Portuguese Water Dog
Physical Characteristics
Breed Group:
40-60 lbs
20-23 inches
For the most part, Portuguese Water Dogs are either totally black, black and white, or brown.
Their coats are made up of wavy or curly hair and they do not shed.
Portuguese Water Dogs are active, athletic dogs that enjoy many sports. As with most working dogs, they are loyal to their owners and are content by their side. It thrives with human interaction and prefers to be involved in some kind of activity. It is not advisable to leave them alone for long periods of time. They have a strong retrieving instinct, which is common among water dogs.
Country of Origin:
They first appeared in Portugal in 1500s where they were used by fishermen to communicate messages between fishing boats, herd fish into nets, and to retrieve fish and other objects from the water. They were also excellent guard dogs and were often utilized to guard the fishing boats.
By the 1970s, the Portuguese Water Dog was not very popular and their numbers dwindled to as few as 25 in the world. This near extinction of the breed has encouraged breeders to carefully restore their numbers.
As they are from Portugal and were used as water dogs, they got the name Portuguese Water Dog.
They are athletic and energetic and if properly exercised will be even-tempered, dependable, and loyal. Without enough activity they become destructive and mischievous.
Positive training methods, such as clicker training, are the most effective with Portuguese Water Dogs. They are highly trainable as they are keen to work and learn quickly. They are sensitive to tone of voice so changing your tone can be very effective during training. Since they are so intelligent, a consistent training routine will work best. They may be keen to test your patience or challenge you but with persistence they will train quickly.
Portuguese Water Dogs are very energetic and need a lot of exercise. They love to swim, as they are water dogs, so ideally walks should be taken near water. As they have a very strong retrieving instinct, the love to pay fetch and can be quite relentless in this activity.
Because they have demanding exercise requirements, owning a Portuguese Water Dog is not suitable for everyone. Firstly, they should have access to a yard. They also require a lot of attention and if left alone they will misbehave.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported this morning that the economy added 217,000 nonfarm payroll jobs and 216,000 private sector payroll jobs during May. The unemployment rate remained at 6.3% with the labor force participation stuck at 62.8% and the employment-to-population unchanged at 58.9%. Total nonfarm payrolls surpassed their January 2008 peak for the first time during the recovery.
Despite the gain of 216,000 jobs in the private sector, the private sector jobs gap, measured from the end of the recession, compared to the average of other post-1960 recoveries actually widened during May, rising to 5.8 million. When compared to the strong Reagan recovery of the 1980s the gap is a whopping 11.2 million.
Eliminating the 5.8 million private sector jobs gap by the end of 2016 would require the economy to add an average of 371,000 private sector jobs over the next 31 months. The highest gain of the recovery was 364,000 posted in January 2012; only one other time, April 2011, has the recovery added more than 300,000 private sector jobs in a month.
The unemployment rate held steady at 6.3% during the month, but as we have pointed out in the past, absent the decline in labor force participation since January 2009 levels, the unemployment rate would stand at 10.4%.
The employment-to-population ratio, or percentage of Americans age 16 and older, remained at 58.9%, or four full percentage points below its January 2008 level and 0.5 percentage point below its end of recession level.
The decline in labor force participation remains a major concern. While about half of the recent decline can be attributed to demographic changes, participation among all age groups EXCEPT those 60 and older, is lower than December 2007 levels.

The Marzocchi 888 RC3 Evo V2 titanium fork was designed for professional or highly skilled riders. The Marzocchi 888 is capable of taking on relatively high jumps or drops. Glide over fallen trees, holes, and boulders without breaking a sweat.
The Marzocchi 888 RC3 Evo V2 features an open bath cartridge with interchangeable compression shims that allow you to custom fit your fork exactly to your riding needs. The V2 Technology upgrades the Evo with a new rebound piston with bypass shims circuit. This results in a highly adjustable range in rebound, more sensitivity, and added effectiveness to the setting made to the compression side. The titanium spring is both highly resistant and extremely light weight, which will make every pedal stroke more efficient. The new bushing design features vertical slots for oil fluid and lubrication. The fitted design process forms itself to the internal casting machine seat. The goal is to have the supplest feel between the stanchions and the casing. The 888 RC3 Evo also features nickel coated stanchions that improve the smoothness and resistance of dirt.

Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research
The mission of the Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research at the Broad Institute is to decrease the burden of psychiatric disorders through research. Disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, and autism produce severe symptoms and significant functional impairments. According to the World Health Organization, psychiatric disorders are, in aggregate, the largest cause of disability worldwide. Despite the public health significance of these disorders and the distress they cause, progress on much needed new treatments has slowed to a near standstill because knowledge of disease mechanisms remains scant.
There is no more complex and challenging object of biological study than the human brain. Moreover, it is generally inaccessible to direct study in life. As a result, clues to pathogenic mechanisms of mental illness have been few and modest in nature. However, it has long been recognized that schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, autism, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder are among the most highly heritable disorders in medicine—signifying that clues to molecular mechanisms are hidden in the genomes of affected individuals. These genetic clues have remained frustratingly out of reach waiting for advances in genomic technology that have now arrived: the cost of sequencing DNA has decreased by about one million-fold over the last decade, making it feasible to study tens of thousand of patients. Situated within the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT, the Stanley Center can exploit the most advanced technologies for human genetic analysis to study psychiatric disorders. Working with a global consortium that has collaborated to solve the genetics of psychiatric disorders, the Center has thus far identified more than one hundred genetic loci (places in human genomes) that increase the risk of schizophrenia. Work on schizophrenia is continuing while significant efforts are ramping up in bipolar disorder, autism, and ADHD.
The discovery of genetic variants associated with disease is only the beginning. Our goal is not to end with a list of genes, but to contribute to new understandings and, above all, new treatments. Thus we have begun investigating the biology of risk associated genetic variants that we have discovered. We are studying relevant genes in human neurons that have been produced in vitro with stem cell technologies, and which have been engineered to contain the "risk" versions of genes. We are also investigating the effects of these genes in diverse animal models depending on the scientific questions posed—in zebra fish, mice, and other animals. As we make progress, our biochemistry and therapeutics groups are working toward the production of new chemical tools and ultimately new medicines. We are also allied with a clinical trials organization based at the Massachusetts General Hospital that will facilitate our ability to test biomarkers and to speed translation of new medicines to the clinic.
The Stanley Center has extensive collaborations with investigators both within the local Harvard, MIT, and Harvard-affiliated hospital communities and more broadly across the world.
All of our activities, from genetics to clinical trials would not be possible without the philanthropic support of the Stanley Medical Research Institute. Indeed Stanley philanthropy supported the ultimately successful genetic analysis of schizophrenia at a time when other funding agencies doubted the possibility of success.

How to combat a summer cold
By Meredith, Pure Matters
Well, it finally happened: My go-go-go attitude toward this summer, which has included pool parties, barbeques, restaurant tastings, wine happy hours, and road trips, has finally caught up to me.
One morning this week, I woke up with a doozy of a summer cold … sore throat, stuffed up nose combined, and a lovely post-nasal drip. There's something particularly miserable-making about a summer cold -- it's 95 degrees where I live, with 83 percent humidity, so I feel like I'm suffocating every time I step outside.
I am chalking this cold up 100 percent to skimping on sleep -- I've been squeezing too much into my days. (Who wants to spend a night resting on the couch while everyone else goes to a concert? Not me!)
That said, I've been forcing myself to rest more -- and taking my Rest Easy to sleep at night -- and it seems to be doing wonders. I've also ramped up my daily intake of fruits and veggies so I'm getting as much of the natural good nutrients as possible.
Here are a few more tips to cope with a summer cold if you're suffering, too.
Drink, drink, drink. I can't think of a single health situation in which water isn't the best course of action. In addition to my regular glasses throughout the day, I've been trying to incorporate two extras. If you're tired of water, here are six recipes for refreshing summer sips, including a pineapple smoothie I just might try tonight.
Try garlic. If you've got a sore throat, gargle with a mixture of pressed cloves and warm water twice a day. (And maybe brush your teeth afterward, for your spouse's sake.) If you can't stand garlic, try honey.
Lean on echinacea. Already sick? Echinacea can help decrease your symptoms, getting you back on your feet faster. Great news if you've got big weekend plans.
If you're feeling just fine … I have two pieces of advice … first, make Vitamin C your best friend. It's well known for its benefits as an immunity booster, as well as boosting energy (and who doesn't want an energy boost, even when they're feeling their absolute best?). Second, hit the gym. Studies have repeatedly shown that being physically fit can help you ward off illnesses. Yes, I realize that this likely means I'm terribly unfit!

In addition to solid earnings, AOL is reporting this morning that it has acquired Adap.tv for $405 million.It's a smart acquisition. The fastest-growing, healthiest part of AOL's business is AOL Networks.
AOL Networks uses fancy technology to sell precisely targeted banner ads in real-time.Adap.TV does much the same thing, but with video ads instead of banners.
The nice thing about video ads is that marketers are willing to pay much higher rates for them.
This is a very big bet for AOL CEO Tim Armstrong because these days, $400 million is a lot of money for AOL. It only had ~$470 million in cash laying around prior to doing this deal. The deal is $322 millin in cash, and $83 million in stock. AOL put out a release explaining its deal.

Jill Clark will be decked out in lime green clothes and accessories all month, has hung a lime green bow on the door of her workplace, and is constantly posting lime green-laced images on her Facebook wall.
She's joined local support groups, state chapters of national associations, and worldwide protests, but Clark is reaching out and telling her own story this May – Lyme disease awareness month – because for Clark, Lyme disease is personal.
People largely associate Lyme disease with the outward indications of a red bullseye rash or the presence of a tick on the skin. But Lyme can manifest itself in less obvious ways, mimicking other diseases, and can even lie dormant for years.
"It's a wicked disease," said Clark, who knows firsthand how Lyme can wreak havoc on a body.
In April 2009, Clark thought she had an ear infection, which got worse even after she took antibiotics. She went to a different doctor, who gave her Prednisone. Clark's symptoms grew, and she felt like a tight swimming cap was squeezing her head. She couldn't drive because a condition called oscillopsia caused her to see stationary objects as moving.
"I felt sensations of bugs crawling all over my skin," she said. In hindsight, Clark realized the Prednisone shut down her immune system and "allowed the Lyme to grow rampant."
Clark made more appointments with different doctors, and was told she had vertigo. On Mother's Day in 2009, "My whole left side of my head was numb," Clark said. A CAT scan at the emergency room revealed Clark had fluid in the left ear and doctors said she had an ear infection in the mastoid bone, behind her earlobe.
Antibiotics took care of the numbness, but Clark didn't have an ear infection.
She had Lyme-induced encephalitis, which Clark eventually learned from the "Lyme literate" doctor – someone who understands the complexities of the disease and provides more in-depth treatment – who diagnosed her with Lyme disease.
Before the Lyme diagnosis, though, Clark was diagnosed with neuropathy, and had tests performed on her brain stem. She asked the neurologist to add a Lyme disease test to the battery of tests he was running. "He said, 'Well, we don't have Lyme disease in North Carolina.'"
That's a common belief by the state's residents and physicians alike, said Tammy Worrell, chief clinician at Piedmont Wellness Center in Greensboro, who is Lyme literate and diagnoses three to five patients a week with the disease.
"Even those specializing in infectious disease will question the results of an accurate diagnostic Lyme disease test when it comes back positive. This is because they have been told repeatedly that Lyme is not found in North Carolina," she said in a statement given to the Times-News.
That's what Clark was told, even though part of the Lyme test came back positive. She was given 30 days of Doxycycline and referred to an infectious diseases specialist in Burlington. "He told me, 'If you had a big swollen red joint, or you had a bullseye rash, I would diagnose you. But you don't,'" Clark said.
Finally, Clark had another Lyme test, which confirmed her suspicions. In Sept. 2009, she started going to South Carolina to see a Lyme specialist, Dr. Joseph Jemsek, who has since relocated to the Washington, D.C. area.
Clark also sees Worrell for thyroid and hormone treatments, and since Worrell is Lyme literate, Clark said Worrell has played a big role in supporting her through her treatment from Jemsek.
"Through the grace of God and the extraordinary care from Dr. Jemsek and Tammy Worrell, I am almost back to normal – 90 percent well," said Clark. "I was lucky to go only five months. People go years, and they go blind."
"Lyme is the great imitator," since it's plethora of symptoms can mimic other diseases, said Clark.
Some of her friends and fellow Lyme survivors have been misdiagnosed with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease and sometimes even autism.
Worrell tests for the disease with the Lyme Western Blot, what she calls "the gold standard diagnostic." Most physicians will use an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Lyme test, which is only 50 percent accurate, she said. The ELISA Lyme test checks for antibodies the patient's body is making against the spirochete bacteria.
However, if tested too soon, the ELISA test may come back negative because the body hasn't had a chance to produce enough antibodies, and if a dormant case is tested, the body may no longer be making the antibodies, said Clark.
The Western Blot is more sensitive because it tests for specific proteins on the surface of a Lyme spirochete – the bacteria that causes Lyme disease, said Worrell.
The problem of Lyme test inaccuracies prompted Attorney Susan R. Green, who represents Jemsek and a number of other Lyme literate physicians, to help draft a Virginia bill that has since become law, called the Lyme Disease Testing Information Disclosure Act of 2013.
According to the Virginia law, the information given out to patients who order Lyme disease lab tests includes the warning of false negatives and states: "If you are tested for Lyme disease, and the results are negative, this does not necessarily mean you do not have Lyme disease. If you continue to experience symptoms, you should contact your health care provider about the appropriateness of retesting or additional treatment."
Before it was signed into law by Virginia's Gov. Bob McDonnell in March, the bill was sponsored by the National Capital Lyme Disease Association (NatCapLyme), which has a Central North Carolina Chapter near Charlotte.
Clark has recently joined the chapter, shares information with the N.C. Lyme Advocacy group, meets with the Triangle Lyme Disease Support Group, and is thinking of starting a local Lyme disease awareness group in Burlington or Greensboro
Clark encourages anyone who suspects he or she has Lyme disease, or has symptoms of another disease that Lyme mimics, to find a Lyme literate physician for a diagnosis, and seek any extensive treatment from a doctor who's a member of the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS).
"Education is the key," said Clark. "If I had given up, I'd be dead by now. I kept digging."
John McLean, chairman of the Central North Carolina Chapter of NatCapLyme
- North Carolina now has three counties that have been declared "CDC endemic," or two U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-confirmed cases, for Lyme disease: Wake, Guilford and Haywood counties.
- There are also seven pending counties, with one CDC-confirmed case, in North Carolina: Cleveland, Gates, Perquimans, Pitt, Wilkes, Wilson and Carteret counties.
Susan R. Green, attorney representing Dr. Joseph Jemsek and other Lyme literate physicians
- Many patients with Lyme disease present early on with flu-like symptoms.
- As the disease progresses, it can manifest in different ways with different people. Lyme disease can also move into the central nervous system and impact the brain.
Tammy Worrell, chief clinician at Piedmont Wellness Center in Greensboro
- Check your body and your animals' bodies for ticks after being in a situation where you or the animals are exposed to woods or brush.
- If you find a tick attached to your body, save it by taping it onto a note card and write down the date it was removed – You must seek treatment within 48 to 72 hours for the antibiotic Doxycycline to treat or prevent Lyme quickly.

Detroit, MI (SportsNetwork.com) - Helio Castroneves won the pole position for the first race in the IndyCar Series doubleheader weekend in Detroit, while Indianapolis 500 champion Ryan Hunter-Reay qualified 21st after brushing the wall in Saturday morning's qualifying session.
Castroneves made a lap around Detroit's Belle Isle Park in 1 minute, 17.5362 second during the "Fast Six" final round of qualifying to earn the top starting position for the 70-lap race on Saturday afternoon (3:30 p.m. ET). It was the 39th career IndyCar pole win for Castroneves, including his third in Detroit. The Team Penske driver also became the sixth different pole winner in as many races this season.
Six days ago, Castroneves finished only 0.06 seconds behind Hunter-Reay in the Indy 500. Castroneves had the fastest laps in all three rounds of qualifying for the first Detroit race.
"The car is spectacular," Castroneves said. "The car that we had at Indy was amazing. It feels like the momentum carried right now to what we wanted."
Castroneves won back-to-back races in Detroit from 2000-01 when the event here was sanctioned by CART. The Brazilian has not scored a victory in IndyCar since June 2013 at Texas (17 races ago).
The left-rear of Hunter-Reay's No. 28 Andretti Autosport car made contact with the wall during his second lap in Q1. He sustained damage to his car and had to return to the pits for repairs. Hunter-Reay took over the lead in the IndyCar point standings with his Indy 500 victory. He currently holds a 40- point advantage over second-place Will Power, who qualified 16th after he also hit the wall during his qualifying run.
"I was pushing in qualifying, and the left-rear snapped on me, just popped the wall," Hunter-Reay said. "I bent the left-rear. I was just out there trying to make it through and just overstepped a little bit on the slick street circuit."
James Hinchcliffe will start alongside Castroneves on the front row after posting a lap in 1:17.9788. Rookie Jack Hawksworth qualified third, while Mike Conway, who won the first race in last year's doubleheader in Detroit, took the fourth spot. Ryan Briscoe was fifth and Juan Pablo Montoya sixth.
During the second group in Q1, Simon Pagenaud received a penalty for interference with Montoya. Pagenaud, whose maiden IndyCar win came in last year's second race in Detroit, had his two quickest laps invalidated, which prevented him from advancing into Q2.
Pagenaud's No. 77 Schmidt Peterson Hamilton Motorsports team was furious with the penalty and disputed it with IndyCar race officials. The penalty was not overturned. He will start 17th.

TRAINING:I start with grappling at Alliance MMA at 10:30am, then come back at 6pm for a cardio workout, then it's pads and striking mitts before going home to rest.
When and why did you start training for fighting? I started Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu first, then when I got my black belt I moved to Philadelphia to teach and compete in Jiu-Jitsu here and get into MMA too because it was already big here. My biggest motivation was to see Jiu-Jitsu guys doing very good in their fights using Jiu-Jitsu, and it was also another way to make a living in fighting. I started training MMA at Daddis fight camps with coach Brad Daddis, and my debut was in New Jersey in the summer of 2007.

What do diabetes medicines do?
Over time, high levels of blood glucose, also called blood sugar, can cause health problems. These problems include heart disease, heart attacks, strokes, kidney disease, nerve damage, digestive problems, eye disease, and tooth and gum problems. You can help prevent health problems by keeping your blood glucose levels on target.
Everyone with diabetes needs to choose foods wisely and be physically active. If you can't reach your target blood glucose levels with wise food choices and physical activity, you may need diabetes medicines. The kind of medicine you take depends on your type of diabetes, your schedule, and your other health conditions.
Diabetes medicines help keep your blood glucose in your target range. The target range is suggested by diabetes experts and your doctor or diabetes educator. See below for more information about target levels for good health.
What targets are recommended for blood glucose levels?
The National Diabetes Education Program uses blood glucose targets set by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) for most people with diabetes. To learn your daily blood glucose numbers, you'll check your blood glucose levels on your own using a blood glucose meter.
|Target blood glucose levels for most people with diabetes
|My targets
|Before meals
|70 to 130 mg/dL*
|1 to 2 hours after the start of a meal
|Less than 180 mg/dL
* Milligrams per deciliter.
Also, you should ask your doctor for a blood test called the A1C at least twice a year. The A1C will give you your average blood glucose for the past 3 months.
|Target A1C result for people with diabetes
|My targets
|Less than 7 percent
Your personal A1C goal might be higher or lower than 7 percent. Keeping your A1C as close to normal as possible——below 6 percent without having frequent low blood glucose—can help prevent long-term diabetes problems. Doctors might recommend other goals for very young children, older people, people with other health problems, or those who often have low blood glucose.
Talk with your doctor or diabetes educator about whether the target blood glucose levels and A1C result listed in the charts above are best for you. Write your own target levels in the charts. Both ways of checking your blood glucose levels are important.
If your blood glucose levels are not on target, you might need a change in how you take care of your diabetes. The results of your A1C test and your daily blood glucose checks can help you and your doctor make decisions about
- what you eat
- when you eat
- how much you eat
- what kind of exercise you do
- how much exercise you do
- the type of diabetes medicines you take
- the amount of diabetes medicines you take
What happens to blood glucose levels in people with diabetes?
Blood glucose levels go up and down throughout the day and night in people with diabetes. High blood glucose levels over time can result in heart disease and other health problems. Low blood glucose levels can make you feel shaky or pass out. But you can learn how to make sure your blood glucose levels stay on target—not too high and not too low.
What makes blood glucose levels go too high?
Your blood glucose levels can go too high if
- you eat more than usual
- you're not physically active
- you're not taking enough diabetes medicine
- you're sick or under stress
- you exercise when your blood glucose level is already high
What makes blood glucose levels go too low?
Your blood glucose levels can go too low if
- you eat less than usual
- you miss a meal or snack or eat later than usual
- you're more active than usual
- you drink alcoholic beverages on an empty stomach
Some diabetes medicines can also lower your blood glucose too much. Ask your doctor whether your diabetes medicines can cause low blood glucose. See Insert N for information about low blood glucose.
Medicines for My Diabetes
Ask your doctor what type of diabetes you have.
I have
- type 1 diabetes
- type 2 diabetes
- gestational diabetes
- another type of diabetes: ____________________
Medicines for Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes, once called juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, is usually first found in children, teenagers, or young adults. If you have type 1 diabetes, you must take insulin because your body no longer makes it. You also might need to take other types of diabetes medicines that work with insulin.
Medicines for Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes, once called adult-onset diabetes or noninsulin-dependent diabetes, is the most common form of diabetes. It can start when the body doesn't use insulin as it should, a condition called insulin resistance. If the body can't keep up with the need for insulin, you may need diabetes medicines. Many choices are available. Your doctor might prescribe two or more medicines. The ADA recommends that most people start with metformin, a kind of diabetes pill.
Medicines for Gestational Diabetes
Gestational diabetes is diabetes that occurs for the first time during pregnancy. The hormones of pregnancy or a shortage of insulin can cause gestational diabetes. Most women with gestational diabetes control it with meal planning and physical activity. But some women need insulin to reach their target blood glucose levels.
Medicines for Other Types of Diabetes
If you have one of the rare forms of diabetes, such as diabetes caused by other medicines or monogenic diabetes, talk with your doctor about what kind of diabetes medicine would be best for you.
Types of Diabetes Medicines
Diabetes medicines come in several forms.
If your body no longer makes enough insulin, you'll need to take it. Insulin is used for all types of diabetes. Your doctor can help you decide which way of taking insulin is best for you.
Taking injections. You'll give yourself shots using a needle and syringe. The syringe is a hollow tube with a plunger. You will put your dose of insulin into the tube. Some people use an insulin pen, which looks like a pen but has a needle for its point.
Using an insulin pump. An insulin pump is a small machine about the size of a cell phone, worn outside of your body on a belt or in a pocket or pouch. The pump connects to a small plastic tube and a very small needle. The needle is inserted under the skin and stays in for several days. Insulin is pumped from the machine through the tube into your body.
Using an insulin jet injector. The jet injector, which looks like a large pen, sends a fine spray of insulin through the skin with high-pressure air instead of a needle.
Using an insulin infuser. A small tube is inserted just beneath the skin and remains in place for several days. Insulin is injected into the end of the tube instead of through the skin.
What does insulin do?
Insulin helps keep blood glucose levels on target by moving glucose from the blood into your body's cells. Your cells then use glucose for energy. In people who don't have diabetes, the body makes the right amount of insulin on its own. But when you have diabetes, you and your doctor must decide how much insulin you need throughout the day and night.
What are the possible side effects of insulin?
Possible side effects include
- low blood glucose (for more information, see Insert N)
- weight gain
How and when should I take my insulin?
Your plan for taking insulin will depend on your daily routine and your type of insulin. Some people with diabetes who use insulin need to take it two, three, or four times a day to reach their blood glucose targets. Others can take a single shot. Your doctor or diabetes educator will help you learn how and when to give yourself insulin.
Types of Insulin
Each type of insulin works at a different speed. For example, rapid-acting insulin starts to work right after you take it. Long-acting insulin works for many hours. Most people need two or more types of insulin to reach their blood glucose targets.
Look at the list of types of insulin on Insert C. Check off the names of the kinds of insulin you take. Then print and write the names of your insulins under My Insulins in the chart on Insert A.
Diabetes Pills
Along with meal planning and physical activity, diabetes pills help people with type 2 diabetes or gestational diabetes keep their blood glucose levels on target. Several kinds of pills are available. Each works in a different way. Many people take two or three kinds of pills. Some people take combination pills. Combination pills contain two kinds of diabetes medicine in one tablet. Some people take pills and insulin.
Your doctor may ask you to try one kind of pill. If it doesn't help you reach your blood glucose targets, your doctor may ask you to
- take more of the same pill
- add another kind of pill
- change to another type of pill
- start taking insulin
- start taking another injected medicine
If your doctor suggests that you take insulin or another injected medicine, it doesn't mean your diabetes is getting worse. Instead, it means you need insulin or another type of medicine to reach your blood glucose targets. Everyone is different. What works best for you depends on your usual daily routine, eating habits, and activities, and your other health conditions.
For information about the different kinds of pills and what they do, see the inserts. You'll see the brand name and the generic name—the scientific name—for each medicine. Find your diabetes pills and check off the names. Then print and write the names of your diabetes pills under My Pills and Injected Medicines in the chart on Insert A.
Injections Other Than Insulin
In addition to insulin, two other types of injected medicines are now available. Both work with insulin—either the body's own or injected—to help keep your blood glucose from going too high after you eat. Neither is a substitute for insulin.
See the cards in the pocket of this booklet for more information about these injected medicines. Check off the kinds you take. Then write the names of your injected medicines under My Pills and Injected Medicines in the chart on Insert A.
What do I need to know about side effects of medicines?
A side effect is an unwanted problem caused by a medicine. For example, some diabetes medicines can cause nausea or an upset stomach when you first start taking them. Before you start a new medicine, ask your doctor about possible side effects and how you can avoid them. If the side effects of your medicine bother you, tell your doctor.

RYAN VREDE watched Australia stutter to an uninspiring 21-18 victory over Wales in the World Cup bronze medal match at Eden Park.
Naturally this contest lacked the intensity and compelling appeal of a match where the result was meaningful. Consequently it descended into a structureless, error-strewn and utterly unpalatable sideshow to Sunday's final.
It would have been more bearable if either side had earned the right to play expansively by showing some appreciation for building a platform. Instead the strike runners in either pack were rarely deployed often enough to achieve this, with the showmen in the back division asked to enthral and entertain the 60 000 poor souls who paid to be punished.
Handling errors abound and Australia's lethargy in sending cleaners into rucks often resulted in turnovers in the Welsh 22m. Their troubles were compounded and cause undermined when key play makers Kurtley Beale and Quade Cooper were injured before 25 minutes had elapsed. The latter, did, however, craft a try for Berrick Barnes with a deft offload, before his exit.
Australia looked a better side than the impotent Welsh, whose struggles were rooted in their inability to impose themselves at the gainline. They also missed suspended captain Sam Warburton's ability to stifle the opposition's attacking flow through his breakdown work. Indeed Warren Gatland's side played with the verve, accuracy and innovation that suggested they'd had spent their week working their way through Auckland's pubs and nightclubs.
Wales missed three goalkicks but still trailed by just four points (7-3) with with 30 minutes to play, before scoring courtesy of a clear forward pass. On the evidence of that incorrect decision, it appeared referee Wayne Barnes and his assistant had been lulled into a slumber themselves.
James O'Connor kicked two penalties to regain the lead for the Wallabies before Barnes took the Wallabies eight points ahead with a drop goal. Stephen Jones set up a tense final 10 minutes with a three pointer.
Adam Ashley-Cooper should have sealed the result with six minutes to play, but he grassed the ball in a tackle a metre for the goal line. Ben McCalman, however, made no mistake shortly thereafter. Wales would score after the siren had sounded, but were undeserving of victory.
The Wallabies thus finish in third place, which is much like almost bagging the hottest girl at the party, then having to settle for her ugly friend.

Engadget - Hands-on/roadtest with the TomTom GO 720
Oct 04 2007 -
Tech blog Engadget recently took the TomTom GO 720 for an extensive road trip and had some great things to report. Reviewer Joshua Topolsky wrote, "...TomTom's slickly designed and elegantly executed 720 is a seriously welcome addition to our navigational world, and frankly, we'll be sad to see the little guy go."
In their roadtest, Engadget praised numerous aspects of GO 720:
"Getting around the GUI was pretty much a snap, and it took only a few minutes to power on, get a signal, and plot our first course. Navigating through the menus with a finger is totally comfortable, as all of the icons are large enough even for someone with the bear-like mitts of your narrator."
"The provided maps are quite impressive. Even when we took the car off to some serious backwoods, the 720 kept chugging along, finding some impressively obscure trails for us to motor across."
"TomTom has been blazing an increasingly popular path (no pun intended) in the GPS world for some time now, and it's easy to see why. The GO 720 is a smartly designed, simple to understand, and feature-rich navigation tool which could appeal as easily to gadget-mavens as much as it would to families needing some guidance for roadtrips."

As summer approaches, many of us are looking forward to exciting summer plans with family and friends. Potential adventures could include touring exotic locations, exploring new cities, or enjoying the beautiful outdoors in the Pacific Northwest. No matter what your chosen activities, most of us will be on our feet much more during the next few months enjoying the sunny weather. We can expect that our feet will be uncomfortable at times, but dealing with feet that continually hurt may affect those summer plans.
Here are some summer tips to keep your feet in tip top shape:

I love my navigaotor but one part of it that I do not like is the bumper. The foam/padding in our bumper bar fell apart after only a month. It is actually just cheap packing styrofoam which breaks very easily. So now our foam is in pieces and the hard steel rod is exposed in parts. They should just make it from the material as per the handle but I guess it's a cost thing. It does annoy me that it is not constructed of a more durable material.

I've had the phil and teds double stroller for years. The original bumper broke when the dog saw a rabbit and a fiasco ensued. No one was hurt but bumper bar needed to be replaced. The original was a metal bar and very strong. The new replacement is plastic and doesn't even seem as close to as strong. Will keep u updated to let u know how long it lasts. This why I only gave it 3 stars.

Midwest Living Review
This home decor shop offers classy furniture, accessories and holiday items in Nebraska City's main shopping district.
This shop is probably the classiest of the independent stores in Nebraska City's main shopping district, with two floors of home decor and gift items. Part of the store is arranged in room vignettes, so you can see just how cute those lamps and throw pillows will look in a living room setting. The store staff is helpful yet unobtrusive. Nice touches include a kids coloring station tucked in the rear of the store. This is the type of place you visit on a weekend getaway, and then regret what you didn't buy once you get home.

VIRGINIA BEACH - Dr. Deepak Talreja is interested in learning which of four diets is best for your heart health.
He's partnering with Liposcience Lab of Richmond to test markers that have never been tested. He's looking at how insulin levels affect cholesterol and how hormones induced by meat intake impact your heart's ability to manage inflammation.
He needs 400 people between ages 35 and 85 to diet for two months and be monitored every week through dietary logs.
The diets analyzed will be the Meditteranean Diet, the Paleolithic Diet, the Vegetarian Diet and the DASH Diet.
Dr. Talreja says, 'We've argued about this for decades and still there's no clarity on which diet is the best.'
They will enroll participants through this email address: email@example.com from now until September 2.
Your first blood work will be drawn on September 7th.

I have been thinking of ways of saving money on the phone and internet bill. A local phone account is about $22 not including those annoying regulatory fees and taxes. A 3 Mbps Internet is about $38. Add long distance and the phone portion jumps to around $40.
If I replace the phone with a VOIP device like OOMA, the phone portion drops to around $5 per month, but my internet would remain the same or increase. To take a look at the possibilities:
AT&T DSL 3 Mbps = $43 per month ($38 with phone line)
Comcast Cable 3 Mbps = $40 per month ($30 with cable)
Basically, DSL is cheaper with a phone line. Cable drops to $30 if you also have cable. I could go with a slower connection. A 1.5 mbps is around $38 and a 765kps is about $30. However, I feel 1.5 is a bit too slow. Faster is always better, but 3 Mbps appears to be fast enough for our needs.
AT&T and Comcast both offer VOIP packages that have cheap introductory rate, but then goes up after 12 months. You can game them by threatening to leave every year, but frankly, I don't really have time to bargin every year.
What are fellow bogleheads doing for internet and phone.

The On-Call Professional
Despite the fear of not being able to support his family, Jonathan Sisco made a life-changing decision of creating his very own company after working for one that failed to recognized his worth. It was probably the best decision he had ever made.
...the most effective strategy to keep customers satisfied with my services, I would say, is to listen to what the customers want done, explain to them exactly what will be done from start to finish, and at the end of the job, let them know that I stand behind my work...
Jonathan makes it a point that he is only a phone call away from his clients whenever they need something from him. His dedication to his customers did pay off, and his stellar reviews tell it all. One of his most noteworthy projects includes winning over a house painting job against various big companies. He won the bid because the client was impressed by his reviews and ratings.
I would start out by telling them to first look at all my reviews from recent customers, and booking with me, so they know they will get their job done right, the first time. That's why here at Sisco's Home Improvement, "One call does it all".
Consider Jonathan for your home improvement projects!

Great home appliances are worth their weight in gold -- and not easily forgotten. We rely on them for convenience and peace of mind. And when it comes to performance and durability, the Kenmore name delivers. It's amazing to think of how far the brand -- which is the name of Sears' appliance line -- has come: the company's first appliance, a washer, didn't even appear in Sears' catalog when it was introduced in the 1920s. Today, nearly a third of American homes has at least one Kenmore appliance purchased from a Sears store. From blenders to cooktops to washers and dryers -- even washer dryer combos -- if your appliance isn't working like it should, we can help you replace the defective, damaged, or missing Kenmore part.

American horses have quite literally dodged a bullet as a meat processing plant in Iowa has officially withdrawn plans to start slaughtering horses for human consumption.
While the struggle to prevent U.S. horse slaughter is far from over, this announcement is another victory resulting from a string of efforts by the ASPCA and other national and local organizations to ensure that the American people's voices are heard: Opposition to horse slaughter for human consumption is broad and deep across every demographic.
A plant in New Mexico has also received a grant of inspection to slaughter horses, but it is on hold pending litigation and faces strong opposition from the state's attorney general and governor. This means we have time to stop horse slaughter before it starts, and we implore you to join us today by urging your members of Congress to cosponsor the SAFE (Safeguard American Food Exports) Act.
Championed by Senators Mary Landrieu (D-LA) and Lindsay Graham (R-SC) and Representatives Patrick Meehan (R-PA) and Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), to the SAFE Act would prevent the slaughter of American horses as well as their transport to other countries for this purpose.
We have been simultaneously pressing for protections in the FY2014 Agriculture Appropriations bill to prevent tax dollars from being spent on inspections for these plants—no inspections would amount to a de facto ban on horse slaughter on U.S. soil. We must now ensure this language remains in the final version, which Congress is likely to take up next month when it returns from recess.
We know that slaughter is no answer to the problem of horse neglect—that is a hollow argument used by the industry to cover up its greed and abuses (and we are working with a vast network of horse rescues all over the country to provide at-risk horses with safe havens from commercial slaughter). Every step we take together brings us closer to a real and lasting victory for horses! Please take action now!
Sorry if wrong place to post but emerg!!
Video of bear in my neighborhood, now they are gong to kill, no relocate, but kill
second time in month Florida Wildlife FWC kills to eleviate problem on non aggressive confrontation.
Please help
Best news of the day...lasting implications. Thank you for the injunction against NM processing plant. I know it was costly and draining but it was the only right thing to do. I'm a very grateful supporter.
This is part of the problem, but how we deal with the transport of horses from the US to Mexico and Canada for slaughter? Does this solve anything?
I disagree, Watch a video on you tube of how horses exported to MEXICO are slaughtered, horses being stabbed to death until they bleed out! I travel extensively all over the southern US. The problem of starving and neglected horses is HUGE! So the argument is it's better to let a horse stand in a pasture suffering from starvation than having an affordable option as some people desperately need, to take a old sick horse to a slaughter house in the USA not MEXICO where the horse can be humanely put down?! Makes no sense to me and I own horses! Upkeep is EXPENSIVE horses are being turned loose in Texas and Oklahoma because the value of equines has dropped to nothing! Domesticated horses can't survive on their own, they starve or worse yet get hit by a car. The slaughterhouses should be brought back it has nothing to do with cruelty. The population of neglected and unwanted horses will continue to rise if we don't bring slaughter back to the US.
You're kidding right? If you think horses are "humanely" put down in the US vs Mexico that is sheer ignorance. I have horses as well and the problem lies in over-breeding. Anyone releasing horses because of cost should be prosecuted. When you purchase this pet you are taking on the responsibility of their life! If your view is to slaughter them because they're expensive then we should do the same for all unwanted pets and/or children, they are expensive too! I'm horrified!
horses are sweet and loving animals and shouldn't be treated like this!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sunday I was at my grandparents and i went down the road to see the pony that lives down there i asked if i could go see it but they said no because there is a dead horse in with it i reported them to the sheriff when i got home and they took care of the problem (i hope)

DALLAS Every day on the second floor of the Simmons Cancer Center at UT Southwestern in Dallas, someone learns life will change.
"One day at a time," said Karen Permetti. "One treatment at a time."
Permetti is the spokeswoman for Lewisville ISD, but she's also a wife and mother of two children.
Her visit to the center for a third round of chemotherapy offers an odd serenity.
The nurses and their hands are very familiar.
"It's been easier," Permetti said. "People are not strangers. You have relationships with them, and you feel you are in good hands."
She isn't scared. The same staff also helped one of her family members deal with cancer her mother.
"You have these people who cared for your mom, and they are caring for me," she said. "I know them; I know them by name."
Permetti was diagnosed last June with colorectal cancer... two weeks after her mother had a double mastectomy.
Dianne Hastings was diagnosed with breast cancer on December 31, 2011. Both cancers came close to Stage IV, the most serious level.
Now, both mom and daughter are leaning on each other as they cope with cancer.
"Why couldn't it have been just a second cancer basically for me?" asked Dianne Hastings. "I have two grandsons, and they need their mom."
Permetti was there for her mom. Now, mom is by her side.
"It was very difficult the first time to walk back in here, because it brought back all of the memories for me when I was so very sick," Hastings conceded. "But Karen is my daughter, and I will be here."
Mom has been there on days when her own fight has been too much. She never complained, and always sacrificed.
"At times, she fed me when I couldn't feed myself... even though she was off the heels of radiation," Permetti said. "She never talks of how tired she was. She would just hold my hand when I needed to."
It's a careful balancing act. Cancer in the same family is a challenge. Their shared journey was one they didn't count on, but it strengthened their bond.
"I couldn't have done this without her; and because of her, I have been able to face cancer with my head held high," Permetti said.
For Hastings, helping her daughter has been an unexpected gift.
"It's a blessing for me to hear that I basically paved the way for her, for her treatment to be easier for her," she said.
The mom and daughter cancers are unrelated, and both women have different oncologists. But the goal remains the same.
"My ultimate goal is for both of us to be healed from this cancer and move on and be a positive impact for our families and others," Hastings said.
Time away with mom would be fun, too.
"I hope my mom and I can take a big, nice girl's trip," said Permetti. "Just take a vacation from it all... away from cancer."
Permetti and her mom have a very good prognosis.
Both women plan to advocate for more cancer research dollars. Hastings was in Austin Tuesday meeting with state legislators to discuss possible avenues to increase awareness and funding.

Before you build a fence, know what you want
POSTED: 8:16 AM Oct 10 2013 UPDATED: 8:59 AM Oct 25 2013
Before building a fence in your yard, the first step is to decide what function you want the fence to serve.
If you want your fence to just be functional, such as to keep a pet in the yard, then you might want to consider a chain-link fence.
If you want a quaint fence that's meant more for decoration, then you might want to consider a white-picket fence.
If you are looking for privacy, then you want to look at tall, solid fence options.
Some people might want a combination of all of the above. For each case, when choosing the type of fence and materials make sure you are considering all of your needs.
