Kidney and Urologic Diseases
There are many organizations who provide support for patients and medical professionals. View the full list of Kidney and Urologic Disease Organizations. (PDF, 345 KB)
Diabetes insipidus (DI) is a rare disease that causes frequent urination. The large volume of urine is diluted, mostly water. To make up for lost water, a person with DI may feel the need to drink large amounts and is likely to urinate frequently, even at night, which can disrupt sleep and, on occasion, cause bedwetting. Because of the excretion of abnormally large volumes of dilute urine, people with DI may quickly become dehydrated if they do not drink enough water. Children with DI may be irritable or listless and may have fever, vomiting, or diarrhea. Milder forms of DI can be managed by drinking enough water, usually between 2 and 2.5 liters a day. DI severe enough to endanger a person's health is rare.
DI should not be confused with diabetes mellitus (DM), which results from insulin deficiency or resistance leading to high blood glucose, also called blood sugar. DI and DM are unrelated, although they can have similar signs and symptoms, like excessive thirst and excessive urination.
DM is far more common than DI and receives more news coverage. DM has two main forms, type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. DI is a different form of illness altogether.
The body has a complex system for balancing the volume and composition of body fluids. The kidneys remove extra body fluids from the bloodstream. These fluids are stored in the bladder as urine. If the fluid regulation system is working properly, the kidneys make less urine to conserve fluid when water intake is decreased or water is lost, for example, through sweating or diarrhea. The kidneys also make less urine at night when the body's metabolic processes are slower.
The hypothalamus makes antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which directs the kidneys to make less urine.
To keep the volume and composition of body fluids balanced, the rate of fluid intake is governed by thirst, and the rate of excretion is governed by the production of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also called vasopressin. This hormone is made in the hypothalamus, a small gland located in the brain. ADH is stored in the nearby pituitary gland and released into the bloodstream when necessary. When ADH reaches the kidneys, it directs them to concentrate the urine by reabsorbing some of the filtered water to the bloodstream and therefore make less urine. DI occurs when this precise system for regulating the kidneys' handling of fluids is disrupted.
The most common form of serious DI, central DI, results from damage to the pituitary gland, which disrupts the normal storage and release of ADH. Damage to the pituitary gland can be caused by different diseases as well as by head injuries, neurosurgery, or genetic disorders. To treat the ADH deficiency that results from any kind of damage to the hypothalamus or pituitary, a synthetic hormone called desmopressin can be taken by an injection, a nasal spray, or a pill. While taking desmopressin, a person should drink fluids only when thirsty and not at other times. The drug prevents water excretion, and water can build up now that the kidneys are making less urine and are less responsive to changes in body fluids.
Nephrogenic DI results when the kidneys are unable to respond to ADH. The kidneys' ability to respond to ADH can be impaired by drugs—like lithium, for example—and by chronic disorders including polycystic kidney disease, sickle cell disease, kidney failure, partial blockage of the ureters, and inherited genetic disorders. Sometimes the cause of nephrogenic DI is never discovered.
Desmopressin will not work for this form of DI. Instead, a person with nephrogenic DI may be given hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) or indomethacin. HCTZ is sometimes combined with another drug called amiloride. The combination of HCTZ and amiloride is sold under the brand name Moduretic. Again, with this combination of drugs, one should drink fluids only when thirsty and not at other times.
Dipsogenic DI is caused by a defect in or damage to the thirst mechanism, which is located in the hypothalamus. This defect results in an abnormal increase in thirst and fluid intake that suppresses ADH secretion and increases urine output. Desmopressin or other drugs should not be used to treat dipsogenic DI because they may decrease urine output but not thirst and fluid intake. This fluid overload can lead to water intoxication, a condition that lowers the concentration of sodium in the blood and can seriously damage the brain. Scientists have not yet found an effective treatment for dipsogenic DI.
Gestational DI occurs only during pregnancy and results when an enzyme made by the placenta destroys ADH in the mother. The placenta is the system of blood vessels and other tissue that develops with the fetus. The placenta allows exchange of nutrients and waste products between mother and fetus.
Most cases of gestational DI can be treated with desmopressin. In rare cases, however, an abnormality in the thirst mechanism causes gestational DI, and desmopressin should not be used.
Because DM is more common and because DM and DI have similar symptoms, a health care provider may suspect that a patient with DI has DM. But testing should make the diagnosis clear.
A doctor must determine which type of DI is involved before proper treatment can begin. Diagnosis is based on a series of tests, including urinalysis and a fluid deprivation test.
Urinalysis is the physical and chemical examination of urine. The urine of a person with DI will be less concentrated. Therefore, the salt and waste concentrations are low and the amount of water excreted is high. A physician evaluates the concentration of urine by measuring how many particles are in a kilogram of water or by comparing the weight of the urine with an equal volume of distilled water.
A fluid deprivation test helps determine whether DI is caused by one of the following:
This test measures changes in body weight, urine output, and urine composition when fluids are withheld. Sometimes measuring blood levels of ADH during this test is also necessary.
In some patients, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain may be necessary as well.
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) conducts and supports research into many kinds of kidney disease, including diabetes insipidus. NIDDK-supported researchers are exploring the cellular and molecular mechanisms that control fluid regulation in the body. These studies will point the way to more effective treatments for DI.
Participants in clinical trials can play a more active role in their own health care, gain access to new research treatments before they are widely available, and help others by contributing to medical research. For information about current studies, visit www.ClinicalTrials.gov.

|Two Charged in Tanger, Lenoir Thefts
|Written by Steve Frank
|Wednesday, 22 May 2013 07:14
Blowing Rock Police have charged two people this past weekend for felony larceny in an incident at Shoppes on the Parkway. Kristie Dawn McCrain, 40, and 48-year old Rodney Maurice Lutz, both of Hickory were charged with felony larceny, the arrests occurring Saturday after officers were
notified that two suspects had left the Coach Store at Tanger Outlets with merchandise that they had not paid for. A description of the suspects and a description of the vehicle they were driving was broadcast to law enforcement in the surrounding area, leading to a North Carolina State Trooper spotting the vehicle a short time later in Granite Falls. Trooper Milligan stopped the suspects in Granite Falls and notified Blowing Rock Police, and officer Dan White responded to the scene where a search of the vehicle revealed several thousand dollars in stolen merchandise from several stores in both Blowing Rock and Boone. White seized the vehicle and merchandise and took the two suspects into custody. McCrain and Lutz were both held in the Watauga County Jail under a $10,000 secured bond. Blowing Rock PD says the incident are still under investigation and more charges are expected.

The Mad, Mad, Mad World of Climatism: Mankind and Climate Change Mania, by Steve Goreham, New Lenox, Illinois: New Lenox Books, 2012, 301 pages, softcover.
With today's media drumbeat of impending catastrophes triggered by man's destructive effects on our climate, Steve Goreham's latest book certainly does add cognitive dissonance to the public square. This book forthrightly exposes the lack of scientific evidence for what Goreham calls the ideology of "Climatism" — the hypothesis of dangerous man-made climate change — with which Climatists try to justify all of their urgently promoted, but demonstrably misguided, policy initiatives.
After illustrating the worldwide extent of Climatism in the first two chapters of The Mad, Mad, Mad World of Climatism, Goreham soundly demonstrates that there is no scientific evidence supporting the hypothesis of dangerous man-made climate change. And therefore, climate change is not the existential threat to life on Earth, as fanatical proponents of Climatism want you to believe. But that's not all — in subsequent chapters, Goreham shows that the entire, fantastic structure of alleged consequences of man-made climate change is as flimsy as a house of cards, and that many opportunists promoting climate legislation have been profiting quite handsomely from the ideology of Climatism. With his straightforward and often humorous compilation of vital evidence exposing the flaws in Climatist arguments, Goreham, a scientist with an M.S. in Electrical Engineering, methodically dismantles Climatism, along with all the madness that Climatism has spawned.
Let's start our analysis where Goreham examines the faulty hypothesis of Climatism: the idea that man-made CO2 dangerously influences the climate. It is true that water vapor, CO2, methane, and other trace gases are known to exert a "greenhouse" warming effect upon the Earth. However, as CO2 increases, its greenhouse effect diminishes logarithmically, so that increasing levels of CO2 have a diminishing warming effect. He uses analogy to make his point:
Just as adding more blankets to the first blanket on your bed provides a diminishing warming benefit, adding more CO2 to the atmosphere has a declining warming effect. Doubling of atmospheric CO2 from 280 parts per million to 560 parts per million, whether from natural or man-made causes, would by itself increase Earth's surface temperature by only 1.2°C.

The work week is nearly over, so we are celebrating the WhoWhatWear.com way by presenting you with a fresh crop of trendsetting celebs in today's What Was She Wearing: Answers! Keep the requests (link to wwsw request page) coming and we'll happily investigate the style specifics of your favorite fashion muses all fall long (and then some)!
Peaches Geldof
The sisters Geldof are constantly on our fashion radar, so we take pleasure in briefing our curious readers with the details of the outfit Peaches wore to the Dublin airport earlier this month. Geldof perfectly demonstrated one of our vintage doctrines by keeping her ensemble at a 50/50 ratio of new and retro garments. She exuded glamour through one-of-a-kind pieces from the past, including a plaid shirt dress, burnt orange velvet coat, and black leather tote. Geldof modernized her outfit with Topshop's Basic Slouch Beanie Hat ($16), some casually chic Pied a Terre Buckle Boots (020 7730 3757), and a pair of heart-shaped sunglasses from a street vendor on St. Mark's Place in New York. You can put together a like-minded getup with IRO's Plaid Dress
($158), Juicy Couture's
¾ Sleeve Coat
($448), Dolce Vita's Zip Bold Booties
($238), and Urban Outfitters' Sweet Heart Sunglasses ($16). For a bag like Geldof's, try ASOS' Studded Across Body Bag ($27) or Leather Pyramid Stud Bag ($118).
Willa Holland
Based on the plethora of candid pictures that readers have been sending of Gossip Girl's impending cast member, Willa Holland, we suspect the newcomer is going to blend in seamlessly with the rest of the superbly dressed ensemble. Case in point: she recently filmed a scene in downtown Manhattan clothed in Natori's Sonia Chemise
($160), Joie's Amita Fitted Leather Hooded Jacket ($594), Christian Louboutin's Sigourney Heels ($1030), Rachel Leigh's Hippie Chic Necklace
($93), and a Lesa Wallace
Patent Leather Ricky Bag($407). We are quite taken with her entire look, but you can always take some pressure off of your pocket books by substituting her pieces for a Victoria's Secret Leather Motorcycle Jacket ($209), Spiegel's Front-Pocket Tote ($59), and Nine West's Yung Heels ($118). Also, her lacy Hue tights are unavailable online, but try Urban Outfitters' Sparkle & Fade Tights ($14) as stylish replacements!
Katie Holmes
We never tire of the laid-back, cool outfits that Katie Holmes wears to rehearsals for All My Sons in Manhattan. Just last week, she arrived at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre in Simone by Katie Nehra's Anthony Blouse ($119, 323.848.8183), Current/Elliott's Skinny Slouch Jeans ($216), and a pair of high-polish black leather Tod's Lulu Booties ($625, 212.644.5945). If you're wanting to save some dough, but don't want to sacrifice the overall look of the outfit, try White House Black Market's Ankle Booties ($118) as fitting alternatives.
Taylor Momsen
On another Gossip Girl-related note, we'd like to turn your attention to one much-discussed outfit that you spotted on Jenny Humphrey, aka Taylor Momsen. Seen here a few weeks ago shooting an upcoming scene, Momsen looked so cute that we nearly mistook her for Little Red Riding Hood. She conveyed the fall runway's plaid craze in D&G's Plaid Shirt Dress ($545), stayed warm in an Accessory Street Shawl ($70, 212.352.0856) from Loehman's, and completed her costume in Nine West's Cuzza Booties ($110). If you don't have a Loehman's in your city, try Diane Von Furstenberg's Hoxter Sweater Coat ($595) as an equally-snug piece of outerwear! You can also trade Momsen's dress for BDG's Fitted Buffalo Plaid Tunic ($58), or Forever 21's Gingham Buttoned Dress ($23).-Jessica Amento

|KADA kids do last show of the school year
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Tuesday, 08 May 2007 03:38
KADA kids are performing their last show of the school year at Banner Elk Elementary School today.KADA is an outlet of Avery Citizens Against Domestic Abuse, or ACADA, according to director Susie Smith. KADA stands for kids against domestic abuse. The program is used to bring education about abuse into the school system. The message is simple, Smith says. "It's ok to talk to adults about and tell them whats going on that may be bothering them or hurting them or making them afraid." That message is delivered by singing puppets whose skits cater to different age groups. The KADA kids will return to Avery County elementary schools in the fall.

WESTERN NEW YORK -- Drug drop-offs were held at 30 locations across Western New York Saturday in an effort to keep unwanted or unused prescriptions out of the hands of drug abusers.
About 85 cars stopped at the West Seneca Senior Center and dropped off 100 pounds of pills in just the first hour. In past years, that site has collected two to four tons of unwanted pills.
Pharmacy students from area colleges and universities volunteered to identify and count the pills, which will later be destroyed.
Prescription drug abuse is being described as an epidemic in Western New York. Abusers often think prescription meds are a safer alternative to street drugs like cocaine or heroin.
"Unfortunately people couldn't be more wrong. Prescription pain killers are made from the same opiate derivative that heroin is made from. It's simply a synthetic form," said Jessica Sherman, of Kids Escaping Drugs. "So young people are falling under the false perception that because it is prescribed by a doctor for somebody at some point that they are safer than street drugs. And we see young people and adults become addicted very, very, very quickly."
Sherman said 90 percent of the adolescents she deals with at KED's Renaissance Campus have abused prescription drugs at some point in their lives. They tell her they're often easier to get than alcohol.
Earlier this week U.S. Senator Charles Schumer called for a National Prescription drug buyback program.

Many people find the seemingly endless range of garden power tools on offer these days a little daunting, however; with a little guidance these tools can open up a whole new world of excellent innovations and practical power, even for the novice gardener. Whether you're looking to trim a couple of hedges or you've got an entire estate to take care of, the right power tool could make the job a whole lot easier and allow you to be even more ambitious in creating a beautiful garden.
Looking for a new lawnmower? Try our dedicated Lawnmowers Buying Guide >
Lawn Tools
Grass Trimmers
A grass trimmer is a convenient tool, ideal for cutting areas of grass that are too small or difficult to reach with a lawnmower. Most trimmers can also make light work of heavily overgrown areas with nettles, brambles and weeds.
These trimmers come in a variety of sizes and types. Larger ones, with bigger cutting areas will be able to tackle thicker growth and cover ground more quickly, but may be heavier, more unwieldy and less suited to intricate jobs than a smaller trimmer.
Cordless Trimmers
A cordless trimmer can be the perfect tool for tidying up the edging on your flower bed or for quickly tearing through areas that have become overgrown with unwanted plant species. For smaller jobs a cordless, battery powered trimmer will provide great power and lightweight portability.
Electric and Petrol Powered Trimmers
Electric corded trimmers usually provide a little more power than cordless and although you don't have to worry running out of charge, you may be limited by the length of the cable. For the biggest jobs a 2 stroke petrol trimmer can give even more power, these can quickly plough through heavy undergrowth, but will be less manoeuvrable and considerably heavier than an electric trimmer.
Extra Features
Grass trimmers often come with a wide range of special features for added convenience and performance. Take a little time to consider exactly what you want to use the tool for and which features might benefit you the most. Grass trimmers are widely available with:
- Telescopic adjustment – for extended reach or comfortable use by people of different heights
- Tilting/twisting head – for getting into tight corners easily, cutting along edges at an angle and reaching underneath plants or bushes
- Plant guard – usually a small piece of wire or similar which pushes plants or other objects above a certain height away from the blade
- Expanders – interchangeable attachments which allow you to use one tool for hedge trimming and other garden tasks, as well as grass trimming.
Lawn Rakes, Scarifiers and Cultivators
After their first couple of seasons most lawns become pretty hardy and won't need too much care to keep growing year after year; there are, however, several tools that you can use to help keep your lawn extra healthy and green all year round.
Finding the right tool is the first step in getting any gardening job done, it's a matter of carefully considering your requirements and those of the job in hand. With our extensive range of garden equipment we can help you to find exactly what you're looking for.
Lawn Rakes
A lawn rake is a simple, push along tool with thin metal scrapers on the underside which pull up any extra thatch that would otherwise suffocate the grass. A lawn rake can also be used to pick up grass clippings and leaves.
A scarifier is a more heavy duty version of the lawn rake, with blades that cut into the ground as the tool is pushed along, thinning the grass out to promote healthy, even growth and ensuring that the soil is well aerated. Give the grass a week or two to rest afterwards and the results can be very impressive.
With much larger blades than a scarifier and the ability to turn over and break down earth rather than just aerate the soil. Cultivators are ideal for the preparation of flower beds or vegetable plots where soil needs to be broken down to a loose, smooth consistency ready for planting.
There are a range of tools and treatments available to help keep your grass in tip top condition all year round; whatever your lawn is lacking we can help you to find the right product to bring it back to glorious green.
Hedge Tools
Hedge Trimmers
If you only have a couple of small hedges which don't need to be trimmed that often, a pair of hand shears might do the job just fine; however, for most medium or large sized jobs an electric or petrol powered hedge trimmer will make things run a lot more smoothly.
Power Source
Whether to go plug in, cordless or petrol powered is one of the key considerations when looking at hedge trimmers. Cordless trimmers have the advantage of being both lightweight and portable, with modern lithium batteries able to sustain more than an hour's constant cutting without running out of charge, for longer jobs you can always get a second battery.
If your hedges are close enough to a plug socket a corded trimmer could provide a little more power and eliminate the need for charging on longer jobs. For heavy duty jobs a petrol powered trimmer may be the best option, these tend be large and powerful, enabling you to work very quickly, but also heavier and more unwieldy than their electric counterparts, requiring a little more effort to operate.
The blades are, naturally, the most important part of a hedge trimmer, their length and spacing dictates the type of job the trimmer is best suited to. For a typical garden a 45-55cm blade will suffice, longer ones can cover larger areas in fewer strokes but will be heavier and more difficult to manoeuvre. 16-20mm tooth spacing is fine for most jobs, though you may occasionally need to use secateurs for larger branches. For especially thick hedges wider spacing, up to 30mm, is advisable.
When choosing your hedge trimmer it's important to remember that this is a machine which you will be holding, lifting and manoeuvring for extended periods of time, check the balance, positioning of handles, switches and other comfort features and be sure that the general feel of the device suits you before buying.
Chainsaws come in a variety of shapes and sizes and can be used for all kinds of cutting work, from felling large trees to pruning small shrubs. These powerful tools can save a lot of hard work in the garden and will last for years if properly looked after.
There are several important factors to consider when looking for a chainsaw, the best one for you depends on how often you'll need to use it and the type of job you're doing.
Power Source
Like most outdoor power tools, chainsaws come in three varieties: Battery powered, plug in and 2 stroke petrol engine. For the biggest jobs where a chainsaw is likely to be used almost every day, petrol power is likely to offer the most power and portability.
For smaller, everyday use in the garden, cutting firewood etc; an electric saw should be sufficient and will also require less maintenance.
The bar length of a chainsaw is the size of the actual cutting area, when choosing the size bear in mind that the cutting capacity of the chainsaw is always double the bar length, but that larger saws will be heavier and require greater skill and further safety measures to operate.

Garden Tidy
Garden vacuums and blowers
Garden vacs and blowers are great tools for the autumn, when the trees start to shed their leaves they can be a great help in keeping your garden tidy and giving you plenty of material to add to the compost heap. Both types of tool offer slightly different functions, so take some time to think which will be more useful to you.
Leaf blowers
A leaf blower is used to push leaves into a pile so that you can collect them; much like a rake but requiring less effort. These are best for large gardens with lots of leaves, as they won't require emptying and tend to be much lighter than a vacuum.
Garden vacuums
Garden vacuums suck up leaves straight from the ground and into a bag, often with shredding incorporated into the process. This can be more convenient than a blower, however; if you have a lot of leaves to clear up you may have to empty the bag a few times before you finish.
For those who want the best of both you can get an integrated blower/vac tool quite easily, allowing you to pile up the leaves using the blower and then shred using the vacuum, before adding to your compost heap.
Shredders can be brilliantly useful garden tools for easy and environmentally friendly disposal of foliage and plant cuttings, and can be used to create excellent mulch or woodchips for the top layer of a flower bed as well as assisting in the breaking down of materials for compost.
Crushing Shredders
Crushing shredders are the most popular type for everyday garden use, this type of shredder works either with a corkscrew system or a toothed blade; which the material is passed through and crushed into smaller pieces. These shredders are excellent for creating woodchips out of stripped branches, but are not designed to deal with large amounts of green material.
Impact Shredders
Although they are a little noisier than a crushing shredder, impact shredders are capable of handling large amounts of green foliage and even smaller tree branches. This type of shredder works using a sharp blade attached to a spinning disc, the blades will need to sharpened or replaced periodically, so keep this in mind if you're looking for a tool with zero maintenance.
Look for a shredder with excellent safety features; never place your hands anywhere near the mechanism unless it is completely switched off and unplugged. Ideally choose one with reverse gear or another anti-blocking system that eliminates the need to do this at all. If you will be moving the machine or the shredded material around a lot, consider a machine that comes with wheels, or one which has a collection bag attached.
Pressure Washers
Pressure washers can make light work of almost any cleaning task, simply by using a high powered jet of water to beat the dirt off of a surface. Pressure washers use much less water than other cleaning methods and the high pressure also means that stronger cleaning products are seldom needed. Using a pressure washer could simplify virtually any cleaning job involving a hard surface, however; two of the most common uses are;
Washing the Car
If this is your main reason for buying a pressure washer look for one with an angled lance which will allow you to get into the wheel arches and other difficult to reach spots. Be sure to check the pressure rating of any machine, as an excessively powerful one could end up blasting the paint off your car as well as the dirt! Variable pressure settings are best as you'll want lower pressure for shampooing and washing as well the strong jet for dirt blasting.
Cleaning the Patio
When it comes to shifting the stubborn grime and dirt that builds up on patios, driveways and other walking surfaces, there is really no substitute for a pressure washer. Many pressure washers come with a specially designed patio cleaning attachment, which makes it easier to manoeuvre the machine across a large area; an angled lance will also come in useful to blast away the most stubborn bits of dirt.

CANTON Dorcas Ofori, a SUNY Canton student from the Bronx, liked the Jamaican food at the villages new restaurant so much she ate there four times in six days.
The first time I had it, I dreamed about it, she said, a takeout bag in hand. On campus, everybody knows about it and is excited.
Da Kitchen, 13 Hodskin St., which had its grand opening March 29, already has a steady stream of customers eager for curry chicken, jerk chicken, oxtails, steamed vegetables, plantains, and rice and peas seasoned Jamaican style.
Proprietor Jody A. Pitt, who opened the restaurant with partner Repton L. Abraham, said she knew when she came to SUNY Canton from Brooklyn what it meant to crave something familiar.
It was something needed for the community, especially the city kids, she said. Being a student yourself, you miss having a cooked meal. This is almost like being at home.
Mr. Abraham was born in Jamaica and moved to the U.S. in 2000. Ms. Pitt, who came to Canton from Brooklyn, is of Jamaican descent.
Ms. Pitt and Mr. Abraham had wanted to move into the Miner Street home of Leonies Jamaican Cuisine, which closed in 2010, but the building no longer was available. Instead, landlord Henry R. Hank Ford found them a spot next to his barbershop on Hodskin Street.
Da Kitchens menu is limited with specials, such as fish or soup, on certain days. The jerk sauce is homemade.
Nothing is overly spicy for the people not accustomed to it except for the jerk chicken, Ms. Pitt said.
Da Kitchen, 379-9022, is mostly takeout, but Ms. Pitt and Mr. Abraham eventually plan to have stools for the high bar counters. Delivery is free, with a $12 minimum. Catering is available.
The restaurants hours are noon to 11 p.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, 2 p.m. to midnight Fridays and Saturdays, and 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. Sundays.
The restaurant accepts cash only, although Ms. Pitt said she is working on taking college student cards.

|Water rushes around a bend in the Price River. But the scene could be misleading since spring runoff in the local drainage basin is expected to be lower than last year and register below average. As of March 1, the Price River drainage basin is showing 57 percent of last year's snowpack and 55 percent of average.
Spring water runoff in the Price River drainage basin and at locations across the rest of the state is expected to be somewhat lower than last year and register below average.
As of March 1, Price River drainage basin is showing 57 percent of last year's snowpack and 55 percent of average.
The San Rafael River basin is faring slightly better than the Carbon County area.
The current snowpack levels in the San Rafael drainage basin register at 60 percent of last year and 62 percent of average.
Across the southeast region, including Carbon, Emery, Wayne, Grand and San Juan counties, snowpack figures are lower than last year and lower than normal.
"Snowpacks in this region are much below normal at 60 percent of average, about 72 percent of last year," indicated the latest snowpack telemetry (SNOTEL) report generated by the United States Natural Resources Conservation Service.
For the region to get to average snowpack, March would need to experience an unprecedented 303 percent increase.
And while getting back up to normal levels is not likely in the foreseeable future, the Price River drainage basin is up from Feb. 1, when SNOTEL reported levels at 39 percent compared to last year and 44 percent of average.
Despite the increase, the Price River basin's figures remain lower than the rest of Utah.
Statewide, the snowpack levels register at 71 percent of average.
The March SNOTEL report estimates less than a 14 percent change of meeting average snowpack in March.
And while the Price River drainage basin and other areas of southeastern Utah are showing lower than average snowpack levels, there are other areas of the state which are further below average.
In eastern Garfield, Kane, Washington and Iron counties, snowpack is 59 percent of average.
But the good news in the four counties is that snow levels in the region are up 138 percent from last year.
The region in the best shape for snowpack is the Uintah Basin, where snowpack levels still only reach 78 percent of average and 77 percent of last year's figures.
But while snowpack is down sharply from last year, precipitation is closer to average levels.
Southeastern Utah shows precipitation at 96 percent of average.
Statewide seasonal accumulation is 88 percent of normal, with lower levels in the Bear River area at 83 percent.
But even with higher precipitation and higher water levels in Scofield, it's not likely that 2007 will finish off as a high water year.
"March needs to be big to take the sting out of this season," stated the March SNOTEL report.
But even with very low snowpack levels and slightly below average precipitation, storage reservoirs are showing more positive figures.
"General water supply conditions range from below average to much above average," indicated the SNOTEL report.
Restrictions on Scofield Reservoir remain in effect for the third year in a row.
Originally designed to store more than 65,000 acre feet of water, the U.S. Bureau of Water Resources has restricted the reservoir's capacity to 54,500 acre feet.
The 30-year average usable storage for the reservoir is 34,800 acre feet.
At the end of February, Scofield contained 37,600 acre feet of usable storage. That's up from last year at the same time, when the reservoir contained 37,200 acre feet of usable water.
Higher water levels are due partly to lower release levels.
According to the data compiled by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, water release at Scofield dam was cut in half from 10 cubic feet per second on Feb. 8.
On Feb. 22, the release of water from the dam at Scofield was closed entirely.
Officially, the dam is currently releasing no water. Any water released from Scofield Reservoir is due to structural leaks.
And while the dam is releasing very little water downstream, levels in the reservoir have been steadily increasing.
Since March 1, the intake of water flowing into Socfield Reservoir has averaged almost nine cubic feet per second.

I am on a TRT thru a local clinic. Unfortunately due to $ conflicts (bank wants their mortgage payments), i decided to purchase the T , supplies and get my own labs done. With a ton of reading i decided to give OP the shot of being my pharmacy.
Several pm's to DM i was sold. very quick to respond, knowledgeable.
Being that this was all very new to me, i was pleasantly surprised to find the overall experience to be quite easy and pleasant.
That is after i used my double secret code decipher security ring to obtain the launch codes
Everything arrived in perfect condition and professionally wrapped and sealed.
I am waiting for the pins i ordered elsewhere, but plan on using the T first thing monday morning.
I will report back of how this goes and what how i feel compared to the version of T i have been on.

Panasonic HX-A1 ( Orange)
The HX-A1's size and price offer a decent option for buyers, but there are better choices.
Drift Stealth 2
A low-profile, weather-resistant full-HD action camera, the Drift Stealth 2 isn't without compromises, but makes up for them in size and usability.
GoPro Hero+ LCD
The GoPro Hero+ LCD isn't exactly a bargain for its entry-level specs, but if you appreciate a streamlined feature set and its built-in touchscreen, it's worth the extra money over the very basic Hero.
GoPro Hero4 Session
GoPro sheds its housing for the Hero4 Session, an excellent POV camera that's ready to capture what the day brings -- in or out of the water -- at the press of a button.
Visit manufacturer site for details.
Monoprice MHD 2.0 Action Camera
If you're in the market for no-frills, cheap-and-easy point-and-shoot action cam, the Monoprice MHD 2.0 gets the job done.
VSN Mobil V.360°
You'll have to overlook quirks in design and performance, but the VSN Mobil V.360 360-degree action cam offers up some serious wow factor now and potentially even more in the future.
Xiaomi Yi ( Green)
The Xiaomi Yi Action Cam's video quality and shooting options are well above other cameras in its class, but you'll need to bring your own accessories.
Kodak Pixpro SP360 Extreme Pack
The Kodak Pixpro SP360's 360-degree video is fun to view and experiment with, while its regular full HD video means you're not stuck with a one-trick camera. The rest of the package could use some fine-tuning, though.
Sony Action Cam FDR-X1000V
Sony's X1000V offers power and performance in a package that goes head-to-head with the GoPro.
GoPro Hero4 Black
The GoPro Hero4 Silver is still our top choice for most people, but if you need the best video quality with the most shooting options, the Hero4 Black is it.

We realize that the idea of red lipstick being a new look for autumn is tantamount to saying something on par with "jeans are popular" or "try a coat for winter." In other words: highly obvious. But aside from the duh factor that is inherent in today's story, we'd like to point out that the season's rouge is neither the blood-orange tones nor the burgundy tints that have been popular as of late. Instead, the must-try lip is a beautifully bright true red: it's festive, it's fresh, it's oh-so-fall. Best of all, there are lots of brand-new lipsticks from our favorite companies (Maybelline! Dolce & Gabbana!), which means that you get the hottest hues and just-developed formulas too. We've tried and tested everything awesome on the market, dear readers, and have the right reds for all of you, so read on for more details on these WhoWhatWear.com-approved lipsticks!
Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Color ($7.50) in Very Cherry
The makeup maestros at Maybelline just launched the most perfectly named product we've seen in ages: Color Sensational Lip Color. The lipsticks are literally sensational: the colors are true, the formula is uber-rich, and the reds are some of the best we tried-period. Plus they perform beautifully; we recently wore one all day and it held up remarkably well considering how many bottles, straws, and cups we go through! The three key shades to sample are Very Cherry (seen above), Are You Red-dy, and Red Revival; if you can't pick one, they're so affordable we suggest buying all three...
MAC PRO Lipmix ($12.50, 800.387.6707) in Crimson
Every season we make a point of checking out what's new and notable at MAC, partially because we know designers always turn to the esteemed cosmetics brand for their runway beauty looks. After doing a little research, we found out that two of our favorite lip looks (from Costume National and Nathan Jenden, respectively) used the same product with gorgeous results: MAC PRO Lipmix in Crimson. The heavily pigmented product has a fantastically light texture and is worth tracking down. However, if you don't have a MAC PRO store near you and don't want to place a phone order (the phone number's above), you can substitute MAC Lipstick ($14) in Russian Red for a similar look.
Illamasqua Lipstick ($20) in Maneater
We'd heard about the amazing British beauty brand Illamasqua from our UK-dwelling friends for ages. Happily, their ravings about the line's fashion-forward spirit and cutting-edge products were right and now that the collection is carried at Sephora.com, we can enjoy it too. There are a number of don't-miss matte lipsticks we'd suggest, like Maneater (shown above) and Tramp, but definitely check out the entire range.
Napoleon Perdis DéVine Goddess Lipstick ($22) in Xenia
From its distinctive deco-inspired packaging to its seriously creamy formula, Napoleon Perdis' DéVine lipstick is definitely old-Hollywood glam. The colors are remarkably sophisticated; we like the slightly deeper red of Xenia (shown above), but you also might like the even-bolder shades of Aphrodite or Eros. Also check out Perdis' special collection for Target, specifically the NP Set Lipstick ($15) in Madrid Bright Red.
Lorac Breakthrough Performance Lipstick SPF 15 ($22) in Leading Lady
A good multi-tasker is always appreciated around the WhoWhatWear.com offices, so it's no wonder that we were excited about the new Breakthrough Performance Lipstick from Lorac. In addition to being paraben free, the lipstick's long-lasting formula is also kitted out with SPF 15 protection and the brand's exclusive anti-aging complex that helps boost collagen production. In short: healthy happy lips in a heartbreaking shade of red!
Dolce & Gabbana Classic Creme Lipstick ($30) in Iconic
Our final must-buy is from Dolce & Gabbana's just-launched cosmetics line, The Make Up, and it's a stunner. World-famous makeup artist Pat McGrath collaborated on the collection and the results are devastating. It's hard to explain how much we love everything: the packaging is perfect, the products are luxurious yet tenacious, and, most importantly, the lipstick is heavenly. We prefer the bright hue of Iconic ourselves, but Ruby is also an excellent choice. Whatever you like, definitely get thee to a Saks Fifth Avenue (where The Make Up is carried exclusively) and pick up some products today.

Depending on your vision needs, you might consider specialized contact lenses, such as:
If you decide you want to try contact lenses, consult your ophthalmologist or other eye care specialist for a thorough eye exam and fitting.
Schedule follow-up exams as recommended by your eye care specialist. You might need a follow-up exam after one week, one month and six months, and then once a year.
Wearing contact lenses of any type increases the risk of corneal infection, simply because contact lenses reduce the amount of oxygen that reaches the corneas. Eye infections aren't inevitable, however.
To prevent infections:
Even with proper use and care, dry eyes can be an issue for contact lens wearers. If your eyes are itchy or red, remove your contact lenses and use lubricating eyedrops.
If your vision becomes blurry or you experience eye pain, sensitivity to light or other problems, remove your contact lenses and consult your eye care specialist for prompt treatment.

Under the direction of the City Council, the adopted fiscal plan cautiously and prudently allows for fluctuations in revenue and expenditures and ensures flexibility to respond to urgent needs and events that may arise.
This Operating Budget Summary provides a high-level overview of each of the City's operational units and describes the activities and programs included in the budget for the upcoming year. The Operating Budget reflects an emphasis on continuing to build a strong community and improving the quality of life for Ontario residents, businesses, and visitors.

A congressional investigation that highlighted national security threats posed by two Communist China-based telecommunications equipment companies, Huawei and ZTE, is being seized upon by lawmakers and at least one of the firms to push for more government control at the national and international level. The final report found that the companies pose multiple risks to the United States and should be avoided.
Members of Congress on both sides of the aisle claimed the danger could be lessened. However, to do that, lawmakers alleged, Congress must approve the deeply controversial so-called "cybersecurity" bill that would force private companies to help the federal government spy on Americans under the guise of protecting "the Homeland."
"We need to have that bill passed in order for our intelligence community to be able to help and protect our networks," claimed C.A. "Dutch" Ruppersberger of Maryland, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee. He also purported to be concerned about the Chinese regime spying on Americans even as the federal government ramps up its massive unconstitutional domestic espionage apparatus.
Despite fierce opposition from Internet-freedom activists around the world, the bipartisan establishment in Washington, D.C., has been working fiendishly to impose some sort of federal "cyber-security" regime on the American people for years. Critics have highlighted the potential threat to privacy, the danger to businesses, and the fact that the unconstitutional scheme would open the door to more federal intrusion into the internet.
When the cybersecurity plan failed in the Senate, some lawmakers suggested that President Obama could simply bypass Congress and implement the controversial legislation by executive decree. The administration was apparently more than happy to comply, with a draft version of the lawless so-called "executive order" being "leaked" last month.

The 912/921 bulb fit in my Dodge Intrepid perfectly and they are actually far brighter than my OEM 3157 lights, which are roughly 3x the size. I was confused at first as they weren't the lights that turn on when you put your car into reverse, but rather back-up lights that are on along with the others while you have your lights turned on. If you need lights for when you put your car in reverse, in my case my rear tail lights are blacked out and I needed more light, the Putco 3157 Neutron bulb is the brightest replacement that I have found, and it's available on this site.1 people found this review helpful.Was this review helpful for you?
