Video: Barcelona's Under-10s put Arsenal to shame
FC Barcelona's youth academy is famous for producing the likes of Lionel Messi, Xavi and Andres Iniesta, and it looks like the production line isn't in danger of stopping any time soon. Check out this incredible video of Barca's Benjamin A (Under-10s) side doing what Arsenal's seniors can't, by patiently passing the ball around then actually applying the finishing touch at the end. At Barcelona they say the kids in the academy have 'Barca DNA'. Arsenal fans will hope their own youth players don't have Arsenal DNA, judging by recent performances.

The Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited launched video telephony services across Tamil Nadu on Friday to mark the World Telecommunication and Information Society Day (WTISD), which falls on May 17.
Addressing a press conference here, A. Shajahan, Principal General Manager, BSNL Coimbatore, said that through the Video and Voice on Broadband (VVoBB) service, BSNL customers can have a face-to-face interaction at high quality compared to similar services available online.
As it can accommodate up to five persons, the VVoBB would provide high quality resolution for video conference. Nine persons can come on the same video-conference, but the images of only five will be displayed, he said.
Unlike other similar services, the VVoBB does not require a desktop computer or laptop. This service could also be used to perform video-surveillance.
While broadband customers can immediately avail this service, he said that a 'port' would have to be installed for others.
While aimed primarily at business, both private and public sector units, he said that this service will also provide a boost to telemedicine and tele-education services.
Mr. Shajahan said that new business plans of the BSNL include launching high speed 'cypher cafes,' renting out its premises for other business concerns such as ATMs and providing customised in-plant training to engineering college students.
The price of the VVoBB telephone started from around Rs.15.000 for a four-inch screen to Rs. 4 lakh for a 22-inch screen. The call charge would be Rs. 2.50 per minute.
The present position of the BSNL in Coimbatore was 2.25 lakh landline connections, of whom 69.618 had broadband. They were offered speeds ranging from 16 to 24 mbps.
Further information about this service could be obtained from S. Muthukumar, Assistant General Manager (Enterprise Business), mobile: 94861 01049, landline: (0422) 244 9400.

Mine (I have two mounted side by side), don't use enough juice, especially with my solar panels, to make it work cutting them off.
Me too, first thing I turn on when I get onboard, last thing I turn off when I leave for home.
The icon and course is my 'minder' in case I get distracted underway as well as my primary navigation tool. It's an important anchoring tool, helping place the actual drop and then it paints a picture of the boats swing alerting me to dragging, tide change, wind change. It's an amazing anchoring tool.
It gives me instant updates during the night to confer with visual bearings, turned to low screen light, it's a good night light in the cabin.
Now we have two onboard(tablet), it's even better to always have a CP screen nearby, like in your berth.
And it's the only ship clock we have, logs miles during the day or over a season. I don't consider the power usage, it's a small draw CP and the tablet, even less.

BARBOURVILLE — Anthony Nolan tried a calm approach in the first of two second quarter timeouts as Barbourville began a 14-0 run that put his Lady Bears down by seven and in position for what could have been the biggest upset in girls 13th Region basketball in 2014
In his second timeout three minutes later, Nolan wasn't nearly so nice.
The Lady Bears seemed to respond with eight straight points to pull within one at halftime, then built off the momentum in the second half on the way to a 63-53 victory.
"We're glad to get this one in," Harlan County coach Anthony Nolan said. "We haven't been able to be in our regular routine, not playing or even practicing in our gym for several days (due to heating problems at the school). We didn't play well early. We knew we'd be rusty and wouldn't play well on offense, but I wasn't pleased with our defense. We finally did a better job at the end. We missed a lot of easy shots early that made it look worse than it was."
Harlan County (15-4) won despite a 25-point outburst by 5-foot-10 senior forward Kara Erslan, who had four baskets in the second quarter as Barbourville took the lead and three more in the third as the Lady Tigers stayed within three going into the final period. Lauren Lee took over defensive responsibilities of Erslan late in the game and limited her to only one basket in the decisive fourth quarter.
"We did a little switching defensively. The coaches helped me with that," Nolan said. "(Erslan) was playing outside a lot, and Lauren did a real good job, even when she posted up. Our helpside defense wasn't good early, and we opened up too many driving lanes. They have a good, veteran team."
Senior guard Amber Mills added 15 points for the 9-19 Lady Tigers, hitting six of nine shots as she continually broke down the HCHS defense for layups in transition.
"We let them get by us in the gaps and didn't protect the lanes," Nolan said. "We work on that every day, containing the ball. We didn't communicate and let them attack the basket. We're just glad to get out of here with a win. It wasn't pretty. I hope we can get back in the gym and get ready for Whitley County."
With an all-senior starting lineup, Barbourville entered the season as the sixth-ranked team in the 13th Region but had been a disappointment to this point.
"I think we ran out of gas. Our depth got us at the end," Barbourville coach Andrea Hillard said. "I think finally we're starting to mesh a little better. I hope that's a trend coming down the stretch and we're able to start playing like we're capable of. I have five kids who can play, and I have some young kids coming along. I got some good minutes from seventh graders, and that's all I have on my bench."
The Lady Bears were led by senior guard Kaitlyn Stittums, with 17 points, and junior guard Bella Noe, with 15.
either team could build more than a three-point lead in a first quarter that featured two ties. Lee and Stittums each had two baskets for the Lady Bears, who take a 13-11 lead at the end of the period on two free throws by Massingill.
Baskets by Massingill and Stittums pushed Harlan County's advantage to six early in the second quarter before Barbourville reeled off 14 straight points. Kara Erslan scored nine points in the run as the Lady Tigers took a 25-21 lead.
The Lady Bears finally woke up after the second timeout and reeled off eight straight point as Lee hit a 3-pointer, Stittums completed a three-point play and Shannon Shackleford scored on a outback. Kara Erslan's basket put the Lady Tigers back on top, at 27-26, going into the break.
A 3-pointer by Kara Erslan briefly stretched the Barbourville lead to four, but HCHS reeled off six straight points on a basket by Brooklyn Massingill and two by Shannon Shackleford. Noe had two baskets in an 8-2 spurt that put the Lady Bears up by six. Barbourville battled back to within one on three occasions, but sophomore guard Lindsay Branson answered each time with baskets as HCHS took a 46-43 lead into the fourth quarter.
Noe and Stittums took over in the final period, continually working to the basket for short jumpers. The two combined for all five Harlan County baskets in the quarter as the lead grew to as many as 14 points.
Harlan County will face a tough test Friday on the road in a 6 p.m. game at Whitley County, the second ranked team in the 13th Region.
Led by a 14-point performance from eighth-grade guard Rebecca Middleton, Harlan County rolled to a 38-13 win in the junior varsity game. Breann Turner added six for the 7-1 Lady Bears, followed by Lindsay Branson with five, Sara Napier with four, Noah Canady with three and Macie Napier, Hannah Gaw and Kaitlin Evans with two each.
Whitney Brown led Barbourville with six points. Raegan Hubbard, Lucy Robinson and Kaylie Smith scored two each. Anna Daniel added one.

Is SLI in Linux worth it?
I have a GTX260 that I'm fairly happy with. I'm getting to the point where I'm considering an upgrade and I've never tried SLI before. Being a Linux user, I have next-to-zero interest in DX11 capabilities as everything here is OpenGL (or Wine-converted into OpenGL).
So I have a choice. I could spend £220-odd on a replacement card in the 4xx series or wait a while and do something similar with the 5xx series. Of course by then the ATI/AMD drivers might be good enough to consider switching. Or I could or spend £100 and get another GTX260 and put it in SLI with my current one.
Historically, I've noticed that SLI support in Linux is pretty dire. I've seen things that say you get perhaps 1fps improvement, sometimes even performance hits. It doesn't fill me with confidence... But before I say no to it completely, I'd like to know from anybody using SLI in Linux if things have improved and how good performance really is.
To complicate things slightly, I use Twinview and regularly use VDPAU. I'd need to keep doing so after the upgrade so if there are any usage notes on that, let me know please.
Re: Is SLI in Linux worth it?
Re: Is SLI in Linux worth it?
Thanks for the thorough answer.
Re: Is SLI in Linux worth it?
So you actually play Windows games under Wine? Incredible.
I'd go for GTX460 in your case - it's faster and cooler and I've heard that SLI doesn't actually work well under Linux because it's optimized only for few native Linux games like Quake 3.
Re: Is SLI in Linux worth it?
SLI doesn't really work all that well in windows, in linux it's a complete waste.
Here are a sample of benchmark scores single card 35 fps, 2 sli'd cards 40 fps.
Maybe Ati does multiple cards better but SLI is not worth the added cost and power requirements.
Instead of buying 2 $100 cards buy 1 $200 card. for example...
my next purchase will be for 1 card and one card only
Re: Is SLI in Linux worth it?
Re: Is SLI in Linux worth it?
At low resolutions games framerate is limited by CPU (and it's already very high) and only at higher resolutions where GPU is required to do more work, SLI really works.
You seem to misread and misunderstand their(=reviewers) conclusions.

|Don't expect more 'pond hockey' between Bruins and Lightning for Game 3
|05.19.11 at 1:19 pm ET
TAMPA — Steven Stamkos may only be 21 years old but he certainly can articulate like a crafty and well-versed veteran in the ways of winning playoff hockey.
He also proved Thursday morning in the hours before Game 3 at St. Pete Times Forum that he was playing close attention to what his coach was preaching and teaching during film analysis of the Game 2 loss to the Bruins Tuesday night at TD Garden.
After the game Tuesday, Guy Boucher spoke of how his team got into pond hockey and lost the race. He told his players in film study that he didn't want that to happen again, even if it means giving up some scoring chances that came from desperate hockey in the third period.
"I don't think for us there is a fine line," Stamkos said. "I think that line doesn't exist. We don't want to play that run-and-gun pond hockey. That's not our structure. That's not how we've won games this year. At the end of the day, we had a lot of scoring chances, probably moreso that any other game we've played, maybe all year, but we didn't win the game.

|Team psychologist Tim Thomas bends but doesn't break under pressure
|05.18.11 at 11:15 am ET
Tim Thomas had better games in these 2011 Stanley Cup playoffs than the one he played Tuesday night in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference final at TD Garden.
He allowed five goals on 41 shots on goal. He gave up a goal in the game's first 13 seconds and the last 6.5 seconds of the first period, allowing the Lightning to take a 2-1 lead to the dressing room in the first intermission. As a goalie, Thomas knows you have to be equal parts netminder and psychologist.
"Each time you get some odd goals like that, it can put you on your heels," Thomas said. "The human tendency is to tell yourself, 'Oh, just, it's not going to be our night.' The team didn't do that, and they fought back. They fought back after the first goal. We had really, a pretty good first period. And then we had another, second goal there at the end of the first period, which could deflate you. But being in the locker room between periods, we were never deflated.
"We're determined to stick with it and in the second period there, Tyler Seguin and Michael Ryder stepped up and got big goals for us. I've said it before, we know we have character. We're battle tested by now. But having said that, you have to keep stepping up every time you need to, and we found a way to do that."
After Seguin and Ryder put on a scoring display in the five-goal second period, it was up to Thomas and the Bruins to make a three-goal cushion hold. Thomas was – as they say – huge when he needed to be and made several spectacular saves in the second and third periods, helping the Bruins escape with a series-stabilizing 6-5 win.
Thomas' first huge save actually led to Seguin's first goal as he stopped Martin St. Louis 21 seconds into the second period. Then, he used his face mask in stopping Ryan Malone on a breakaway later in the period and that led to Seguin's second spectacular goal of the period just moments later as the Bruins took a 4-2 lead. Then, in the third period, with the Lightning on the verge of tying the game, Thomas used his right pad and skate to kick away a Vinny Lecavalier shot between the circles.
Ironically, it was a save that he didn't make where he showed how tough he could be as Dominic Moore shot went off his face and into the net, after his own defenseman crashed into him, knocking his mask off.
"I didn't know," Thomas said. "Dominic Moore was the guy in front of the net. I think what made my mask come off was Adam McQuaid was trying to get across the crease and we kind of ran into each other. I haven't seen the replay. I have been told the puck went off my head but I didn't even realize it. At that point I was trying to find it I think."
Thomas showed again Tuesday that you don't have to save every shot to make big saves.
"I think experience helps in those situations," Thomas said. "Just this year we were in a few games, I think we beat Philly 7-5 or something like that, and we had a similar game against Montreal. Experience helps you to learn that, each time a goal goes in, you've just got to put it behind you. You've got to start focusing on the next one. If you start thinking about the goals that just went in, it's going to lead to other goals, and it's not going to be helpful. With our big second period there, I knew we had a big lead going into the third period, and the plan wasn't to let them get close at all.
"But when it gets 6-4 and 6-5, when you're a younger goaltender, it might be hard for you to keep your focus. But I've been through enough situations similar to that. I was just trying to keep my focus, and when it got 6-5, do everything I possibly could to keep it from becoming 6-6."
|Claude Julien: 'Sloppy' Bruins were 'hanging on'
|at 1:36 am ET
While the Bruins were hanging on for dear life, coach Claude Julien admitted to feeling exactly was every Bruins fan was feeling watching the third period of Tuesday night's Game 2 win over the Lightning at TD Garden. The Bruins were lucky to get away with a 6-5 regulation win to even the Eastern Conference final at one game apiece.
"I don't think anybody in that dressing room is extremely happy with our game because we got sloppy at times," Julien said of his team's defense after building a 6-3 lead heading into the final period. "And we turned pucks over and weren't strong on in the third period. But there's no doubt we were hanging on. And thank God time was on our side and we came up with the win. So we need to regroup here, take the win for what it is in the playoffs, and know that we got to get better.
"When two teams start the series and they are two of the best defensive teams in the playoffs and then you see a game like this, I don't think anybody's happy. We want to score goals, there's no doubt there. But the way we've been giving up goals is not something that we're proud of right now. And we need to be better in regards to that."
Julien also hinted that the play of Tyler Seguin and Michael Ryder could coincide with the return of Patrice Bergeron in Game 3. Bergeron missed the first two games of the series with a mild concussion. Read the rest of this entry »
|Tyler Seguin is on the right end of the learning curve
|at 12:53 am ET
Following one of the most stunning playoff performances by a rookie in Bruins history, 19-year-old Tyler Seguin took it all in stride. Seguin, playing in just his second playoff game after the concussion to Patrice Bergeron at the end of the second round, took over and amazed the TD Garden crowd with a second period performance for the ages.
"It's definitely tough watching from above," Seguin said of his vantage point as a healthy scratch from the press box in the first two rounds. "I try to take everything in and learn as much as I can, but it's hard sitting there and not being able to help the boys. I wanted to take advantage of every opportunity I got."
After scoring a goal and an assist his first playoff opportunity in Game 1 Saturday night, Seguin took over in the second period with the Bruins down, 2-1. He scored the first of his two second-period goals 48 seconds in to tie the game. He would add another goal while setting up both of Michael Ryder's second-period tallies.
"I think it's just the learning curve," Seguin said. "It's been a whole learning curve all year. As the year went on, I've felt more confident and more poised. In big games, I always want to step up. Tonight, I had some lucky bounces, but I was trying to take advantage of all the opportunities and they were going in tonight."
And to think he was snubbed by the mighty Canadian World Junior team in 2010, presumably because the coaching and development staff didn't think he was ready to put his talent all together on the world stage. Read the rest of this entry »
|Nathan Horton on Patrice Bergeron: 'We obviously need him'
|05.16.11 at 6:05 pm ET
Nathan Horton wasn't pulling any punches about the need for discipline in Game 2 Tuesday night or the need for a healthy Patrice Bergeron in the Bruins lineup.
The first of those goals is completely under the Bruins' control. The second, not so much. And Horton and the Bruins know that.
'That's not our question [to answer]," Horton said Monday of whether he and the Bruins are expecting No. 37 to return healthy from a mild concussion in time for Tuesday. "It's nothing to do with us. It's how he feels. He was out there today but I don't think anyone knows exactly how he feels. Hopefully, he comes back sooner. We obviously need him. He's a great player and it's definitely nice for everyone to see him out there skating again.
'We had two days off and it's hard to come back just after that and get back in it. He hasn't skated or done too much for a while but he looked great out there today. As you can tell, he stays in really good shape. He's so fit and eats well and that's why he was so good coming back on the ice.'
As for the discipline, Horton knows he can't be wasting time letting checking line tough guy Dominik Moore frustrate him. Horton and Milan Lucic were tossed with 37 seconds to go Saturday night when they got into it with Moore and his linemates.
"He's not under my skin at all," Horton insisted Monday. "I just was trying to play physical and it just kind of happened. You try not to get frustrated but obviously, you see, some guys were frustrated on our team and that's not what we want. We want to stay away from that. When we play our game, play the way we want to play, that gets under the other team's skin and that's how we need to play from here on out.'
Tyler Seguin sounded a more optimistic – even positive – tone about Bergeron after watching him skate with the white sweater on during Monday's practice.
'It's very nice. Everyone feels good that he's making great strides and he looked pretty good out there to me so it's going to be great to have him back soon,' said Seguin, who still believes he can help the team in the playoffs, even if Bergeron returns to active duty.
'Definitely, I want to stay in the lineup and contribute but I'm getting ready for anything. I'm staying prepared and try not to think about it too much. I want to focus on my game because whenever the opportunity arises, I want to be right there to capitalize on it.'
Rich Peverley, who filled Bergeron's role on the No. 2 line Monday in practice, agreed with Seguin's assessment of Bergeron.
'He looked good," Peverley said. "He looked like himself. Hopefully, he's back soon.'
Bruins goalie Tim Thomas offered some perspective on losing Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals to the Lightning on Saturday night. On Monday, following the team's first full practice since falling behind in the series.
"You think about it but it's on the outside of your thinking," Thomas said when asked if he were nervous about Game 2 drawing closer on Tuesday night. "As the game draws closer, you think about it more. We had two days off so naturally, you're going to be thinking about the game more tonight than [Sunday].
"I think you should get mentally prepared. It can get all-consuming but I don't think really that's the right way to go. These hockey games are important, they're important to us, they're important to the city but to be realistic, it is just a game. You look around at what's going on in the world right now, Israel was attacked on numerous fronts yesterday. It can really make you put it in perspective."
The Bruins scored just once in the first 58 minutes of Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Lightning in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals.
On Monday morning, in the first full practice since, Claude Julien mixed up the lines a bit while Patrice Bergeron also returned.
The speedy Rich Peverley was moved up to the second line with Mark Recchi and Brad Marchand while Chris Kelly was dropped to the third line of Tyler Seguin and Michael Ryder.
Meanwhile, Milan Lucic had to take a momentary seat on the bench after taking a slap shot from Seguin on the right foot during pre-practice warmups.

I've never experienced the lynchings in Mississippi or Alabama
60 years removed from today yet more relevant than ever
I don't have to be that clever to realize that the hands of time
are creatively being pushed back to the times of despair for the darker ones
Our children are being stolen from us, their lives extinguished as if they are being teleported to another realm
As we weep over our children deaths, under tragic conditions that we are witnessing live!
Is it only I who notice that Southern Whites are lynching us with ammunition?
No ropes, No trees, just police officers bullets cutting through the Southern breeze
Strange fruit lying on urban streets
Their life force extinguished like leaves falling to the earth from a dying tree
Despite it all
We fight, unite, yell, scream, cry, ask God why
Protest, unrest, cursing, hearts bursting
Shoot me too, I am ready to die!
At least I will decide under what condition
No longer allowing the hands of policemen to casually suck the air out of my environment
We are here to save our children from the goblins who
use to come for them at night but now
extinguish their souls in broad daylight
For the stolen ones we are here ready to fight
For you.

180 degrees (ode to Oscar Grant)
It took 24 hours for Oscar to touch strangers lives as his life was about to be extinguished Fighting his demons off left and right all in order to make his mother, his ,daughter, his love proud How would he know that turning 180 degrees, he would face such head winds standing side by side with his friends as he beats back his demons as they confront him on the train as punches reign suppressing their attack He was just trying to make his way back.....home He was just trying to make his way back..... to his daughter He was just trying to make his way back..... to his mother How would he know that turning 180 degrees, he would face such head winds Serve and protect grabbed him, his friends, with wreckless abandonment but tonight the fight for his rights would end with his ultimate silence and the utterance of, Why did you shoot me... I have a daughter.... Why did you shoot me....I have a daughter....

So until this stop we will continue the fight. because he could not know that turning 180 degrees, he would face such head winds.

Tune-Up Café
Culinary crossroads follows its own path
By Ari LeVaux
The Tune-Up Café is where the cool people in Santa Fe go. Not the ones who honk their horns while almost running me over by the Plaza, but the kinds of folks who look like they would be my friends if I lived there. That's a good thing. Because when the small adobe restaurant is packed—as it often is—you're usually within three feet of multiple strangers, some of whom might be sharing your table.

Tune-Up is also where the tourists go, especially the ones who watch the Food Channel, which has taken a liking to the place. The "Triple D fans" (named after "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives") might not have the same hip-factor, but they're just as content to be there—even if they had to park their RVs around the corner.
The café is filled with a glow. People-friendly touches include kids' books, good music and lighting, and a long mirror that lets wall-facing diners feel like they're a part of the room. Meanwhile, the food manages to be a lot of things without following any one path. It's not a burger joint, but the burgers are good. It's not New Mexican, but Tune-Up serves chile rellenos and huevos rancheros and green chile. On paper, its most unique influence is from El Salvador, but you could eat there many times and not even notice.
Outside of my own kitchen, it's rare to find eggs that are so perfectly done.
Tune-Up's eclectic nature is a reflection of the influences behind it. Occupying the same Hickox adobe that used to house popular neighborhood restaurant Dave's Not Here, the café is a crossroads of the Santa Fe dining scene. The chef and co-owner, Jesus Rivera, was a longtime cook at Café Pasqual's. He and his business and life partner, pastry chef Charlotte Rivera, bounced around the Santa Fe restaurant scene for years before they started Tune-Up together.
This place is an embodiment of their histories and techniques. There are shades of Pasqual's Latin funkiness in the decor and dishes. Charlotte's native Louisiana shines through—in a swampy, voodoo way—via the dark wood and bright spirit. There are relatives in the kitchen from Jesus' home country, El Salvador.
Dishes like the Salvadoran tamale (wrapped in banana leaf) and pupusas share rarefied New Mexico air with Albuquerque's Pupuseria y Restaurant Salvadoreño. The huevos El Salvadoreños I ordered were a moist, fluffy pile of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and green onions. Outside of my own kitchen, it's rare to find eggs that are so perfectly done. The eggs came with fried plantain, refried beans, crema, corn tortillas and some pronounced cumin. Consider ordering a side of meat with this one.
The café's ingredients are procured with care, although the Tune-Up burger is carelessly labeled "local (no rBGH, no antibiotic)." Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone (that is, rBGH) is a genetically engineered hormone designed to boost milk production. It's not typically given to beef cows. The only exception is when someone makes meat out of spent dairy cows. ... Anyway, it came with garlic mayo, so I ordered it. Great burger.
A New York strip on the specials board, advertised as local and organic, was an absolutely amazing steak. I ordered it slightly more rare than I wanted, and it came out perfect, drenched in an herbed Zinfandel-shallot sauce that bridged the juicy steak and a side of garlic mashed potatoes. I would eat an old milk cow with that sauce.
The Tune-Up Café is an ace in the hole for Santa Fe restaurant recommendations, especially if you're planning a meal for picky eaters. With so much variety on the menu and skill in the kitchen, most anyone would be happy here. Except, perhaps, that fur coat in the BMW by the Plaza.

Insulin basics
More News from Rima T. Tan MD
popular .
Insulin is a hormone that maybe relatively or absolutely deficient in persons with diabetes. It is actually the most effective therapy for lowering one's blood sugar. Some persons with diabetes are wary of starting insulin therapy for a variety of reasons, which include the fear of needles and the misconception that initiating insulin therapy represents a personal failure or a more severe type of diabetes.
Starting insulin therapy does not necessarily mean failure. Type 2 diabetes is a progressive disease that over time causes the deterioration of the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas. That is why many people with diabetes will eventually need insulin therapy. When non-insulin options, such as lifestyle modification and oral medications, are no longer adequate to control blood glucose levels, insulin is the next step in the continuum of therapy for type 2 diabetes.
There are also situations when insulin treatment is needed only temporarily, such as during pregnancy, surgery and other acute medical conditions. As for persons with type 1 diabetes, insulin therapy is a must because it is required for their survival.
Good news
Insulin must be injected and cannot be taken as a pill because enzymes during digestion break insulin down and render it ineffective. The good news is that today, insulin needles are smaller and thinner than ever before, so that the injections are almost painless once the fear of needles are subdued.
For persons with type 2 diabetes, a physician's decision to prescribe insulin therapy is based on several factors, which include: how long the person has had diabetes; how high the blood glucose is; other complications present; other medications the person is taking, and his/her overall health.
There are different types of insulin depending on how quickly they work, when they peak and how long they last. Rapid-acting insulin analogs such as insulin lispro, insulin as part or insulin glulisine begin to work about 5 minutes after injection, peaks in about an hour, and continues to work for two to four hours. Regular human insulin usually reaches the bloodstream within 30 minutes after injection, peaks anywhere from two to three hours after injection, and is effective for approximately three to six hours.
Intermediate-acting human insulin generally reaches the bloodstream about two to four hours after injection, peaks 4 to 12 hours later and is effective for about 12 to 18 hours. There are also two long-acting insulin analogs: glargine and detemir. They both tend to lower glucose levels fairly evenly over a 24-hour period with less of a peak of action than the other types of insulin. There are also premixes of the different types of insulin available.
Some people with type 2 diabetes will need one or more injections per day along with diabetes pills. The decision as to the type of insulin and the frequency of injections will depend on a combination of factors, ideally decided upon by the physician, depending on the needs and also in agreement with the person with diabetes.
Insulin, when properly used in conjunction with lifestyle adjustments and other medications, can restore blood sugars to normal- or near-normal levels. Keeping blood sugar levels under control can definitely prevent or minimize complications, allowing persons with diabetes to lead fuller lives.

Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe may be thrown into the World Cup fold against Algeria on Friday.
England boss Fabio Capello has admitted he may make a change or two for the second group stage match following the 1-1 draw with the USA and has revealed that Defoe may come in to replace Emile Heskey.
He also stated that he had not yet made up his mind on who will take the gloves after Robert Green's howler that gifted USA their equaliser.
"I have to decide about two positions. The goalkeeper and the next forward. Heskey or Defoe," he said.
"Green made a big mistake but in the second half he played well."
Capello added further that midfielder Gareth Barry would definitely start against Algeria.

Okay, I've bit my tongue as long as I can hold out, but I have to reply now.Originally Posted by jjstafford
First, for those of you who don't know, I might be referred to as a Kodak "brat". My father worked for Kodak Canada for 36 years, retiring in 1984 when I was 28. Indirectly, I was fed, clothed, housed and educated with Kodak $ and Kodak knowledge for all of my formative years. My father and mother rely on a Kodak pension, which for the most part is generous, and flexible (i.e. the medical and dental benefits have for the most part continued to evolve as times have changed during my father's 20+ years of retirement). My Dad started out with Kodak at an entry level job, and left as a middle level manager.
From my perspective, Kodak was always fair to its employees, in fact reasonably generous. It continues to provide services to its retirees, even though its financial circumstances are clearly not what they used to be.
Kodak has always been a very big organization, and suffered some of the problems that go with that, but as far as I am aware there isn't even a hint that there have been any actions from Kodak like any of the recent scandals that have plagued some of the large corporate entities (Enron, etc.) recently.
Kodak is struggling with difficulties, and has discontinued business in at least one area that matters to us here - B&W paper. It clearly has made mistakes, and will probably make more, and some of those mistakes may result in products being discontinued that we would prefer remain available, but surely that is reason to criticize Kodak, not treat it with utter contempt.
To the best of my knowledge, Kodak hasn't ceased production without warning, sought bankruptcy protection or even stated that it intends to leave the film based photographic business. It has just sought to expand radically into the digital business, and react to a shrinking film business, probably in some ways we won't like.
This is a long, round-about way of saying to those who who have nothing good to say about Kodak, that you might wish to moderate your opinion somewhat.
It is also in particular a request to jjstafford - please change your avatar - it is really irritating to be presented time and time again with the image of someone urinating over a symbol of something that has value for thousands of people, and has particular value to those of us who rightly feel a strong feeling of loyalty to an organization which has personnally benefitted us greatly. I know that if my father saw it, it would make him sick, and considering the thousands of photographers of all types that he helped in his years of work, that seems incredibly unfair.

Gina Evers, Interview & Excerpt
In Capital Letters (ICL): What do you want remember about the program in 10 years?
That it is possible to hold down a full-time job and still make time to write.
ICL: From being part of the program and participating in workshops and the Visiting Writers series, what do you think are the most important things you have learned about your own writing? How has your writing changed?
I've learned what my strengths are as a writer, and I've learned to write away from them in order to develop other skills.
ICL: What have you read most recently that inspired you?
Stacie Cassarino's Zero at the Bone.
Writing Samples
Behind sawdust-veiled air, screeching and pounding,
my grandfather built furniture. He couldn't speak English,
couldn't talk about the war. In twelve-hour shifts, he hid pieces of himself
in the copper knobs, in the waves of carved woodwork like the coast of the Adriatic—
a home he had lost and, then, shut away inside an attic trunk.
Now the trunk's in my mother's basement, still concealing the framed map
of the Istrian peninsula inside Italian borders. After his funeral, my mother sat
fingering the leg of an endtable. She said they didn't tell the soldiers what was going on
in the war camps. He was only fighting to keep the farmhouse he was born in,
for his brothers and his new wife who he wanted to take there
to live always bumped up with the sea. I remember watching his fingertips,
yellowed with tobacco, tearing through skin and yanking bones from mackerels.
The fish's steamed eyes shone like sequins as he ripped pieces of flesh
and placed them onto my tongue: salty and dry; his fingers bitter.
"At the Three O'clock Glass Blowing Demonstration"
Showing off, you dip your rod into the color crystals, working the iron, threatening to brand one of the beauties sitting in the front row. "What would you like, Sweetheart?" A swan. Of course she wants a swan. Don't you know the gaffers in Murono have been doing this for centuries? How precisely, carefully each cane of color is divided into the thinnest ligaments, spun together into a murrine? How they work blind, unable to see the millefiori until after the cane is sliced into beads? A soffiatoro will be in the oven up to his elbows, documenting each spin of the glass with flames in his retinas. When he pulls back from the fire he will only see his hands working in a world of green aura and fluid, dark orbs. To make any object, any effigy, he will wait until the glass consents to an exchange of breath: a gift from his lungs for a gift from the earth. Exempt from persecution by the lion's mouth, by the Palazzo Ducale and its tortures while the rest of Venice cobbled together their fears and judgments. And here I am, watching you handle something so pure. Watching you set it ablaze. Watching you break it. You let the glass cool too quickly and the violet streak of swan's neck snapped as you flicked your iron through the smoke. "Don't worry, Sweetie," you winked. "There's plenty more where that came from."

Yankees control shifts to Steinbrenner's son Hal
Steinbrenner's tenure was twice interrupted by lengthy bans from baseball (1974-76 and 1990-93), but it was widely believed he still made the final decisions during those periods.
Major League Baseball said Steinbrenner requested the change in control be made, and the Yankees said Hank Steinbrenner voted in favor of it. George Steinbrenner retains his title as the team's chairman and his wife, Joan, is a vice chairperson along with their daughters, Jennifer Steinbrenner Swindal and Jessica Steinbrenner.
Before Hal, each son-in-law of the owner emerged as heir apparents, only to divorce the owner's daughters and depart the team.
Joe Molloy, married to Jessica Steinbrenner, was a general partner from 1992-97. Steve Swindal, married to Jennifer Steinbrenner, was a general partner from 1998-06, then became chairman of Yankee Global Enterprises LLC, the team's holding company. He was publicly designated by George Steinbrenner as his successor in June 2005 but Swindal departed after his driving under the influence arrest early on Feb. 15, 2007.
Hal Steinbrenner became more active in the team's operations following Swindal's arrest.
"George is still going to be involved," Yankees president Randy Levine said. "This is really just a codification, with the commissioner's help and input, of what's been going on the last several years."

On Doctor's Day, here's a ready reckoner on must-have and must-avoid foods
We all follow doctors' orders when we are sick and ailing. Whom do doctors listen to? Taking care of themselves is as important to doctors as taking care of their patients. Here's reminding the doctors about their nutrition on Doctors' Day.
Nutrition Inside a Doctor's Kitchen!
Top 5 foods doctors should say no to:
Margarine: Hydrogenated fats (trans fats) have proven risk to heart diseases. You might as well have moderate butter, than stocking up on hydrogenated fats.
Carbonated drinks: Provides empty calories, with no beneficial nutrients. The same with diet-carbonated drinks.
Beef, bacon and ham: Red meat has been associated with increased risk to many lifestyle diseases. Stay away from red and processed meat.
Pickles: Laden in salt, pickles are not healthy. Increased salt consumption has been linked to hypertension and fluid imbalance.
Sugar candy: Sugar candy does not lead to dental carries alone. Sugar is also related to obesity and metabolic diseases.
Top 5 food doctors should say yes to:
Fruits: Add colour and variety to your diet by including plenty of fruits. Fresh fruits are rich in fibre, anti-oxidants and phyto-nutrients. Prefer whole fruits to fruit juices.
Fish, flax seeds and walnuts: Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, these foods are termed heart-healthy. If you love fish, include it 2-3 times a week (not deep fried). And if you don't like fish, take flax seeds and walnuts.
Greens: They are a good source of iron, calcium and other micronutrients. Prefer greens over other starchy veggies.
Whole pulses and sprouts: Packed with proteins, they also contain fibre and B-vitamins. Include them regularly in your diet.
Curd and yoghurt: They provide pro-biotics, calcium and milk protein. Prefer low fat variants to whole fat.
Keywords: Doctor's Day, doctors' diet, doctors' heatlh

WASHINGTON - Cue the hues for the Great Emancipator.A new $5 bill, with splashes of color surrounding Abraham Lincoln will go into circulation March 13, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and the Federal Reserve announced Thursday. The new bill still will have a portrait of the 16th president on one side and the Lincoln Memorial on the other. But it also will feature purple and gray colors and other high-tech changes designed to make life more difficult for counterfeiters. Officials said they hoped the vending machine industry will use the next three months to make the adjustments needed so that millions of machines will be able to accept the redesigned $5 bill. That denomination is used heavily in the machines. 'Any business that operates machines that accept $5 bills should contact the machines' manufacturers and ensure they get adjusted to accept the new design,' said Dawn Haley, a spokesman for the bureau. Rose Pianalto, a Fed official working on the redesign, said that because the bill is used extensively in vending and self-checkout machines, 'encouraging businesses to get those machines updated to accept the new design has been a particular focus for us.' The changes to the $5 bill are similar to those already made, starting in 2003, to the $10, $20 and $50 bills. In those redesigns, pastel colors were added as part of an effort to stay ahead of counterfeiters and their increasingly sophisticated copying machines. Originally the $5 bill was not going to be redesigned. But that decision was reversed once counterfeiters began bleaching $5 notes and printing fake $100 bills with the bleached paper to take advantage of the fact that some of the security features were in the same locations on both bills. To thwart those efforts, the government is changing the $5 watermark from one of Lincoln to two separate watermarks featuring the numeral 5. The $100 bill has a watermark with the image of Benjamin Franklin.

My family and I are going on a trip in october and i don't know what to do?
Well all the fun stuff I do is ride the 3 mountians, feed the ducks, going to epcot, ect.! Well some rides i like to do are splash mountain, the great movie ride, and the other big rides. The one ride i want to ride is everest!
If you're wondering " why wasn't she riden it" it is simple. Last summer we had just left WDW in may i wander what is the matter with my rib? So
school had just started and we saw the doctor and he said you need surgey. So we saw a couple a doctors and I made my mind that my doctor (his name is Dr. King) would do it then on Feb. 12th i had my back surgey and now i am still recovering and seeing the doctor on the 29th. but back to the story, I still want to ride everest because I didn't want to hurt my back.
