Those on the conventional right incessantly lament the ignorance of history from which younger generations of Americans suffer. While it is true that Americans appear to know frighteningly little about their country's past, perhaps this has something to do with the abuse to which the concept of history has been subjected.
The very concept of "history" is in an abysmal condition of neglect. For this, partisans from across the political spectrum are to blame. Much more frequently than not, when those on both the right and the left advocate the teaching of "history," it isn't a distinct, autonomous line of inquiry or discipline to which they want people exposed; rather, what they champion is the promotion of their respective political-moral visions under the guise of "history." That this is so is readily born out by the titles of some of the more popular contemporary "history" books: A People's History of America; The Last Best Hope; The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History; A Patriot's History of The United States, etc.

If you're looking for the sharpest edge possible we recommend our leather bench strops. We have found nothing puts that final edge on a knife better than a leather strop.
Our 10" Leather Bench Mountable Strop either our firm smooth leather or our suede leather. Each of these leathers accept honing compound. We recommend our Green Honing Compound.
The leather strop isn't new to sharpening but it is still confusing to some. Like a razor strop, the bench strop is used to put a very fine edge on your blade. Barbers have been using leather razor strops for decades to keep an extremely sharp edge on their straight razors. The razor strop is an essential tool for any barber or anyone needing to keep a straight razor sharp enough to shave with. While a razor strop can be used to sharpen a traditional knife, it just isn't the right tool for the job. For putting the final edge on tools and knives, we recommend a Bench Strop. After sharpening your knife or tool on a bench stone, we recommend finishing it off with a bench strop for an extremely sharp edge. Just think of this strop as your finest stone.
The leather area on our 10" Leather Bench Mountable Strop measures 10" x 2" in size. The total length of the strop is 13". We've designed it to be securely mounted to a bench with screws (screws not included).
Strops can be made with smooth leather (grain side) or suede leather (flesh side). When deciding which one to carry we had to consider not only our own preferences but also the preferences of others for woodworking tools, carving tools, and knife sharpening. We even put them to a performance test and in the end, either one worked great. Instead of just carrying one type, we decided to carry both.
Smooth - The smooth leather option is a very firm piece of leather. This leather is selected specifically for the smooth side only. If the leather is too hard, it just doesn't doesn't work well and doesn't accept compound well. If the leather is too soft, it doesn't produce as fine of an edge and won't hold up. This leather is more durable than the soft.
Suede - The suede side uses the opposite side of the leather (it is technically called the flesh side). The leather we use is selected for its flesh side properties. This leather is different leather than our smooth side leather. In our research, the leather that makes a good suede side is different than the leather that makes a good smooth side. Our suede leather is a little softer than the smooth leather. The suede leather accepts compound very readily.
Made with pride in the USA.
Q. Do you recommend using a compound on the strop?
A. Yes, we highly recommend a compound. Our Green Honing Compound will quickly put a fine polish on the edge of knives and tools.

(Example:"Panda AdminSecure", "2093 error") Tweet How to reset the Systems Management agent ID in cloned machines Information applies to: Products Systems ManagementSituation Companies tend to use system cloning: that is, they create an image of the system and install it on X computers.A unique agent identifier (ID) is generated every time PCSM is installed. So, if an image of a system with PCSM installed is created, the image will also include the agent identifier.Thus, if systems are cloned using that image, only one device will be shown on the console as all of them will have the same agent ID.ResolutionIn order to reset the PCSM agent ID in a cloned computer, proceed as follows:Install the agent (downloaded from the console using the desired profile), if it's not previously installed. The machine must be connected to the internet to get installed.After the machine is shown in the console, disconnect the machine from the network or the Internet.In the local machine, remove the registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\CentraStage. Remove this entire key along with anything that is inside it. This way the first time the Systems Management agent connects to the Internet, it will find that no key is present and generate a fresh new device ID ensuring that all of your devices report back uniquely.These steps will ensure that the cloned computer has a unique ID.Help nº- 20141010 300116 EN Help us improve our service by letting us know your opinion.

WOONSOCKET — Mount St. Charles head coach Jessica Shiel would have liked to celebrate a pair of triumphs on Tuesday night.
First, she hoped her squad would pull out a win over Division II-North foe Lincoln, then turn her attention to how much money the Mounties had raised during its first ever "Pink-Out" contest, with all proceeds from the gate and T-shirt sales going directly to the Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
She succeeded in the latter, as MSC collected approximately $450, 150 more than she had hoped. As for the former, the Lions survived a late Mounties' flurry and bused home with a wildly-exciting 58-54 victory.
In the end, senior tri-captain Emily Bouthillette calmly netted a pair of free throws with 8.5 ticks left in regulation to ensure the verdict, and Lincoln improved to 8-9 overall and 6-6 in league play.
"It was a great, great game; I thought we matched up very well with them," Shiel grinned after her club fell to 5-8 overall and 4-8 in III-North. "Our defensive intensity is what keeps us in most games, and we certainly showed that again here. I have great, athletic girls, but they just proved to have a little too much down the stretch.
"We didn't communicate as well as we should've in the final minute," she added. "We missed a couple of big screens they threw at us, and one turned out to be the last foul (to Bouthillette) … As for the 'Pink-Out,' that definitely was a success. I'm very excited about that (amount). I hope to do this every year. Mount St. Charles is very good at giving back to the community, and our basketball program is always looking to give back any way we can."
Bouthillette led all scorers with 20 points, while junior point guard Casie Beauchemin chipped in 19 and classmate Shirley Carrington seven.
As for the Mount, senior Emily Georgeu (who was playing against her sister, freshman Maddie) closed with 19 points and six steals, while junior swing Noreen Mulledy mustered a "double-double" with 14 points and 10 rebounds and sophomore center Tori Dill four points and seven boards.
Shiel's crew had trailed Lincoln 47-36 with 9:09 left on the clock, but forged a phenomenal run while forcing the Lions into at least six of their total 23 turnovers. Mulledy landed a trey and senior Kayla Salley threw up a one-handed prayer to slice the lead to 47-41 with 7:51 remaining.
Just 3:52 later, senior Carissa Gould canned a short jumper on a superb out-of-bounds save by Mulledy to cut it to 48-46.
All told, in the span of 4:40, MSC had manufactured a 10-1 flurry.
Three more times over the final 3:59, the Mounties knifed the visitors' lead to two, the last when Emily Georgeu drained a baseline 10-footer with 27.4 seconds left; that made it 56-54, but Mulledy fouled Beauchemin on an inbounds pass, and that set up her dramatic foul shots.
In the opening session, Lincoln took advantage of a number of Mount turnovers (18 in the first half alone, 26 total) to gain a 20-8 cushion on a Bouthillette's two from the charity stripe. MSC, though, battled back, eventually cutting the deficit to 24-21 after Emily Georgeu netted one of two free throws with 2:22 left.
At that point, the hosts had notched a 13-4 surge in 6:39. Bouthillette, however, hit a putback and a turnaround jumper in the last 20.7 seconds (the final bucket with 0.4 ticks left, to gain the 32-25 advantage at the break.

The Value of a DIT in Today's Digital WorkflowWednesday, June 15th, 2011
File-based work flows in video production have presented an incredible amount of benefits to the overall production process, but they have also demanded that video producers/directors reshape the way they move from production into post-production, and finally, to delivery. One of the key members of a tapeless video crew is the DIT, or Digital Imaging Technician. This individual, depending on the size of the shoot, is responsible for many things, but in my opinion, the most important function of the DIT is managing all of the assets while on location. This means taking the memory cards from the DP or camera assistant and transferring them over to hard drives. Once on the hard drives, a DIT will usually back up those files to a redundant drive and ensure that everything transferred correctly before re-formatting the cards for use again on the set. In addition, a DIT will prep each file for use in post-production and will prepare dailies for the director and the client to review.
For projects with smaller budgets, it may be tempting to forego the services of a DIT and simply let the director, DP, or a production assistant handle the duties of a DIT. Although this approach works, consider the side effects of this approach:
- Using the director and/or DP to handle this job could slow down the pace of the shoot considerably. Once the cards are full, the director or DP must stop work, start transferring footage, wait for that footage to be transferred, confirm the transfer, reformat the cards, then return to the set. A DIT can handle all of this while the director and/or DP continue their work of shooting, setting up for the next shot, or working with the client and/or talent. This maintains a good work flow throughout the day and ensures that everything stays on schedule.
- Using a production assistant as a DIT means assigning a less experienced person to do the job. An experienced DIT knows the equipment, knows exactly what he/she is doing, and can properly communicate with the director/DP.
So, even for those shoots that have smaller crews, a good DIT is a valuable asset to the team. However, with the ever-increasing capacity of memory cards, and the ever-decreasing cost of those memory cards, it will become easier for small ENG crews to spend an entire day shooting to memory cards, without ever having the need to transfer and reformat. All of the cards can simply be stored until the end of the day, then transferred at night, and used again the following day. But if the production turn-around is extremely tight, it may be in the producer's best interest to hire a DIT and allow him/her to transfer all the footage during the course of the day, start prepping for post, and begin work on a rough edit. This will save a lot of time and will allow the producer to get the final video out to the client much quicker.
Ultimately, the use of the DIT depends on the situation, but don't underestimate the value of that position in the ever-increasing world of tapeless video production.

Archive for the 'Linton G. Bartlett' tag
Solid tires and Two-Way Drive: It's the SuperTruck!
When it came rumbling onto the showfield Saturday morning, everybody stopped. Big, solid-tired trucks are nothing new for the AACA's Eastern Division National Fall Meet show, better known as Hershey, but this unannounced hulk, carrying enough equipment on its back to pave its own road and wearing wheels that looked like they came off a circus wagon, was unlike anything even the most seasoned collector car veterans in attendance had seen.
Fittingly, it's called the SuperTruck. A product of the O'Connell Motor Truck Company of Waukegan, Illinois, which was founded in 1917, the SuperTruck boasted an unusual feature called Two-Way Drive that allowed the driver to operate the vehicle facing either forward or backward – certainly beneficial when trying to wrangle behemoth three-ton trucks into construction sites sans power steering. Two-Way Drive was apparently the invention of one Linton G. Bartlett of Waukegan, a bicycle shop owner and inventor who also patented a hybrid gas-electric truck in 1940 and wheels that would allow a truck to drive on both road and rail in 1931; Bartlett assigned at least a couple of his patents to O'Connell, leading us to believe that he may have worked for the company.
According to Albert Mroz's Illustrated Encyclopedia of American Trucks and Commercial Vehicles, O'Connell built SuperTrucks on chassis from 2-1/2 tons up to 7-1/2 tons from 1919 to 1936. Donated to the AACA Museum by Judith Stager of Ridgeway, Pennsylvania, the 1923 SuperTruck in attendance at Hershey is a 3-1/2-ton Model 70D fitted with a dump bed and accessorized with a cement mixer and Air Machine. Powering the beast is a Wisconsin 28.9hp four-cylinder gas engine.

A new effort to hand control over the Internet to the United Nations is underway as oppressive regimes such as the communist dictatorship ruling mainland China clamor for more censorship and regulation of the World Wide Web.
The Obama administration has remained silent so far, having failed to even select a leader to defend U.S. interests at upcoming talks on the subject. But critics of the global move are already striking back, warning that transferring Internet governance to the UN would be a massive blow to freedom and prosperity for the whole planet.
Today, the online world is largely governed and regulated by a decentralized network of non-profit groups, most of which are based in America where the Internet was born. And private-sector interests — companies such as Google, Facebook, and others — still dominate the web at present.
The "multi-stakeholder" approach, as it is known, has kept the Internet free in most of the world for over a decade while revolutionizing business, information, communications, and even civilization itself. But all of that could change soon, at least if despots of various varieties — from communists in Beijing to Islamists in Tehran — get their way.
Later this month in Geneva, Switzerland, governments will gather to begin negotiations on a potential treaty that could crush the free flow of information online, according to experts. The diplomatic process will help lay the foundation for the upcoming "World Conference on International Telecommunications" in Dubai at the end of the year.

Action Pack
TOMMY BOY Quote-Along
|Peter Segal
|Chris Farley, David Spade and Brian Dennehy
|Run Time
|Age Policy
18 and up; Children 6 and up will be allowed only with a parent guardian. No children under the age of 6 will be allowed.
|More Info
As part of the Alamo 100, this screening will feature free collectible TOMMY BOY pins while supplies last.
It's been more than sixteen years since Chris Farley passed away, and yet I find myself still quoting him on an almost daily basis. Whether I'm opening my fridge ("You could put a six pack of b... soda in here.") or reaching for a dinner roll ("You're naughty!"), the spirit of Chris Farley remains alive and well in my vernacular.
Sure, I've seen other comedies since TOMMY BOY was first released in 1995, but none of them have managed to oust the words of Tommy Callahan Jr., adorably idiotic man child, from the top of my vocabulary. And then there's the deliciously deadpan wit of David Spade, who plays Richard, Tommy's coworker and reluctant babysitter. If mockery is a science, then Richard's jibes at Tommy ("Did I catch a niner in there? Were you calling from a walkie talkie?") should have earned him the Nobel Prize.
Together, Spade and Farley made up one of the most hilarious duos in the history of cinema, and we'll celebrate them at this special Action Pack screening by quoting along with all of our favorite lines, i.e. basically the entire movie. Join us for a night of cow tipping, maniac dancing and deer that aren't quite dead. And fat guys, don't forget your little coats! (Sarah Pitre)

Patch has entry of new file but why is it deleting it from the new_dir also?I want that this new file should be copied in the old_dir.How can i do this?Am i missing some switch in diff or patch ?

World Record carver craves 'the gnarliest and the nastiest pumpkins'
SPRINGFIELD, Ore. - Scott Cully is known around the globe but calls Eugene his home. He also holds the Guinness Book Record for creating the world's largest jack-o'-lantern, weighing more than 1,800 pounds.
Cully's idea of the perfect pumpkin is a little different that what most people might think. "I like the pumpkins that are the gnarliest and the nastiest pumpkins," he said, "big bulges hanging off one side and twisted. The last thing I want is a beautiful, smooth, symmetrical-shaped pumpkin."
A few weeks before Halloween, the former pumpkin farmer put on a show for visitors at the Gateway Mall in Springfield as part of a Sheltercare fundraiser to raise money for the homeless in Lane County.
Carving pumpkins definitely isn't as easy as this record-breaker makes it look. Cully described the careful engineering of carving a pumpkin: one wrong cut can make the whole thing collapse on itself.
"You have all the weight pushing down, that's a problem. To amplify the problem, I'm taking huge pieces out of it," he said.
So like any sturdy structure, Cully said his creation needs spaced-out "support columns" to hold the weight: "So now the weight has to be transferred to vertical columns in the carbon that have to be left."
Cully has a few tips for people making their own pumpkin masterpieces.
"Cut the bottom out so you don't burn yourself lighting a candle inside," he said.
He doesn't take all the credit for himself, either.
Instead Cully said he's picked up some of his pumpkin tricks, like cutting out the bottom of a pumpkin instead of the top, from a few crafty celebrities. "Isn't that brilliant? It's Martha Stewart," he said while laughing. "Seriously, that's who taught me that!"
Families looked on as the world-renowned sculptor whittled away at the giant pumpkin sitting in Gateway Mall's Center Court. Big chunks of orange littered the floor around the artist who said he enjoys the "oohs" and "ahhs" from onlookers, but his real passion is to inspire the youngest to dream big.
"The lights go on in the kids eyes like, wow I could do this," he said.
Four-year-old Carissa Frahm came to the mall with her father to watch Cully's creation come to life.
"Look at his teeth!" She said wide-eyed with wonder. She goes on to explain why the pumpkin they already bought isn't big enough anymore. "We need to find a really big pumpkin," she said, pointing to the huge pumpkin being carved feet away. "One that size."

Egyptian cotton has the longest fibers. That is, when you pull the cotton from the cotton plant and remove the seeds and waxes, Egyptian cotton has longer fibers available for spinning into yarn than other cottons. When intertwining strands of yarn to make a larger product, long-staple cotton has fewer connection points, and therefore a greater percentage of area is the natural softness of the cotton.

Commissioned by a Habsburg archduchess and built by two of the most celebrated architects of the era, the twin Klotild palaces in Budapest mirrored the grandeur of the fin-de-sičcle Austro-Hungarian empire when they were completed in 1901.
But the 20th century, with its revolutions and two world wars, was unkind to these magnificent buildings and 100 years later they had lost much of their original splendour. A badly needed renovation has been carried out in the last decade and in early April the northern palace will finally reopen as a Buddha-Bar hotel.
The Parisian group's distinctive modern Asian style will be evident in 102 luxurious rooms and suites, a sky bar, a restaurant over two floors and a calming spa. The location couldn't be better – the palaces stand on either side of the famous shopping street Váci utca, in the very heart of Budapest, and many of the city's great attractions are within walking distance.

International Aquatic Certifications
Still confused about what international certifications are acceptable under the revised standards? The Bronze Medallion is no longer adequate certification for a lifeguard in ACA-accredited camps. According to the Royal Life Saving Society (RLSS) of the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada, the following RLSS certifications are appropriate for the given aquatic location:
Camps should be aware that while ACA recognizes certain international certifications, not all individual states do. Several states refuse to acknowledge any international aquatic certifications, while others simply require that a certain percentage of a camp's waterfront staff have U.S. certifications. Check with your local and state bathing codes.
Watercraft Supervisor Certification (*PA-20 and *PT-2)
A new option for meeting the standard for a watercraft supervisor, besides Instructor certification, is a new course from the American Red Cross called Small Craft Safety. ACA worked with the ARC to design the course, which includes craft-specific (i.e., canoe, kayak) instruction. If your local ARC chapter does not have information on the course, contact Karen Sivia at the ACA national office for contacts in your area who may have the course available.
First Aid Certifications
See the article "First Aid: What Training Do Camp Staff Need?" in this issue, which addresses some options for meeting the appropriate first aid certification level in camp and on trips (standard *HW-1).
In addition, first aiders are also required for many specialized program activities such as aquatics, adventure challenge activities, and horseback riding. Camps will need written evidence of certification or course completion from a nationally recognized provider (i.e., American Red Cross, National Safety Council, American Heart Association, etc.) to meet standards' requirements.
An updated list of which certifications meet standards requirements is found in the members area or call to receive a current list (765-342-8456, ext. 333). The list is updated as changes occur. If you have questions about a certification that is not listed, please contact the national office standards department.

great day in factorio, this time i properly got the auto research factory/lab set up. i build a big stone wall with laser turrets to defend the base, and i got some steel furnaces going.
a little side project i enjoyed. i tried to make a fully solar powered factory. on the left are all the solar panels, a little to the right are a ton of electric storage buildings that store excess electricity produced during the day(and release during the night), then further to the right the factory with electric furnaces this time. no longer need for any coal
i connected the solar powered iron plate producing factory to a train track which i setup to automatically transport iron from there to my mainbase, which are stored into chests again by grapling arms. works very well

Expiratory Muscle Training for Persons With Neurodegenerative Disease (EMST)

- How to Read a Study Record
Respiratory difficulty is one of the primary factors leading to death in patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD) and Multiple Sclerosis. Both diseases are progressive degenerating diseases that cause difficulties in breathing, airway protection and swallowing. Patients with PD and MS typically become sedentary and lose endurance, maximal fitness levels and overall pulmonary function. Much of the research focus has been on the motor symptoms of PD and MS yet the pulmonary and swallowing complications are perhaps ultimately the most important disability as the diseases progress. The inability to generate adequate respiratory pressure is responsible for reduced cough magnitudes and cough response times. Cough is critical for the clearance of foreign materials in the airway helping to reduce infiltration of bacteria and subsequent respiratory infection. With reduced cough function an increased risk for pulmonary disease occurs due to a reduced ability to protect the airways. There are a number of promising outcomes from an expiratory strength-training program. By increasing expiratory muscle strength and expiratory pressure generation, effective breathing, clearance of the airway, and improved swallowing can occur. These explicit outcomes are predicted based on our experience with the use of an innovative device-driven, home-based expiratory strength training program focused on the expiratory muscles of respiration. This project focuses on following patients with PD and MS for an initial 5 weeks of strength training and them testing the outcome of a caregiver program for maintaining treatment effects.

Detailed Description:
The proposed investigation will:
Determine if 5 weeks of Expiratory Muscle Strength Training (EMST) increases maximal expiratory driving pressure (MEP) and improves swallow, cough and breathing function in individuals with PD and MS. Following the post assessment of the 5 week EMST program we will then evaluate three different modules for monitoring the continuation of the treatment while assessing patient quality of life and caregiver burden/satisfaction. This will help us determine if one particular home training method results in different physiological and functional outcomes.
Aim 1. Determine the effects of an EMST program on swallow function, voluntary cough production and breathing function in individuals with PD and MS identified as below normal limits for their age and sex (via physiological measures).
Hypothesis 1: There will significant and positive treatment effects following 5 weeks of EMST on the measures of swallow, cough production and breathing function in those with PD and MS following 5 weeks of treatment.
Aim 2: Determine the outcome of three uniquely structured home treatment monitoring programs in maintaining the EMST post treatment effect for patients with MS and PD. These programs are referred to as: Education Module (A), Question Only (B), and Education Module plus Question (C). The monitoring system will be provided by VitelNet, a leading provider of home health monitoring, clinician-based telemedicine Hypothesis 2: Program C will provide greater maintenance of the EMST treatment effect for both patient groups compared to programs A and B.
Aim 3: Determine the effects of the home monitoring programs for improving patient quality of life and caregiver burden/satisfaction.
Hypothesis 3: Program C will provide greater improvements in patient quality of life and caregiver burden compared to programs A and B.

No place to go? 'The vacancy rate for low-income people is under 1%'
EUGENE, Ore. – The people living in the SLEEPS protest camp would like to get off the streets.
They can't.
"You can't go in sleep-deprived, a huge pack, coming out of the rain and say, 'Hey I need a job!'" said protester Rusty Savage. "You know, it's just not going to happen."
Professionals who work with the homeless population agree.
"The only real emergency, immediate shelter available to anyone who needs it in this community is the Egan Warming Center, which is only available on a few really cold nights during the winter," said William Wise, director of First Place Family Center. "Everywhere else has waiting lists."
SKIP AHEAD: What do the protesters want? | What is the city doing?
Wise says it may take several years for a person who is homeless to obtain affordable housing on a waiting list. He added that it would likely take 2,000 new, affordable housing units to address the local demand.
Places where people living on the streets could go have limits to the number of people they can help.
For example, The Eugene Mission has capped the number of people it can house at 350 - and put in place prohibitions on drugs and alcohol.
"We're in a situation where there's not enough rentals and there's not enough jobs," Wise said. "The available vacancy rate for reasonably priced places for low-income people is under 1 percent."
Wise said the University of Oregon student population drives up the demand for housing - and that drives up rent.
Wise said Terry McDonald, director of St. Vincent DePaul, told him in a conversation recently, "If we we're to build another 2,000 affordable rooms for low-income people, it would almost completely solve the problem."
Wise agrees.
"We have to ask ourselves what kind of a world, what kind of a country, what kind of a community we want to live in. There are many places in the world that consider a place to sleep at night and basic medical care to be a normal human right."
"Rest Stops" proposal lacks support
A proposal to establish a small legal area for overnight camping for homeless people got a lukewarm reception from the community and homeless protesters Monday night.
The Eugene City Council proposal would establish "rest stops," where up to 15 people could sleep on a yet-to-be-designated site from dusk until dawn. Campers would have to leave at sunrise. The program would run for 90 days to see how it works.
The proposal was the latest city response to the SLEEPS protests. People affiliated with Safe Legally Entitled Emergency Places to Sleep, or SLEEPS, have been sleeping at a number of spots across the city and county. Some camps have been evicted, only to pop up across town - or across the street.
Eugene Mayor Kitty Piercy acknowledged in an interview Monday that there is some grey area in regards to legality of sleeping within city limits.
"Once it moves past protesting into actually setting up and living in a place, then they are breaking the camping ban," she said Monday.
When asked if that isn't what SLEEPS protesters are doing,
"Yes, except that the difference is that it's our property and we can exercise our rights to ask for eviction."
According to the Eugene Police Department, as of Monday, there aren't any active eviction notices.
What do the protesters want?
Amidst news reports of the camps, protests and evictions, many people continue to ask: What do the protesters want?
"To get resources, to get a place where people don't have to be on the streets," said Rusty Savage, one of the SLEEPS protesters. "We're setting up tents sitting here, soaked and drenched. And to not be criminalized for being homeless."
Savage said he worked at Venture Data in Eugene. He lost his job and became homeless, but not by choice.
"It's not easy, we are not being lazy," he said. "This is actually harder than living in a house and just driving back and forth to work."
When asked if he is putting effort into finding employment, Savage said, "Yeah! That's what we're trying to do."

The Danish diabetes giant continues to soar on North American sales of its modern insulins, in particular. As of November, the company had captured half of the total global insulin market and almost that much of the modern insulin market. Victoza, launched in 2010 for type 2 diabetes, saw meteoric growth in 2011 and became a blockbuster, but faces competition from Amylin's Bydureon and is weighing the development of a once-weekly version to fend off the challenge. The firm has high hopes for its thrice-weekly Degludec, a basal insulin that would take on Sanofi's $5-billion Lantus, and is exploring an obesity indication for Victoza, a possible gold mine. Now if only they could do something about Victoza spoke and bad press magnet Paula Deen.
