Standard Life Healthcare was the UK's fourth-largest private medical insurer, with an 8% market share and 490,000 members. At the time the acquisition created the UK's fourth largest PMI provider, with a customer base in excess of 700,000 lives and premiums of approximately £400m.
March 2011 – Westfield Health acquires PatientChoice
Britain's second largest cash plan provider acquires the specialist hospital treatment plan provider.
June 2011 – AXA PPP healthcare announces intention to acquire Health-on-Line
Britain's second largest PMI provider already underwrites Health-on-Line products
August 2011 – Simplyhealth agrees to acquire Groupama Healthcare
The deal, set to be completed in the next three to six months, adds 4,500 schemes and 88,000 members to Simplyhealth's customer base. The cash plan and PMI provider will become the fifth largest player in the PMI market following the acquisition.
PMI premiums for SMEs (companies employing up to 200 people) have increased by 10% since 2010 according to employee benefits consultancy Mercer. SMEs are now paying average annual premiums per member of £1,532 up from £1,499. Mercer believes that this was partly caused by insurers looking to boost margins that were eroded in the recession, when premiums were dropped in order to retain business, but also by rising healthcare costs, driven by expensive new forms of treatment and an ageing population. Employees aged over 65 constituted 3% of all workers in 2010, a percentage that has doubled over the last decade.
While insurers often promote PMI as a tool for improving productivity and preventing absence, surveys suggest that it remains regarded as a "perk" by employers. According to Mercer's 2010 employer survey, attraction and retention of talent is the most important objective behind offering health-related benefits. While 42% of employers use PMI as a means of managing long-term absence (Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development), just 11% cite it as a top three most effective method for tackling this problem, behind 14 other services and tools including occupational health involvement, restricting sick pay and flexible working. Aon Hewitt's Benefits & Trends Survey 2011 found that nearly a third of employers are planning to revise their healthcare benefits, driven by the need to reduce expenditure.

Mayor Wants to Keep Night Driving

Montrose Seeking More Freedom on Golf Cart Rules
Montrose approved an ordinance in 2012 that allows golf carts to be driven on city streets at night. However, the city recently discovered this ordinance interferes with state law.
Mayor Bobby Reid has received positive feedback from other towns regarding the community aspect of the ordinance.
"These golf carts have got middle-aged and older people out of their homes at night. Instead of sitting around watching television or messing around with a computer all night, they will ride around town with their golf cart, and they will stop and visit," Reid said. "It's made this town a lot friendlier."
Reid said the request should be considered because there are no state highways that pass through the town, just a national scenic byway along the Mississippi River.
He said the state has asked Montrose to change its ordinance, but he hopes to speak with state lawmakers to either change the state requirement for night driving or get a waiver.

After the success of his star making Hercules movie, Steve Reeves turned down the role that finally went to Clint Eastwood in Fistful of Dollars. The reason Reeves turned down the role is, in his own words: "I didn't believe that Italians can make good Westerns. But I was wrong." Steve also claimed to have turned down the role of James Bond in Dr. No. Reeves mentioned in an interview that he was offered only $100,000 to play 007, whereas he was earning $250,000 per film in Italy, and as such was tied with Sophia Loren as the highest paid actor in Europe at the time. Thus he turned down the role of James Bond to continue making a larger salary in Italy. Perhaps Reeves was wise to keep collecting his higher salary, as making action movies is always risky and Reeves' unique body made him hard to double. Indeed, his leading man career lasted a mere 10 years because when filming The Last Days of Pompeii, Reeves dislocated his shoulder when the chariot he was driving hit a tree. In the same movie, he had to swim underwater beneath buring oil and his shoulder was re-injured. His ability to do stunts lessened on each movie, ultimately leading to his decision to retire. However, in 1967, Reeves finally did make an Italian Western that he not only starred in but produced: A Long Ride from Hell. He retired very well off and raised Morgon horses on his ranch in Southern California. So perhaps in this case, it was prudent for him to collect higher salaries in movies while he could.

Wyoming Miners' Hospital Low on Cash
Submitted by ErickPauley on Mon, 06/18/2012 - 09:21The Wyoming Miners' Hospital Board is faced with too little money to deal with a growing numbers of miners registering for its medical program. The more than 7,600 current and former miners currently enrolled are taxing the system to the point that services are having to be suspended. The Miners' Hospital Board is proposing several major changes to eligibility criteria to help save money. For instance, office staff and other workers who have casual or no direct contact with the mining process would be excluded.

He was last seen wearing a camouflage hat, sunglasses, a black shirt and blue jeans.

Do we really need names?
This photo via Flickr via Leo Reynolds.
We help name things.
Names can tell a great story. Like love146.
Names can unite a community. Like the Fiskateers.
Names can evoke emotion like the name the kids in South Carolina found for their youth powered tobacco free movement. Rage Against the Haze.
Names can ignite fasciniation, like Wonderopolis.
I could go on. But it's Friday. So let's chat.
Today's chat pack question is fun.
Suppose instead of having a name, you had a letter. and people would always refer to you as that letter. What letter would you want to replace your name?
Mine is easy.
I have spent my whole life explaining the extra B in my name (After staring at me for 11 days, my folks finally named me RoBBIn with two B's. I am kinda fond of that extra B. It was worth the wait.)
So how about you? Come on. Share.
6 Responses to "Do we really need names?"
I would say "T". As a marketing technologist, I am where marketing and IT cross, which aligns perfectly with a T. Fortunately it is also the first letter in my name!
Now, if I was a pirate I would of course choose R.
W = life | up and down up and down but always finishing on the up peak
Mine is easy! You've already referred to it in previous blog comments.
Quite simply, W.
Being from the South, it's pronounced 'dubya' instead of 'double-yew'.
"U" simply because it would make for fun "Who's on First?" types of sentences such as:
"I'm going to go out to dinner with U."
"I'm just waiting for U to give me a call."
"I love you, U"We could go on and on
Happy Friday!
It's the first letter of my first name.
In ASL, the shape is "fingers crossed" (hope)
Also in ASL, the sign for "ready" is the R shaking back and forth.I try to be ready and hopeful.
E- simply E- when I get excited it's Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! When I show up it's E! Eeeeeeeeeeee!

Louisiana Public Colleges and UniversitiesFour-Year Public Colleges and Universities in LouisianaNowhere is this dichotomy more apparent than in New Orleans. Although the recent hurricane has damaged much of the "Big Easy," in time, it will most certainly regain its former luster. At which point, while attending one of Louisiana public collges you will be able to take advantage of the bustling nightlife, delicious Cajun food, and rich multicultural history. If you live outside of the city limits, you can take advantage of the lazy afternoons, southern hospitality, and scenic landscapes. The State of Louisiana administers its own system of higher education, known as public colleges or universities, just like local governments and cities operate their own public K-12 school systems for local residents. Financial support for Louisiana public colleges and universities comes directly from the state government, from tax dollars and other revenue the state collects in lieu of private endowments. Louisiana public colleges and universities may also receive funds from the federal government and private sources, but in many cases the state is the primary source of support of public colleges. Louisiana is home to a broad range of online college degree programs and distance learning degrees that you enroll in. This state offers many wonderful continuing education opportunities as well. In Louisiana 81.6% people over the age of 25 have attained a high school diploma, this is 6.20% lower than the average state, 87.80%. Louisiana ranks 49th out of the 50 states in percentage of high school graduates. 21.1% people over the age of 25 have attained a bachelor's degree which is 6.00% higher than the national average, 27.10%.

Mandy asks…
How do I make tapioca pearls sweet for bubble tea?
Tea Search Questions answers:
The beauty of Bubble Tea is the versatility of this drink. Please play with the recipes and come up with your own creations. You can substitute milk, cream, half n half, sweetened and condensed milk, and the like instead of non dairy creamer. This way you can see how creamy, thick or strong the differences are and what you prefer. You can use tea or water for the powder drinks. You can blend your drink with ice and make a smoothie. Play with the sugar syrup recipe or use a pre-made syrup like fructose or simple Hawaiian cane sugar. The only limit to this drink is our own imaginations. If you come up with something spectacular and want to share it, please email us and we will post it on our site. Good luck and enjoy!
How to cook Tapioca Pearls for Bubble Tea:
1 cup Tapioca Pearls (Bubble Tea Supply of course)
6-8 cups water
Approximately 6-10 servings
The ratio should be a minimum of 7:1, water to tapioca pearls.
Boil water in a large pot.
Add in the tapioca pearls to boiling water.
The tapioca pearls should float in the water.
Boil for about 25 minutes depending on the tapioca pearl with the cover on.
Turn the heat off and let the tapioca sit in the water for 25 minutes.
Rinse the cooked tapioca pearls in warm water and drain out the water.
Cover with bubble tea sugar syrup or brown sugar and serve.
Note: This is for those that want to make Bubble Tea at home and don't want to wait an hour. What I do is boil the tapioca pearls for 20 minutes and let it sit for 15 minutes. I rinse the tapioca pearls and then place in a container in the refrigerator. When I get the urge, I boil a cup of water and put some refrigerated tapioca pearls in for about 3-5 minutes. Rinse, cover in sugar syrup and serve. It usually lasts a few days before it gets too mushy. Enjoy!
*This is not recommended for bubble tea shops.
How to cook Bubble Tea Sugar Syrup:
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups water
Approximately 32-35 sixteen ounce servings
Mix sugar and water in a large pot.
Cook at medium to high heat.
Once the mixture boils remove from stove immediately.
Let cool and serve.
*Refrigerate any excess
good luckerz!!!=]
Laura asks…
How do you make bubble tea?
yeah….i wanna kno lol
thnx to whoever replies
Tea Search Questions answers:
Eel free to adjust this basic bubble tea recipe according to your own tea and flavoring preferences.
* 3 ounces tapioca pearls
* sugar syrup
* 1 cup brewed tea (Chinese black tea or lychee tea is good)
* 1 cup milk (or to taste)
* Ice cubes
* Tapioca Pearls
* 1 part tapioca pearls
* 4 parts (or more) water
* Sugar Syrup
* 2 parts white sugar
* 1 part brown sugar
* 3 parts water
Prepare the sugar syrup for the tapioca pearls (see below).[
Prepare the tapioca pearls (see below)
Place the tapioca pearls in the large glass jar
Allow the tea to cool to room temperature. Add the milk.
Remember the wild bar scenes in the Tom Cruise film Cocktail? Add the sugar syrup, milk and tea mix, and the ice cubes to a cocktail shaker and shake well. (Alternately you can process them in a blender, but that's not nearly as much fun!)
Pour the shaken mixture into the glass with the tapioca pearls.Serve with a thick straw.
To make the tapioca pearls: When making the tapioca pearls, which are the chief ingredient in Asian bubble teas, please note that the pearls expand considerably when cooked. Please ensure that you use a large pot. (As a rule, the more pearls cooked, the more water should be used: that is, the water to pearl ratio must be higher. For 3kgs of pearls, we recommend using as much as 6 times as much water).
Boil the water. Add the pearls to the boiling water and boil for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to make sure the pearls are not sticking to each other or to the pot. Turn off heat and let the pearls steep in the water for another 30 minutes with the lid of the cooking pot on.
Drain the tapioca pearls and rinse with cold water to cool them down. Place them in sugar syrup (sugar and water solution – see below). Make sure that the pearls are covered. Stir the pearls well. The pearls are now ready to enjoy.
To make the sugar syrup: in a saucepan, bring the water to boil. Add the sugars. Reduce heat and heat until the sugar crystals are dissolved. Remove from heat. Note: Please feel free to experiment with the ratio of white sugar to brown sugar, and the ratio of the sugar to water.

Paris hotels
Paris packs more charm, class, and coziness per square foot into its hotels than just about any other city in the world. And though some (but certainly not all) rooms bear resemblance to a walk-in closet, most derive that only-in-Paris feel from the history-soaked walls that contain them. To improve on history, luxury properties are increasingly attracting superstar chefsand sometimes staying the night is the only way to get a table.

September 2, 2011 BY John Kim / 76
Just last night Sneaker News gave you a look at a crisp, deadstock pair of the original Air Jordan XI in the White/Black-Dark Concord colorway. You know, the Jordans that Michael wore a bit too early (against the wishes of Tinker Hatfield)? Michael also reverted back to his original '23' after Nick Anderson, his counterpart at the Shooting Guard position, said Michael wasn't his old self. We've seen a number of variations of this astounding Air Jordan shoe, from the original to the 2000 Retro release, to the upcoming 2011 Retro, and let's not forget the Defining Moments Package edition that didn't feature any Dark Concord at all. Here we have a true alignment of the stars – a side-by-side (by side-by-side-by-side) comparison of five different Concord varieties. Prepare for a feast for the eyes below and let us know which of the four versions (the Toddler joints are exempt) you like best. via MJO23DAN on SC

A recent survey found homeowners are spending money on lawn care and pest control more than other home services.
Spending on maintenance services such as lawn care and pest control increased, while home remodeling decreased in the fourth quarter of 2010, according to a survey released Tuesday by ServiceMagic. ServiceMagic operates a website that connects consumers with home-service professionals. Home improvements increased in the first half of 2010, but couldn't hold demand. For instance, adding sunrooms or enclosed patios was down 36 percent in the fourth quarter of 2010 when compared to the fourth quarter of 2009. Remodeling a bathroom was down 37 percent for the same time period. But convenience and maintenance requests, such as cleaning and maid services, lawn and garden care and handyman services all increased. Lawn and garden care increased 22 percent in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to the fourth quarter of 2009. The top five increases in service requests were: 1. Pest control, up 30.5 percent 2. Cleaning and maid service, up 25.7 percent 3. Lawn and garden care, up 21.5 percent 4. Snow removal service, up 20 percent 5. Sheds and enclosures, up 18.6 percent "Significant increases in convenience service categories reflect the growing trend of homeowners paying for home services that in the recent past, with tighter economic conditions, they were choosing to do on their own," said Craig Smith, ServiceMagic's CEO. The company received more than 1.2 million requests for service from homeowners in the fourth quarter of 2010, which was about the same amount it received for the same period of 2009.

Fantinel Prosecco NV 750ml$14.94
Fantinel Sant'helena Ribolla 2012
- Friuli-Venezia Giulia
- Italy
2012 has, so far been a positive year for wineries around the world. While it may be a little too early to speak of the wines being made in the northern hemisphere, European and North American wineries have already begun reporting that their harvesting season has been generally very good, and are predicting to continue with the kind of successes they saw in 2011. However, 2012 has been something of a late year for France, due to unpredictable weather throughout the summer, and the grapes were ripening considerably later than they did in 2011 (which was, admittedly, an exceptionally early year). French wineries are claiming, though, that this could well turn out to be advantageous, as the slow ripening will allow the resulting wines to express more flavour and features of the terroir they are grown in. The southern hemisphere has seen ideal climatic conditions in most of the key wine producing countries, and Australia and New Zealand particularly had a superb year, in particular with the Bordeaux varietal grapes that grow there and which love the humidity these countries received plenty of. Also enjoying a fantastic year for weather were wineries across Argentina and Chile, with the Mendoza region claiming that 2012 will be one of their best vintages of the past decade. Similar claims are being made across the Chilean wine regions, where Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon had an especially good year. These two grape varietals also produced characterful wines on the coastal regions of South Africa this year.
Situated in the north of Italy, between the Alps and the Adriatic Sea, Friuli-Venezia Giulia is a fascinating and ancient wine region which is only just being discovered by the international wine audiences, keen to uncover more lesser known gems of Italy. Because Friuli-Venezia Giulia is so close to the Austrian and Slovenian borders, the wines there display a distinctly Germanic character, and typically Germanic grape varietals such as Riesling grow extremely well there, and capture much of their stunning alpine terroir. As such, alpine freshness, crystal clear mountain water and beautifully dry and crisp notes are what Friuli-Venezia Giulia's wines are most renowned for, and the Riesling, Pinot Bianco and Pinot Grigio wines of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, made by small, dedicated and traditional wineries, are considered amongst the finest in the world.
There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' the land of wines so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

I cut candles straight down their waxy center
just by looking into the flame. Slick peels of
honeycomb melt into my palm and blister skin.
Then the world ricochets forward.
I plummet back into my body and there's
a thick distortion in audio. A constant pulse at
the back of my eyes, tuned to the rhythm of your
heartbeat. I look for traces of you, but,
God, you're lost.
Leaves fall as paper lanterns from wooden fingers.
Spiraling upwards on the breath of cosmos, back
to Heaven, lit like the sun on a marvelous azure
backdrop. I needed your wisdom, but all is gone.
Christ, you're dead.
Atheists are not meant to love. Realists are not
meant for passion. Idealists are the dreamers
of their own demise; only they can make it
A man once told me that the astute make terrible
lovers, but I'll fight that to the bitter end. Maybe
the irrational are so hopeful in their wafts of
hallucination they cannot come to mindful conclusions
of their forsaken love.
There's a poet under my skin, itching to get out
again. But he's wrapped so tightly in misery and
grief, he can't pull his fingers close enough to the
flesh tomb that surrounds him.
But a poet is no poet, if only one emotion is felt.
Likewise, no poet if only emotion felt. No poet, if
stone words fall on glass houses and lifeless birds fly.
Here I am, No Poet, dwelling on lucidity and broken
execution, failed thoughts and sorrow. Yes, I am
No Poet, and God, we're done.

Anyway, I went to the zoo today. Steven wasn't feeling well, so he decided to stay home. I don't see him as a zoo person anyway. Being a thanksgiving animal himself, I imagine that he would probably throw up what's left of him at the sight of his living turkey brethren.I arrived about 16 seconds after the forty-second minute of the fifth hour of the dawn of the eighth day of the eleventh month and, boy, was it packed. Everyone was crowding around something and, being so naturally curious (or a "damn stupid boy, now get me some damn whiskey" as my papa would say) I had to see! And low, onto my eyes appeared the most glorious sight I had ever seen! A MAN FEEDING MONKEYS IN THEIR CAGE!Then I looked at th

Pope John XXIII was once asked how many people worked for the Vatican. "About half" he humorously replied, alluding to a workforce not known for its speed and efficiency. Under the pontificates of John Paul II and especially Benedict XVI, however, the Vatican seems to have made some efforts to improve the delivery of various services.
Take for example this interview with the city-state's head physician, Dr. Giovanni Rocchi, who boasts of minimal waiting periods for patients at Vatican-run health clinics and laboratories. Such medical services are provided to Vatican employees and residents, including the Swiss Guard, local security officials, and the thousands of daily visitors to the Vatican.
Emergency treatment, Dr. Rocchi says, is immediate and often relies on its own ambulance service to transport the injured and sick. Clinical test results are typically received within 2-3 days. Major medical interventions such as heart or back surgery are usually arranged within a maximum of 2-3 weeks upon diagnosis, which is nothing compared to the purgatory Italian citizens must endure in the country's public health care system for similar and even very minor treatments.
The Vatican's health care system is small-scale, offering limited medical services such as emergency first aid, clinical analyses, immunization, physical check-ups, with much of the routine care provided by general practitioners. Major medical surgery must be arranged through outsourced medical facilities found in Rome's private religious hospitals, like the Fatebenefratelli hospital located on the Tiber Island or the Gemelli hospital, which cared for Pope John Paul II on several occasions.

Yesterday, the streets of Manhattan's Union Square ran red with the slushy ruins of a promotional effort by Snapple to topple the Guinness record for "The World's Largest Popsicle." With the help of agency Deutsch, Snapple was looking to publicize its new line of "Snapple on Ice" frozen treats while erecting a 25-foot-tall frozen kiwi strawberry ice pop on Union Square North, before the effort was abandoned when the ice pop began to melt.

Over the past few months, my mom, who has type 2, has been having a bit of a problem. It's embarrassing for her, but at the same time, it's one that has me at a loss.
She's been having problems with her gastrointestinal system. She'll be walking around, working, sewing, making jewelry, when all of a sudden, she has to run to the bathroom. And she will be in there 5, 6, 7 or more times for the next two or three hours. It's been hard on her and she had to give up her part-time job because she couldn't stand at the register without having to run away from customers. She's even lost 5-6 lbs, most likely as a result of this.
Because it had gotten so bad that it was interfering with her life, she made an appointment with her GP, who told her it was most likely IBS and that she needed to stop all dairy products then prescribed an antispasmodic and fiber to deal with the symptoms. It's kind of, sort of worked, in that she hasn't spent every single day in the bathroom with this problem, but it hasn't resolved it completely. For instance, we ate the Pennsylvania Dutch tradition of pork and sauerkraut on New Year's Day (low carb, though high sodium), and she ended up in the bathroom for about 2 hours. ARGH!
Needless to say, she's not a happy camper (though I personally like that we have an excuse to drink soy milk, which has far fewer carbs). A few weeks ago, she got a call from her gastroenterologist. It's time for her colonoscopy. Kind of fortuitous, huh? Well, she had the appointment today, and naturally, she told the doctor about the problem. He confirmed that the drugs, the fiber, and cutting out the dairy were the right things to do, so the GP at least did that right. She has an appointment for a colonscopy and he's determined to find out what the problem is and help her fix it.
Well, here's the odd thing. When the gastroenterologist's office examined her drug records, they, of course, noted the Metformin. She's been taking it for about 10 years and hasn't liked it since she started. It caused her stomach and intestinal problems that were pretty bad (she again had to spend far too much time in the bathroom than she should have), but she ignored it because the doctor wanted her on it to manage her dm. The symptoms did seem to decrease, but now...well.... What's most odd is that the nurse at the office told her that "perhaps you've been on metformin too long". Huh? That's something I hadn't heard before. I did do some research and found this page on eHealthMe.com, which states that approximately 0.30% of people reporting problems with metformin reported they had gastroenteritis. Further, my mom fits into all of the groups which are most likely to report having gastroenteritis: Having taken the drug 5-10 years, being female, and being over 60. Hmm, could this be a possibility?
I'm at a loss. I had always heard that after a few months, the gastrointestinal problems go away. I've never heard of them appearing years after. So, I'm curious: Anyone else out there having this problem years after starting metformin?
I became metaformin intolerant following a few years on the drug. I suffered increasingly from intestinal and bowel problems/ side effects as the dosage was increased and my intolerance developed. Boughts of constipation followed by diarrhoea and constant wind, bloating and discomfort. Not to mention almost constant nausea. Once I was switched to other drugs, the symptoms virtually disappeared. I felt healthier, more comfortable, began eating properly and went on from there...
Regards ash,
Thanks, Ash! It's good to hear that someone else has had these same problems. My mom's GP has always told her she'd just have to live with it and I think after 10 years, she's given it enough time. It did help manage her bgs for a while, but she's now on glipizide, Januvia, and Levemir -- and her bgs are still wildly out-of-control, going from 50 something to 300 something several times a week (or at least what she admits to me).
I also had problems with metformin when a doc I was seeing decided that was the most appropriate treatment for me. It did nothing for me except make me feel nauseous, cause me to lose my appetite, and just generally feel ill. "Just stick with it," he kept telling me, "the symptoms will decrease in time." Not only did the symptoms not decrease over the 6 months I tried it, the blasted crap didn't even touch my post-meal bgs, which would climb to at least 200 (if I ate a lower-carb meal) to over 260 (if I ate a "normal" carb meal). I was glad to have a doctor finally give me a c-peptide test and confirm that I have type 1 dm and start on insulin. Perhaps it's time for my mom to start on MDI and drop the type 2 drugs as well.
I was on it for 8 years. Never really had the gastrointestinal issues go away, just tried to live around them, yes I took the ER, didn't help.Each year the reaction was getting worse. My new endo gave me the ok to stop taking it, said I wasn't tolerant of it and didn't appear to be helping me enough to suffer those effects.
All symptoms gone!
Good Luck, Kelley
It's good to know it's not just my mom to whom this has happened! I'm hoping that over the next few weeks, we'll have a more definitive answer. To me, it sounds like she's going to be starting MDI soon.
Well, it can be pretty easy to see if metformin is the source of the problem. Simply do a challenge test, stop metformin for a couple weeks, see what happens and the restart metformin. If you really want to confirm that metformin is the problem, do the cycle again. But I have to ask you, have you considered other causes. Is it possible that your mother has gastroparesis after all these years? It can be a cause of the symptoms you describe.
We're considering all possibilities, Brian. :) I brought up the possibility of gastroparesis last night, and it wasn't received well. She doesn't like the thought of the restrictions she'd have to be on. The problem is that there is no rhyme or reason to her...um...disruptions. It's not a specific food, food type, or food group that causes the problem. The other day, she had a huge salad made of romaine lettuce, tomatoes, green peppers, and pork with olive oil and vinegar (low carb, high protein, high fat) and she didn't have any problems. Yet when she ate another meal that was quite similar (the pork and sauerkraut meal on New Year's Day), she had serious problems. Whatever the reason, she's going to have to do something!
Oh, BTW, before I forget: I do know that the metformin makes a huge difference in her bg management. When she's had to go off of it, her bgs tend to be way high. But, whether or not it makes a difference in her gastrointestinal problems is not clear at this point in time.
If you do pursue the question of gastroparesis, I just posted in a another thread about the topic. The R-R interval test can be performed by any doctor that has an ECG machine in their office (most GPs have them). That test is really good at determining whether the vagus nerve has neuropathy. It is damage to this nerve that causes gastroparesis.
And I have to tell you, for me, eating sauerkraut is nothing like eating a salad. Sometimes with sauerkraut, I haven't even finished the last bite before it has gone through me.
lactic acidosis could be problem and can be a side effect from using the metoformin,She could be over producing acid in her systerm.
Lactic acidosis is pretty rare and is usually associated with liver or kidney problems. The symptoms are:
Hyperventilation (to remove CO2)
Abdominal pain
Severe anemia
Irregular heart rate
You can have your doctor run a basic set of tests which will detect the low pH. Most doctors test liver function, and a declining liver function usually suggests a higher risk. But the real issue is that gastric distress is not really a symptom of acidosis and Angela's mom has not complained of any of these acidosis symptoms.

A search engine's ultimate mission is to serve the most relevant information it can. But from a search perspective, the emergence of social media has essentially expanded what's relevant.
While many refer to this subject matter as social media optimization (SMO), I prefer social search optimization due to the specificity. The end game is simple, and nothing new under the sun: maximizing the visibility of relevant content for those looking for it.
But First, a Real War Story
My good friend, Valerie, was recently looking for a job. In anticipation of the process, she updated her LinkedIn profile and did some house cleaning on her Facebook page.
Considering what any recruiter might do, she then did a Google search of her own name, and pow! The third search result was displaying a comment she made about a video within the Facebook page of the hit TV show, "Lost."
Commenting about Sawyer ("the hot guy") in the video, she wrote, "mmmmm, finger lickin' good!" To her shock, those were the words displayed front and center in the search result, with a link to the video right under her good name.
This is specific to an individual, but we can probably all recall a popular pizza maker who experienced ugly search results tied to their name in a different way -- yet still driven from social media.
Understanding Social Search: Two Sides
Social search varies in scope and definition, but most recognize it as the addition or inclusion of social content in the context of online search.
One side of social search is dedicated to understanding peoples' search habits (online and offline) for the purpose of improving the user experience. Think about how juicy this subject matter might be to a company like Google, which is constantly testing and changing the waters (algorithm) to serve the most relevant search results.
With search now implementing social content within the results, social interaction design (SxD) enthusiasts continue analyzing what works and what doesn't for people seeking information under various circumstances.
Brynn Evans, a respected thought leader in the field, has identified three categories of social search that fit this focus:
- Collective Social Search: For example, Twitter Trends as a crowdsourcing approach to search via real-time "harvester" tools.
- Friend-filtered Social Search: For example, Google Social Search, which yields results that may include tweets, blog posts, images, status updates and other results from your friends and contacts.
- Collaborative: For example, Google's acquisition of Aardvark, which enables two or more people working through an IM platform to get answers to questions).
Each of the three search types maintain a value unique from traditional, keyword-based search engines -- ultimately relying on people (beyond Google PageRank) to deliver the most meaningful results.
The second side of social search, typically more applicable to marketing, is one of "social objects." Social objects may consist of Facebook entries, YouTube videos, blog posts, comments, Flickr images, Yelp reviews, Scribd documents and much more.
Social objects are the elements that help drive conversations, and may consist of content directly indexed or associated through meta data (keywords that describe the content).
What Does it All Mean?
To reference Brian Solis's viewpoint: The future of marketing starts with publishing, therefore every company is a media company. As you may have surmised, social objects are the new low hanging fruit of search optimization.
That means applying some of the same search engine optimization (SEO) strategies you've used on traditional web pages to applicable social objects. From smart keyword-targeted tags and titles (of your videos, pics, posts, etc.), to the effective use of keywords in comments and Facebook profile descriptions -- your opportunity to optimize social assets for increased search visibility now abounds.

Japan Women's Soccer Team World Cup Winners
Japan defeated the U.S. in the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup Final in a penalty shootout, becoming the first Asian team to win the FIFA Women's World Cup. For many, Japan's penalty shoot-out victory over USA in the Final was a fitting conclusion to the tournament, especially in light of the catastrophic earthquake and tsunami which devastated the country earlier in the year. The Nadeshiko, inspired by star player Homare Sawa, combined slick passing with technical finesse to prove that women's football has truly arrived in every corner of the globe.

Strokes are the number one cause of disability in the US, so it's critical to know the signs of stroke and what to do immediately following a stroke in order to minimize its damage. Related Videos: What is a Stroke? (Part 1 of 2) | HealthiNation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCqhnTedZMs Preventing & Treating Stroke (Part 2 of 2) | HealthiNation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4UkyCyPpiY TRANSCRIPT: What is a Stroke? Stroke, sometimes called a "brain attack," is the number one cause of disability in the United States. It occurs when the normal flow of blood to the brain is interrupted, having the potential to cause serious, long-lasting damage to the brain. What Happens When a Stroke Occurs? A stroke, or blockage of normal blood flow to the brain, occurs in one of two different ways: Ischemic Stroke. In an ischemic stroke, blood clots or plaques build up in the blood vessels carrying blood to the brain. When your brain doesn't get enough blood, your brain cells begin to die rapidly. Ischemic strokes are the most common form of stroke and are the focus of this video. Hemorrhagic Stroke. This is also called a cerebral hemorrhage. It occurs when a blood vessel ruptures and blood spills into the brain tissue, killing brain cells. It is usually caused by high blood pressure or an aneurism. An aneurism is a weakened area of the blood vessel that balloons out and can rupture. Hemorrhagic stroke is less common than ischemic stroke, but can have devastating effects. Signs and Symptoms of Stroke It's important to understand the signs and symptoms of a stroke so you can take immediate action to prevent damage to the brain: A sudden numbness or weakness in one side of the body, specifically in the face, arm or leg Severe headache with no known cause Dizziness and a loss of balance or coordination Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding words Trouble seeing our of one or both eyes If you or someone you know experiences these symptoms, it may be a stroke or a mini-stroke, which is also known as a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA). While a TIA is not a full stroke, it should be taken seriously. One-third of people who have a mini-stroke will go on to have a stroke. Checking for a Stroke The National Stroke Association recommends immediate action if you think someone is having a stroke. Here are some simple tests for assessing a stroke: Face. Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop? Arms. Ask to person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? Speech. Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence. Are the words slurred and is the sentence repeated correctly? Time. If the answer to any of these questions is yes, time is critical. Call 9-1-1 or take the person to the hospital immediately. Risk Factors for Stroke While you can reduce your risk of having a stroke through lifestyle choices, there are certain uncontrollable factors that may put you at higher risk for stroke. These include: Age. You're at higher risk if you are over the age of 55. Gender. Men have a higher risk than women. Ethnicity. African American, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, Asian and South Asians are at higher risk. Family History. You should check to see if any of your close relatives have suffered a stroke; a family history puts you at greater risk. Your Medical History. If you have had a mini-stroke, or TIA, in the past, you are at higher risk for having a full stroke. Sources: Stroke.

Traditionally, the visual enumeration of a small number of items (1 to about 4), referred to as subitizing, has been thought of as a parallel and pre-attentive process and functionally different from the serial attentive enumeration of larger numerosities. We tested this hypothesis by employing a dual task paradigm that systematically manipulated the attentional resources available to an enumeration task. Enumeration accuracy for small numerosities was severely decreased as more attentional resources were taken away from the numerical task, challenging the traditionally held notion of subitizing as a pre-attentive, capacity-independent process. Judgement of larger numerosities was also affected by dual task conditions and attentional load. These results challenge the proposal that small numerosities are enumerated by a mechanism separate from large numerosities and support the idea of a single, attention-demanding enumeration mechanism.

Omdahl: 'White Supremes' endanger community 'Heritage House'
"Meeting again!" grumbled Holger Danske who interrupted his sauerkraut processing to attend this crisis meeting of the Homeland Security Committee. He had a fabulous cabbage crop and wanted to get it in the 20-gallon crocks while it was still fresh.
Other town electors echoed Holger's angst as they trekked into the community hall in the middle of garden cleanup.
Chairperson Ork Dorken rapped his Coke bottle for attention. The murmuring stopped.

(( Before you read I wanted to do a vote on which Nordic this series should end with ))
((Also some constructive criticism might help a little bit~ Thank you~ Hope you enjoy the story~))
You heard the sounds of sirens behind you as you fled from the orphanage. It had been years since you had seen your parents. They had died when someone shot them in the middle of their attack on the country of Finland. Your feet stumbled over a small ledge and you fell onto the ground. A squeal of pain escaped you when your head hit the cold pavement. Small puddles of blood formed around your head as you fell unconscious.
~P.O.V change~
Berwald and Tino were having their afternoon coffee at their regular cafe, as they saw a girl run by the window. Tino glanced over to Berwald,"Hey... Do you think we should follow her to make sure she is okay?" Berwald simply grunted then nodded to his so called wife. They both stood up and walked out of the cafe, only to see the cop cars go by.
Tino hurried up and speed-walked to where they figured she would be. As they continued along, Berwald spotted a figure out of the corner of his eye.
"Hey Finny... Do you see that?" Berwald asked, turning towards the alleyway. Tino saw the small figure and moved over to it. He realized it was the girl and gasped. Quickly he shuffled out of his jacket and placed it on her bloody body. The Swedish man made his way over to the two and picked up the (h/c) girl, "We should take her home to treat her and find out what was going on, Okay?"The Finnish man nodded and they walked home, through the now quiet dusk.
~Le timeskip and P.O.V back yo you~
You suddenly woke up, lights burning your eyes from the sudden exposure to it. Your head was throbbing with pain so you reached up, feeling your bandages. You hadn't remembered putting them on but shrugged it off. Every time your fingers ran over the covered wound, you winced slightly. Soon you got used to it and looked around your new surroundings. It wasn't the orphanage, which confused you, until you remembered your escape the previous day. Slowly, you sat up, looking at the clothes on your body. It was a (f/c) dress with black lace trimmings along the bottom. One of your hands ran along the fabric; it was a lot softer than you were used to which made you smile a little bit.
Suddenly an, an entertained chuckle came from the other side of the room, breaking tour train of thought. You saw a man with spiky, dirty blonde hair. he started to walk over to you, making you cower back in fear. The man sighed, "You shouldn't be afraid. Me and my friends are here to help you..." This only resulted in a quiet whimper coming from you. Silence filled the room until he coughed, clearing his throat, " I am Matthias...and you are...?"
You finally spoke up, barely hearable, but it was an accomplishment, "I-I'm (y/n)..." The danish man sighed in relief when you walked.
"Where do you live?" He asked softly.
A quiet whimper came past your lips, "I-I don't have a home..." The dane looked at you questioningly.
Matthias stood there quietly,the room filled with awkward silence. He coughed again, breaking the quietness, "Umm... Where are your parents...?"
"I don't have any..." You replied, sadness filling your voice.
~P.O.V change~
He sighed, looking at the girl in front of him. Maybe I should let her stay here... I mean we can't just send her back out into the cold... It would be cruel... He thought to himself. Hey maybe she will help everyone be more cheerful at the house again. He blinked, "You could stay with me and my friends if you want to. I'm sure they wouldn't mind " He sat up a little bit, "Let me ask them. I won't be more than few minutes, okay?"
(y/n) nodded, "O-Okay..." He could sense the slight fear in her voice.
"It's okay (y/n). You will be safe here." He assured her before standing up, "Just wait here."
~In the other room~
Tino turned his attention to the door when it was opened by the danish man, "How is she?" Did she wake up? What hap--"
calm down Tino... Listen, she doesn't have a home or parents, she doesn't have anything...So, I offered that she could stay here at our house for awhile..." The four nordics paused for a minute, thinking about whether or not they should let her stay.
Berwald finally spoke up, "I think it will be okay, for now. I think when she gets older though that we should find her a real home." They exchanged a few glances then nodded.
~Back to your P.O.V~
You glanced up when you heard the door open. Matthias made his way over yo you with a cheesy grin plastered on his face, "(y/n)!You get to stay with us!"
He picked you up gently and carried you out to them, "Everyone, this is (y/n)! the newest resident to the Nordic house!"
