We handpicked this because
we want baby soft skin for our little monkeys. Monkey Balm is a steroid free treatment for eczema and other dry skin. It's definitely a favorite around here especially in the summer time. Our little ones get dry, painful and sunburned skin and Monkey Balm has worked wonders for us. It is the go-to product for everyone.
Monkey Balm 2-pack
Fast soothing relief. Helps protect from dry, itchy skin, sunburns and more! Safe for all ages.
Why does it work?
Monkey Balm is a 100% homemade, all-natural remedy for eczema and extremely dry skin and is formulated specifically for children and infants. This formula includes all-natural ingredients and features the amazing healing power of the sea buckthorn berry. Sea buckthorn (seed and fruit) oil is time-tested and clinically proven to soothe irritation and heal dry, cracked, even abrasive skin resulting from eczema, rosacea, dry climates, seasonal changes, sunburn, rashes, and even minor burns and wounds. Sea buckthorn has been used for centuries in Asia and Europe to heal skin problems and is considered a holy fruit by ancient and modern Tibetans. It has been recommended by doctors (even Dr. Oz) as the best natural cure for acne. Monkey Balm incorporates these oils from the sea buckthorn berry with other soothing botanicals like shea butter, cocoa butter, and Vitamin E to create a truly remarkable product in an easy-to-use use lotion bar.
"Ever since my daughter was about two years old she has had painfully dry skin. It was itchy and had white patches, and when I tried to put lotion on it she would cry. We finally found Monkey Balm and it was instantly soothing, and when I used it consistently it eliminated the dryness. Now she asks for the stick whenever she gets dry skin. I think she likes using the stick even when her skin is not dry just because it's fun to apply. Thank you so much."
-Karen Sander
"My daughter has eczema on her legs year round from the dry climate we live in, and I have a standing prescription for a steroid ointment that I hate to use on her. My friend suggested trying this stick instead and it has worked great. We always use it after bath time and since it is in stick form she can rub it on herself without getting it all over the carpet and her hands. I feel so much better to have found a steroid-free treatment that has worked just as well."-Christine Garrett

About Monkey Balm
After years of trying every over-the-counter and prescription cream under the sun to help her poor little Monkeys, she found out about Sea Buckthorn Oil. It's used in many luxury Asian and European skin care products and natural skin treatments due to its unique power to heal damaged skin and protect it from the elements. She started experimenting with simple, effective methods to deliver this miraculous oil to the sensitive skin of their kids. After a few years of trial and error, they finally nailed it. Monkey Balm is the culmination of many different formulas and application methods. It's the perfect combination of an effective, "no-stingy" formula. The main ingredient being sea buckthorn fruit and seed oils, and a simple, easy to use application "stick" that lasts longer than any cream or salve they have ever tried.

For £1,000,000
,000, I expected the Corpus Clock — ostensibly the world's strangest clock — to be stranger. It's still pretty strange, I guess: a giant grasshopper and 60 illuminated slits cut into its face that tell the time. It's sort of like what kind of watch Lewis Carroll would design if he got a job with Tokyo Flash.
Update: Times Online has more, including a surreal image of the Chronophage's creator polishing the suspended metal droplet at the center of the clock. – JJ
Cambridge reveals the time-eater, Chronophage, devourer of hours [Times Online]
The Corpus Clock & Chronophage is not £1m strange, but close!
• Discuss this post in our forums
19 Responses to "The Corpus Clock & Chronophage is not £1m strange, but close!"
I think the cost of this clock was a million British pounds rather than a billion. Either way, there are a few ways to better spend a million bucks, like optimus maximus keyboards for all your friends.
since when is 1,000,000,000 = 1m pound Brownlee? Lay off the sauce.
£1m or £1,000,000,000. There's a small difference there 😉
as an added benefit, it was invented by father time himself
Actually, it is 500,000 quid. The 1,000,000 is a very loose conversion to American Dollars.
Still, I would file this under CHRONOGASM.
It's fascinating that this clock is fully mechanically driven. While in my opinion it could be improved by using optics to illuminate the slits with sunlight during the day, it's still a far cry from my initial presumption that the internals were electric.
The drive mechanism is quite clever, and the external escapement is pretty sweet as well. Also, the fact that it periodically speeds up, slows down, or stops while still keeping time is quite amazing.
Ooh, that is actually very nice. Big chunky metal, the neat display system, the way the imagery is an integral part of the mechanism – not to mention the charmingly British gentleman that came up with it.I'll have to make a detour to stare at it (shiny…) if I'm ever near Cambridge.
I think this is the best use of a million bucks that I've ever seen.
More fancy clocks, fewer fancy bombs. That's what I say.
Am I the only one that finds this clock ugly?
Well get out of the former goths club then
There is a serious problem with the British understanding of a Million to be equivalent to the US understanding of a Billion; one I thought may not have lingered into the 20th century much, much less the 21st.
I haven't figured exactly how the clock does the top of the minute/ top of the hour LED cycle flourish mechanically.
I suspect a small knockoff, without locust, with the LEDs movement controlled electronically, to become commercially available for under fifty bucks.
@13; no, it used to be the case that the British understanding of a billion was equivalent to the US understanding of a trillion. But the definition of billion = 10^9 is universal over here now.
We've always had transatlantic agreement on what a million is.
Anonymous @ 13 – in fact British and American millions are both 1,000,000 – and always have been as far as I'm aware.
The discrepancy was with our billions. The proper British billion was a million squared (1,000,000,000,000), a million to the power of 2, hence the 'bi ' prefix, and a British trillion was a million to the power of 3 (1,000,000,000,000,000,000), hence the 'tri' prefix.
When I was in school, last century, we learned about both, but always referred to the smaller one as 'an American billion', as did the BBC as I recall.
The proper British billion quietly slipped away and died towards the end of the century, in the face of the Great US Cultural Onslaught, in which we still bask…
Also, the Chronophage looks magnificent 😀 (kettle thermostats and a huge shiny chronometer surely earn Dr John Taylor a place in ~my~ pantheon)
…and I'll be in Cambridge next week!
… just have to think of a suitable sacrifice…
It's absolutely magnificent.
Dear RJ
You can say THAT twice!
I am speechlessly impressed.
(The Brits never fail to knock my eyes out.)
Thanks for the post.
sammich @ 16 – no you won't…
but i ~have~ finally managed to see it today. it is satisfyingly strange, and bigger than i'd thought… i am, however, left with an urge to break the glass and replace the uniformly blue LEDs with multi-coloured ones…

Any suggestions for some good RSS feeds or blogs about birding, or about birds? I need something to keep me semi-sane. Science, evolution, or just cool pictures, backyard bird feeding and attracting, are all good. Something with frequent posts or updates?
I saw this one- it looked interesting. Im sure there must be lots of others.
Booklover - that is the cutest bird picture! Love it!
Thanks for the great video Patricia! I'll have to watch it several times.
And thanks for your pigeon pictures. They are beautiful birds.
You can see them here in Austin. You just need to know where to look.
Steph, that is a beautiful bird. Where are they? Gulf coast?
I love the Kingfishers Joan! Thank you!
Thanks for the gallery link.

NPR's Linda Wertheimer talks to science correspondent Geoff Brumfiel about last week's tragic loss of the Virgin Galactic spaceship.
Volunteers are preparing ballot boxes and Catalans are rallying in the streets of their capital Barcelona, a day before a non-binding vote on secession from Spain.
Results from Tuesday's elections have been counted, and Political Junkie Ken Rudin tells NPR's Linda Wertheimer how the results stack up against past midterms.
Post-elections, Molly Antopol and Jason Sheehan reflect on the results by turning to their favorite political books, Elect Mr. Robinson for a Better World and Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail.
North Dakota and Colorado voters struck down the "personhood" measures, which would give legal rights to fetuses. But Tennessee's Amendment 1 passed with 53 percent of the vote.
The unemployment rate tells only a partial story about the labor market and the state of American workers. Five other measures provide a fuller understanding of the economy and the nation's workforce.
The U.S. thought trade and investment would eventually make China more democratic. In fact, it's had the opposite effect: creating a rich, authoritarian leadership class that remains repressive.
Virgin Galactic says there have been some cancellations in the week since its experimental craft went down, killing the co-pilot. But many ticket holders say they don't plan to ask for refunds.
The Chinese island is renowned as a gambling capital and a place to launder cash. An anti-graft campaign has driven away high rollers and others dependent on its shady financial services.
In an update to a 2011 StoryCorps interview, Ret. Army Sgt. 1st Class Max Voelz, whose wife died disarming an IED, and Sgt. Mary Dague, who lost both arms in Iraq, both say they are happy now.

BUSINESS FINANCE Political Risk
BUSINESS FINANCE 725 International Financial Management Syllabus - Spring Quarter 2006 Instructor: Alvaro Taboada Office: 606 Fisher Hall Phone: 292-7562 E- mail: firstname.lastname@example.com Office Hours: by appointment ________________________________________________________________________ Course Objectives This course applies the principles of investment analysis and financial management to the international arena. The goal is to provide a framework for making sound financial decisions in an international context. The course will be divided into three sections: 1) The international financial environment; 2) international investment analysis, and 3) topics in international corporate finance. We will explore issues in exchange rate risk management, country risk, and cross-border investment analysis, as well as the most recent developments in global financial markets. Text and Materials The required text for this course is International Financial Management (4th edition) by Cheol S. Eun, and Bruce G. Resnick. There is a required course packet that includes HBS Note 9-292-084 "Note on Cross- Border Valuation" and HBS Case 9-204-144 "Offshoring at Global Information Systems, Inc." The packet is available at COP-Ez. Lecture Notes: available from course web site. Prerequisites BUS ADM 555 and BUS FIN 620 are the formal prerequisites for this course. BUS FIN 722 and 722 are recommended. Students are expected to be familiar with such topics as: discounted cash flows, net present value, basic statistics (mean, standard deviation, regression analysis, etc.). If you do not feel comfortable with these topics, please get yourself up to speed with this material promptly. You should be comfortable using Excel. Grading Grades will be determined as follows: Exams (2): 30% each. Final exam will be cumulative. Homework assignments (2): 5% each Case: 5% Country Report/Presentation: 15% Class participation: 10% Exams There will be one midterm exam and one final exam. The exams will cover material from lectures, assigned readings, and assigned problems. The final exam will be comprehensive. You are allowed to bring a calculator to the exams. I will provide a formula sheet for each exam so that you will not have to memorize formulas. Homework Assignments There will be two homework assignments worth 10% of your grade. The assignments will consist of problem sets and direct applications of the material covered in class. The use of Excel may be needed to complete certain parts of the homework assignments. Country Report and In-Class Presentation Groups of up to five students are required to hand in a professionally written report on a country of their choosing by the beginning of class on Thursday, May 25th . In addition, each group is expected to follow any new develop ments in their selected countries throughout the course of the quarter. Each week I will randomly ask students to discuss recent developments in their chosen countries, emphasizing the potential impact of these developments on international investment. The report should incorporate a detailed study of the economic, political, and financial environment of the respective countries. The report should be typed and should not exceed four pages. The idea is to produce a report that provides an investment recommendation to a multinational corporation that is planning to invest in that country. Each group must be formed and must decide which country they will follow by the end of the third class meeting (April 4th). More information about the report will be discussed in class. In addition to the written assignment, each group will give a 10- minute presentation of their report during the last two weeks of class (May 25th and May 30th ). Case A case study, "Offshoring at Global Information Systems, Inc." will be discussed during class on May 23rd. Students are required to hand in a written report at the beginning of class on May 23rd. The write-ups should not exceed four pages. Case questions will be posted to the course website. Class Participation/Attendance As much of the learning in this course occurs in the classroom, it is important that all students attend classes. I expect all students to actively participate in class discussions by asking thoughtful questions, sharing their views on particular issues, etc. Just showing up to class will not entitle you to class participation points. You must actively participate in discussions to earn such points. Accommodation Students who request help will be given reasonable accommodation through the advice and assistance of the University Office of Disability Services. Appeals Grading errors should be corrected. Appeals must be in writing, within one week after the graded work is returned. This appeal should include a description of the questions that need to be reexamined as well as an explanation of why the original grade was incorrect. In general, the entire document will be checked for grading errors, and correcting these could result in a higher or lower score. Academic Integrity You have affirmed to adhere to the following statement: As a member of the Fisher College of Business community, I am personally committed to the highest standards of ethical behavior. Honesty and integrity are the foundation from which I will measure my actions. I will hold myself accountable to adhere to these standards. As a leader of the community and business environment, I will pledge to live by these principles and celebrate those who share these ideals.

It's almost time for the Broadcast Television Journalists Association to honor the biggest and brightest stars and program at the 5th Annual Critics' Choice Television Awards.
And on Sunday, May 31st A&E will broadcast the whole shindig live from the Beverly Hilton Hotel beginning at 7pm for the Red Carpet Special, followed by the main event at 8pm.
With four successful seasons so far, Ryan Murphy is chomping at the bit to bring Season Five of "American Horror Story" to life.
Earlier today (April 24), the showrunner took to his social media accounts to let fans know that Evan Peters is on board for "American Horror Story: Hotel"- "This season, Evan Peters will be waiting for you in Room 64. #AHSHOTEL."
Looking ahead to the Fall 2015 season, Ryan Murphy has big plans for his hit television series "American Horror Story: Hotel," including a returning cast member- second season's Chloe Sevigny!
With some of the most loyal fans in the game, "American Horror Story" is about to undergo some changes in the personnel department.
Over the weekend, Jessica Lange told the audience at PaleyFest that she's leaving the show."We've had a great run here. I have absolutely loved doing these four characters that I've had the opportunity to play ... Forty years of acting and it's never going to get better than this. Yes, I'm done. I loved this season. It was my absolute favorite."
The next season of "American Horror Story" officially has a new member: Lady Gaga!
As her first starring role on television, the pop star will appear in the fifth season of the hit FX series, which is slated to return in October. While her character has not yet been revealed, Ryan Murphy, the show's creator, has said that major clues were left in the fourth season about the upcoming installment.
"American Horror Story" star Ben Woolf was rushed to a nearby hospital after being hit by a car in Hollywood last night (Feb. 19)
According to a new report, the actor, who plays Meep on the show, was hit in the head by the side-view mirror of a passing SUV as he was crossing the street. He was immediately transported to a local hospital where he remains in intensive care. Because he was jaywalking when the accident occurred, the driver was not cited, TMZ reported.
Adding to his impressive list of roles this year, Neil Patrick Harris revealed that he is going to have a guest role on "American Horror Story: Freak Show."
According to TVLine, the "How I Met Your Mother" actor will appear on the final two episodes of the series with hubby David Burtka.
Things are looking great for Ryan Murphy's "American Horror Story: Freak Show" as Season Four's premiere had the highest ratings ever for the FX Network.
Nabbing 13 million total viewers, the program topped all other shows for the 20-year history of the channel, leading CEO John Landgraf to declare, "The American Horror Story anthology has had the highest growth trajectory of any show in FX history, not to mention an unprecedented track record of success in awards recognition."

Diabetic patients with positive glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody (GAD-Ab) could be classified as autoimmune diabetes, which is discriminated into acute-onset classical type 1 diabetes (T1DM) and latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA). However, whether the decay rate of beta cell function is relevant with the mode of onset (acute or latent-onset) is unclear. We aimed to investigate whether initial C peptide levels could help differentiate variation of C peptide decay rate.
Five hundred and twenty-seven newly diagnosed GAD-Ab positive diabetic patients were followed up to assess the natural course of beta cell function. Beta cell function failure was defined as fasting C peptide and postprandial C peptide levels less than 100 pmol/L and 150 pmol/L respectively.
All these diabetic patients were discriminated according to initial fasting C peptide of 300 pmol/L, that is B+ (larger than 300 pmol/L) and B- (less than 300 pmol/L) group. The proportion of developing beta cell function failure was 13.1% in B+ group and 90.5% in B- group, which suggested that fasting C peptide levels made a good distinction of the heterogeneity in autoimmune diabetes. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) analysis suggested that the fasting C peptide level of 300 pmol/L was optimal for determining beta cell function failure with sensitivity of 90.5% and specificity of 86.9%.
Initial level of fasting C peptide is a good indicator for predicting beta cell function failure in GAD-Ab positive diabetic patients.
The WHO recommendation in 1999 on classification of diabetes is now based more and more on the etiological evidence, with autoimmunity being the most direct and measurable evidence ever since the standardized radioligand assays for islet autoantibodies have been esta blished [1]. So, more and more clinically diagnosed "type 2" diabetes has been re-classified as latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), a subtype of type 1 diabetes [2,3]. However, except for the etiology of diabetes, clinicians are paying more attention on the progression of beta cell function. Evidence from UKPDS, DCCT, and other studies has demonstrated that beta cell function decline is closely related with the all-sides glycemic control and the diabetic complications [4]. So, to make a distinction between the different destruction speed of beta cell function in autoimmune diabetes is important and LADA is specially proposed as a subtype for this reason. According to the diagnostic definition proposed by the Immunology of Diabetes Society (IDS), LADA is specially referred to patients over 30 years of age, positive for at least one islet autoantibodies, and not treated with insulin within the first 6 months after diagnosis [5]. So, the age (adult, over 30 years) and mode (latent, no need for insulin at the initial stage) of onset are regarded as discriminative factors for autoimmune diabetes. However, "latent" does not always "adult-onset", and patients with "latent autoimmune diabetes in the young (LADY)" was also put forward because of the relative slow progression [6].
Glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody (GAD-Ab) is the most widely used and the most valuable autoimmune markers in diagnosing autoimmune diabetes, especially for Chinese and adult-onset patients. [7,8]. Previous studies reported that GAD-Ab titer could help identify the heterogeneity of LADA patients with LADA-type 1 and LADA-type 2 diabetes [9,10]. But for juvenile- and adult-onset autoimmune diabetes, the status and the titer of GAD-Ab is not so helpful [11]. So, to address possible predictors of the discrepancy of beta cell loss, we have conducted a prospective study to characterize the difference of 527 cases of autoimmune diabetes, who have been followed closely and assessed serum C peptide levels repeatedly. Our results indicated that initial beta cell function was the most usefulmarker for differentiating beta cell failure tendency in autoimmune diabetes.
This study was carried out according to the Helsinki guidelines. All patients gave informed consent to participation in the study and the protocol was approved by the Research Ethics Committee in Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University. A total of 4,469 newly diagnosed patients who were hospitalized from July 2002 to July 2006 were screened for GAD-Ab; five hundred and twenty-seven patients with positive GAD-Ab were invited and agreed to participate in this study as they fulfilled the following criteria: (1) diabetes diagnosed according to the report of WHO in 1999; (2) disease duration less than one year; (3) GAD-Ab positive testing twice within one month. The disease onset was defined as the initial diagnosis of diabetes and disease duration was thus calculated.
All patients were treated according to the decision of individual physician and insulin or metformin were applied in accordance with the seriousness of the case and adjusted in line with blood glucose levels,other kinds of hypoglycemic agents including sulfonylureas and thiazolidinediones were not employed. Data from all patients, including age of onset, diabetes duration, body mass index (BMI), ketosis were collected. Serum was collected for measurement of HbA1c, islet autoantibodies and C peptide levels.
We have complied with the recommendations of the Declaration of Helsinki. This study was approved by the ethics committee of Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University and informed consent was obtained from all participants.
All these autoimmune diabetes were subdivided into two subtypes, that is the acute-onset T1DM and latent-onset LADA. Acute-onset autoimmune T1DM was defined by 1) Requirement of insulin therapy since diagnosis; + 2) positive GAD-Ab. Latent-onset LADA was defined by 1) No ketosis or ketoacidosis during the first 6 months after diagnosis; + 2) no requirement of insulin therapy during the first 6 months after diagnosis; + 3) positive GAD-Ab.
Serum was analyzed for the presence of GAD-Ab by highly sensitive and specific quantitative radioligand binding assay methods as reported previously [12]. Intra-assay and inter-assay coefficients of variation were 8.9% and 11.2% (n=5) respectively. The cut-off point of GAD-Ab index was determined according to the 99.5% upper limit of 188 healthy Chinese controls. The GAD-Ab index of 0.05 or higher was defined as positive.
DNA was isolated from peripheral blood leukocytes using the phenol–chloroform method [13]. The polymorphic second exons of DQA1, DQB1 were amplified using PCR. The HLA-DQA1 and -DQB1 types were defined by DNA analysis using polymerase chain reaction (sequencing-based typing). The frequencies of HLA-DQA1 and –DQB1 genes were tested; the susceptible and protective haplotypes were defined according to our previous report and HLA-DQA1*03-DQB1*0303, DQA1*05-DQB1*0201 and DQA1*03-DQB1*0401 are susceptible to type 1 diabetes, and HLA- DQA1*0102-DQB1*0602 is protective haplotypes [7].
Beta cell function was assessed in all patients in two ways: 1) fasting plasma C-peptide (FCP) concentration; 2) postprandial C-peptide (PCP): Sera were determined 2 h after a mixed meal (with about 400 cal). C-peptide levels were measured at the time of initial inclusion (after glucotoxicity had been removed) and during the follow-up.
Beta cell function failure was defined as FCP and PCP levels less than 100 pmol/L and 150 pmol/L respectively, and the initial beta cell function was defined as preserved (B+) if FCP level was higher than 300 pmol/L or PCP level higher than 600 pmol/L, and those whose C peptide levels could not meet the above criteria were defined as B-. These cutoff values are determined according to the results previously reported to differentiate normal subjects, type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients [14].
The statistical analysis was done with SPSS 16.0 software. Data were shown by means ± SD or as indicated. ANOVA was used to assess differences in continuous variables (age, age at diagnosis, HbA1c on admission, BMI, HbA1c, C-peptide levels). When this test indicated that there were significant differences between groups, pair-wise comparisons were made to identify those differences. Chi-square test was used in comparison of classification data. All significance tests were performed as P-value less than 0.05 and were two-tailed.
Among all the 527 cases of autoimmune diabetes, the mean age was 39.1±19.1 yr, 54.6% were males, with the mean duration of 8.3±1.7 months,and all patients were newly onset diabetes with duration less than one year. One hundred and seventy-eight cases were defined as beta cell function failure (FCP and PCP levels less than 100 pmol/L and 150 pmol/L respectively) at the beginning of the study and thus were not followed up. Forty-nine patients descended to beta cell failure when followed up for 12 months and 24 failure patients at 24 months, 14 at 36 months, 17 at 48 months. Altogether, 104 patients developed beta cell function failure during the 48 months' follow up.
We tested whether patients in T1DM and LADA had disparate progression of beta cell function. Among all the 258 T1DM cases, 216 patients developed beta cell failure at the onset or during follow-up of the study, with the proportion of 83.7%; while for LADA patients, 24.5% developed beta cell failure at the onset or during follow-up of the study.
All the autoimmune diabetic patients were divided into three subgroups according to their distinct outcomes of beta cell function, patients with beta cell function failure at the onset of the disease (group 1); patients who developed beta cell function failure during the follow-up (group 2); patients who did not develop beta cell function failure during the follow-up (group 3). The clinical features of three subgroups were listed in Table 1. Patients in group 1 had the highest frequency of HLA-DQ susceptible haplotypes, while the most frequency of protective haplotypes was found in group 3, which suggested the HLA-DQ gene susceptibility present a continuous spectrum in patients with different beta cell function. Compared with patients who had beta cell function failure (group 1 + group 2), those who did not develop beta cell function failure had later age of onset, less frequency of kenosis-prone diabetes, lower titer of GAD-Ab, and higher FCP levels. The clinical features of those who had beta cell failure at the onset stage and patients who developed beta cell function failure later were similar in onset age, ketosis tendency, HbA1c level, however, the serum FCP levels were significantly different in two groups.
To evaluate the possible risk factors contributing to the development of beta cell failure, multivariate analysis and a Cox regression analysis was performed (age of onset, diabetes duration, frequency of ketosis, BMI, initial fasting C peptide, GAD-Ab titer, HLA-DQ haplotypes were analyzed as inclusive factors). Multivariate analysis showed that age of onset, the frequency of ketosis, BMI and FCP levels were significantly correlated with distinct outcomes of beta cell function. Subsequently, the results of Cox regression analysis revealed that influencing factor included FCP levels, age of onset and BMI, with the largest coefficient of determination (0.89) for initial FCP levels.
The natural tendency of C peptide levels during the follow-up was shown in Figure 1. The fasting C peptide levels in other two groups with different ending of beta cell function were dramatically different (178 patients with beta cell failure were not followed up). The above results suggested that initial FCP levels were closely related with the prognosis of beta cell function in autoimmune diabetes.
The above results suggested that initial FCP levels maybe the promising predictor of possible beta cell function failure. We arbitrarily defined better preservation of beta cell function (B+) when the FCP levels were more than 300 pmol/L and worse beta cell function (B-) when FCP were less than 300 pmol/L. Follow-up study showed that a dramatic difference of beta cell function was found, 13.1% in B+ group while 90.5% in B- group progressed to beta cell function failure. Considering the proportion of 83.7% in T1DM and 24.5% in LADA progressed to beta cell failure, the results showed that initial serum FCP level made a better distinction of the heterogeneity in autoimmune diabetes than WHO recommendation with LADA sub-typing.
We then tested the optimal FCP levels in defining better or worse beta cell function preservation. ROC analysis found that the FCP level of 300 pmol/L was optimal (Figure 2), with sensitivity of 90.5% and specificity of 86.9% for determining beta cell function failure. The sensitivity and specificity of FCP level of 200 pmol/L and 400 pmol/L were 96.3%, 80.7%, 78.6% and 87.9% respectively.
Islet beta cell function plays an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus, and the destiny of beta cell function failure leads to the uncontrollable hyperglycemia in long term and diabetic complications. From the patients' point of view, it is of highest priority to find factors for the discrimination of beta cell function course. For autoimmune diabetes, beta cell function failure is more apparent as the immunity mediated beta cell destruction [15]. However, the heterogeneous tempo of beta cell function failure in autoimmune diabetes was recognized and LADA is subdivided specially [16,17]. However, the arbitrary classification scheme using onset age to categorize the heterogeneity of autoimmune diabetes has some limitations; 1) the confirmation of the exact onset age is not so certain, 2) the onset age is a continuous parameter, the optimal cut off point is undecided [18], 3) the term "latent" in LADA could not be reflected by the "late onset" [19], classical type 1 diabetes in adults is common, and "young onset" could also be "latent".
So, we aimed to investigate whether initial C peptide levels is useful marker for differentiating variation of C peptide decay rate. There were three different outcomes of beta cell function progression, that is, beta cell function failure at the onset of the disease, failure during the follow-up and no failure during the follow-up, and initial fasting C peptide levels was dramatically different in patients with distinct progressive endings of beta cell function. So, we proposed that the disparate outcomes of beta cell function in autoimmune diabetes could be better discriminated by initial FCP levels. When defined beta cell function as B+ or B- by FCP level of 300 pmol/L, we found 13.1% in B+ group while 90.5% in B- group progressed to beta cell function failure. So, initial FCP levels made a better distinction of the heterogeneity in autoimmune diabetes with the sensitivity of 90.5% and specificity of 86.9%.
Positive islet autoantibodies in autoimmune diabetes patients are thought to indicate a progressive autoimmune disease in the beta cells associated with a gradual decrease in insulin secretion. So, islet autoantibodies (A) was applied as one marker to dissect the heterogeneity of ketosis prone diabetes by Maldonado et al., beta cell function (B) was also used, and four different combination of AB groups with diverse clinical features were found. Therefore, the classification scheme using A (autoantibody) and B (beta cell function) was proposed in discriminating ketosis-prone diabetes [20].
For antibody positive autoimmune diabetes, it is likely that the beta cell destruction continues after diagnosis, with varying rate until the beta cells are depleted [21,22]. C-peptide levels at diagnosis, age, gender, titer of GAD-Ab, degree of obesity and puberty, and levels of HbA1c are factors reported to influence beta cell function after diagnosis [23]. In our study, we found that initial beta cell function reflected by fasting C peptide levels might be a good marker for dissection the heterogeneity of autoimmune diabetes. The possible reasons are, 1) the value of FCP levels had a higher sensitivity and specificity in predicting beta cell failure; 2) initial C peptide levels could be a mixed reflection of age onset, predisposing genes, the extent of insulin resistance and insulin deficiency. Consistently, Thunander M et al. followed LADA patients for three years, and determined beta-cell function with early insulin vs conventional treatment, and found only baseline level of C-peptide significantly influenced C-peptide level after 3 years [24]. Other study reported that initial C-peptide is a predicting factor for effectiveness of insulin intervention for LADA [25]. For GAD-Ab positive LADA patients (without classical type 1 diabetes), the same trend of C-peptide declining curve in patients with different initial C-peptide levels, as shown in our Figure 1, had been also reported [26]. So, the use of initial beta cell function may have important implications in predicting the prognosis of autoimmune diabetes.
Based on this study, we conclude that initial level of fasting C peptide, instead of age and mode of onset, is a better criterion for predicting beta cell function failure in GAD-Ab positive autoimmune diabetes.

HEAVENER — It was a great start to the district season for the Heavener High School soccer teams Tuesday at Harvey Stadium.
The Lady Wolves had the more thrilling game of the doubleheader as they had to go into a shootout before getting past Porter Consolidated 3-2.
On the other hand, the Wolves were no match for the Hugo Buffaloes as they won handedly 6-1.
After the Heavener teams entertained Mena, Ark., Wednesday at Harvey Stadium, the Wolves will play in the Stilwell Tournament today and Friday. The Wolves will meet Wagoner at 2 p.m. this afternoon to begin the two-day event.
Archery in the Schools State Tournament was this week. Wister School had three teams that went to Oklahoma City to compete against 21 other teams in their division. The high school team is back again after several years of success, including a third-place finish last year. They have many successful shooters on the team, and are hoping for another good showing at the state level.
CAMERON — The Heavener Wolves traveled to Cameron for a road game Monday evening, but could only plate a run in the contest, getting stung by the Yellowjackets by a score of 9-1.
WISTER — In a true pitcher's duel, Wister's Tyler Gibson outdueled Spiro's Tyler Didway as the Wildcats blanked the Bulldogs 2-0 Monday afternoon in a rematch of last year's LeFlore County Tournament championship game — which was won by the 'Dogs 4-1.
Gibson struck out 12 batters and scattered three hits.
The 'Cats got an RBI double by Dalton Brown in the second inning and an RBI double by Jon Watts in the third inning to produce the game's only runs.
WISTER — The good news was that the Wister Lady Wildcats got a win Monday afternoon, knocking off the Howe Lady Lions 11-3.
However, the bad news was both local teams suffered losses to the Red Oak Lady Eagles. Red Oak defeated Howe 10-2, while beating Wister 12-0.
Cameron 6, McCurtain 4; Keota 18, Cameron 0: In Cameron, the Lady Yellowjackets split their two games in Monday's home three-way.
No more information was reported on the games.
Muldrow 8, Spiro 2: In Spiro, the loss dropped the Lady Bulldogs to 2-3 on the season. No more information was available.
McALESTER — The Poteau Lady Pirates golf team was third at Monday's McAlester Invitational.
Two Lady Pirates were medalists as Hannah Ward was runner-up medalist with a 79, while Addie Guthrie was eighth-place medalist with a 92.
Oktaha's Kailey Campbell was the top medalist on the day.
Cathleen Manlove had a 96, while Heather Robinson carded a 129.
The Lady Pirates will return to action today at the Oktaha Invitational, which will begin at 9 a.m.
LeFlore County will have at least one basketball All-Stater this season. Talihina's Landry James was named to the Small East team for the 2012 Oklahoma Girls Basketball Coaches Association All-State Games, which will be June 2 at Southwestern Oklahoma State University in Weatherford.
"I couldn't be happier for her," Talihina Girls Coach Jeff Oliver said. "I thought one of the three (James, Krissy Houston and Chelsea Baggs) had a shot. At the tryouts, Landry just shined. I'm thrilled to death for her."
Nominations are currently being accepted for the 2012 Poteau High School Sports Hall of Fame.
Categories include: football, boys and girls basketball, baseball, fast-pitch and slow-pitch softball, boys and girls soccer, boys and girls track, boys and girls golf, boys and girls cross country, boys and girls all-around athlete, wrestling, coaching and support and service.
The deadline to submit nominations is Friday.

King Abdullah Financial District
The King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD) is a new development under construction near King Fahad Road in the Asahafa area of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia[1][2] being undertaken by the Rayadah Investment Corporation[3] on behalf of the Pension Authority of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, consisting of 59 towers in an area of 1.6 million square metres. It will provide more than 3 million square metres of space for various uses, 62,000 parking spaces and accommodation for 12,000 residents. In 2011 it was the largest project in the world seeking green building accreditation.[4] Bombardier won a $241m USD contract to build an automated monorail for the development.[5][6] The district is designed to keep it isolated from close contact with the strictly monitored Riyadh society.[7] The design guidelines do not separate the sexes in the district.[7] The KAFD master plan was designed and overseen by Danish Architects Henning Larsen Henning Larsen Architects.
The project is estimated to cost 29 billion Saudi riyals ($7.8 billion).[8]

"Interesting story, wooden characters"
I almost gave this 4 stars. Interesting well paced story that creates a vivid picture of a very exotic and little known area and its inhabitants in India. My problem with this book was the characters; they just really never come to life. If the backdrop is enough for you, then you'll enjoy this book. If you want engaging characters, this comes up short.
"A good story"
I listened to this book after once attempting to read the hard cover version. As with the actual book, I was very bored early on and it wasn't easy to get into the story. But give it time. The author tells a great tale, and I learned a lot about the Sunderbans too. As an Indian American, I can relate a lot to the main character, Pia. A nice read.
"loved it"
I enjoyed the text of the geography and the spirit of the characters. I would read it again.
"Just beautiful"
Amitava Ghosh's writing is sublime and nuanced, and Firdous Bamji gets Ghosh. What more can I say? It is a beautiful book, and a beautiful audio rendition.
"can't finish it"
I made it 3/4 through, and I'm giving up, can't stay interested. Not a bad reader, but the story doesn't make progress.
"Not a favorite for me"
I am obviously in the minority here, but this story just never went anywhere for me. I never could relate to the characters. I felt like they were contrived and unbelievable. I love stories about different parts of the world, and this one certainly took me to a place I never knew existed. But I'd probably never want to go there, having read about it -- even with these super-rare dolphins that the main character has given up everything in her life for.
"Lyrical prose and intriguing locale"
I love Ghosh's writing. The major characters have interesting, sometimes mysterious backgrounds. No superficial cliches. The rural island location is also a major force in the story-line.
This story features cultural friction in an isolated island community: the American scientist (of Indian heritage) come to India, the sophisticated urban Indian returning to his roots, the activist intellectual couple who came to the country side and handle their new lives in very different ways, and the sometimes non-English-speaking locals whose life and community are being encroached upon by outsiders.
I have a weakness for narators who can handle multiple accents with aplomb. He also brought out the beauty of the prose.
"Please let me know"
If anyone makes it to the end of this book, please let me know if anything ever happens! The reader was so good that he made it SOUND like something was or would happen, but I sure didn't get to that far, if it did.
"So So"
First of all the narration is excellent. The idea of the book is also good. However, the story is not that interesting and the character of Piya is both annoying and unconvincing. The author has her spouting out speeches instead of real dialogue.
"Gloriously entertaining"
What can I say except this author makes words become people, color, animals, poetry and sweeps you along breathlessly waiting to see what will happen next. I rank this as one of my favorites and will listen to it again as soon as I can come out of its spell.

Nike signs skier Heidi Kloser as ambassador for Olympic program
Published April 7, 2014, Page 10
An injury during a practice run kept Kloser from competing in the Sochi Games.
An announcement is expected this week.
Sara Blasing, director of North America communications and running and women's training at Nike, declined to comment on the contract but did say, "We look forward to our relationship with Heidi and celebrating her future successes."
Kloser, 21, from Vail, Colo., was considered a medal contender entering the Sochi Games but she tore knee ligaments and broke her femur during a practice run on Feb. 6, the day before the opening ceremony. That ended her medal aspirations and led her to question if she was still an Olympian — a question that was highlighted by Liberty Mutual Insurance in a TV ad that featured Kloser and her parents (with her mother answering "Yes, honey; absolutely") as part of that company's "Rise" campaign during the Olympics.
"The Liberty Mutual ad during the Olympics reached millions and made her a household name, which is rare for the sport of mogul skiing, as alpine athletes typically take the spotlight," Alamo said.
Alamo noted how two brand-name companies have now aligned with Kloser despite the fact she has yet to officially compete in an Olympics let alone stand on a podium.
"I think what this is showing is the future of sports marketing," Alamo said. "It's about what people can relate to. [You] see all the time an athlete doing something so outlandish or so over-the-top the general public can't really relate to it, but everybody can relate to when Heidi asked her parents in the ambulance in Sochi, Russia: 'Am I still an Olympian?' Everybody felt that."
Kloser underwent surgery roughly three weeks ago and is currently able to ride a stationary bike and put a limited amount of weight on her leg.

Somebody once told me "Work like an Ace and party like a King." I try to keep that in mind as much as possible. I love what I do. It fulfills me creatively. I also love to go out, hang out and be with those I love. Balance is the key. I've been in the entertainment industry for 15 years. I currently run an animated TV show for Dreamworks. I'm a kid at heart. If I'm not really cracking up at least a few times a day, then something is terribly wrong. So I laugh...a lot. . I'm looking for someone to be silly with, romantic with, fun, FUNNY, who challenges me with her wit and fills me with her heart. Also, she has understand my passion for the Pittsburgh Steelers. I grew up there, so it's deep within me.. I'm very close with my family. My mom passed away in 2001. We were great friends. I think about her all the time, but know she is around. My dad, sister and I are very close. I'm a family kind of guy. I also have a great group of friends. Quality individuals - I think. Browsing on a dating site is great, but there is nothing like sitting face to face with someone to know if there's a spark. That's what really interests me. So, don't be shy. Let's get together and see what happens! Worst case scenario, we meet a new friend. Oh, and I adore my dog, so she would have to give her stamp of approval. But it's a pretty easy interview process.

I tend not to read a ton because I write for a living and by the time I get home, I'm ready to veg. Plus, I often have to read scripts at night, so my casual reading goes out the window.
