Doggone It
Finding his pooch is the best moment of one man's really bad vacation
It was close to the most devastating thing to happen to a vacationing pet owner. Tony Ferreira—Barneys in Beverly Hills' personal shopper, the guy who can always find the perfect little black dress—had just arrived in Atlanta, the first stop of his summer vacation, when he got a call from the sitter he had hired to care for his three dogs. Pearl the Chihuahua was MIA.
Pearl had been placed in a crate for her ride to the park, the sitter said, but what proved to be the right call for safety proved a wrong one for Pearl's nerves. When the crate was opened on arrival at Laurel Canyon Park, Pearl slipped through her collar and took off as if shot out of a cannon. The sitter spent hours combing the neighborhood, but other than a gardener who said he saw a Chihuahua running along Mulholland, there was no sign of her.
Tony heard no words except "Pearl," "lost" and "Mulholland." Most L.A. pet owners can relate to his thoughts—the most frightening were of coyotes, followed by snakes, tarantulas and hawks. Not to mention images of the traffic on the twisting road. A dog as small as Pearl wouldn't stand a chance even if hit by someone on a bicycle.
Should Tony get on a plane back to L.A., knowing it could be a trip made in vain? Should he stay put and hope? The dog sitter was searching the canyon, and it was possible Pearl would be found. Plus, this trip back east had been booked—and paid for—months in advance. It took only a minute to decide: Logic and budget lost out to what can only be described as parental instinct.
While Tony booked his ticket back home, his friend Gant Griffis, who had made the trip with him, called his sister in Atlanta to download a photo of Pearl off an iPhone and create a lost-dog poster. They emailed that to the dog sitter back in L.A., who took it to Kinko's. Within an hour, posters with Pearl's picture were tacked onto trees all around Laurel Canyon Park.
It was after midnight when Tony's plane made its descent into L.A. It had been a grueling trip made worse because he was seated next to a woman who felt compelled to share how her husband had left her and their two kids for the woman in charge of their investments. As Tony listened to her life story, he was sending a silent mantra to Pearl: Go back to the park.
Which is exactly where Tony headed the minute he landed. More than 15 hours had passed since Pearl's disappearance. When he arrived, it was literally a dark and scary night. Hearing a coyote howling up in the canyon, he parked the car, leaving the headlights on, and walked around calling for Pearl. Nothing. Hard not to think of the odds. Pearl, a dog so small she could fit in a coat pocket, was up against the wild kingdom lurking in the canyons.
Still, Tony yelled her name. And then, like an apparition, a terrified Pearl ran out from where she was hiding, jumped up on Tony's shoulder and immediately fell asleep.
With the drama resolved, Tony prepared to resume his vacation. He was conflicted but left Pearl with the same dog sitter, because he was confident that after what had just happened, she would be super careful. In fact, Tony was certain the dog sitter wouldn't take her eyes off his little Pearl. And, really, it wasn't her fault. But Pearl was no longer to be put into a crate, as it obviously threw her into a panic.
He returned to Atlanta for a few days, before he and Gant headed north to Dartmouth, Massachusetts, and then on to Cape Cod for what was to be summertime fun with friends. What happened instead included a freak accident between a car Tony was driving and a telephone pole, which resulted in a third-degree burn on Tony's wrist and a broken rib for Gant. Then shortly after leaving the emergency room, they received word that Gant's grandfather had died unexpectedly.
Then a cold snap hit the Northeast, bringing gray skies, rain and temps so low warmer clothes had to be bought and Z-Paks consumed for the colds they'd caught. All this was in addition to the usual headaches of travel: airport delays and exhaustion.
Days later, I ran into Tony at Barneys. The burn on his hand was still nasty, but he was happy—Pearl was safe. "The miracle in the dog park," I joked, but then I realized it was true. Sometimes real life has a Disney ending. Tony was not planning a vacation to recover from the one that got away—but it's easy to see Pearl becoming a bicoastal Chihuahua.

The Uptake: Only a culture of high expectations can startups deliver. Growing in an area where excellence was demanding across the board, from the lowest rank to the highest, Speek co-founder Danny Boice finds that culture to be the foundation for successful startups.
If you weren't great at DeMatha, you didn't fit in.
This expectation of excellence didn't apply to students only; it applied to teachers as well. DeMatha retains the best teachers around. Most of the teachers I had there had been there for decades and were masters of their craft. The younger teachers were expected to get great quickly or find their way to the door.
Creating a culture of expected greatness is difficult. I am still not entirely sure how DeMatha did it. There was nothing overt: I never heard the school administrators giving talks about greatness, never got memos under the subject "Re: Winning." There were no consultants. Greatness was intrinsic to the culture.
And maybe that's the secret to making your startup more like DeMatha. It isn't overt, it's intrinsic. Not explicit, but implicit. It's not posters with eagles and buzzwords like "Perseverance"— it's a crystal-clear understanding of high expectations. It's leading by example. It's giving more than you ask for, and asking for a whole hell of a lot. It's not "solidarity retreats" at some faux-rustic Sheraton in the woods where you play name games and do trust falls. It's inviting the whole dev team over to your house for the weekend while your wife and kids are away for a programming marathon — fun and team-building, sure, but also incredibly productive.
It is doing everything well. It is learning from every experiment, considering carefully every choice. It is doubling down on every hand you play; going all in.
At most 9-to-5 corporate gigs, employees are constantly looking around for approval. It can't work like that at a startup. Excellent work is expected, not a cause for celebration and certainly not a reason to brag.

It's "Gollllllll!" for Lula Against Western Push for Iran Sanctions
Submitted by Robert Naiman on 17 May 2010 - 9:13am
If I were in Washington this morning, I would run down Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House to Congress with a big Brazilian flag, as the young Brazilians run down the Avenida Paulista in Sao Paulo during the the "football" match, shouting "Gollllllll!"
Because with the news this morning that Iran has agreed to ship most of its enriched uranium to Turkey, in a nuclear fuel swap deal reached in talks with Brazil and Turkey that could "deflate a U.S.-led push" for new sanctions against Iran, the President of Brazil has scored a goal against the neocons in the West who want to gin up confrontation with Iran towards a future military conflict.
AP reports:
Iran agreed Monday to ship most of its enriched uranium to Turkey in a nuclear fuel swap deal that could ease the international standoff over the country's disputed nuclear program and deflate a U.S.-led push for tougher sanctions.
The deal was reached in talks with Brazil and Turkey, elevating a new group of mediators for the first time in the dispute over Iran's nuclear activities. The agreement was nearly identical to a U.N.-drafted plan that Washington and its allies have been pressing Tehran for the past six months to accept in order to deprive Iran - at least temporarily - of enough stocks of enriched uranium to produce a nuclear weapon.
If the deal is "nearly identical" to the plan that the U.S. has been pressing, then we should all be celebrating, right?
Not the right-wing German government, apparently.
The key question is whether the agreement fulfills the demands that the U.N. and the International Atomic Energy Agency has made of Tehran, German government spokesman Christoph Steegmans said.
Steegmans noted that the point remains whether Iran suspends enrichment of nuclear material at home, raising a possible sticking point since the agreement reaffirmed Tehran's right to enrichment activities for peaceful purposes.
But the demand that Iran suspend the enrichment of nuclear material was never part of the fuel swap deal, and indeed the whole point of the fuel swap deal was to deescalate tensions around Iran's growing stockpile of enriched uranium without recourse to the politically unachievable demand that Iran suspend enrichment of uranium. Everyone involved in the diplomacy knows that "suspension of enrichment" crosses a red line for the Iranians, so saying that the deal is no good because it doesn't require Iran to suspend the enrichment of uranium is like saying the deal is no good because it doesn't require Iranian leaders to eat pork on Iranian TV at noon during Ramadan.
The main difference between the deal Iran has just agreed to and the U.N.-drafted version, AP reports, is that if Iran does not receive the fuel rods for its medical research reactor within a year, Turkey will be required to "quickly and unconditionally" return the uranium to Iran. Iran had feared that under the initial U.N. deal, if a swap fell through, its uranium stock could be seized permanently. If the West is operating in good faith, then this difference between the agreements shouldn't matter.
Iran dropped an earlier demand for the fuel exchange to happen in stages and is now willing to ship abroad its nuclear material in a single batch. It also dropped an insistence that the exchange happen inside Iran as well as a request to receive the fuel rods right away.
"There is no ground left for more sanctions or pressure," Turkey's Foreign Minister said.
That should be true on the merits, but it's a safe bet that the "anti-peace, pro-Israel" lobby in Washington isn't going to see it that way.
How will the Obama Administration see it?
On Friday, Secretary of State Clinton predicted that Lula's mediation effort would fail.
Now the Obama Administration has to choose. Does it really want a deal? Can it take "yes" for an answer?
Caio on 10 June 2012 - 3:52am
Let's not forget that Turkey has a nulcear arsenal of its own (sort-of). Despite the fact that the Cold War ended about 20 years ago, the United States has forward deployed 200 tactical nulcear weapons throughout Europe. In fact, 90 of these gravity bombs (designed to be delivered by aircraft) are located at the Incirlik Air Base near Adana, Turkey.Other than France and Great Britain (which have their own strategic and tactical nulcear arsenals), more nulcear weapons are present on Turkish territory than any other nation in Europe. By way of comparison, the U.S. has forward deployed only 20 of these weapons in Belgium (at Kleine Brogel Air Base), 20 in Germany (at Bfcchel Air Base), 20 in the Netherlands (at Volkel Air Base) and 50 in Italy (at Aviano Air Base). These weapons were originally intended to deter a Soviet invasion of Europe and were long considered a political plum for those nations that had them; this was especially true of Turkey (which used to brag that the U.S. stationed more nulcear weapons in Turkey than it did in Greece). Of course, these weapons are ostensibly controlled exclusively by the Americans and could never be launched without a direct order of the President of the United States.There is some debate about whether Turkey would object to the removal of these 90 warheads. The current government has issued somewhat muddled and tentative statements that they would be willing to see these weapons removed but it is unclear that the Turkish military would support this. In fact, some have suggested that acquiescing to the removal of these weapons is a red line that Turkey's civilian government had better not cross unless it wants real trouble with the military.It has even been suggested that if Iran acquires nulcear weapons, Turkey will feel obliged to develop its own independent arsenal despite the protestations of the current government that it would not do so.Those interested in this subject can begin their research at the website of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists. The BAS has an extensive archive of material on Turkey, NATO and American tactical nulcear weapons.

Here's what you already know: On Nov. 6, Washington voters affirmed the state's bipartisan freedom to marry law by voting 53.35% to 46.65% to approve Referendum 74. And with over 78% voter turnout, the electorate has spoken decisively on this matter.
Here's what you may not know: "Approve" voters in counties rejecting the measure overall were crucial to the approval of Referendum 74.
Here's how we know: A total* of 2,996,759 votes were cast for or against Referendum 74. Half of that number — 1,498,380 votes — were needed to win, but approve votes from majority-approving counties only totaled 1,026,613. That left a shortfall of 471,767 approve votes. Voters in majority-rejecting counties cast over 572,000 approve votes, making up the difference and then some.
In fact, approve voters living in majority-rejecting counties cast over one third (36%) of all the approve votes cast for Referendum 74. So don't be misled by the Secretary of State's two-toned map, which unfortunately makes the state look divided. "Approve" voters live everywhere, and every vote was vital in this election.
Pro-equality voters in rural and conservative counties did more than just vote, however. They talked to their friends, family and faith communities about why marriage is important to them, they came out publicly as straight allies, they doorbelled, phone banked, and donated to the statewide Approve R-74 campaign. Through these efforts they accomplished some stunning results beyond assuring Referendum 74's statewide approval. The following are just a few examples.
Whitman County flipped from being majority-rejecting to majority-approving. In 2009, only 45% of voters in Whitman Co. voted to approve Referendum 71 and affirm the state's domestic partnership law. This year, over 50% of the county's voters approved Referendum 74, making Whitman Co. the first in eastern Washington to majority-approve a pro-LGBT statewide ballot measure.
Significant changes were also observed in neighboring Garfield County, the county with the lowest approval rate for Referendum 71 back in 2009. Although the majority of voters there also rejected Referendum 74, the approval rate for R-74 was 25% higher than it had been for R-71. This significant shift challenges the notion that voters in rural, majority-conservative localities are necessarily lost-causes.
Support for the freedom to marry continues to increase nationwide, and voters in Washington's rural and conservative counties are very much a part of that trend.
* Numbers as of 6pm PDT on Nov. 16. Totals may change slightly since about 75,000 ballots remain uncounted.
+ Referendum 71 would have been rejected without Eastern Washington
+ All of Washington state is moving towards equality

Human rights ideals are at the pinnacle of contemporary social work practice and international political discourse. Yet in recent years, with the heightened threat of terrorism, we have begun to witness an erosion of many traditional civil liberties. Set against this backdrop, the revised edition of Human Rights and Social Work moves beyond the limitations of conventional legal frameworks. With customary clarity and ease of style, Jim Ife challenges the notion of the 'three generations of human rights', teasing out the conceptual problems of this approach and demonstrating how the three generations actually overlap at an intrinsic level. Essential reading for scholars, students and practitioners alike, this book shows how an implicit understanding of human rights principles can provide a foundation for practice that is central to social work, community development and the broader human services.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – The outsourcing debate.
It's the latest contest between President Obama and Governor Romney in an effort to court middle class voters.
On Tuesday, the Republican National Committee and Romney dubbed the president "The Real Outsourcer In Chief," during a rally in Colorado.
Not to be outdone, the President launched his own offensive against Romney during his Cedar Rapids address. He called the company Mitt Romney once headed, Bain Capital, a pioneer in outsourcing jobs
Is this politics as usual in hopes of winning over middle class voters?
We used several sites including Factcheck.org to find out what's true and what's false.
"Governor Romney has experience owning companies that were called 'pioneers' in the business of out sourcing," Obama said.
The company Obama is referring to is Bain Capital, and according to FactCheck.org, the company has shipped jobs overseas. However, most of this happened after Romney left.
As for the claim Romney sent jobs to India during his time as Governor of Massachusetts, that's also stretching the truth.
But Romney did reject a bill to stop his state from working with a company out sourcing its service-call centers to India.
"The very idea of raising taxes on the small businesses and job creators at the very time we need more jobs is the sort of thing an extreme liberal comes up with," Romney said to a cheering crowd in Colorado on Tuesday.
The "ObamaNomics" website, launched by the Republican Nominating Committee on Tuesday, attempts to fight back against the out sourcing jabs. The site lists foreign companies that supposedly benefited from the president's 831 billion dollar stimulus package
We're not sure how much of the site is accurate, but as a rebuttal, an Obama aid posted a link to documents and budgets outlining the president's tax incentive plan for companies to keep work in the US.
Next up is regulation.
"This president has increased the rate of new major regulations by three fold over his predecessor," says Romney, "Do you believe adding regulation helps small business grow and add jobs?"
The governor argues President Obama's over regulation is forcing companies out of the country. A 2011 Bloomberg Report actually put Obama neck and neck with the Bush administration on the amount of added rules and regulation.
But that report did not include the Affordable Care Act which promises new rules for insurance, health care providers and businesses.
FACT CHECK – Claims made against Mitt Romney during Obama's Cedar Rapids Speech
"When the auto-industry was on the brink of collapse, more than one million jobs on the line, Governor Romney said we should let Detroit go bankrupt.
Mitt Romney did argue against the bailout of the U.S. auto industry in 2008, in an article entitled "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt."
The op-ed piece in the New York Times argued that federal loans weren't the answer to fixing the auto industry. Instead, Romney said the automakers struggling to stay afloat should enter bankruptcy, and as a result, allow them to "shed excess labor, pension and real estate costs."
Romney wrote: "If General Motors, Ford and Chrysler get the bailout that their chief executives asked for yesterday, you can kiss the American automotive industry goodbye."
In February, Romney said Obama followed his proposed plan by putting GM and Chrysler through bankruptcy
"My opponents housing plan is to let the housing market hit bottom... I saved responsible homeowners 3,000 dollars a year by helping them refinance their loans." – Pres. Obama 7/10/12
The President's plan has allowed struggling homeowners who have mortgages backed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac to refinance without getting a new appraisal or a full credit check. The program also eliminated some risk-based fees for borrowers.
In previous speeches, Romney has said allowing the foreclosure process to "run its course and hit bottom" is the best way to help the housing market recover. However, the governor also said he's not opposed to helping homeowners refinance to stay in them.
"That would cost about a trillion dollars and we can't afford it not at a time when we're trying to bring down the deficit." – Pres. Obama 7/10/12
In his Cedar Rapids address, Obama argued that Congress is fighting over one percent of wealthy Americans when it comes to solving tax increases for 2013. The President said Tuesday he doesn't understand why Congress won't "keep fighting over the one percent" and give tax breaks to the rest of middle class America.
According to the GOP Romney campaign, the January 1, 2013 deadline is not a tax break for middle America. It will ensure tax rates do not increase, but it is not a tax break.
Romney fired back in Colorado on Tuesday saying, "the very idea of raising taxes on the small businesses and job creators at the very time we need more jobs is the sort of thing an extreme liberal comes up with."
"We've increased veterans funding since I've been president higher than any time in 30 years." – Pres. Obama 7/10/12
Obama requested a 125 billion dollar funding increase for returning veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan in 2011. The package included funds for the GI Bill, mental and physical health care needs, serving women veterans and gender specific health needs and the preserving of national shrines for war veterans.
Whether it's the highest in 30 years, we could not find exact data to support the claim.

• Many States, One Car:If renting a car for a longer road trip, check with the car rental companies in Poplar Bluff, Missouri to see if they have policies about crossing state lines that affect the final rate you pay.

Digital distribution changes this dynamic dramatically, however. As digital distribution mechanisms become more and more popular, it seems inevitable that the courts will have to eventually weigh in further on the owner versus licensee question. In fact, if those who run digital distribution systems wish to steer well clear of potential government involvement in their businesses, inclusion of certain features may mitigate the first sale question so that consumers have more rights and aren't in need of protection in that regard. There are many different digital distribution models, and so nothing I could write would truly accurately apply to all of them. Thus, this discussion is for models by which a user purchases individual games for a set price. Therefore, models like Shockwave.com's annual subscription (where you play a flat fee to play as much as you want for the year) won't be addressed, since that's really a subscription to a service, not a purchase of a product. Today's column focuses more on the system that exists on consoles and through services like Steam. Why these models? The simple answer is that they most closely mirror traditional retail sales, which is what the first sale rule is based on.
If you want to buy into the license model, then these services have no real flaw as they exist now. Consumers are purchasing a non-transferable license and have no real first sale rights. Everything is governed by the license agreement, and thus the contract governs. Most, if not all, game developers and publishers (not to mention many other software publishers) subscribe to this theory. With a physical product, if there has been a prohibition on transfer of simple retail titles, I haven't seen it thoroughly enforced, thus in practice the consumer is exercising a first sale–like behavior regardless of the agreement.
Digital distribution, however, changes that. If you want to transfer ownership of the title to someone else, you're bound by the constraints of the system. Take Steam, for example. If you buy a title on Steam, you cannot give that title to anyone else or sell that title to anyone else. It's yours forever. Even if you end up with extra gift copies per some of Steam's promotions, you can't sell those copies without violating your agreement. This has, in short, eliminated the concept of first sale. The content creator is executing control over the product after it's sold. Those who support first sale would say this is no different than buying a book and allowing the author to dictate that you can't ever put it in a garage sale; you have to destroy the book if you don't want to keep it.
But, is purchasing a digital download truly the same? In theory, you can re-download the game as often as you want. If your hard drive fails, then you can re-download the game. If your book is lost or destroyed, you have to buy a new one. So, does that make marketplaces like Steam more analogous to a long term service with flat fee pricing? Or does the fact that items could eventually be pulled from the system mean that consumers will have a grievance in the distant future, despite disclaimers in the user agreements?
As you can probably see, this is fairly uncharted legal territory, or at least territory where there's some significant possible discussion to be had. I won't go too deeply into my own thoughts on how the copyright issue should be resolved from a policy standpoint. However, if I had to predict what might bring this to a head, it would likely be some result of consumer protection. If there were significant consumer complaints about the system, then a group like the FTC would "come to the rescue" and impose certain kinds of regulations in the US.
This potential can be mitigated, though, through some relatively minor system features in digital distribution platforms. In fact, the majority of issues could be remedied by allowing users to transfer licenses. Ironically, you could build the entire transfer system into the platform, allow people to charge for it, and make money off a small transaction fee (à la eBay). Does Steam have any real loss, for example, if I buy Half-Life 2, then re-sell the copy I bought to another Steam user through the platform? No, especially if the company charges a small fee for processing the transaction. There's still only a finite number of playable copies of the game, since by selling my copy, I've lost the ability to play the game by virtue of the system. Yes, there is some risk of being able to crack the previously downloaded files, but the risk is not substantially greater than traditional piracy in my view.
The only other feature that might be argued is some sort of return system. Yes, it is currently difficult (if not impossible) to return software at retail. However, allowing for returns or exchanges in certain cases, such as someone buying a gift (if that were implemented) would probably do a lot for consumer confidence. The more touchy subject would be a return in the event of a game being released with a major glitch. With patching, the issue can be fixed, but giving the consumer an option to give up their copy of the game for, at a minimum, "store credit" within the system would be another boost to consumer confidence.
Clearly digital distribution is going to continue to expand, though I'm not as certain as some that it will eventually replace retail. I would imagine it will be more of a coexistence, with digital distribution still having a lot of room to grow. But as that growth occurs, issues like those discussed here will arise and will need to be dealt with in greater detail. While ultimately the license model seems to be holding up regardless of the first sale arguments, it's still possible that courts may alter that analysis in light of the expansion of digital distribution and the different position it puts the consumer into from traditional sale. After all, the point of intellectual property law, as I've long stated, is balancing the rights of producers and consumers.

J&J seeks OK for first drug against resistant TBJuly 2nd, 2012 in Medications /
In this Monday, July 17, 2006 file photo, a technician at Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics Inc., a Johnson & Johnson company, works in a "sterile filling" room at the plant in Raritan, N.J. Johnson & Johnson said Monday, July 2, 2012, that it is seeking U.S. approval for the first new type of medicine to fight deadly tuberculosis in more than four decades AP Photo/Mike Derer, File)
(AP) Johnson & Johnson said Monday that it is seeking U.S. approval for the first new type of medicine to fight deadly tuberculosis in more than four decades.
The experimental drug, called bedaquiline, also would be the first medicine specifically for treating multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis. That's an increasingly common form in which at least two of the four primary TB drugs don't work.
Tuberculosis, caused by bacterial infection of the lungs and other body areas, is the world's No. 2 killer of adults among infectious diseases.
J&J's Janssen Research & Development unit created the drug, which was tested in several hundred patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in two mid-stage studies lasting for six months. Some patients were studied for about 1 1/2 years.
The company this fall is to begin late-stage testing that will compare bedaquiline to dummy pills over nine months in about 600 patients; each will also take six other drugs that are the standard treatments for tuberculosis. That study is aimed at seeing whether treatment for resistant tuberculosis can be reduced to nine months from the current 18 to 24 months recommended by the World Health Organization.
Roughly one-third of the world's population is estimated to be infected with the bacteria causing tuberculosis. It remains latent in most people for many years but can be activated by another infection or serious health problem.
TB is rare in the U.S. but kills about 1.4 million people a year worldwide, with about 150,000 of those succumbing to the increasingly common multidrug-resistant forms.
Janssen's head of infectious diseases, Dr. Wim Pays, said the company will also apply for approval of bedaquiline in other countries where TB is very common.
The disease is a serious problem in developing countries because it takes so long to cure and many patients stop taking their pills once they begin to feel better. That helps bacteria still alive in the patient to develop resistance to the medicines already taken, making future treatment much more difficult.
In afternoon trading, J&J shares rose 31 cents to $67.87. They are approaching their 52-week high of $68.05 set almost a year ago.

For any of the medically inclined out there...is it possible to get a false A1C result? Last June I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. My score was 11.8 and my doctor told me that was coma-like numbers. The next morning I went on an immediate diet and started exercising. My next A1C 3 months later I had lost 25 pounds and my new score was under 6. My doctor told me he had only one other patient in 25 years that he could remember who's score how dropped that much. I was very happy to say the least.
However, this is what I am leading up to and I certainly am not complaining. I am just curious. Since around last Thanksgiving and ever since I fell off the food wagon. I have given up some foods and still walk a lot but the bottom line is I am a candy bar fiend. I just have no willpower. I have regained a lot of what I lost. The main issue is that even after all this even on nights where I know I have eaten a bunch of bad stuff my blood sugar tests are always fine?!?!?!My sugar is almost always between 110 to 130. THe highest it has ever registered was 176. Can there be false diabetic readings???

text: This seminar will explore the law's allocation of rights, responsibilities and privileges among children, their families and the state in a wide range of contexts. Source materials will include federal and state constitutional doctrine, numerous federal and state statutes, social science materials, journalistic coverage of some issues, and narratives of individuals' experiences. The course will help students to understand the forces that shape family law, modern child welfare and juvenile justice policy and practice, and related subjects. Drawing on law, economics, sociology, psychology and other disciplines, students will examine such issues as the interests of institutionalized minors and their families; free speech in public schools and school-related activities; privacy, including drug testing, in public schools; minors in the workplace; the legal implications of adolescents' use of technology and social media; governmental responsibility in cases of child abuse and neglect; state-sanctioned restrictions on the rights of minors; the state's responses to youth criminality, including waiver to criminal court, conditions of confinement, capital punishment and juvenile life without parole; minors' medical autonomy and decision-making, including abortion; and other questions. These subjects will be addressed from both doctrinal and public policy perspectives. Also addressed will be the pros and cons of various strategies that have been employed to improve public child-serving systems and the particular challenges faced by judges handling individual child- and family-related cases.

Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) is a national effort to promote awareness and prevention of domestic violence and takes place in the month of October. At Women In Distress a series of local events and activities are held throughout the month of October to commemorate Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Click here for a calendar of events.
Click here to learn more about the Silent Witness Memorial Event at Nova Southeastern University.
Domestic Violence Awareness Month evolved from the first Day of Unity observed in October, 1981 by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. The intent was to connect battered women's advocates across the nation who were working to end violence against women and their children. The Day of Unity soon became a special week when a range of activities were conducted at the local, state, and national levels.
These activities were as varied and diverse as the program sponsors but had common themes: mourning those who have died because of domestic violence, celebrating those who have survived, and connecting those who work to end violence.
In October 1987, the first Domestic Violence Awareness Month was observed. That same year, the first national toll-free hotline was begun. In 1989 the first Domestic Violence Awareness Month Commemorative Legislation was passed by the U.S. Congress. Such legislation has passed every year since.
The Day of Unity is now celebrated the first Monday in October with hopes that events in communities and regions across the fifty states will culminate in a powerful statement celebrating the strength of battered women and their children.

Fox Motion Elite Shoe
With a gym in the same building as us here at TransWorld, we've become quite the fitness buffs. It's the old "detox/retox" quandary—sweat it out, put it back in. Anyway, your regular old skate shoes don't cut it when you gotta run around the building and hop over obstacles. That's where the new Fox Motion Elite comes in. The guy who kicks our ass over at Ezia, Ryan Gallop, has been rocking these ever since Ian Walsh hooked him up with a pair. And while Ryan ain't Brad Pitt by any means, dude looks pretty sharp in 'em. And if they're good enough for Ryan and Ian Walsh, they're good enough for these office jocks.—JC

The brush variants you choose depend on the result you want.
Maybe if you could point to some examples, it would be easier to make suggestions.
Really, your best bet is to open a big white Canvas and begin testing all of the brush variants, one category at a time. That's the fastest way to get a feel for how they work and begin to pick out ones you like best.
Mixing, as I mentioned in another response to your question, can be done with any of several (or many) existing Painter 7 brush variants or with tweaks made to others.
Try adjusting the Well section's Resat slider to the left and Bleed slider to the right of the Resat slider. That'll give you a brush that blends and you can fiddle with the sliders and try several variants 'til you have something that works.
Do your blending on the Canvas until you know more about handling Painter.
Good luck,

I own three Painter WOW! Books (and a small image of mine is in the Painter 6 WOW! Book). I've never had time to read through any of them completely, but know they contain a lot of inspiring examples of art done by Painter users.
My own impression is that the Painter WOW! Books are best used either after the new user has the basics down or along with a class or other steady instruction at hand while using the books.
Cher's books are very popular, in any case.
Again, I do think the new user does well to learn the basics of Painter, how to manage brushes, create new variants, etc. ... basically understand how Painter brushes work.. and thoroughly understand them.
Also important is a solid understanding of Painter Layers, User Masks, Painter 7 and earlier version Visibility Masks, and Painter 8 Layers, Alpha channels, and Masks.
It's also good to understand the relationship between Painter's brushes and Paper textures as they interact. Learning how to create your own Paper textures (and Patterns) for specific projects is important as well, and can make all the difference in whether or not your painting or other image turns out the way you wanted.
Without these basics, the user will find him/herself in trouble, frustrated, and wasting valuable time and energy.

Wal-Mart offers to hire more than 100,000 veterans over 5 years
Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world's largest retailer and the nation's largest private employer, is making a pledge to hire every veteran who wants a job.
The plan is set to be announced as part of an address delivered in New York on Tuesday at the annual retail industry convention by Bill Simon, president and CEO of Wal-Mart's U.S. stores.
Wal-Mart, based in Bentonville, Ark., says it projects it will hire more than 100,000 veterans in the next five years. Honorably discharged veterans will have a "place to go", says Walmart's Simon, according to prepared text supplied by the discounter.
The hiring pledge, which will begin on Memorial Day, covers veterans within 12 months of leaving active duty. Most of the jobs will be in Wal-Mart's stores or its Sam's club locations. Some will be in the company's distribution centers.
"Let's be clear; hiring a veteran can be one of the best decisions any of us can make," Simon plans to say in his address to retailers gathered on the third day of the four-day National Retail Federation convention. "Veterans have a record of performance under pressure. They're quick learners, and they're team players. These are leaders with discipline, training, and a passion for service. There is a seriousness and sense of purpose that the military instills, and we need it today more than ever."
Wal-Mart says it believes it is already the large private employer of veterans in the country.
"It's a good pool of labor that fits well into how Walmart runs its business, with potential associates that are accustomed to a chain of command, standard operating procedures, disciplined scheduling," Colin McGranahan, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. in New York, said in an email. "It also generates positive PR for Walmart at a time when the company could certainly use some."
Aside from the positive publicity, the initiative could generate as much as $960 million in tax breaks for the retailer.
Under a U.S. tax provision that was extended through 2013, employers can get tax credits of as much as $9,600 for hiring veterans, depending on their disability status, hours of work and other criteria. The one-year extension was part of the tax law that President Barack Obama signed Jan. 2 and is estimated to cost the government $125 million in foregone revenue in the next decade.
The full $960 million in tax credits would only be reached if Wal-Mart hired all 100,000 employees from the category with the largest available credit and Congress extends the break for four more years. The actual number probably will be smaller because the $9,600 credit is available only for hiring disabled veterans with periods of unemployment exceeding six months.
Simon said in his remarks prepared for the National Retail Federation's annual convention that Wal-Mart would "bring more transparency to our scheduling system so part-time workers can choose more hours for themselves." Employees and union-backed activists have complained in the past that Wal-Mart's system leaves employees with erratic schedules and fewer hours than they want.
"We want all of our associates to find the career opportunities they want with Walmart," Simon said. "We will make sure part-time associates have full visibility into full-time job openings in their stores and nearby stores, and that they always have first shot at those jobs."
The Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Justice are probing allegations that Wal-Mart bribed officials to speed its expansion in Mexico. The company also has been criticized following reports that its suppliers were making garments at a Bangladesh factory where more than 100 people died in a November blaze. Earlier that month, the company came under fire for opening stores on Thanksgiving night, requiring employees to work on the holiday.
First Lady Michelle Obama and Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., praised Wal-Mart's hiring plan in statements released by the company and asked other businesses to follow its lead in helping veterans
In the next several weeks, the White House will convene the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense and major U.S. employers to encourage businesses to make significant commitments to train and employ American's returning veterans, according to Simon's prepared text.
Wal-Mart which also operates Sam's Clubs, employs more than 1.4 million workers in the U.S.
The Washington Post News Service with Bloomberg News, Washington D.C. contributed to this report.

We love our new pens! We were looking for this style in our green after receiving some similar pens and the Javalina Splash in lime green was the perfect match. The imprint area is larger compared to some other products, which we really like. It's a great pen for the price and the writes really well.

Francis Barber
Francis Barber (ca. 1735–1801) was the Jamaican manservant of Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) in London from 1752 until Johnson's death. Johnson made him his residual heir, with £70 a year to be given him by Trustees, expressing the wish that he move from London to Lichfield in Staffordshire, Johnson's native city. After Johnson's death, Barber did this, opening a draper's shop and marrying a local woman. Barber was also left Johnson's books and papers, and a gold watch. In later years he had acted as Johnson's assistant in revising his famous Dictionary and other works.
Barber was born a slave on a sugar plantation in Jamaica belonging to the Bathurst family. At the age of about 15, he was brought to England by his owner, Colonel Richard Bathhurst, whose son, also called Richard, was a close friend of Johnson. He was sent to school in Yorkshire. Johnson's wife Elizabeth died in 1752, plunging Johnson into a depression that Barber later vividly described to James Boswell. The Bathursts sent Barber to Johnson as a valet, arriving two weeks after her death. Although the legal validity of slavery in England was ambiguous at this time (with Somersett's Case of 1772 clarifying that it did not exist in England), when the elder Bathurst died two years later he gave Barber his freedom in his will, with a small legacy of £12 (equivalent to £2,000 in 2015). Johnson himself was an outspoken opponent of slavery, not just in England but in the American colonies as well.
Barber then went to work for an apothecary in Cheapside but kept in touch with Johnson. He later signed up as a sailor for the Navy, until retrieved, by Johnson, returning to be his servant. Barber's brief maritime career is known from James Boswell's Life of Johnson:
|His negro servant, Francis Barber, having left him, and been some time at sea, not pressed as has been supposed, but with his own consent, it appears from a letter to John Wilkes, Esq., from Dr. Smollet, that his master kindly interested himself in procuring his release from a state of life of which Johnson always expressed the utmost abhorrence. He said, 'No man will be a sailor who has contrivance enough to get himself into a jail; for being in a ship is being in a jail, with the chance of being drowned.' And at another time, 'A man in a jail has more room, better food, and commonly better company.' The letter was as follows:--
Chelsea, March 16, 1759.
I am again your petitioner, in behalf of that great CHAM of literature, Samuel Johnson. His black servant, whose name is Francis Barber, has been pressed on board the Stag Frigate, Captain Angel, and our lexicographer is in great distress. He says the boy is a sickly lad, of a delicate frame, and particularly subject to a malady in his throat, which renders him very unfit for his Majesty's service. You know what manner of animosity the said Johnson has against you; and I dare say you desire no other opportunity of resenting it than that of laying him under an obligation. He was humble enough to desire my assistance on this occasion, though he and I were never cater-cousins; and I gave him to understand that I would make application to my friend Mr. Wilkes, who, perhaps, by his interest with Dr. Hay and Mr. Elliot, might be able to procure the discharge of his lacquey. It would be superfluous to say more on the subject, which I leave to your own consideration; but I cannot let slip this opportunity of declaring that I am, with the most inviolable esteem and attachment, dear Sir,
Your affectionate, obliged, humble servant,
Mr. Wilkes, who upon all occasions has acted, as a private gentleman, with most polite liberality, applied to his friend Sir George Hay, then one of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty; and Francis Barber was discharged, as he has told me, without any wish of his own. He found his old master in Chambers in the Inner Temple[1047], and returned to his service.
Later Johnson put Barber, by then in his early thirties, in a school, presumably so that he could act as Johnson's assistant. From Boswell's Life:
|His sincere regard for Francis Barber, his faithful negro servant, made him so desirous of his further improvement, that he now placed him at a school at Bishop Stortford, in Hertfordshire. This humane attention does Johnson's heart much honour. Out of many letters which Mr. Barber received from his master, he has preserved three, which he kindly gave me, and which I shall insert according to their dates.
To MR. FRANCIS BARBER.
I have been very much out of order. I am glad to hear that you are well, and design to come soon to see you. I would have you stay at Mrs. Clapp's for the present, till I can determine what we shall do. Be a good boy[185].
My compliments to Mrs. Clapp and to Mr. Fowler. I am, Your's affectionately, SAM. JOHNSON'. May 28, 1768.
Later years[edit]
Barber is often mentioned in James Boswell's Life of Johnson and other contemporary sources, and there are at least two versions of a portrait, one now in Dr. Johnson's House, which may be of him. Most recent art historians thought it was probably painted by James Northcote, or perhaps by Northcote's master Sir Joshua Reynolds, who was one of Barber's Trustees under the will. An alternative view, recently expressed on a BBC programme, is that it is by Reynolds himself, but of his own black servant, not Barber.
When making his will, Johnson asked Sir John Hawkins, later his first biographer, what provision he should make for Barber. Sir John said that a nobleman would give 50 pounds a year (equivalent to £5,000 in 2015). Then I shall be "noblissimus" replied Johnson, and give him 70 (equivalent to £8,000 in 2015). Hawkins disapproved, and after Johnson's death criticised his "ostentatious bounty and favor to negroes." The bequest was indeed widely covered in the press. Johnson, in fact, left £750 (equivalent to £82,000 in 2015) in the trust of his friend Bennet Langton from which he was expected to pay an annuity.[1]
Barber's life in Staffordshire was unsettled, and he was apparently given to drinking. He died in Stafford on 13 January 1801 due to an unsuccessful operation at Staffordshire Royal Infirmary.[2] He was survived by his son, Samuel Barber, his daughter, Ann, and his wife, Elizabeth.[3] His descendants still farm near Lichfield.
Francis Barber's marriage to Elizabeth Ball is featured in the short silent animation The Trouble with Francis.

Glyn Dewis – Photographer and Author
He calls himself a Photoshop-ographer. We call him extremely talented. Glyn Dewis is a Photographer, Retoucher and Trainer currently based just outside of Oxford in the UK. But don't let this kind smile and his love of geek talk fool you. Do a little more research and you'll find that he is a tenacious body builder and fitness buff on the side of his photographic career. And if you look at his portfolio, you'll see this reflected in his wonderfully creative works of art.
We recently had the privilege of chatting with him on our Photofocus podcast about his journey into photography and retouching in a very short amount of time. Plus, he talks about the marketing side of doing what you love and making money doing it.
Take a listen to Glyn's podcast.
Here is the new podcast feed:
Get the show here or get it on iTunes — Don't forget to post a review on iTunes.
Returning from the USA, Glyn completely absorbed himself in Photoshop studying and practicing during any spare moments and soon found himself being hired to retouch other photographer's work and it was this that naturally lead him into Photography and his first DSLR.
Fast forward a few years and Glyn's clients range from Physique Athletes to large commercials such as Air New Zealand but he attributes his current position to a combination of hard work, guidance of incredibly talented and generous friends and a mind set of always wanting to improve and that there is ALWAYS something to learn.
As Photoshop and Photography is very much a partnership in Glyn's work, he describes himself as a Photoshop-ographer, and now travels Internationally teaching his own series of 'sell out' Photography and Photoshop based Workshops, Instructing at Conventions, speaking at Seminars, writing for several Photoshop Magazines across Europe and the USA and in 2013 was featured in the New York Times. Without hesitation though, one of the highlights of his career so far was becoming a Member of the Photoshop World Dream Team of Instructors having received the call from Scott Kelby President of Kelby One (formerly the N.A.P.P. and Kelby Training)
"The N.AP.P is where it all began for me and had it not been for the people I've met, friends I've made and the overwhelming support and encouragement I've received and still do, things could be very different. To be entrusted to now share the stage with folks I admire both professionally and personally is nothing short of an honor."
Teaching and standing in front of large audiences came naturally to Glyn having attended drama school for a short period of time as a child and having also been a Competitive Bodybuilder although he stresses that he does wear considerably more when on stage these days.
