Apple has appealed its case for a preliminary injunction against four Samsung Galaxy devices to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in the U.S., with one legal expert claiming Apple stands a "pretty good chance" of convincing the court to overturn at least some parts of the original ruling.
The Cupertino, Calif., company submitted its appeal earlier this week, as discovered by FOSS Patents blogger Florian Mueller.
The filing takes issue with District Judge Lucy Koh's Dec. 2 ruling that denied Apple's request for a preliminary injunction of Samsung's Droid Charge, Galaxy S 4G, Infuse 4G and Galaxy Tab 10.1 devices.
Mueller asserted the opinion that Apple is "doing the absolutely right thing" with the appeal and went on to note that Koh's analysis of the situation appears "fundamentally flawed" to him. Though he did say that Koh's finding that Apple didn't show an entitlement to injunctive relief was "somewhat conclusory," he disagreed with her assessment and definition of the "relevant market and competitive dynamics."
"Apple has a pretty good chance here that the Federal Circuit will find some serious flaws in Judge Koh's reasoning on the equitable factors. A critical reader of her ruling can't help but conclude that her denial of injunctive relief is not well-reasoned to say the least," he wrote.
Additionally, Mueller suggested that the Court of Appeals would be concerned with the "incredibly high bar" that Koh set for injunctions, both preliminary and permanent. Though an overturning of an injunction denial is not a common occurrence, he did say that it's "very likely" that at least some of the judge's arguments would be reversed. The appeals court could, for example, correct any flaws in the ruling and remand it to Koh for reconsideration, the report noted.
Any improvements to Apple's situation would have a bearing not just on the preliminary injunction segment of the case, but also the main proceeding to discuss a permanent injunction scheduled for a trial next summer.
Assuming that the Court of Appeals decides to hear Apple's appeal, the process would take "a number of months," Muller said, adding that a decision should arrive before Koh rules on a permanent injunction.
Mueller even speculated that Apple could get support during the appeal in the form of curiae briefs from other patent holders due to concerns that Koh's ruling could give infringers a "license of right" or "compulsory license."
Apple has already won a permanent ban on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet in Germany, where, according to Mueller, injunctions are automatically triggered upon infringement of valid patents. Samsung has responded by making slight modifications to the device's design and re-releasing it in the country as the Galaxy Tab 10.1N.
In fact, Apple has even offered possible alternative designs to Samsung that would help it avoid violating its patents. The iPad maker provided suggestions such as using a non-black front surface, varying the bezel size, or introducing a "cluttered appearance."

However, Apple was unsatisfied with the changes Samsung made for the Galaxy Tab 10.1N and has since asked the German court to also block sales of that device. The new 10.1N features a metal frame that wraps around its edges.

Apple and Samsung are locked in a tense legal dispute that began back in April. The disagreement has since spread to over 20 complaints spanning 10 countries.
Samsung recently won a reprieve from an Apple victory that had caused a two-month ban on sales of its Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia. The device has been approved for sale in the country and is expected to hit the market next Monday, though Apple has appealed the reversal.

In "Heeding the Call," a Tapestry of Faith program
Gather youth in a circle. Welcome first-time participants. If there are new people present, invite everyone to say their name. Ask if anyone would like to share anything noted in their Justicemakers Guide since the last meeting. Light the chalice, or invite a participant to do so, and recruit a volunteer to read the chalice lighting words:
Lighting this small flame is an act of hope, an act connected to thousands of other small flames burning in many times and places. Lighting this chalice connects us, past and present, here and there. As we feel the glow within us, we recognize the glowing life spirit in others.
Tell the group that today's theme is empathy. Acknowledge that the words "empathy," "sympathy," and "compassion" are similar. Ask how they are different. (Dictionary.com defines empathy as "the intellectual identification with or vicarious experiencing of the feelings, thoughts, or attitudes of another." Sympathy is defined as "a general kinship with another's feelings." "Compassion is defined as "a deep sympathy with the feelings of another coupled with a powerful urge to alleviate the cause of suffering.")
Ask for volunteers to share what they think empathy has to do with justice.

We are looking to renovate our basement to add space to our family room. When I say basement, this is the lower level of a split foyer. I've attached a very rough layout of our basement and wanted to get some ideas from people. We plan on removing the existing fireplace/wood stove - it's not masonry. We initially thought about making an L shaped family room by going in to the unfinished space but I just don't know whether that will give us what we really. So, throw out your best ideas! And thanks! |

Here are a few thoughts, some may not be possible or practical however. Do your windows qualify as egress? Necessary for a bedroom. Make part of the closet located at stair base as one for the playroom. Will qualify that space as a bedroom too. Move the oil tank outdoors then, place your laundry in that space. Have the bathroom at the base of the stairs. Out of the Family Room and closer to the bedroom(s). Enlarge it if possible - 4 x 5 will be really tight. Then access the Furnace/Laundry/Storage approximately where the bathroom shows now. Double-wall the furnace to control noise in the Family Room. You may need a louvered door for combustion air. Entertainment area? Room for a bar. Good luck, looks like a nice layout with generous space. |

I agree w everything fnmroberts said... I love planning spaces -- tho It's hard to answer this in too much more w/o knowing more of the constraints. Are you going to be tearing out walls? Where are the primary ducts to/from the furnace? Do you want to move ducts? Do you want to move gas lines? Do you want to move bathroom plumbing? This all severly impacts what you can do. If yes you want to move any/everything, then I'd do like fnm said and move the bathroom over by the bedrooms, while making the family room wider. You probly have a beam going across somewhere in there too tho which might impact what you can do. Move the bathroom over to next to the bedroom. i.e. between the fam and the bdrm, it'd be the door you see right in front of you when you walk down. Then make the Fam rm take up most of the right half, taking up about to the depth of the current bathroom of the unfinished space. Then you dont have to move your washer, dryer, and w/h hookups. Altho you would have to move your furnace (a huge deal). If moving the furnace is not in the cards, then you are stuck w the L-shape concept that you don't like, and I agree, it's not at all ideal. Altho you can break it up into a TV / Couch wing and a Bar / Game wing... That's not really making the fam rm bigger (your original goal) you're just adding a bar nook. Something like this. Alternatively if you dont like moving the bathroom you can leave it where it was, just making the new bathroom space in the pic part of the fam rm. It all comes down to if you can move the furnace you have more options, but if not then you have to start w that corner walled off. You have a ton of space tho, wish I had that much room. -mike |

The liquid can be fruit juice or milk or even yogurt.

Here is another cool Twitter client for you guys to try out. Twalala is a service that lets you control what you see and what you don't see on twitter. One of the things that I have been really enjoying about these twitter clients and services are the fact that they are so simple and minimal, just like Twitter itself. There are no bells and whistles and these clients do exactly what they are supposed to do, no fancy stuff.
Anyway twalala is a pretty cool service that lets you filter texts or hashtags that you don't want to see. There are times when one of the users you are following might be talking about politics, and you might be someone who just doesn't care to see anything related to politics, at least on twitter. This is when this service comes in handy. You can add these text on twalala and any text containing the word "politics" will be invisible to you. Pretty neat! You can also mute users if you decide not to read their rants every once in a while. This is useful for those times when you want to keep following someone without having to read their views on a particular matter. Simply mute them and their tweets will be invisible and when you are ready to connect and read their tweets again, just "unmute" them.
Login as usual is through your twitter account. I am sure a lot of you will find this service pretty useful. Let us know what you think of it.

Bad news Ex.
Petra and Adam are still very much together.
I just happened to see them in the old historic part of Prague today (Nov.6) at around 11am walking hand in hand together near Malostranske Namesti (Lesser Town Square) heading up the hill toward Strahov Monastery like a pair of tourists.
The must be REALLY in love. They were wearing matching black puffy parka like jackets with slobby grey sweatpants and Nike Zoom tennis shoes.
Petra was calmly admiring the impressive old buildings they were walking by. Adam, I suspect, was thinking about lunch and seemed quite focused on finding it. It seemed he was leading her more than the other way around.
Petra was not smiling or laughing. My initial impression was that she looked slightly tired and maybe sad, but I could be wrong about the sad part. Maybe it was just a calm moment, but she definitely looks pooped out from her long, frustrating year.
Because of her demeanor, I quickly decided not to bother them. In some of the more recent photos she really looks sick of the being in the public eye and all that goes with it. More than anything I just felt like wishing her a nice holiday and a great 2013 but I just didn't have the heart to 'cuz she looked so bummed/burned out. I didn't even bother to take a picture. She looked so different from the girl I met after Wimbledon 2011. Sorry to file such a sad report on our Petra.

When we conduct heat to air or water, it is called convection. This is how we heat our homes. Our heat sources (boiler, furnace, etc.) conduct heat into the air, which then moves away from the heat source towards cooler areas in the room. This phenomenon is called a convection current. If your room is sealed properly, the convection current will work in your favor to heat up your room quickly and cozily. If you have air leakage to the outside, convective heat loss will occur as your warm air seeks to flow out towards the cold air. This may occur through air leaks around windows, doors, floors, ceilings, and walls.

And the Wrights' Grandkids Love Their New Air Conditioner!
Thanks again to the good folks at Gridiron Greats for providing a new air conditioning system for Glendora and Gordon Wright who were facing another incredibly hot Summer and Fall in Orlando Florida!
Left to Right: Danny, Kaleel, Darryl, Kaleb, Grandpa,Deleon, Kareem, Amaya, Luis & Khari!
We are also in the process of taking all the donations that have come in to our nonprofit, Independent Football Veterans, on behalf of the Wrights and expect to pass along your generosity to the Wrights later this week! But this is just one more reminder of why retired football players need to stick together and fight for a voice to gain control and access to your earned disability and pension benefits. As a pre-'93 player, Gordon doesn't qualify for any disability or pension benefits since he didn't play for four seasons. With early onset dementia, Gordon also doesn't qualify for the NFL's 88 Plan either.
If you haven't already added your name to the growing list of teammates who are demanding a voice of your own, please do it now! And be sure to remind every retired player you know. Thanks!

The 21st annual Hudson Valley Garlic Festival will be held in Saugerties, NY on September 26th and 27th.
http://hvgf.org This is a huge festival, largest in the East, with live music, food stands (garlic ice cream anyone?), educational lectures & demonstrations, garlic related arts & crafts, and lots of seed garlic for sale from local farmers. It gets crowded - 25,000 people per day last year - but is really fun. TomNJ |
Follow-Up Postings:
We go every year. Trying the garlic ice cream is obligatory ONCE. Decide for yourself if you like it enough to repeat the experience. The festival is my favorite source of different varieties of garlic for my garden and local honey. This year we're taking the grandchildren. I'm sure we'll be visiting different booths than in the past--like the one with face painting and balloon animals. Even though it does attract so many visitors, I've never felt crowded as it's spread out on so much land. I heartily recommend the festival as a fun day, usually on a beautiful fall afternoon. |
did anyone go? reports? tom |
Yes I was there on Saturday. It was it's usual festive affair with hundreds of booths selling handicrafts, specialty foods, live music, and of course garlic. Bought my annual garlic tee shirt for working in my garden, and a supply of nice large German White, German Red, and Spanish Roja. Brought along some visiting relative from Ireland and we all had a great time. Reports from the local farmers is that crop yields were smaller this year with losses during curing, so many are nearly sold out. TomNJ |

I've never seen the do's and dont's of casual sex boiled down as succinctly as they are in this funny video from Current. Suggesting you to think of a friends-with-benefits relationship much the same way you would a temp job, the clip advises you to "make sure the person hiring you, knows they're hiring you to be a temp," "don't assume you'll go perm," "always look for a better gig," and "don't take a temp job at place you used to work full-time less than three months ago."

[1681] Suppression of Pancreatic Cancer Progression by Sulfated Non-Anticoagulant Heparin.
Tipu Nazeer, Thangirala Sudha, Thiruvengadam Aurumugam, Murat Yalcin, Hassan Murtaza, Shaker A Mousa. Albany Medical College, NY; Albany College of Pharmacy, Rensselaer, NY; MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX
Background: Pancreatic cancer is the fourth most common cause of death from cancer in the United States, and its incidence is increasing. Curative treatment is still primarily surgical and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Recent evidences suggest that low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs) exert potent antitumor effects. The utility of heparin and LWMH as anticancer agent is limited due to effect on hemostasis. In contrast, sulfated non-anticoagulant heparins (s-NACHs) are preferable for potential clinical use because they could be administered at high dose with minimal to no effect on hemostasis. We systematically investigated the anti-tumor and anti-metastatic effect of sulfated NACH using bioluminescence imaging and histopathological studies in spontaneous metastatic mouse model of pancreatic cancer.
Design: We used luciferase-expressing MPanc96-luc to develop orthotropic pancreatic tumor mouse model. Treatment was initiated after the detection of tumor by IVIS imaging and continued for 4 weeks. s-NACH or LMWH formulation (Trinzaparin) was administered at 20 and 5 mg/kg respectively with or without Gemcitabine(GMC). Bioluminescent image guided evaluation of tumor growth and metastasis were monitored. Tumor luminescent signal intensity, tumor weight and histopahtology were assessed at the termination of the study to evaluate pancreatic cancer progression.
Results: s-NACH and LMWH efficiently inhibited tumor growth and metastasis. However, s-NACH was very effective in inducing tumor necrosis and had clear advantage over LMWH in term of bleeding side effects. GMC though reduced metastasis showed high luminescent intensity in the tumor, indicative of live tumor cells. Histological studies clearly demonstrated fewer necrotic areas in GMC treated tumors in contrast to s-NACH, which enhanced anti-tumor and anti-metastatic activities by decreasing viable cancer cells within tumor.
Control | GMC | LMWH | NACH | |
Tumor wt (g) | 0.71+/- 0.39 | 0.30+/-0.14 | 0.50+/-0.33 | 0.51+/-0.17 |
Luciferin signal | 4.20 | 1.96 | 1.69 | 1.14 |

Get a clue: TV's coolest kids' show stars a Homicide maniac and a dog named Blue
For all the hype about Teletubbies, the hottest kids' show on TV right now is actually Blue's Clues (Nickelodeon, weekdays, 9:30-10 a.m.), which recently surpassed both Sesame Street and Barney & Friends as the top-rated program among children ages 2 to 5. The reason for Clues' success is simple: It's one of the most engaging and imaginative series for any age group. Much of the credit belongs to star/creative consultant Steve Burns. Along with his animated pet dog, Blue, Burns helps young viewers solve puzzles based on hints he finds around his Pee-wee-esque playhouse. (Sample brainteaser: What is Tickety-Tock the Alarm Clock's favorite nursery rhyme? The clues: the number 1, a grandfather clock, and a mouse. That's right, kids -- it's ''Hickory Dickory Dock''!)
Burns brings an infectious energy to the two-year-old program without creeping over into cutesiness. What's the secret to his perkiness? ''I've developed an entire acting technique based on seven cups of coffee,'' he quips. ''It's tough to be that ridiculously happy at 8 o'clock in the morning.''
A voice-over artist who's done spots for the McDonald's Arch Deluxe and MCI's 1-800-COLLECT, the 24-year-old actor landed the Clues gig after a 1995 audition. The show's immediate success took him by surprise. ''[I thought] 'Am I really the host of a children's TV show?''' he says. ''Now I think it's great. It's a privilege to be loved by so many cool little kids. Sometimes I feel like Grover.''
In fact, Burns says he identified with that Muppet growing up in Boyertown, Pa. ''Grover was my childhood hero -- he was a nerd,'' he explains, adding joshingly, ''I often think, 'What would Grover do?''' He also gives props to yet another kids-show predecessor: ''Mister Rogers is the guru of all time. I'm like the young, hyper version of him.''
Still, Burns doesn't want to get pigeonholed as a children's-TV star. He recently turned in a powerful guest performance on NBC's Homicide: Life on the Street as a high school geek who murders a bullying basketballer. ''No one on the show knew [who I was] -- it wasn't, 'Let's hire the guy from Blue's Clues to kill this guy,''' he recalls. ''But as soon as one person figured it out, it was crazy. I had to sign a lot of pictures.'' But Burns says he wasn't concerned about frightening his young fans: ''I figured there weren't too many 4-year-olds up at 10 o'clock on Friday.''
Besides, he says, kids don't recognize him without his trademark green rugby shirt (specially designed not to interfere with the show's blue- screen technology) and blue cartoon dog. In one example of how the show seeks to subvert stereotypes, Blue is a girl, despite her traditionally male color. And, Burns jokes, she can be a real...B-I-T-C-H: ''She gets mad because I do all the interviews, but she did get credit in the title.''
Burns will keep working with Blue for at least one more year. A Blue's Birthday prime-time special (with guests Rosie O'Donnell and Gloria Estefan) will air on Nickelodeon June 14 at 8 p.m., a Blue's Clues CD-ROM will be in stores this fall, and there's talk of a Clues movie. And even if Burns should leave, the show could go on without him: ''I'm actually Blue's sidekick,'' he says. ''She's way smarter than me.''

DICKINSON, ND, Jul 10, 2012 -- GLS Properties, LLC will showcase the new Prairie Hills Townhomes, affordable housing built to replace apartments lost in a 2009 tornado, and recognize the work of its development partners at a Grand Opening celebration on Wednesday, July 11. The event will take place at 10:30 a.m. MDT in the development's community room, 2309 4th Ave West, Dickinson.
"Little more than three years ago, a tornado swept through south Dickinson and destroyed Section 8 apartments overseen by MetroPlains Management," said Gary Stenson, MetroPlains Management principal. "Today, we gather to celebrate the cooperative effort that replaced those rental units."
To fund the 36-unit townhome project, GLS Properties, LLC utilized multiple affordable housing development resources including Low Income Housing Tax Credits and a Section 538 Rural Rental Housing Guaranteed Loan.
"The rapid pace of North Dakota's economy today requires an enhanced commitment to public-private partnership," said Mike Anderson, North Dakota Housing Finance Agency (NDHFA) executive director. "We are pleased to work with an outstanding developer like GLS Properties who recognized a challenge and took on the task of replacing the units that were lost."
NDHFA allocated $598,468 in tax credits which brought nearly $4.3 million in equity to the project. The agency also facilitated the preservation of a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Section 8 subsidy. The assistance provided by NDHFA allows for 12 of the units to rent to income-qualified households for $517-$679 a month. The remaining 24 townhomes rent for 30 percent of the tenant's adjusted gross income as was the case for the units lost in the disaster.
"This project is a good example of a private-public partnership to address the critical housing need in Dickinson," said Jasper Schneider, USDA Rural Development state director. "The new development will provide individuals and families with more affordable and quality housing options."
Through the Section 538 program, USDA Rural Development guaranteed a $1,369,300 loan through Lancaster-Pollard Mortgage Company. The rental housing program is designed to increase the supply of affordable housing to low- or moderate income tenants. Prairie Hills Townhomes will be available to individuals and families whose incomes do not exceed 115 percent of the area median income adjusted for family size.
Other development partners include Affordable Housing Developers, Inc. and the North Dakota Department of Commerce; the City of Dickinson; Dacotah Bank; Tooz Construction; and US Bank.
Located at 15th Street West and 4th Avenue West in Dickinson, Prairie Hills Townhomes consists of two-and three-bedroom units all with attached garages. Four of the townhomes are handicapped accessible. The total cost of construction was $5.8 million.
Riverview Garden Apartments, a 30-unit, income-based property located in south Dickinson, was destroyed by an EF3 tornado on July 8, 2009. The replacement units could not be rebuilt on the same site as the land was rezoned for single-family housing more than 10 years ago.

After last night's third straight blown save, the Toronto Blue Jays have removed Francisco Cordero, or Coco as he's lovingly called by his manager and derisively called by his team's fans, from the role of closer and made Casey Janssen his temporary replacement.
With Sergio Santos already set to begin a rehabilitation program on his injured right shoulder (which should take two weeks), Janssen's ascension to the role promises to be brief. Frankly, I don't really understand what Janssen has done to earn the promotion, but it's not as though there are a myriad of candidates that should feel hard done by because of this decision.
So far this season, Janssen hasn't pitched nearly as poorly as his 5.23 ERA might suggest. He's felt the sting of a very unlucky 25% home run to fly ball rate, which is nearly the opposite of the very good luck he experienced last year with a minuscule 4.3% HR/FB.
I think that last number is important because Janssen's new status in the bullpen has a lot to do with last year's performance, in which he struck out a career high 23.8% of the batters that he faced, while maintaining a very decent 6.3% walk rate. His ERA, WHIP and FIP for the season were all the best of his career, and a large improvement over the numbers he sported one season earlier.
However, if we dig a little bit deeper, we see that his biggest improvement between the two seasons was found in his results against left handed batters who went from having a .360 wOBA in 2010 to a .235 wOBA in 2011. This change in results for Janssen occurred despite little difference in approach, as we see after comparing pitch selections in different counts between years. There is however, a noticeable difference in BABIP for the right handed reliever, suggesting that it has much to do with luck.
Janssen's true talent is probably closer to something in the middle of his 2010 and 2011 numbers, which in my mind is still surprising given the absolute lack of anything to get excited about from his six pitch repertoire. Note to right handed batters: Try to avoid swinging at Janssen's breaking pitches, they don't usually land for strikes.
But as I suggested in a previous paragraph, there really isn't another bullpen option to get excited about, and we've already documented Francisco Cordero's declining velocity ergo declining strike out rate issues. I suppose you could make a case for Darren Oliver, who surprisingly has reverse splits over the course of his career when you look at opponents' wOBA.
Frankly, I like Oliver outside of a set role because he's exhibited a comfortability over the last few seasons being used whenever a manager sees fit. He seems like the perfect pitcher to have for a variety of high leverage situations outside of the ninth inning.
Which brings us back to the bigger issue here, which is the role of the closer.
In a vacuum, it seems ridiculous to roll out your bullpen according to what's essentially a meaningless counting statistic in the save. However, studies have shown that specialized bullpens offer a slight improvement over how relievers used to be managed before the save became a thing to be counted. Teams that wait to use their most valuable relievers for save chances win approximately one extra close game every two years. That's not a lot, but it's something.
If you ask players and managers, they'll tell you that relievers want to have a set role in the bullpen, be it seventh inning guy, left handed specialist, set up man or closer. This seems like bullshit to most of us, who see how a certain handed pitcher has done in the past against a certain handed batter and question why that pitcher wouldn't be brought in to face that batter regardless of inning.
It's probably a tired narrative, but I'm not certain that it's without any merit whatsoever. What I don't like is an equally unfounded argument that's often cited by the other side of this debate. We hear all the time about how Major League managers, outside of Joe Maddon, are afraid to try new things at the cost of looking stupid. This seems as equally presumptuous to me as any argument defending the need for a "proven closer."
It seems to me that good managers are willing to sacrifice pride on a daily basis and I don't think it's absurd to suggest that there are a lot of face saving stories baseball skippers keep to themselves for the sake of the team. Ultimately, I have a very hard time believing that a manager who pinch hits for J.P. Arencibia with Omar Vizquel would be at all worried about our precious perceptions in how he also manages a bullpen.
Managers believe that what they're doing will give them the best chance of winning, not only the day's game, but the next and the next after that. This is the manager that a front office has hired, and whether the best reliever should have a defined role or face the opposition when leverage is at its highest, the decision that a manager makes is unlikely to be persuaded by what we collectively are going to think of it.
Right or wrong with their actions, it's insulting to suggest that the motivation behind the management of a bullpen is about anything other than finding success.

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Jewely!
Facts about Jewely
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Tortoiseshell
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Jewely's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Sweet Jewely was left behind in an apartment when her owner moved to Florida. She had no food or water. She managed to stay alive by drinking from the toilet bowl. The janitor for the apartment complex found her after about 3 weeks. She was thin, but still ready to purr and forget how cruel life can be. She is estimated to be about 10 years old and wants nothing more than to love and be loved by her human companions.
Jewely is now safe in a Stray Cat Blues foster home, but eagerly awaiting a forever home where she will not have to worry about being abandoned ever again.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jewely, a Colmar Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Colmar, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Colmar.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Colmar already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Colmar breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Colmar paves the way for another one to be saved.

Inspired by the community veg growing project I helped start up in 2009, the book is a month-by-month guide to growing veg in urban front gardens and small spaces. It also gives tips and advice on how to start your own street growing project – knitting your community together as you go.
I also write the 'Garden Diary' column for Garden Answers and I'm very happy to undertake new gardening projects as well as writing and photography commissions.

Type 2 diabetes — the most prevalent form of the disease.
"Every five seconds, someone is diagnosed with diabetes," said Ruiz-Montero, who is president of medical staff at St. Catherine's Hospital in East Chicago.
As of January 2011, the epidemic known as diabetes affects 25.8 million people in the United States. In Indiana, 711,200 adults are living with diabetes; In Illinois, 1.4 million people live with diabetes. Of that 1.4 million in Illinois, 1,132,600 people are living in the Chicago area, according to statistics reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
What is diabetes?
Diabetes Mellitus is a disease where the body has difficulty processing glucose, protein and fat. The pancreas has a difficult time regulating the hormone insulin [Type 2] or it [the pancreas] don't produce insulin at all [Type 1].
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease. Traditionally referred to as juvenile diabetes, the classification was changed to Type 1 diabetes in 1999 as this type can develop at any stage of life, but usually by age 28.
Insulin regulates the amount of sugar the body uses to function, which means, without insulin, the body doesn't function.
Mary McAfee, internist at Rush-Copley in Aurora, used a great analogy to describe Type 2 diabetes.
"The bloodstream is an expressway that distributes sugar and insulin — both of which are on the expressway. In order for the body to use sugar properly, you have to get the sugar out of your bloodstream and into your cells (heart, skin, muscle, lungs, etc.)
"When you have Type 2 diabetes, insulin is on the expressway with all the exit ramps blocked off. It can't get to the cells in the body that need it to function properly."
Of the 25.8 million people who have diabetes in the United States, 7 million don't even know they have the disease because they haven't been diagnosed. Factors that impede a diagnosis include lack of medical insurance and lack of education about available resources that are free.
To make matters worse, 79 million people living in the United States have prediabetes — the condition where the body already exhibits signs of Type 2 diabetes yet the blood sugar levels are not quite high enough to tip the scales over into full-fledged Type 2 diabetes — and 2,459,800 of those with prediabetes are living in Chicago as of 2010.
It is estimated that 90 to 95 percent of those living with diabetes have Type 2 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes only affects an estimated 5 percent of the U.S. population.
African Americans, Asians, Native Americans, Pacific Islanders and Hispanics are predisposed to develop Type 2 diabetes due to genetics and lifestyle choices. Type 1, on the other hand, doesn't appear to target any specific segment of the population.
Prediabetes has several risk factors. They include age (over 45), family history, weight, race/ethnicity (listed above), eating habits and activity levels (not exercising at least three times a week for 30 minutes each). Women who have given birth — if she had gestational diabetes (elevated blood glucose levels sustained during pregnancy) or delivered a baby that weighed over nine pounds at birth — are at risk of developing prediabetes.
When someone develops Type 1 diabetes, "the body attacks its own pancreas and stops producing insulin," explained Betty Wickman, Diabetes educator and registered dietitian at Edward Hospital in Naperville.
It's difficult to ignore symptoms of Type 1 diabetes because they can be severe enough to require hospitalization. People with Type 1 diabetes must be treated with insulin.
"The acids or ketones that form in your blood as a result of the body not producing insulin can make you very sick," said Ronald Ackermann, an internist specializing in the treatment of diabetes at Northwestern University with offices in Chicago and East Humboldt Park.
These acids are essentially poisoning your blood. Symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, unusual weight loss, fatigue and irritability are all signs that a person can exhibit when they have Type 1 diabetes.
Those who develop Type 2 diabetes may exhibit no symptoms at all for many years. Feeling thirsty, drinking more fluids, frequent urination and cuts that won't heal are some of the symptoms.
"One of the many symptoms of Type 2 diabetes is frequent urination because your system is working to get rid of the excess sugar in your body," Ruiz-Montero said.
Wickman said that an important factor in a more timely diagnosis is paying attention to what's happening in your body.
"Many people walk around with symptoms such as fatigue, feeling thirsty, urinating more and for women especially, recurrent urinary tract infections and yeast infections, not realizing that these are symptoms of Type 2 diabetes," she said.
Managing the disease
"Diabetes is the ultimate disease of self-management," McAfee said.
Insulin injections, diet and exercise are used to manage Type 1. Type 2 management includes diet, exercise and in many cases, medications ranging from pills to insulin injections.
For those who develop Type 2 diabetes, maintaining a healthy weight is essential.
"The more surface area the body has, the harder it is to manage sugar with the same amount of insulin. Losing weight creates changes in the body's chemistry that make it more sensitive to insulin," Ackermann said.
Gwen Franklin, dietitian and certified diabetes educator with Advocate South Suburban's Diabetes Wellness Clinic in Hazel Crest recommends using as many resources available.
"Portion control, with more fruits, nonstarchy vegetables and the use of myplate.org are several ways to be proactive in managing diabetes," Franklin said.
The Diabetes Wellness Clinic at Advocate South Suburban also utilizes a smart app and grocery store tours as part of their efforts to help patients manage this disease.
Prevention, risk
The CDC reports that there is currently no way to prevent Type 1 diabetes because scientists are still trying to pin down its cause. Clinical trials are being planned in an effort to discover the roots of Type 1 diabetes.
But lifestyle choices do play a role in developing a risk for Type 2 diabetes.
"Lifestyle choices determine whether or not someone who is already at risk due to genetics will develop Type 2 diabetes," said Amy Hess Fischl, registered dietitian at University of Chicago Kovler Diabetes Center in Chicago.
Being overweight increases the risk significantly.
"For every 10 pounds of weight gained, the risk [of developing Type 2 diabetes] increases significantly," said Northwestern University's Ackermann.
For every two pounds of weight loss, the chance of developing diabetes is reduced by about 15 percent, Ackermann explained.
Can diabetes be cured?
Medical experts are predominantly of the opinion that once a diagnosis of diabetes is made, you will always be considered a diabetic — even if you are managing the disease really well.
"If it's diagnosed early through screening, a significant percent, normally about one-third return to normal blood glucose levels," Ackermann said.
But he did stress that this doesn't mean you are no longer considered diabetic. All forms of diabetes improve with better lifestyle choices, but for those who have Type 2 diabetes or who are at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, lifestyle choices that include managing weight can literally mean the difference in the quality of life.
Pamela Kontos, advanced practice nurse at Advocate South Suburban Hospital's Diabetes Wellness Clinic in Hazel Crest, concurs.
"Healthy eating, exercise and maintaining a healthy weight are all behavior modifications that will improve the quality of life for individuals living with diabetes."

China's government-controlled newswire reports that "pragmatic progress has been made" in the trademark dispute that pits Apple against Proview Technology, a financially struggling monitor maker that claims rights to the iPad trademark in China. Apple has claimed it bought the Chinese rights to the iPad trademark name from a Proview subsidiary in Taiwan.
"We feel that the attitude of Apple Inc. has changed. Although they expressed that they were willing to negotiate, they have never taken any action before. But now, they are having conversations with us, and we have begun to consult on the case," said Xie Xianghui in an interview with Xinhua on Sunday.
Xie said the two sides have discussed a compensation package, but Proview has not agreed on a deal. It's not known how much Apple has offered to settle the case, assuming the report is true.
The stakes in the case are enormous as China is playing an increasing important role in the runaway sales success of Apple various devices. China is also home to Foxconn, the primary manufacturer of iPhones and iPads. Apple CEO Tim Cook said during an earnings conference call that Apple's revenue in Greater China in the second quarter was a record $7.9 billion.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Diamond, a Manchester Beagle dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Beagle for sale in Manchester, or seeking a Beagle dog from a breeder in Manchester.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Manchester already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Manchester breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Beagle breeders who help with Beagle rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Manchester paves the way for another one to be saved.

I am a college student studying History at a University here in Portland. I live with my fiance and our adorable Rottweiler, Minnie.
My oldest favorite cookbook is my moms ragged old copy of The Joy of Cooking; For its amusing illustrations and thoroughness.
I especially like Mark Bittman's new revised How to Cook Everything as it is much less intimidating and more practical than Joy of Cooking. My very favorite cookbook of all is Pie by Ken Haedrich.
While I adore baking, cooking is still a bit difficult for me. I have the worse time getting several dishes on the table at once while still hot.
I'm known for my baked goods like brownies cakes and pies, and for my fantastic burritos which I have never written down a recipe for.
I love desserts more than anything... I mean I really, really, love sugar. I have a tendency to plan meals around desserts.
Besides, flour and sugar are much more affordable than meat.

PARIS -- Technip was awarded by Murphy Exploration & Production a lump sum contract for the development of the Dalmatian field, located in the Gulf of Mexico, at a water depth ranging from 530 to 1,800 m. This field, jointly owned by Murphy and Ecopetrol America, is comprised of the De Soto Canyon Blocks 4, 47, 48 and 91. The project consists of a subsea tie-back to an existing Gulf of Mexico platform.
The contract covers project management, engineering, fabrication and installation of a gas riser, an oil riser, a 38-km flowline and a 34-km pipe-in-pipe flowline with associated PLETs and jumpers, installation of a main subsea control umbilical, infield umbilical, and associated foundation and flying leads, and pre-commissioning.
Technip' s operating center in Houston, Texas will perform the overall project management. The flowlines and risers will be welded at the Group's spoolbase in Mobile, Alabama.
Offshore installation is scheduled to be completed in 2013 by the Deep Blue, Technip's deepwater pipelay vessel, the Pioneer, which was recently added to the Technip fleet with the acquisition of Global Industries, and the HOS Iron Horse, a Technip managed multiservice vessel.
