Josephine County Integrated Fire Plan (JCIFP)
In August 2003, the Josephine County Board of County Commissioners directed the County Departments to work with state and federal agencies, rural fire protection districts and community organizations throughout the County to develop an integrated fire plan. The County initiated this effort to reduce wildfire risk to citizens, the environment, and quality of life within Josephine County. The County contracted with the Program for Watershed and Community Health, an organization affiliated with the University of Oregon's Institute for a Sustainable Environment to facilitate the development of the plan. The Josephine County Integrated Fire Plan (JCIFP) and to help the County be successful in implementing fuels reduction projects, fire prevention was finished and adopted in November, 2004. The plan is updated annually through the completion of the Annual Report.
Since the adoption of the plan, countless numbers of citizens, fire districts, county staff, and agency representatives have worked together to enhance the JCIFP and to help the County be successful in implementing fuels reduction projects, fire prevention education campaigns, and other fire-related programs. The planning approach directly involves the county's rural fire protection districts as a way to reach citizens in the county. The plan assists the county in being more competitive for federal funding programs such as the Healthy Forests Restoration Act, the National Fire Plan and FEMA's Pre-Disaster Mitigation Program.
Community information and education for both Josephine and Jackson County Fire Plans is collected on the Rogue Valley Fire Prevention Cooperative website. This site contains helpful information about community events, fire prevention and local laws regarding fire safety.
The Living With Wildfire homeowner's guide helps citizens understand their wildfire risk. The guide provides information about what it means to live in the forest, as well as tools and information about how to decrease wildfire risk.

Living the dream, I've traveled the major wine regions of the world, met incredibly interesting people, tasted fine wine and food and been paid to do it. The journey has been quite a nice ride. Given the infinite amount of science, history and geography, the subject of wine and food and the influence they have on each is other is quite complicated. Blend in the romance of music, art, and philosophies of the various countries and cultures, and it becomes even more fascinating as well as fulfilling. Virtually incorporating a way of living in harmony with nature if you will. Our purpose is to share these truths and give the knowledge that wine is a food beverage and when consumed in moderation, can elevate one's quality of life. The mysteries all unfold before your eyes and the answer lies in the fruit of the vine. We're all here for a brief interlude, enjoy your time under the sun and live abundantly. Hope to see you soon.

The Teleview Teller Hoff is pulled up to (yes, it is February and that is a convertible) allowed customers to bank with a teller on closed-circuit television. Papers and money were sent back and forth through pneumatic tubes.
When Marina City Bank opened on February 25, 1964, on the main floor of the office building, it had $372,575 in deposits. Within a month, it had $12 million in deposits and was, according to American Banker magazine, one of the 2,800 largest banks in the U.S.

(Left) In a photo that appeared in the Chicago Sun-Times on February 26, 1964, a convertible is pulled up to the Teleview Teller at Marina City Bank. This area was a drive-up lane just off State Street. The east tower parking ramp is partially visible at upper left.
(Middle) By November 28, 2011, this area was no longer accessible to vehicles. One Teleview Teller was approximately where the concrete stairs are at left. Another was just ahead on the left. The upper floor of the building at right was a Chase bank branch from 2006 to 2014 and the southeast corner was an enclosed area for ATMs. The lower portion was a Crunch fitness center from 1999 to 2008.

Where Are They Now: Christian Siriano
By Gregory Miller
What's your catchphrase now?
I don't really have one. I guess whatever I'm saying. There's nothing too specific. 'Having a moment' is still around and it makes a cameo every now and then, as do all the others when I'm in the studio making something.
What was that Craigslist scam thing about? Did you work it out?
We did work it out. It was horrible. So crazy -- someone using my name to attract models. It's hard when you're a public figure in some way, people can definitely take advantage. So yeah, that was bad. But we definitely worked it out. They found the person and everything got taken care of, which is great.
In the November issue of Harper's Bazaar Christina Hendricks says she stands behind the Golden Globes dress that fashion people hated and you designed.
What's so great about Christina is that she is such a chic and sophisticated woman -- just herself. That dress was like 'a moment' dress for her. Christina was still new to the game. It was only like her fifth carpet ever, so it was a big 'wow.' So for me, it was an amazing moment. And I think she looked amazing. She felt amazing. At the end of the day, the most important part is if the client is happy. And obviously she was because I dressed her for the Creative Arts Emmys just a few months ago. That's how you have to take it because fashion is so subjective. There are so many people that will love it and so many people will hate it. That's just how it works. Nobody ever loves everything -- we just don't. In society, we all have snotty opinions.
Speaking about the dress, New York Times fashion critic Cathy Horyn said, 'You don't put a big girl in a big dress. That's rule number one.' Is that fair?
I think that comment was just something that came out of her thinking very quickly and trying to get a comment out very quickly. What's hard for me is that I think full-figured women in dresses that have more of 'a moment' -- that are more sculptural and that have a 'wow' factor -- that's what makes it even more special. Because these women are really dressing themselves. They're not afraid to show off their curves and their bodies. I've obviously dressed Christina and Whoopi Goldberg and Kimberley Locke -- none of them are these tiny, thin women. But I've also dressed the Pussycat Dolls. It's kind of hard to listen to criticism like that because I think she's an average size 10. I don't know if it's good to bash that shape [laughs].
Is criticism harder to hear now or back on the Project Runway stage?
No. Now that it's like a real business, you have to make sure the collections are up to par and it's hard. You put so much work into something and spend so much money and time. I always say now that Project Runway was like a dream. It was such a breeze compared to the real business and reality of it.

I played first season several times. During the first time I mostly support Kenny. I agreed to kill Larry. So he was my friend, kinda. Next time I support him everytime, but refused to kill Larry. And till the end of the game Kenny was ..... asshole, real asshole. He didn't help to cope with zombie, when Lee asked "What the hell?" the answer was "you're not a child, you can do it by yourself!" Everytime he was showing off, did what he wanted, despite what is group's need. And finally when it came to decide who will come with Lee look for Clem he said " I'm try to imagine if I were you what would be your decision? Likely you would not go," WHAT?! This phrase just killed me. So, please, explain to me, why do you love Kenny so much?

Scarlet Couriers
Scarlet, one of the UK's largest independent courier companies has been providing a full service delivery solution to businesses across the Thames Valley for over 20 years. From their control centres in Slough, Bracknell, Reading and Uxbridge they offer their customers rapid response times and dependable service. With many large companies with headquarters in the Thames Valley area and a high demand for quality courier services to meet their requirements, Scarlet are able to list many household names on their client database.
When we first spoke, Scarlet had been undertaking a project to successfully network all four of their offices. As Les Parsons, Commercial Director at Scarlet explains: 'All four of our offices worked as separate entities. We wanted to improve business efficiency and maximise staff utilisation by linking all of our offices with one phone system. Our control office in Slough already had an Avaya system and we looked at connecting our other sites using a hosted solution.'
Scarlet wanted a solution that would not only address their current set-up, but allow for future expansion and additional functionality as the need arose, so they decided to trial a connectivity solution via hosted telephony. However, as the trial rolled out, Scarlet were left disappointed by the results.
According to Les: 'Call quality was poor at times, but even more of a problem to us were the outages that we suffered on a number of occasions which could last for several hours. Although a lot of our business is booked online, phone contact is still business-critical to us. Primarily, people tend to book direct couriers by phone and if customers are unable to get through, they will go elsewhere. Going forward, we simply could not afford the potential threat to this area of our business.'
Cost was also another cause for concern as the hosted system incurred a monthly charge per seat. Although Scarlet were paying reduced trial rates, the system would have been considerably more expensive if they had continued.
One absolute requirement for Scarlet was to retain their existing phone numbers. This would immediately tell customers that they were a local business, with couriers nearby. 'It's important that people have the reassurance of knowing that Scarlet is a local company, and we wanted to keep this apparent through our phone numbers.'
Les discussed the company's full requirements with Total and, following thorough consultation, an alternative solution was presented. Scarlet replaced their existing Avaya system in the Slough office and Total installed a second system into Bracknell, forming two hub sites. Then IP phones were installed in Reading and Uxbridge to create two smaller remote sites.
Les adds: 'Total were very innovative and even went as far as investigating a wireless connectivity solution. It would have been ideal, but unfortunately the topology of one of our sites just made it impossible. Total instead created an IP VPN based on ADSL technology, which works every bit as well.'
Scarlet's previous set-up carried Voice and Data through two separate networks, and originally they were looking at MPLS options. However, the single VPN installed by Total efficiently provides both Data and Voice across all offices, leaving no need to explore further avenues.
'We needed to terminate our hosted trial at a commercially viable point which left Total with a very short time to organise and deliver the chosen solution - but they worked tirelessly to ensure that the system was up and running on schedule. They went the extra mile to prioritise business continuity, and I am happy to say that the service we receive from them is very good.'
In terms of the capital expenditure incurred, the solution offered by Total also worked out to be significantly more cost-effective than previous options. This didn't surprise Les as he explains: 'I knew that this type of solution would be more cost-efficient. All our internal calls and calls across the group network are free, so there are obvious savings right there. And in terms of billing, all sites and services are now converged into one account, making it much easier to manage.'
System reliability was also vital to Scarlet, so to ensure constant business continuity coverage, all calls to one of the hub sites can quickly be diverted to the other if an ISDN fails. Scarlet greatly value Avaya's functionality, having found it reliable and easy to use in the past.
'We wanted to have a system which would grow alongside the company. Avaya systems are relatively future-proof and simple to manage. They are flexible enough for future expansion - if further offices are required, a new system could simply be put into place through upgrade opportunities.' With network and broadband technologies changing at such a fast pace, Scarlet are confident that their solution will develop and improve.
Les reports that Scarlet's primary objective is to be one step ahead of other courier services and provide superior customer service in order to differentiate themselves within the industry. 'We are now evaluating Call Centre software in order to maximise efficiency. With the service structure and support that is offered, Total would be the natural choice as our preferred Telecoms partner.'

NOAA Gets New Voice
Washington, DC - Aug 9, 2001- NOAA Weather Radio, the nation's automated radio weather warning system, will soon have a new voice. The National Weather Service (NWS), an agency of the Commerce Department's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), evaluated five voices and reviewed 19,000 Internet survey comments from the public in the effort to find the new voice.
NOAA has awarded Siemens Information and Communication Network of Boca Raton, FL, a $633,615 contract for the voice improvement. The weather service will begin implementation of the new voice's text-to-speech software program early in 2002, following successful testing and integration within the NOAA Weather Radio system. As part of the contract, Siemens will team with SpeechWorks International of Boston to provide software that combines phonetic sounds with natural language modeling.
The weather service first used a computer synthesized voice technology as part of a console replacement system in 1997. Automating NOAA Weather Radio enabled the weather service to send out multiple independent warnings over multiple transmitters simultaneously, allowing speedier delivery of severe weather warnings and more lead-time for the public. The old voice, name Perfect Paul, was state-of-the-art when first it was placed in service in 1997, but advances in artificial speech technology now make it possible for NOAA to provide a service that is more understandable to the public.
NOAA Weather Radio, sometimes referred to as the voice of the National Weather Service, is a portable device that enables the public to receive continuous weather broadcasts and hazard alerts directly from local weather forecast offices. Transmitting from a network of 583 stations nationwide, the NOAA Weather Radio can be heard by more than 85 percent of the U.S. population.
NOAA's National Weather Service (NWS) is the primary source of weather data, forecasts and warnings for the United States and its territories. NWS operates the most advanced weather and flood warning and forecast system in the world, helping to protect lives and property and enhance the national economy.
The old and new voices can be heard on the NOAA Weather Radio

A Letter Towards The Future
/UPDATE: You can check out my new site, Daf Aleph, here.
Hello everyone,
I've been meaning to write this letter for quite a while now, but it just never quite felt like the right time. Well, I don't think it will ever feel like the "right time", so I'm just going for it now.
As you have no doubt realized by now, I have not been very present online for the last year or so. This is because I have been pursuing religious studies abroad (in Israel, to be exact), and have not had the time, really, to write much on technology. (Although I have, for the most part, kept up with all the news and whatnot, just FYI, I guess.)
But I'll tell you the truth. The real reason I haven't been writing much on technology is because I just don't have that drive to do it anymore. In short, I just don't really care to write about it. In fairness, I've felt a little bit this way for a while now — even back when I was writing weekly. Much of what I did just felt a little forced.
Look, I've had a great run. We've had a great run. BitQuill has been tremendous, and I've loved doing it. But all good things must come to an end. And while I am not going to say that I will never update BitQuill again — I am going to be keeping the website around and maintained — I do not expect to write for BQ with any sort of regularity.
What's going on here? Well, nothing abnormal, I don't think. Passions change. Things you find true meaning in change. I still love technology and, as I mentioned, follow it closely. I'd bet my bottom dollar it will stay a close interest of mine for the rest of my life. But now more as a hobby — not my life itself.
I don't think I've changed, no, but grown. Evolution, not revolution. A shift in my focus. A shift in my life.
I know, I know. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. This is probably coming as somewhat of a shock. It's not a shock to me, because I've been myself for the last year or so and have felt this all coming along. From the outside, it's a little weird. I know. And I'm sorry. But this is the way that it is. And that's that, I suppose.
Onwards, and upwards.
Which is what I want to talk about now.
Fret not. I have not lost my passion for writing. I need to write. If I don't get my thoughts down on paper, in a coherent form for me to read back, I go a bit nuts. I need to organize my thoughts. I'm a big writer. And I plan to write quite a bit, and I plan to publish online.
The truth is, building on what I said above, I've only ever shown a very, very small part of myself online — the part strictly about technology. You'll note I never have gotten involved in really anything personal online at all. It was my website and its other branches all the way, and that was it. Never really any arguments or fights, never anything controversial. Certainly no politics or religion.
My presence online was an expression of my particular interest in technology. Just that little part of me. Not an expression of me, as a whole. And I always felt so restricted. So limited. There were so many things I wanted to talk about that just did not fit into the place on the web that I had carved out for myself.
Well, to heck with all that. That's all going to change now.
Nothing official yet, but I do plan on launching a whole new project online in the next few months. There's still a lot to be done, but we're getting there. Slowly.
But it's a radical departure from this site. It'll be a website devoted to that which is truly near and dear to my heart: the philosophy of Orthodox Judaism. Yeah, out of left field considering many of you probably didn't even know that I was Jewish. But it's not out of left field for me. In fact, it's everything to me.
So what can you expect? Well, Judaism, obviously. But it'll also be about God, philosophy, the modern world, and culture in broader strokes as well. And we'll get pretty intense too. No fluff. I fancy myself pretty well versed and armed with this stuff, and I'm really excited to start writing and talking about it in a public forum. I don't think it's at all what one would expect.
Now is not the time or place for more details on all this stuff. Really, you'll have to wait and see.
And that's just the thing. If this all sounds totally crazy to you right now, that's fine. I totally, totally get that. There is probably close to a 100% chance that this new website will not be something you are even remotely interested in reading. (Although, I do ask that, when it is released, you give it a chance — you might be surprised. I mean heck!, I don't even know how many of you are Jewish/religious!) That's all sort of the point of me writing this whole thing. I know I'll be building and targeting a whole new audience — again, ergo this whole letter. And I'm okay with that.
If you want to come along for the ride, you are more than welcome. Consider this a heartfelt invitation. If not, consider this a heartfelt PSA.
Speaking of, all the details for the upcoming site will be announced on Twitter. I am, as always, @devirkahan. Oh, and speaking of speaking of, I'll no longer be holding back on Twitter either. It's all me now. So that'll be pretty different as well.
I realize this is a big jump. Like, really big. And to some extent, this whole letter was pretty weird, but I just felt the need to write an explanation.
Because, you know, I get a little nuts when I don't organize my thoughts and write things down.
Yours truly, Devir

Rate Dr. Saud A. Sadiq
Dr. Saud A. Sadiq's Ratings
I had my first visit to Dr Sadiq and this Tisch MS center. It is run like a Swiss clock. Everyone is calm, helpful, pleasant without being fake or impatient. You could eat off the floors. The rooms are immaculate, serene. Dr Sadiq is steady and efficient. He takes everything in. He his compassionate and patient. I was sent immediately downstairs to their MRI facility and received the same high quality treatment there. I may not have MS and hope I don't, but if this is the kind of care you can obtain for this disease then it is beyond doubt the very best and you will be well taken care of. I can't say enough good things about my experience. Dr Sadiq seems pretty amazing and I feel fortunate to have met him.

My husband Stephen has primary progressive MS, after being very dissapointed with our 1st Dr we searched for a new Dr. We found Dr Sadiq and we thank god every day. To say he cares about his patients is an understatement. I am constantly astonished how prepared he is for every patient. I would like to think that my husband is one of Dr. Sadiqs favorite patients although I am sure Dr. Sadiq makes all his patients feel that way. His staff is also wonderful and if you are told you will get a call back today that is what you get, there is no games. I wish words can describe the respect I have for Dr. Sadiq and his staff, there is no medical practice run as well. God bless Dr. Sadiq and his staff they are in my prayers every day.

i am so impressed with this practice. i can not imagine any other ms practice being nearly as comprehensive as this one. the staff was great. i felt more like i was in 1st class service on airplane then being at a dr's office. they really leave no stone unturned.

Dr Sadiq and his staff are incredible. They are always available and never rude or impatient. In addition, I must mention that his nutritionist, Dr. Bates is beyond words. She makes every effort to help me each and every time I contact her. I can't possibly express the gratitude I have for everyone here. MS is definitely not an easy thing to deal with, but they make the road much easier to travel.

My daughter has been a patient of Dr. Sadiq's since 7/10. Met with us that 4th of July weekend. Dr. Sadiq is one of the most knowledgeable, compassionate, loving and heart warming physician's (not to mention, thorough) that we have ever met. Time? what's time? He goes by no clock. We sat in his office during a difficult time in our lives with the diagnois of our daughters MS and he understood our feelings and felt the emotions with us. That can only happen when you have a truly caring and loving physician. He explained all about MS to us, his research, development and clinical trials. This man IS on the forefront of MS he is definitley on the cutting edge. If there is any one person that will find a cure, it will be DR.SADIQ we are confident of that. AND, yes, we do have his cell number, as well as his home number. This man lives to find the cure, and he will...soon
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][1542219].votes_count ]]
He is an extraordinary doctor, and an extraordinary human. He listens, makes you feel you are the priority in his work --even as you know that his work, in both research and clinical care (not to mention fundraising and setting the tone of professionalism for the whole office) has him needed in 100 places at once. I feel deeply lucky to be his patient. He thinks creatively, cares deeply, and has the amazing ability to remember specifics that you yourself have forgotten. Extraordinary person.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][1542218].votes_count ]]
There is no one like Dr. Sadiq. I have seen some of the top MS specialists, and there is no doubt that Dr. Sadiq is a special doctor and human being. I trust him with my life. And his staff is incredible. There honestly isn't any other MS doctor who is more compassionate, thorough, kinder, or smarter.

Home Congregations About Us Bookstore Press Room Giving
Page Navigation
Medieval Jewish story, told in John A. Buehrens and Forrest Church, A Chosen Faith (Boston: Beacon Press, 1998).
A rabbi spoke with God about heaven and hell. "I will show you hell," God said, and they went into a room which had a large pot of stew in the middle. The smell was delicious, but around the pot sat people who were famished and desperate. All were holding spoons with very long handles which reached to the pot, but because the handles of the spoons were longer than their arms, it was impossible to get the stew back into their mouths. "Now I will show you heaven," God said, and they went into an identical room. There was a similar pot of stew, and the people had identical spoons, but they were well nourished and happy. "It's simple," God said. "You see, they have learned to feed one another."

Got me this yellow Lantana this year..I have already a pink/yellow and a red/orange that have been coming back year after year even though it's an "ANNUAL"". Wonder if anyone has experience with the Chappell Hill Yellow, just wondering if it is as hardy as my others and can I expect to enjoy it next year???
Thanks in advance for any comments. Dina in upstate SC (Pickens County) |
Follow-Up Postings:
I've had mixed results with Chapel Hill Yellow. There is also a Chapel Hill Gold now. I do not find them as reliable as Miss Huff. I use them as a border in one of my beds and have half of them come back each year. |

Not as reliable as Miss Huff. One came back the following year looking like Miss Huff and not solid yellow. Cameron |
Miss Huff is the only one that has REALLY come back like gangbusters for me. Miss Huff also gets taller and more bushy than many others that tend to just spread out like a ground cover. Here is a link to more info on what has done well in Carolina. |

I have 'Ham and Eggs' and 'Athens Rose' that return. Very late to show any green at the base in early summer. I do not cut back the ugly stems over the winter. I wait for the basal foliage to show up. Shrub-size. |

Imagine you're browsing through the CD store, you see a CD with a pretty fucking cool album cover, you go in for a closer look, the name is HAMMERLORD. This is already looking promising, you flip it over, the back cover is even more amazing than the front cover. You flip it back over and a sticker reads "THE NEW LOARDS OF THRASH METAL!!" What do you do? If it's $9 I think you have to buy it. Granted I normally don't let stupid stickers reel me in like that but you've got to take a chance sometime, and recently my chances have payed off. Only difference is they're normally at my local record store where the guy running it has good taste, and this was Record and Tape Traders. So did you get burned if you bought this CD? Let me just start out here by saying I think the sticker was marked wrong. It shouldn't have read "THE NEW LORDS OF THRASH METAL!!" it should been something more along the lines of "THE NEW LORDS OF SHIT METAL!!" This CD is like having diarrhea shoveled into your ear. Half of these songs sound the same, the other half are worse. The vocals sound like Comeback Kid (granted they're not bad, but they're not thrash), the music is somewhere mixed up in nu metal, thrash and hardcore, what I like to call a cocktail of shittyness. This has nine tracks on it, luckily we didn't get into the double digits because not one of them is worth listening to. In fact I'll admit I haven't even gotten all the way through more than two songs, I've tried, goddamnit how I've tried, but it's just that bad. Take my advice here, it may have a sweet ass cover but save your money for something more enjoyable, like a trip to the dentist.

Umphrey's McGee – June 8th – Chautauqua Auditorium
Posted on June 12, 2013 | No CommentsBefore Saturday's Umphrey's McGee show at the Chautauqua Auditorium many people picnicked and played Frisbee in Chautauqua park which created a party like atmosphere even hours before the show. The energy built all day as more and more fans came strolling into the park to have a good time, and wait patiently to see the band they love. Their patience paid off as the band delivered a smoking show full of fan favorites and a few choice covers. -
The Greyboy Allstars – April 12th & 13th – Cervantes' Ballroom
Posted on April 18, 2013 | No CommentsLast weekend The Greyboy Allstars came straight out of the 70's on a groove of Funk, Soul, and Jazz. The band was in town supporting their new album, 'Inland Emperor,' which dropped this week, and the crowd filled in fast and early at Cervantes' Masterpiece Ballroom on both Friday and Saturday nights. Supported by Dumpstaphunk on Friday night and Denver's own The Congress on Saturday, it was a weekend of unforgettable music, and luckily all three bands have new albums out to keep the party going. -
Zen Mustache – December 1st – Jamestown Mercantile
Posted on December 7, 2012 | No CommentsThe mention of a "cover band" often conjures up images of old dudes with long hair, bandannas and black leather vests unsuccessfully attempting to bring back the 80s. That said, one night of solid tunes at the strangely beautiful and exceptionally unique venue known as the Jamestown Mercantile by Boulder-based band Zen Mustache, and our views on cover bands were changed forever. This show was a lampshade-shaking good time. -
The Dukes of September – July 10th – The Paramount Theatre
Posted on July 17, 2012 | 2 CommentsThe Dukes of September are a super-group that features Donald Fagen, Michael McDonald, and Boz Scaggs. This is a band, not just a trio of stars and back line support, and that cohesiveness was evident in their performance last week. As they played everyone present realized how lucky they were to be in the beautiful confines of the Paramount. Though the show flirted with nostalgia, The Dukes of September delivered entertainment in its purest form. -

Stanley Peter Prosen, age 89, of Winona, Minnesota, died Tuesday, January 15, 2013, at Saint Anne Extended Healthcare, Winona, Minn.
Stanley was born April 15, 1923, in Gilbert, Minn., to Louis and Teresa (Babich) Prosen. He was very proud of his Slovenian heritage and that he was born and raised on the Iron Range in northern Minnesota. Stanley graduated from Gilbert High School, and then went on to graduate from the University of Maryland with a degree in engineering. He married Wilma George Diffie, and she preceded him in death July, 1975. On December 16, 1977, he married Arlene Mae (Eklund) Garry and she preceded him in death January 26, 2012.
Stanley served his country in the U.S. Army during World War II. Following honorary discharge, he was employed at the Naval Ordinance Laboratory in Silver Springs, MD. His next venture was making Winona, Minn., his home, working for Fiberite Inc. He then became a partner and co-founder of Aligned Fiber Composites, Chatfield, Minn. As an innovative entrepreneur, he co-founded Diversified Fabricators, Inc. and Coda Composites Company; both in Winona, Minn. Stanleys career achievements include several patents and ASTM standards in engineering. His legacy lives on in the Composite Engineering degree program currently offered at Winona State University; a program that he was instrumental in the establishment and design of.
He was a member of Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, Winona, Minn., and the Knights of Columbus, serving in the past as a Grand Knight. Stanley attained the prestigious rank of Fellow in the international SAMPE organization.
Whenever Stanley had free time, he was with friends and family: fishing, golfing, bowling, traveling, gardening, tinkering around the house, or just being with those he loved. Later in life, he enjoyed watching sports on TV and delighted in the many varieties of birds that came to eat at the backyard feeders.
Those left to cherish his memory are his children; Anne (Keith) Krage of Winona, Minn., Bruce Prosen of Winona, Minn.; William Garry of Weaver, Minn., Sandra (Garry) Beck of Hortonville, Wis., Sharon Prosen of Winona, Minn., Timothy (Pat) Prosen of Shell Knob, Mo., and Lisa (Patrick) Erdenberger of Prairie du Chien, Wis., his eleven grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren; his sister, Bernice Bailey, Baytown, Tex., and brother-in-law, Dan Eklund of Tucson, Ariz.,and other extended family and friends who will miss him dearly.

BE HD Radio Transmitters Reach New Benchmarks
Quincy, IL - Apr 10, 2007 - Broadcast Electronics (BE) reports that its line of solid-state FM HD Radio transmitters now exceed the previous benchmarks for output power and spectral performance. The RF equipment manufacturer reports an average 10 percent increase in output power for low-level combined applications and 25 percent increase in output power for HD Radio-only applications. This power increase applies to all of its HD Radio solid-state transmitter product, and BE states that the results are due in part to the company's ESP technology.
The BE ESP technology corrects for nonlinearities in the transmission chain, which results in improved efficiency and spectral performance, according to Ted Lantz, BE HD Radio product manager. The findings are based on field and factory measurements comparing transmitter overall operating performance.

Lexham English Bible (LEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 I wish that you would put up with me {in something a little foolish}--but indeed you are putting up with me. | 1 I hope you will put up with a little of my foolishness; but you are already doing that. |
2 For I am jealous [for] you with a godly jealousy, because I promised you [in marriage] to one husband, to present [you] [as] a pure virgin to Christ. | 2 I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him. |
3 But I am afraid lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds may be led astray from the sincerity and the purity of [devotion] to Christ. | 3 But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. |
4 For if the one who comes proclaims another Jesus whom we have not proclaimed, or you receive a different spirit which you did not receive, or a different gospel which you did not accept, you put up with [it] well [enough]! | 4 For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough. |
5 For I consider myself in no way to be inferior to the preeminent apostles. | 5 But I do not think I am in the least inferior to those "super-apostles." |
6 But even if [I am] unskilled in speech, yet [I am] not in knowledge; certainly in everything [we] have made this clear to you in every [way]. | 6 I may not be a trained speaker, but I do have knowledge. We have made this perfectly clear to you in every way. |
7 Or did I commit a sin [by] humbling myself in order that you may be exalted, because I proclaimed the gospel of God to you without payment? | 7 Was it a sin for me to lower myself in order to elevate you by preaching the gospel of God to you free of charge? |
8 I robbed other churches [by] accepting support [from them] for the ministry to you. | 8 I robbed other churches by receiving support from them so as to serve you. |
9 And [when I] was present with you and was in need, I did not burden anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied my need, and in everything I kept myself from being a burden to you, and will keep [myself from being a burden]. | 9 And when I was with you and needed something, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied what I needed. I have kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so. |
10 [As the] truth of Christ is in me, this boasting {of mine} will not be stopped in the regions of Achaia. | 10 As surely as the truth of Christ is in me, nobody in the regions of Achaia will stop this boasting of mine. |
11 {Why}? Because I do not love you? God knows [I do]! | 11 Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do! |
12 But what I am doing, I will also do, in order that I may remove the opportunity of those who want an opportunity, that they may be found just as also we [are] in what they are boasting about. | 12 And I will keep on doing what I am doing in order to cut the ground from under those who want an opportunity to be considered equal with us in the things they boast about. |
13 For such people [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. | 13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ. |
14 And no wonder, for Satan himself disguises himself as an angel of light. | 14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. |
15 Therefore [it is] not a great thing if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds. | 15 It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve. |
16 Again I say, do not let anyone think I am foolish. But indeed, if [you do], accept me even as foolish, in order that I also may boast a little. | 16 I repeat: Let no one take me for a fool. But if you do, then receive me just as you would a fool, so that I may do a little boasting. |
17 What I am saying in this project of boasting, I am not saying as the Lord [would say], but as in foolishness. | 17 In this self-confident boasting I am not talking as the Lord would, but as a fool. |
18 Since many are boasting according to human standards, I also will boast. | 18 Since many are boasting in the way the world does, I too will boast. |
19 For [because you] are wise, you put up with foolish people gladly! | 19 You gladly put up with fools since you are so wise! |
20 For you put up with [it] if someone enslaves you, if someone devours [you], if someone takes advantage of [you], if someone is presumptious [toward you], if someone strikes you in the face. | 20 In fact, you even put up with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you or takes advantage of you or pushes himself forward or slaps you in the face. |
21 I say [this] to [my] shame, namely, that we have been weak. But in whatever anyone dares to [boast]--I am speaking in foolishness--I also dare to [boast]. | 21 To my shame I admit that we were too weak for that! What anyone else dares to boast about--I am speaking as a fool--I also dare to boast about. |
22 Are they Hebrews? I [am] also! Are they Israelites? I [am] also! Are they descendants of Abraham? I [am] also! | 22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they Abraham's descendants? So am I. |
23 Are they servants of Christ?--I am speaking as though I were beside myself--I [am] more so, with far greater labors, with far more imprisonments, with beatings to a much greater degree, in [danger of] death many times. | 23 Are they servants of Christ? (I am out of my mind to talk like this.) I am more. I have worked much harder, been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again. |
24 Five times I received at the hands of the Jews forty [lashes] less one. | 24 Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. |
25 Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I received a stoning. Three times I was shipwrecked. A day and a night I have spent in the deep water. | 25 Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea, |
26 [I have been] on journeys many times, in dangers from rivers, in dangers from robbers, in dangers from [my own] people, in dangers from the Gentiles, in dangers in the city, in dangers in the wilderness, in dangers at sea, in dangers because of false brothers, | 26 I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my own countrymen, in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false brothers. |
27 with toil and hardship, often in sleepless nights, with hunger and thirst, often going hungry, in cold and poorly clothed. | 27 I have labored and toiled and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked. |
28 Apart from these external things, [there is] the pressure on me every day of the anxiety about all the churches. | 28 Besides everything else, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches. |
29 Who is weak, and [I am] not weak? Who is caused to sin, and I do not burn [with indignation]? | 29 Who is weak, and I do not feel weak? Who is led into sin, and I do not inwardly burn? |
30 If it is necessary to boast, I will boast [about] {the things related to my weakness}. | 30 If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness. |
31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is blessed {forever}, knows that I am not lying. | 31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is to be praised forever, knows that I am not lying. |
32 In Damascus, the governor under King Aretas was guarding the city of the Damascenes in order to take me into custody, | 32 In Damascus the governor under King Aretas had the city of the Damascenes guarded in order to arrest me. |
33 and I was lowered through a window through the wall in a rope-basket, and I escaped his hands. | 33 But I was lowered in a basket from a window in the wall and slipped through his hands. |

News release from St. Thomas University:
St. Thomas University School of Science, Technology and Engineering Management Receives $450,000 Grant for New Lecture Hall
August 6, 2007 – In a private ceremony held Thursday, August 2, representatives from the North Dade Medical Foundation presented St. Thomas University with a donation of $450,000 to name a lecture hall in the University's new Carnival Cruise Lines Science and Technology Building, currently under construction.
The grant was proposed by North Dade Medical Foundation board member Cesar J. Sastre, M.D., as a way for the Foundation to further its goal of improving the lives of North Dade residents.
"I have held St. Thomas University in very high regard since I first came to the campus in 1985 to enroll my son as an undergraduate student," said Dr. Sastre. "Since that time, I have been impressed by the University's continual improvements and steady growth. This gift will not only help the students but will be a reflection of the North Dade Medical Foundation and a constant reminder that there is a group of physicians who care for this community's education."
The hall, which will be known as the North Dade Medical Foundation Lecture Hall, will provide students and state of the art facility and ensure that the Foundation's name will live on in perpetuity.
Presented by members of North Dade Medical Foundation board including, Dr. George Daviglus, Dr. Sastre, Dr. John Kathe, Prospero Herrera, Dr. Chester Morris, Dr. Ira Jacobson and Foundation Chief Executive Officer Sandra Giblin., the grant is a continuation of the Foundation's support for St. Thomas University and the new School of Science, Technology and Engineering Management. Previous donations include a $1.5 million grant for nursing scholarships.

I am currently attending the 2010 Scientific Meeting of the European Society of Cardiology, here in Stockholm.
In a session on diabetes and heart disease, Mamas Mamas from the University of Manchester, UK, reported that abnormal glucose tolerance (pre-diabetes or diabetes) is found in about 50% of unselected heart failure patients.
Importantly, only a small fraction of patients will have abnormal fastng glucose, suggesting that glucose tolerance tests are essential to determine abnormal glucose disposition in patients with heart disease.
Insulin resistance, in part due to decreased exercise capacity, may also be exacerbated in heart failure patients.
Longitudinal studies confirm the negative prognostic relevance of abnormal glucose tolerance in with a 35% increased risk in cardiovascular death with each 1% increase in HbA1c levels.
However, Mamas also noted that while the Diabetes Prevention Program, showed a marked reduction in the progression to diabetes with lifesyle intervention in individuals with pre-diabetes, the findings from this study did not suggest any reduction in heart failure or cardiovascular deaths.
Indeed, despite the wide recognition that diabetes is an important risk factor for heart disease, data on the prevention or improvement in cardiac function with diabetes treatment remains rather disappointing.
On a similar note, Clyde Yancy, Baylor University Medical Center, Dallas, TX, spoke on the issue of diabetic cardiomyopathy.
As Yancy pointed out, diabetic cardiomyopathy defined as significantly impaired cardiac function in diabetic patients in the absence of epicardial vascular disease, left-ventricular hypertrophy, valvular disease, or other causes of cardiomyopathy, makes it largely a diagnosis of exclusion.
The association between diabetic cardiomyopathy and diabetic retinopathy suggests that microvascular abnormalities may play a role.
However, there may also be direct metabolic effects of dysglycemia and hyperinsulinemia, resulting in lipotoxicity and generation of oxidative stress leading to apoptosis and fibrosis. This may well explain the findings of left-ventricular remodeling, myocardial fibrosis, collagen and lipid deposition with altered compliance and diastolic dysfunction, seen in patients with diabetic cardiomyopathy.
Animal studies show that increased glucose levels can increase expression of box-1 protein, involved in pro-inflammatory defense mechanisms. Blocking this response may, thus, prove a novel approach to preventing and treating cardiomyopathy.
This is important because, as noted previously by Mamas (and other speakers in this session), current anti-diabetic treatments do not appear to have the expected beneficial effects on heart function or macrovascular disease in patients with diabetes.
In the context of obesity management it is therefore perhaps important to recall the fact that one of the most impressive findings from bariatric surgery studies, is the remarkable reduction (upto 80%) of diabetes related mortality – something conventional diabetes treatments have yet to demonstrate.
Whether similar benefits can be seen with more moderate weight loss of course remains to be seen, nevertheless, it is certainly increasingly apparent that simply controlling blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes may not be the answer.

August 30th, 2010 at 8:12 amThank you Dr Sharma, for this article; I have always found Diabetes very intriguing, all my family from both side have diabetes the only one who doesn't have yet it's me. The only thing I have done different is that I'm a runner; I hope it has helped. Thanks again for taking the time to share all your articles, I find them very educational. All the best!

August 30th, 2010 at 10:45 amI have just read the book "thinking in circles about obesity" by Tarek Hamid and would highly recommend it, especially to any health professionals. I am not suprised by what you report today, Dr. Sharma. High blood sugar levels are a sign that there is something wrong in the system – in this case – the system is one of energy balance and metabolism. Diabetes, or prediabetes are biological markers that energy metabolism has gone amuk. It makes sense therefore, that addressing only one of the observable signs that something is wrong in the system – such as bringing down blood sugar, would not necessarily impact one of the consequences of a system defect, such as early mortality or heart disease. I think it is important to distinguish the differences between markers of something being wrong and the consequences of something being wrong. While as medical folks we tend to believe that diabetes is a disease, understanding things from a systems perspective, reveals that high blood sugar is just feedback from a broken system and overhaul of the system is required, not just attention to the feedback signs.
