties, Inc. Q2 2010 Earnings Call Transcript
Such statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Actual results could materially differ from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors, including those identified at the bottom of yesterday's release and those identified in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, and subsequent reports filed with the SEC.
The company assumes no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements that become untrue because of subsequent events. During this call, we will also discuss non-GAAP financial measures, such as FFO and NOI. Definitions of FFO and NOI and an explanation of management's view of the usefulness and risks of FFO and NOI can be found towards the bottom of yesterday's release and are also available on the Investor Relations section of the web at highwoods.com.
I'll now like to turn the call over to Ed Fritsch.
Ed FritschGood afternoon, thank you for joining us today. Before discussing our quarterly results, I'll make a few comments about the economic environment. Given the volume of highly-publicized, conflicting data on the U.S. and global economy, such as recovery versus double debt, it's hard for anyone to know what to expect over the next 6, 12, 18 months. Clearly most indicators suggest that it will take a while for economy to return to sustain growth. Here's what we do know. The important picture is not getting worse, the extent of home foreclosures is more quantifiable, expense inflation is being contained, interest rates are still very low and equity is plentiful. Given the remaining economic, political and regulatory uncertainties, it's hard to say when conditions are going to materially improve, but it appears conditions are not continuing in the trend of being worse today than they were six months ago. Despite this uncertain environment, given our progress to the first half of the year, and our projections for the remainder of the year, we have updated our 2010 FFO guidance. We raised the bottom end by $0.09 to $2.40 and lower the top end by a $0.01to $2.48 per share.
