South Bend, Indiana (WVLT) -- Have you sinned lately? Maybe it's time for a confessional. Well, there's an app for that!
Three Catholics from Indiana got together to create a new iPad application that's creating some competition. It's already made the top 20 apps for Apple. It's called "Confessions: A Roman Catholic App."
Here's how it works: Input your personal information such as age, gender, and marital status. The program then generates an examination on the conscience that relates to the user. This isn't designed to get people out of the confessional, but to encourage to draw them in. One priest says the app helps with special needs children by keeping them focused during confession.
It only costs two dollars to download and all the money goes toward the church and various other charities.

By John Pennington, Mr. SEC:
Last fall, we quoted an industry source with in-depth knowledge of media rights contracts who predicted SEC teams would receive between $30 and $35 million dollars once the league renegotiated its new deals with CBS and ESPN, launched its own network, kicked off the new Sugar (Champions) Bowl, and began collecting revenue from college football's new playoffs.
Now, a USA Today Sports analysis shows that SEC schools are indeed in line to earn about $34 million per season beginning in 2014-15. That would represent a $10-$14 million jump, which would be at least a 50% increase for the league's schools. The SEC is still in negotiations with CBS and ESPN. Also, with more bowls expected to go the way of the Sugar Bowl — which will be co-owned by the SEC and Big XII — there's a chance Mike Slive and company could increase their even revenue further, depending on how the league's new bowl deals are cut in 2014.

Humulin R U-500
Generic Name: insulin human
Dosage Form: injection, solution
(rDNA ORIGIN)
Humulin R® U-500 is a polypeptide hormone structurally identical to human insulin synthesized through rDNA technology in a special non-disease-producing laboratory strain of Escherichia coli bacteria. Humulin R U-500 has the empirical formula C257H383N65O77S6 and a molecular weight of 5808.
Humulin R U-500 is a sterile, clear, aqueous and colorless solution that contains human insulin (rDNA origin) 500 units/mL, glycerin 16 mg/mL, metacresol 2.5 mg/mL and zinc oxide to supplement the endogenous zinc to obtain a total zinc content of 0.017 mg/100 units, and water for injection. The pH is 7.0 to 7.8. Sodium hydroxide and/or hydrochloric acid may be added during manufacture to adjust the pH.
Humulin R U-500 is for subcutaneous injection only. It should not be used intravenously or intramuscularly. Humulin R U-500 contains 500 units of insulin in each milliliter (5-times more concentrated than Humulin R U-100 [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION]). It also contains 16 mg glycerin, 2.5 mg metacresol as a preservative, and zinc-oxide calculated to supplement endogenous zinc to obtain a total zinc content of 0.017 mg/100 units and water for injection. Sodium hydroxide and/or hydrochloric acid may be added during manufacture to adjust the pH.
Adequate insulin dosage permits patients with diabetes to effectively utilize carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Regardless of dose strength, insulin enables carbohydrate metabolism to occur and thus to prevent the production of ketone bodies by the liver. Some patients might develop severe insulin resistance such that daily doses of several hundred units of insulin or more are required.
Regulation of glucose metabolism is the primary activity of insulin. Insulin lowers blood glucose by stimulating peripheral glucose uptake by skeletal muscle and fat, and by inhibiting hepatic glucose production. Insulins inhibit lipolysis, proteolysis, and gluconeogenesis, and enhance protein synthesis and conversion of excess glucose into fat.
Administered insulin, including Humulin R U-500, substitutes for inadequate endogenous insulin secretion and partially corrects the disordered metabolism and inappropriate hyperglycemia of diabetes mellitus, which are caused by either a deficiency or a reduction in the biologic effectiveness of insulin. When administered in appropriate doses at prescribed intervals to patients with diabetes mellitus, Humulin R U-500 restores their ability to metabolize carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
As with all insulin preparations, the duration of action of Humulin R U-500 is dependent on dose, site of injection, blood supply, temperature, and physical activity.
Humulin R U-500 is unmodified by any agent that might prolong its action. Clinical experience has shown that it frequently has time action characteristics reflecting both prandial and basal activity. It takes effect within 30 minutes, has a peak similar to that observed with U-100 regular human insulin and has a relatively long duration of activity following a single dose (up to 24 hours) as compared with U-100 regular insulins. This effect has been credited to the high concentration of the preparation. The time course of action of any insulin may vary considerably in different individuals or at different times in the same individual.
Indications and Usage for Humulin R U-500
Humulin R U-500 is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults and children with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Humulin R U-500 is useful for the treatment of insulin-resistant patients with diabetes requiring daily doses of more than 200 units, since a large dose may be administered subcutaneously in a reasonable volume.
Humulin R U-500 is contraindicated during episodes of hypoglycemia and in patients hypersensitive to Humulin R U-500 or any of its excipients.
Any change of insulin should be made cautiously and only under medical supervision. Changes in insulin strength, manufacturer, type (e.g., regular, NPH, analog, etc.), species, or method of administration may result in the need for a change in dosage.
Humulin R U-500 contains 500 units of insulin in each milliliter (5-times more concentrated than Humulin R U-100). For Humulin R U-500, extreme caution must be observed in the measurement of dosage because inadvertent overdose may result in serious adverse reaction or life-threatening hypoglycemia.
Fluid retention and heart failure with concomitant use of PPAR-gamma agonists: Thiazolidinediones (TZDs), which are peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-gamma agonists, can cause dose-related fluid retention, particularly when used in combination with insulin. Fluid retention may lead to or exacerbate heart failure. Patients treated with insulin, including Humulin R U-500, and a PPAR-gamma agonist should be observed for signs and symptoms of heart failure. If heart failure develops, it should be managed according to current standards of care, and discontinuation or dose reduction of the PPAR-gamma agonist must be considered.
Dosing Confusion/Dosing Errors
Medication errors associated with Humulin R U-500 have occurred and resulted in patients experiencing hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia or death. The majority of errors occurred due to errors in dispensing, prescribing or administration. Attention to the following details may prevent:
- Dispensing errors
The Humulin R U-500 vial, which contains 20 mL, versus the Humulin R U-100 vial, which contains 10 mL – is marked with a band of diagonal brown stripes to distinguish it from the U-100 vial, which has no stripes. "U-500" is also highlighted in red on the label.
- Prescribing errors (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION)
The prescribed dose of Humulin R U-500 should always be expressed in actual units of Humulin R U-500 along with corresponding markings on the syringe the patient is using (i.e., a U-100 insulin syringe or tuberculin syringe [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION]).
- Administration errors (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION)
A majority of these errors occurred due to dosing confusion when the Humulin R U-500 dose was prescribed in units or volume corresponding to a U-100 syringe or tuberculin syringe markings, respectively, or the prescribed dose was administered without recognizing that the markings on the syringe used do not directly correspond to U-500 dose. Instructions for use should always be read and followed before use.
Instruct the patient to inform hospital or emergency department staff of the dose of Humulin R U-500 prescribed, in the event of a future hospitalization or visit to the Emergency Department.
A conversion chart is provided and should always be used when administering Humulin R U-500 doses with U-100 insulin syringes or tuberculin syringes.
Hypoglycemia is the most common adverse reaction of all insulin therapies, including Humulin R U-500. Severe hypoglycemia may lead to unconsciousness and/or convulsions and may result in temporary or permanent impairment of brain function or death. Severe hypoglycemia requiring the assistance of another person and/or parenteral glucose infusion or glucagon administration has been observed in clinical trials with insulin, including trials with Humulin R U-500.
As with all insulin preparations, the time course of Humulin R U-500 action may vary in different individuals or at different times in the same individual and is dependent on dose, site of injection, blood supply, temperature, and physical activity.
Adjustment of dosage of any insulin may be necessary if patients change their physical activity or their usual meal plan. Insulin requirements may be altered during illness, emotional disturbances, or other stresses. Concomitant oral antidiabetic treatment may need to be adjusted.
Any patient who requires Humulin R U-500 for control of diabetes should be under close observation until appropriate dosage is established. The response will vary among patients. Most patients will require 2 or 3 injections per day.
Insulin resistance, in some patients is transitory; after several weeks or months during which high dosage is required, responsiveness to the pharmacologic effect of insulin may be regained and dosage can be reduced.
The timing of hypoglycemia usually reflects the time-action profile of the administered insulin formulations. Other factors such as changes in food intake (e.g., amount of food or timing of meals), injection site, exercise, and concomitant medications may also alter the risk of hypoglycemia (see PRECAUTIONS, Drug Interactions).
As with all insulins, use caution in patients with hypoglycemia unawareness and in patients who may be predisposed to hypoglycemia (e.g., the pediatric population and patients who fast or have erratic food intake). The patient's ability to concentrate and react may be impaired as a result of hypoglycemia. This may prevent a risk in situations where these abilities are especially important, such as driving or operating other machinery.
Severe hypoglycemia may develop 18 to 24 hours after the original injection of Humulin R U-500.
Hyperglycemia, Diabetic Ketoacidosis, and Hyperosmolar Non-Ketotic Syndrome
Hyperglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, or hyperosmolar coma may develop if the patient takes less Humulin R U-500 than needed to control blood glucose levels. This could be due to increases in insulin demand during illness or infection, neglect of diet, omission or improper administration of prescribed insulin doses or use of drugs that affect glucose metabolism or insulin sensitivity. Early signs of diabetic ketoacidosis include glycosuria and ketonuria. Polydipsia, polyuria, loss of appetite, fatigue, dry skin, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting and compensatory tachypnea come on gradually, usually over a period of some hours or days, in conjunction with hyperglycemia and ketonemia. Severe sustained hyperglycemia may result in hyperosmolar coma or death.
Insulin stimulates potassium movement into the cells, possibly leading to hypokalemia, that left untreated may cause respiratory paralysis, ventricular arrhythmia, and death. Use caution in patients who may be at risk for hypokalemia (e.g., patients using potassium-lowering medications, patients taking medications sensitive to serum potassium concentrations).
Hypersensitivity and Allergic Reactions
Severe, life-threatening, generalized allergy, including anaphylaxis, can occur with insulin products, including Humulin R U-500 (see ADVERSE REACTIONS).
Localized reactions and generalized myalgias have been reported with the use of metacresol as an injectable excipient.
Renal or Hepatic Impairment
Frequent glucose monitoring and insulin dose reduction may be required in patients with renal or hepatic impairment.
Drug Interactions
Some medications may alter insulin requirements and the risk for hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia (see ADVERSE REACTIONS, Drug Interactions).
Use in Pregnancy
Pregnancy Category B — All pregnancies have background risk of birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse outcome regardless of drug exposure. This background risk is increased in pregnancies complicated by hyperglycemia and is decreased with good glucose control. It is important for patients to maintain good control of diabetes before conception and during pregnancy. Special attention should be paid to diet, exercise and insulin regimens. Insulin requirements may decrease during the first trimester, usually increase during the second and third trimesters and rapidly decline after delivery. Careful glucose monitoring is essential in these patients. Female patients should be advised to tell their physician if they intend to become, or if they become pregnant.
Studies show that endogenous insulin only crosses the placenta in minimal amounts. While there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women, an extensive body of published literature demonstrates the maternal and fetal benefits of insulin treatment in patients with diabetes during pregnancy. Humulin R U-500 is a recombinant human insulin that is identical to the endogenous hormone; therefore, reproduction and fertility studies were not performed in animals.
Labor and Delivery
Careful glucose monitoring and management of patients with diabetes during labor and delivery are required.
Nursing Mothers
Endogenous insulin is present in human milk. Insulin orally ingested is degraded in the gastrointestinal tract. In lactating infants, no adverse reactions have been associated with maternal use of insulin. In a study of eight preterm infants between 26 to 30 weeks gestation, enteral administration of Humulin R did not result in hypoglycemia. Good glucose control supports lactation in patients with diabetes. Patients with diabetes who are lactating may require adjustments in insulin dose and/or diet.
Pediatric Use
There are no well-controlled studies of use of Humulin R U-500 in children.
Adverse Reactions
Hypoglycemia is one of the most frequent adverse events experienced by insulin users.
Symptoms of mild to moderate hypoglycemia may occur suddenly and can include:
Signs of severe hypoglycemia can include:
Early warning symptoms of hypoglycemia may be different or less pronounced under certain conditions, such as long duration of diabetes, autonomic diabetic neuropathy, use of medications such as beta-adrenergic blockers, changing insulin preparations, or intensified control (3 or more insulin injections per day) of diabetes.
Without recognition of early warning symptoms, the patient may not be able to take steps to avoid more serious hypoglycemia. Patients who experience hypoglycemia without early warning symptoms should monitor their blood glucose more frequently, especially prior to activities such as driving. Mild to moderate hypoglycemia may be treated by eating foods or taking drinks that contain sugar. Patients should always carry a quick source of sugar, such as hard candy, non-diet carbohydrate-containing drinks or glucose tablets.
Hypoglycemia when using Humulin R U-500 can be prolonged and severe.
See Precautions
Administration of insulin subcutaneously can result in lipoatrophy (depression in the skin) or lipohypertrophy (enlargement or thickening of tissue).
Local Allergy — Patients occasionally experience erythema, local edema, and pruritus at the site of injection. This condition usually is self-limiting. In some instances, this condition may be related to factors other than insulin, such as irritants in the skin cleansing agent or poor injection technique.
Systemic Allergy — Less common, but potentially more serious, is generalized allergy to insulin, which may cause rash over the whole body, shortness of breath, wheezing, reduction in blood pressure, fast pulse, or sweating. Severe cases of generalized allergy (anaphylaxis) may be life threatening.
Weight gain
Weight gain can occur with some insulin therapies and has been attributed to the anabolic effects of insulin and the decrease in glycosuria.
Peripheral Edema
Insulin may cause sodium retention and edema, particularly if previously poor metabolic control is improved by intensified insulin therapy.
Drug Interactions
The concurrent use of oral antihyperglycemic diabetes agents with Humulin R U-500 is not recommended since there are limited data to support such use.
A number of substances affect glucose metabolism and may require insulin dose adjustment and particularly close monitoring.
Drugs that may increase the blood-glucose-lowering effect of Humulin R U-500 and susceptibility to hypoglycemia:
- Oral antihyperglycemic diabetes agents, salicylates, sulfa antibiotics, certain antidepressants (monoamine oxidase inhibitors, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors [SSRIs]), pramlintide, disopyramide, fibrates, fluoxetine, propoxyphene, pentoxifylline, ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blocking agents, beta-adrenergic blockers, inhibitors of pancreatic function (e.g., octreotide), and alcohol.
Drugs that may reduce the blood-glucose-lowering effect:
- Corticosteroids, isoniazid, certain lipid-lowering drugs (e.g., niacin), estrogens, oral contraceptives, phenothiazines, danazol, diuretics, sympathomimetic agents, somatropin, atypical antipsychotics, glucagon, protease inhibitors and thyroid replacement therapy.
Drugs that may increase or decrease blood-glucose-lowering effect:
- Beta-adrenergic blockers, clonidine, lithium salts, and alcohol.
- Pentamidine may cause hypoglycemia, which may sometimes be followed by hyperglycemia.
Drugs that may mask the signs of hypoglycemia:
- Beta-adrenergic blockers, clonidine, guanethidine, and reserpine.
Excess insulin may cause hypoglycemia and hypokalemia. Hypoglycemia may occur as a result of an excess of insulin relative to food intake, energy expenditure, or both. Mild episodes of hypoglycemia usually can be treated with oral glucose. Adjustments in drug dosage, meal patterns, or exercise, may be needed. More severe episodes with coma, seizure, or neurologic impairment may be treated with intramuscular/subcutaneous glucagon or concentrated intravenous glucose. Sustained carbohydrate intake and observation may be necessary because hypoglycemia may recur after apparent clinical recovery. Hypokalemia must be corrected appropriately.
Humulin R U-500 Dosage and Administration
Humulin R U-500 is usually given two or three times daily before meals. The dosage and time of Humulin R U-500 should be individualized and determined, based on the physician's advice, in accordance with the needs of the patient. The injection of Humulin R U-500 should be followed by a meal within approximately 30 minutes of administration.
The average range of total daily insulin requirement for maintenance therapy in insulin-treated patients without severe insulin resistance lies between 0.5 and 1.0 unit/kg/day. However, in pre-pubertal children it usually varies from 0.7 to 1.0 unit/kg/day, but can be much lower during the period of partial remission. In situations of insulin resistance, e.g., during puberty or due to obesity, the daily insulin requirement may be substantially higher. Initial dosages for type 2 diabetes patients are often lower, e.g., 0.2 to 0.4 units/kg/day.
Humulin R U-500 is useful for the treatment of insulin resistant patients with diabetes requiring daily doses of more than 200 units, since a large dose may be administered subcutaneously in a reasonable volume.
Humulin R U-500 may be administered by subcutaneous injection in the abdominal wall, the thigh, the gluteal region or in the upper arm. Subcutaneous injection into the abdominal wall ensures a faster absorption than from other injection sites. Injection into a lifted skin fold minimizes the risk of intramuscular injection. Injection sites should be rotated within the same region. As with all insulin, the duration of action will vary according to the dose, injection site, blood flow, temperature, and level of physical activity.
Humulin R U-500 should only be administered subcutaneously. Do not administer Humulin R U-500 intravenously or intramuscularly.
Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. Never use Humulin R U-500 if it has become viscous (thickened) or cloudy; use it only if it is clear and colorless. Humulin R U-500 should not be used after the printed expiration date.
Do not mix Humulin R U-500 with other insulins, as there are no data to support such use.
When administering Humulin R U-500
If U-100 insulin syringes are used, since their markings are in units and are designed and intended for use with the less concentrated U-100 insulin products, it is extremely important to explain the amount of Humulin R U-500 insulin to be administered in both actual dose and with specification of "unit markings" on the U-100 syringe.
If tuberculin syringes are used, since their markings are in volume (mL), the actual amount of Humulin R U-500 should be explained in both actual dose and with specification of volume (mL). Table 1 contains conversion information using both U-100 insulin and tuberculin syringes to help avoid dose confusion.
|Humulin R U-500

(volume in mL)
|Dose (actual Humulin R U-500 units)
|Divide dose (actual Humulin R U-500 units) by 5

For doses other than those listed above refer to the following formulas:
U-100 insulin syringe
Divide prescribed Dose (actual units) by 5 = Unit markings in a U-100 insulin syringe.
Tuberculin syringe
Divide prescribed Dose (actual units) by 500 = Volume (mL) in a tuberculin syringe
Not in-use (unopened): Humulin R U-500 vials not in-use should be stored in a refrigerator, (2° to 8°C [36° to 46°F]), but not in the freezer.
In-use (opened): The Humulin R U-500 vial currently in-use can be kept unrefrigerated as long as it is kept as cool as possible (below 30°C [86°F]) away from heat and light. In-use vials must be used within 40 days or be discarded, even if they still contain Humulin R U-500.
Do not use Humulin R U-500 after the expiration date stamped on the label or if it has been frozen.

Humulin® (HU-mu-lin) R
U-500 (Concentrated)
insulin human injection, USP (rDNA origin)
Read the Patient Information that comes with Humulin® R U-500 before you start taking it and each time you get a refill. There may be new information. This leaflet does not take the place of talking with your healthcare provider about your diabetes or treatment.
What is the most important information I should know about Humulin R U-500?
Humulin R U-500 (500 units/mL) contains 5 times as much insulin in 1 mL as standard U-100 (100 units/mL) insulin. This means that it is more concentrated than standard U-100 insulin.
Know your insulin. Make sure you know the strength, dose and type of insulin that is prescribed for you. Do not change the strength, dose or type of insulin you use unless told to do so by your healthcare provider.
It is important that you take the right dose of Humulin R U-500. Taking too much Humulin R U-500 can cause life-threatening low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) or death. Taking too little Humulin R U-500 can cause high blood sugar (hyperglycemia).
There are no special syringes to measure Humulin R U-500. It is important that you use only the syringes that your healthcare provider tells you to use. Your healthcare provider should tell you how much Humulin R U-500 to take and when to take it. Your healthcare provider should show you how to draw up Humulin R U-500. The amount of Humulin R U-500 will be less than the amount of standard U-100 insulin which would be drawn up into the syringe. See the section, "How should I take Humulin R U-500?"
What is Humulin R U-500?
Humulin R U-500 is a prescription medicine used to treat high blood sugar in people with diabetes mellitus. Humulin R U-500 is a man-made insulin that is similar to the insulin produced by the human pancreas. Humulin R U-500 is used along with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar in people with:
- type 1 diabetes.
- type 2 diabetes whose blood sugars are not controlled well with diabetes medicine taken by mouth.
Humulin R U-500 is useful for the treatment of insulin-resistant patients with diabetes who need more than 200 units of insulin a day.
It is not known if Humulin R U-500 is safe and effective in children.
Who should not take Humulin R U-500?
Do not take Humulin R U-500 if:
- your blood sugar is too low (hypoglycemia). See the section, "What are the possible side effects of Humulin R U-500?" for more information on low blood sugar.
- you are allergic to any of the ingredients in Humulin R U-500. See the end of this leaflet for a complete list of ingredients in Humulin R U-500.
What should I tell my healthcare provider before taking Humulin R U-500?
Before you take Humulin R U-500, tell your healthcare provider if you:
- have liver or kidney problems or any other medical conditions. Certain medical conditions can affect your insulin needs and your dose of Humulin R U-500.
- take any other medicines, especially ones commonly called TZDs (thiazolidinediones).
- have heart failure or other heart problems. If you have heart failure, it may get worse while you take TZDs with Humulin R U-500.
- are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding. It is not known if Humulin R U-500 will harm your unborn baby or breast-feeding child. You and your healthcare provider should talk about the best way to manage your diabetes while you are pregnant or breast-feeding. It is especially important to keep good control of your blood sugar during pregnancy.
Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and non-prescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Many medicines can affect your blood sugar levels and your insulin needs. Your Humulin R U-500 dose may need to change if you take other medicines. Especially tell your healthcare provider if you take other medicines to treat your diabetes.
Know the medicines you take. Keep a list of your medicines with you and show it to your healthcare provider and pharmacist when you get a new medicine.
How should I take Humulin R U-500?
- Take Humulin R U-500 exactly as prescribed.
- Do not make any changes to your strength, dose or type of insulin unless you are told to do so by your healthcare provider.
- Check the label carefully to make sure you have the right type and strength of insulin prescribed for you.
- Your healthcare provider should show you how to prepare and inject Humulin R U-500 before you start taking it.
- Humulin R U-500 should look clear and colorless. Do not use Humulin R U-500 if it does not look clear, colorless or has particles in it. Talk with your pharmacist or healthcare provider if you have any questions.
- Follow your healthcare provider's instructions about how often you should check your blood sugar level for hypoglycemia (too low blood sugar) and hyperglycemia (too high blood sugar).
- Humulin R U-500 starts working about 30 minutes after injection. The effects of Humulin R U-500 may last up to 24 hours.
- You should eat a meal within 30 minutes of injecting Humulin R U-500.
- Choose an injection area (upper arm, abdomen, buttocks, or thigh). Change injection sites within the area you choose for each dose. Do not inject into the exact same spot for each injection. Never inject Humulin R U-500 into a vein or muscle.
- Inject Humulin R U-500 under your skin (subcutaneous), as shown to you by your healthcare provider.
- Your healthcare provider should regularly check your diabetes with blood tests, including your blood sugar levels and hemoglobin A1C.
- If you take too much Humulin R U-500, your blood sugar may fall too low (hypoglycemia). You can treat mild low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) by drinking or eating something sugary right away. Always carry a quick source of sugar, such as hard candy, fruit juice or glucose tablets.
- Your healthcare provider may prescribe a glucagon emergency kit so that others can give you an injection if your blood sugar becomes too low (hypoglycemic) and you are unable to take sugar by mouth.
There are no special syringes to measure Humulin R U-500. It is important that you use only the syringes that your healthcare provider tells you to use to give your injections of Humulin R U-500. You should use either a U-100 insulin syringe or tuberculin syringe as instructed by your healthcare provider.
- If you are using U-100 insulin syringes, your healthcare provider should explain how to use this syringe to give the prescribed dose with the unit markings on the syringe.
- If you are using tuberculin syringes, your healthcare provider should explain how to use this syringe to give the prescribed dose with volume markings on the syringe.
If you do not use the right syringe type, you may take the wrong dose of Humulin R U-500. This can cause you to have too low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) or too high blood sugar (hyperglycemia).
Make sure you know:
- your prescribed dose of Humulin R U-500.
- which syringe to use and how to draw up your prescribed dose.
If you do not understand your dose, talk with your healthcare provider about how much insulin to take.
If you are hospitalized or go to an emergency room, make sure to tell the hospital staff the actual dose of Humulin R U-500 that your healthcare provider has prescribed for you.
Your healthcare provider may change your dose of Humulin R U-500 because of:
- illness
- change in diet
- stress
- change in physical activity or exercise
- other medicines you take
- travel
Check your blood sugar and stay on the diet and exercise plan as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
- Do not share needles or syringes with others.
- Place used needles and syringes in a closable, puncture-resistant container. You may use a sharps container (such as a red biohazard container) or a hard plastic container (such as a detergent bottle) or a metal container (such as an empty coffee can). Ask your healthcare provider for instructions on the right way to throw away the container. There may be state and local laws about how you should throw away used needles and syringes.
- Do not throw the container in household trash and do not recycle.
What should I avoid while taking Humulin R U-500?
- Alcohol. Drinking alcohol may affect your blood sugar when you take Humulin R U-500.
- Driving and operating machinery. You may have trouble paying attention or reacting if you have low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Be careful when you drive a car or operate machinery. Ask your healthcare provider if it is all right for you to drive if you have:
- Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
- Decreased or no warning signs of low blood sugar
What are the possible side effects of Humulin R U-500?
Humulin R U-500 can cause serious side effects, including:
- See the section "What is the most important information I should know about Humulin R U-500?"
- Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
Symptoms of low blood sugar may happen suddenly with Humulin R U-500. Symptoms of mild or moderate low blood sugar may include:
Humulin R U-500 can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) that is severe and that can last a long time.
- Severe low blood sugar can cause you to become confused, pass out (become unconscious), have seizures or coma, and could cause death.
Talk to your healthcare provider about how to tell if you have low blood sugar and what to do if this happens while taking Humulin R U-500. Know your symptoms of low blood sugar. Follow your healthcare provider's instructions for treating your low blood sugar.
Tell your healthcare provider if low blood sugar is a problem for you. Your healthcare provider may need to change the amount of Humulin R U-500 that you take, change your meal plans or your exercise program to help you avoid low blood sugar.
- Serious allergic reactions. Get medical help right away if you have any of these symptoms of a severe allergic reaction:
- rash all over your body
- shortness of breath
- trouble breathing (wheezing)
- fast heart beat
- sweating
- feel faint
- Low potassium (hypokalemia) in your blood. Your healthcare provider may do blood tests to check you for low potassium.
Common side effects of Humulin R U-500 include:
- Skin thickening or pits at the injection site (lipodystrophy). Change (rotate) where you inject your insulin to help prevent these skin changes from happening. Do not inject insulin into this type of skin. Do not inject into the exact same spot for each injection.
- Injection site reactions (local allergic reaction). Symptoms may include: redness, swelling and itching at the injection site. Tell your healthcare provider if you have skin reactions that do not go away.
Humulin R U-500 may cause serious side effects, including:
- swelling of your hands and feet
- heart failure. Taking certain diabetes pills called thiazolidinediones or "TZDs" with Humulin R U-500 may cause heart failure in some people. This can happen even if you have never had heart failure or heart problems before. If you already have heart failure it may get worse while you take TZDs with Humulin R U-500. Your healthcare provider should monitor you closely while you are taking TZDs with Humulin R U-500. Tell your healthcare provider if you have any new or worse symptoms of heart failure including:
- shortness of breath
- swelling of your ankles or feet
- sudden weight gain
Treatment with TZDs and Humulin R U-500 may need to be adjusted or stopped by your healthcare provider if you have new or worse heart failure.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away.
These are not all of the possible side effect of Humulin R U-500. For more information, ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
Call your healthcare provider for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

Chemo for Breast Cancer Tied to Long-Term Cognitive Issues
Monday, February 27, 2012 (Last Updated: 02/28/2012)
MONDAY, Feb. 27 (HealthDay News) -- Women treated with cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and fluorouracil (CMF) chemotherapy for breast cancer still experience neuropsychological problems decades later, according to a study published online Feb. 27 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
Vincent Koppelmans, from the Erasmus MC University Medical Center in Rotterdam, Netherlands, and colleagues compared the cognitive performance of 196 women who had received CMF chemotherapy for breast cancer an average of 21 years earlier and 1,509 women without a history of cancer.
The researchers found that, compared to the reference group, the women who had received chemotherapy had significantly worse performance on cognitive tests of immediate and delayed verbal memory, information processing speed, executive functioning, and psychomotor speed. Women treated with CMF chemotherapy had significantly fewer symptoms of depression, but they had significantly more memory complaints which could not be explained by cognitive test performance.
"Survivors of breast cancer treated with adjuvant CMF chemotherapy more than 20 years ago perform worse, on average, than random population controls on neuropsychological tests," Koppelmans and colleagues conclude. "The pattern of cognitive problems is largely similar to that observed in patients shortly after cessation of chemotherapy."

Canadian eco-startup TerraCycle's international reputation for innovative recycling has caught the eye of one of North America's largest waste management companies, Progressive Waste Solutions, which just bought a 20 per cent...
Canadian eco-startup TerraCycle's international reputation for innovative recycling has caught the eye of one of North America's largest waste management companies, Progressive Waste Solutions, which just bought a 20 per cent stake in the non-profit recycler to battle waste streams no other company will touch.
Since its founding in 2001, TerraCycle has turned heads with its creative upcycling methods. It takes a wide range of products considered to be non-recyclable, such as used chewing gum and cigarettes, and finds new uses for them.
Progressive Waste has entered the fray by offering its vast recycling infrastructure and resources to TerraCycle, but CEO Joe Quarin wants to let TerraCycle and CEO Tom Szaky alone when it comes to the actual ideas and innovation that make the non-profit a visionary Canadian outfit.
"They've built a business model, and they've got the economics figured out," Quarin told EcoLog News at the January 29, 2014 Toronto launch of the partnership. "We bring the infrastructure, and hopefully, a lot more efficiency to reduce the cost of aggregating that material," added Quarin.
While environmental critics argue that products like coffee pods, pens, chip bags, ink cartridges and toothbrushes should be designed and manufactured to be recycled on a large scale, reform has yet to come.
But Szaky told EcoLog News that TerraCycle's work is inspirational for regulators worldwide. He proudly boasts that his company's efforts against two of the most littered products in the world, chewing gum and cigarettes, have been replicated in seven countries. The gum is used to make "minty fresh" polymer-based products, says Szaky, while cigarettes can be used to make items like factory pallets.
In 2013 alone, says Szaky, both Israel and Brazil enacted major extended producer responsibility (EPR) legislation. He believes that with every new TerraCycle venture, it encourages legislators to go a little bit further to reduce the waste stream. TerraCycle, he says, demonstrates the possibilities. He considers his organization's own work, along with the help of the caring Canadians who submit products, to be "voluntary EPR."
"Every time countries [enact EPR], companies around waste think more, and wonder how they can proactively solve this instead of just paying a tax and stepping back," says Szaky. "It opens up innovation in the world of waste, and that's the essence of this partnership that we hope to bring with the sheer operational might of a company like Progressive Waste and the innovation of TerraCycle," adds Szaky.
Globally, TerraCycle has repurposed more than 2.6 billion pieces of food and beverage products, office and school supplies, e-waste and other hard-to-recycle waste streams such as diaper packaging. These collections have raised more than $8 million dollars for charity through various packaging reclamation programs.
One of the most ambitious aspects of the new David and Goliath partnership between TerraCycle and Progressive Waste is a zero-waste pilot project set for Maple Ridge, British Columbia (B.C.). The project allows the municipality of 76,000 to have curbside recycling for virtually any used product, from bathroom supplies to automotive parts, toys, even human hair.
Maple Ridge is the first of 25 communities where TerraCycle has curbside pickup for non-recyclable products.
The Maple Ridge project works by using a consumer-based bag pickup system. Dozens of bags representing different product categories can be purchased from TerraCycle's website. While most of the bags are in the $12 range, some, like the ones for coffee, cigarettes and breakfast cereal liners, are free.
"Making recycling as easy as possible for consumers is a key step towards one day reaching a zero-waste society," says Nina Purewal, TerraCycle Canada's general manager.
TerraCycle uses the funds it receives from recovered products to maintain its practices and reinvest in its core mandate of leaving no waste stream behind.
Szaky says that within the next couple of decades he hopes that waste management companies won't even need to exist — there would just raw material companies that view used products as valuable and reusable.
Szaky also wants to see more partnerships between major waste companies and eco-startups. He hopes the new TerraCycle-Progressive partnership will help get the ball rolling.
In the meantime, Szaky says he wants consumers to think about the products they buy, and whether it's worth supporting unsustainable designs. Every purchase is a vote for that product, he says.
"Consumers need to rethink what they vote for, and companies need to innovate from ever needing our systems in the first place," says Szaky.
TerraCycle's next big sustainability project? Feminine hygiene products. Stay tuned.

SALEM, Ore. - A convicted rapist whose early release from prison sparked protest from his victim will have to go before a parole board again, a judge decided on Friday.
Richard Gillmore, 48, was convicted in the 1986 rape of then 13-year-old Tiffany Edens. In 1987, he was sentenced to at least 30 years in prison, a long sentence stemming from the fact that he was also suspected in six other rapes, but could not be charged because of the statute of limitations.
In 2007, a state parole board decided to release Gillmore nine years early, a move that angered Edens, who claimed that the board repeatedly denied her opportunities to protest his release. Edens and the Multnomah County district attorney then decided to sue the parole board.
Edens (pictured on the right) has pointed to psychology reports that show Gillmore has a 75 percent chance of re-offending within 10 years and a 50 percent chance within three years.
However, the state parole board said they believed Gillmore's behavior could be closely monitored upon release using GPS. The plan was to have him live in subsidized housing in downtown Portland.
All of that is on hold now after a Marion County Circuit Court judge decided that the state parole board should conduct a new parole consideration hearing where Edens would have the opportunity to participate.
"After dealing with the parole board, I really lost faith and belief in our judicial system and really felt like it was them against us. And for Judge Lipscomb to make this decision, it's like I have faith again," Edens said in reaction to the news.
On a side note, the Multnomah County Department of Community Justice had planned a public meeting before Gillmore's scheduled release date of Jan. 18.
Although Gillmore will not be getting out as planned, organizers have decided to hold the meeting anyway so the public's concerns can be addressed.
The meeting is scheduled to be held from 7 to 9 p.m. on Jan. 16 at Portland State University's Smith Memorial Center Ballroom located at 1825 S.W. Broadway Street.

Winter feels like it's well and truly here, bringing with it knee-high boots, an excuse to cuddle up on the sofa watching reality TV on a Saturday night and Christmas presents. And also, for many of us, an emergency skincare regime to mend skin ravaged by the cold, humid weather and the annual switching on of the central heating.Special attention to your skin in winter can help solve common problems including dry, flaky skin and breakouts …
"Cold snaps and central heating can all contribute to a break down in the barrier function of the epidermis," explains Dr Darren Mckeown. "The epidermis is the top layer of skin and its main function is to act as a safety barrier between us and the rest of the world. When it gets broken down, it doesn't retain water properly and the result is dry, flaky skin.
"It also means bacteria and pollutants can affect the skin more, creating redness and breakouts."
To prevent this happening, winter skin needs a little extra care and a lot of extra moisture
Follow our seven steps to keeping your complexion glowing all winter long:
1. Hot cloth cleansing
Though many dermatologists advise washing your face in water to ensure a proper cleanse and to avoid unnecessary pulling of the skin by cotton wool pas, in winter water can actually dehydrate your skin. Step up Eve Lom balm cleaner with muslin cloth.
This critically acclaimed technique has the best of both worlds during the winter. Soak the muslin (or use a cotton flannel) in hot water while you apply the balm to the face. Wring out the muslin and stretch it over your face to allow the warm to open the pores. Gently remove the balm with the wet material. This gives you gentle exfoliation and the balm doesn't dry out the skin, both of which will make break outs less likely.
Follow with a gentle toner to remove any residue and to return the pH balance of the skin to normal. This technique means you exfoliate every day but you may also see the benefit of using an exfoliator designed for your skin type once a week.
For a cheaper version, any cream cleanser will do the trick.Moisturisers for night and day have different skin caring properties ©Rex
2. Use a different night and day cream
Dr McKeown recommends moisturising creams that combine occulusives – ingredients that form a layer over the skin and keep water in – and humectants – that attract water into the cells. Day and night moisturisers are blended differently to include these properties.
It may sounds decadent to have two pricy pots but they do different jobs. Day moisturisers are designed to protect your skin from the elements, which is particularly important in winter. Many contain sun protection to fight the signs of aging and are lighter to be worn under make up. While you sleep your skin does most of its repairing so night creams tend to be designed to help moisture penetrate the skin over several hours to help with recovery. They are also more likely to contain higher levels of anti-aging ingredients such as AHAs that can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight.
3. Wear sunscreen and if you're out in the elements, protect your face
"Sunscreen in the winter is just as important and it's the first thing I'd recommend," says aesthetic nurse Lee Garrett from FreedomhealthSKIN. "It also protects against wind and pollutants and is vital if you're using any ingredients, such as AHAs, that make your skin sensitive to sunlight.
If you do anything active that involves being out in the elements, protect your face physically as much as you can with a scarf. There are now some not-completely-unstylish balaclavas and face protectors available for cycling and other sports if you're worried about looking like a ninja.
4. Serums
Serums contain a higher concentration of active ingredients than moisturisers, so can make all the difference to tired winter skin. Common ingredients include hyaluronic acid for hydration, glycolic acid for exfoliation and vitamin C to brighten and fade pigmentation and brown spots. They're usually gel and should be used before moisturiser or sun protection but after toning.
5. Keep hydratedKeep hydrated from the inside and it will show on your skin ©Rex
Hydrate your skin from within by drinking plenty of water, (especially if you're out partying) herbals teas that don't contain caffeine and fruit and vegetable juices. Soup and other water-based foods are also good to keep your skin well watered and fruit and veg contains all the antioxidants and vitamins it needs to repair itself. If you have your central heating on, place a bowl of water underneath the radiators to increase the humidity in the air.

The ship, which was carrying a consignment of limestone, broke in half.
Middlebury is gorgeous, with big, open quads and limestone buildings that echo Yale's.

Lime carbonate is the principal constituent of limestone and marble.
Shell ore, block ore, and limestone also exist in abundance.

limestone is even more dangerous if any pollution exists in the vicinity.
In corroboration of this Stayman reports that it is not found growing native in clayey, limestone soils.
Timothy and blue grass are most productive on cool, limestone soils.
A sedimentary rock consisting primarily of calcium carbonate, often in the form of the minerals calcite or aragonite, and sometimes with magnesium carbonate in the form of dolomite. Minor amounts of silica, feldspar, pyrite, and clay may also be present. Limestone can occur in many colors but is usually white, gray, or black. It forms either through the accumulation and compaction of fossil shells or other calcium-carbonate based marine organisms, such as coral, or through the chemical precipitation of calcium carbonate out of sea water.
Sedimentary rock formed primarily of calcium carbonate, often the skeletons of small marine organisms.

Politico | The Huffington Post
Politico reporter Mike Allen Thursday took issue with a Huffington Post story that said former Miss. Gov. Haley Barbour left the super PAC American Crossroads. Barbour, Peter H. Stone's story said, was "appalled" by the way a Crossroads initiative "was rolled out on the front page of The New York Times in early February by the group's president, Steven Law."
Allen links to the HuffPost story in his enjoyable morning "Playbook" email with the heading "PLAYBOOK LIFE LESSONS – WHY YOU SHOULDN'T GO AHEAD AND POST A STORY WITHOUT TALKING TO THE KEY PERSON, even if they're traveling."
Stone's story "has no basis in fact," Barbour tells Allen.
Nobody at HP even talked to me about it. From the beginning of my involvement with American Crossroads in 2011, I repeatedly, consistently and publicly said my participation with Crossroads was to try to help elect a Republican president in the 2012 election. That effort ended last November; so did my American Crossroads effort. I left with high regard and respect for American Crossroads and its entire team, many of whom have been friends as well as colleagues of mine for many years. I expect them to help elect a lot of Republicans over the years to come.
Reached by email, Huffington Post Washington Bureau Chief Ryan Grim, who edited Stone's article alongside Sasha Belenky, said he was "100% confident" in Stone's sourcing. He points to a Politico article from February that said a Crossroads fundraising effort carried an approving Barbour quote.
"These are people very close to the situation," Grim writes of Stone's sources. Crossroads wanted him to stay on. He's not staying on, and was extremely bothered by the way the project was rolled out in the Times. None of that is in question."
It's not especially difficult to find Politico articles posted without comment from key people: California Attorney General Kamala Harris was traveling and couldn't speak to Jonathan Allen for an article last week, for example, and a blog post last September pondered out loud whether The Atlantic was shuttering its print product without comment from the magazine.
Still, Allen's principle is sound: You should always try to get comment from a subject. Grim said HuffPost gave Barbour "at least 3 hours, Crossroads a little more than an hour" to respond. Allen has not yet replied to an email requesting comment.
I used to work with Grim at Washington City Paper. I also used to work at Allbritton Communications, which owns Politico.
Related: Politico hits Washington Post for 'more voyeuristic than relevant' Romney bullying story | Politico's media criticism criticized by media critics | Politico victorious in 'Woodward's War'
Correction: An earlier version of this post quoted Grim as saying HuffPost had given Barbour "a little more than an hour" to respond. Updated info above.

Hi, thanks for looking at our blog. There are 2 of us running it, but we both prefer to stay anonymous. This is the only live Spinozist blog on the internet we know of. We love Spinoza, and wish more people did too.
The name of our website comes from an important event in Spinoza's life. Johan and Cornelius de Witt were the political leaders who oversaw the great Golden Age of the Holland of Rembrandt, of Vermeer, of the great scientific and commercial achievements of the Dutch Republic. They were lynched by a mob in The Hague in 1672, and literally torn to bits.
Spinoza, who realised his and his friends' freedom to privately philosophise was due to the climate of tolerance they had created, was known to be a preternaturally calm person; the occasion of the murders was the only time we know of when he got really, really angry. Gottfried Wilhelm (von) Leibniz, the soon to be famous German philosopher came to visit, 4 years after the murders. He wrote:
I have spent several hours with Spinoza, after dinner. He said to me that, on the day of the massacres of the De Witts, he wanted to go out at night and post a placard near the site of the massacres reading ultimi barbarorum. But his host locked the house to keep him from going out, for he would be exposed to being torn to pieces.
Ultimi barbarorum is difficult to translate; English lacks a proper vocative case. We can best think of it as "O ultimate barbarians," or "you are the greatest of barbarians".
So, I am "Baruch", and my dear collaborator is "Bento". We find it hard to be so calm when confronted with the illiberal barbarities that crop up so frequently in our political, social, economic and religious life today. This is why we have started Ultimibarbarorum.com. We need a venue to rant. Like Spinoza, here we take our stand. This is our online placard. We say No More! We will expose you, horrible Barbarians. No-one is likely to care, but we will feel better about it afterwards. This is Baruch's and Bento's promise.
We also intend to use the site to explore Spinoza's philosophy and ideas, and relate them to our times. Our ability to live by the lights of Reason is under threat from all sides and within, from the ultimate barbarians who would impose Islamic and Christian versions of religious law, from politicians eager to use fear and appeal to paranoia to keep their hold on power, from religious preachers and politicians who know, absolutely, that they are in possession of the ultimate truth, and from violent, terrified populations who are prepared to give up all the advantages and prosperity Spinoza's legacy has endowed us, to commit any crimes, in return for false promises of security and salvation.
Baruch, (aka Benedictus, or Bento) de Spinoza is probably the most important philosopher since the Greeks, but not as well known as much lesser figures (like that fool Leibnitz). He is important because he made it possible for us to be modern, or at least described a way we could make sense of a world where the stultifying writ of public religion or absolute monarchy no longer held. He is the great philosopher of liberty. Locke, Burke, Jefferson, Rousseau and Mill are all thought of as key shapers of modern political thought, but before all of them there was Spinoza. His were the shoulders on which they sat to see more clearly. We owe him our open societies, our liberty to criticize, and the freedom to discover and experiment; the keys to our current prosperity.
After his death, Spinoza's ideas percolated through western society like a virulent meme, influencing educated minds across Europe, and eventually reaching North America, where they achieved their greatest flowering. In their private writings, both Franklin, Jefferson and their peers show themselves to be heavily in Spinoza's debt. They took the then-astonishing step of founding a Republic based on principles of Reason as characterised by Spinoza, with freedom of religion and thought as its very centre.
Some words of explanation for what you will find here.
- The function of posts tagged "Barbarians" are to point fingers at people who we consider would have been cheerful members of the mob who did in the De Witts. Enemies of the philosophy of liberty. Best marginalised and ridiculed.
- "Stupid Cartesians" are those who should know better; educated, they are likely to have been led to water but have decided not to drink. Like the Cartesians of Spinoza's time, they are ostensibly clever. However they are not wise. They are liable to stand with the forces of barbarism against Spinozists and "Fellow Collegiants".
- "Fellow Collegiants" are our fellow-travellers, Spinozist running dogs, if you like. They are named after groups of religious dissidents who used to meet in private houses in the Holland of Spinoza's time, and from which many of Spinoza's early followers were drawn. They may come at the same problems from different angles, they may be moderately religious, conservative or radical, but they nevertheless come to the same conclusions. Still not quite "one of us", they are nevertheless our friends.
- "Lens Grinding" posts are to do with practical matters. Spinoza financed his philosophising via polishing and finishing high-precision optical lenses for the scientists of his time. It was demanding work, physically and intellectually. Some think the glass dust eventually killed him, affecting his lungs. Meantime Spinoza became almost as familiar with then-extant scientific theories of optics as he was with theology and philosophy. Baruch studies financial markets and tries to turn a penny investing in them. He likes to write about them too, and thinks them a valuable testing-bed for theories about rationality. "So much data," as Benoit Mandelbrot said. No-one really knows what Bento does.
- "Philosophising" is exactly that. We are not so gifted as to be able to construct a radically new view of man's place in the world, but we try, in our extremely limited way, to further the work of Spinoza and relate it to the modern world and subsequent discoveries in nature.
- "What would Spinoza do?" posts reflect our anguish when the facts don't fit the theories.
- "Eurovision" posts concern the Eurovision song contest. Deal with it.

This is a N.W.R. and has a limited number of campsites on the island. This is also an excellant and popular boating area (especially for shallow draft boats as Willapa Bay is quite shallow at low tide - if not completely mud!)

Andrea Holschbach, left, director of human resources for the Manitowoc Public School District, speaks at Tuesday evening's school board meeting. Listening are, from left, board members J.J. Ploederl and Karen Rohrer, central office secretary Becky McLafferty, and board member Chrystal Myer.
The Manitowoc Board of Education approved staffing for 2013-14 that amounts to a decrease of 2.4 full-time equivalents throughout the district, although Superintendent Mark Swanson stressed the board has the power to increase staffing as it goes through the budget process.
Board members on Tuesday evening voted 5-1 to approve the administration's recommendation to reduce teaching staff by 4.4 FTEs at the secondary level and also voted 5-1 to increase teaching staff by two full-time equivalents at the elementary level. J.J. Ploederl voted no, and Catherine Shallue was absent.

Vashek can WOK THE DUCK, can you? New Yinachi Onestar
07 Jul 2013
We just got a bunch of awesome new colors in and we're excited to show them off. First up, the ultimate looping machine, Loop 1080 is receiving a full stock in 2 new colorways. Creating the perfect looper has been a labor of love here at YoYoFactory. A challenge that has spanned over 3 years and several models. We are proud of the results and can't wait for you to try them!
Heres another shot of the new Loop 1080 colorways. We've got the bright and flashy edge-glow yellow with neon pink caps for the flashy crowd. And for those looking for something more subtle and understated, clear with gold print.
The ONEstar has become a new canvas for special editions, and a mainstay for anyone looking for amazing performance at a good price. We wanted to spice things up for the latest general release with this solid red ONEstar with new cap art.
Finally, we have a special edition ONEstar. We went with a sleek matte black finish and our popular "Triple" logo.

ONEstar Launch Postponement
YoYoFactory has an undeniable commitment to quality and performance yoyos at every price, something that has underpinned our development of the ONEstar and also lead to the decision today to delay the launch of the ONEstar.
Original prerelease versions of the ONEstar featured a very large gap, in narrowing that gap it appears the bearing seat durability has been compromised to a degree impacting on durability and longer term performance. We apologies to everyone anticipating this launch and reinforce our commitment to making ONEstar the best performance value plastic yoyo in the world.
A new release date has not been scheduled but we anticipate it will be early in 2013. This will effect both general release and the PAUL HAN champions collection wave 2 ONEstar.
Thank You for your support and understanding.

Paul Han ONEstar
Paul Han is a yo-yo legend. After 15+ years of yo-yoing, Paul has traveled the entire world to promote yo-yoing, he has more competition titles under his belt than almost any other yo-yo player, and he is still one of the most recognizable faces in yo-yoing today. The only yo-yo that we could see matching Paul's massive influence on the yo-yo world is the all new ONEstar. Using the popular shape of the Protostar and the unbelievably durable material of the ONE, the ONEstar is pure performance at a budget price. Top it off with a hot pink body and zebra printed caps and you have a yo-yo that is as dynamic as Paul Han.

Jays Bistro
135 W. Oak St.

Style: World Eclectic (chefs description)
Dinner: $16 to $38 (main dishes)
Lunch specials: $11 to $13

The hard-working chefs at Jays Bistro are busy lightening things up a bit.
Theyll be the first to tell you that tradition, however especially on a menu as iconic as Jays shouldnt be messed with, but say they believe even the best of tastes can be made better.
In addition to adding a different flavor profile and lighter dishes, Executive Chef Rhys Edmunds has focused on perfecting the sauces that complement each course.
Weve changed a lot of our sauces so that theyre a lot lighter now than they were three years ago, Edmunds, 38, said. Weve switched from wheat flour to rice flour. The taste is more delicate and the sauce is silky, as opposed to traditional rue which is thicker and richer.
Lighter sauces have not changed the heft of the choices on the eclectic menu, though, which includes items that have been available for much of the establishments 33 years. Respectable portions of filet mignon, pork, rib-eye steak and lamb remain favorites, as do Ahi Tuna, Chilean Sea Bass and stuffed quail. Many of these flavorful, beloved recipes have been influenced by owner and Chef Jay Witlen, who brings the tastes of his world travels back to the kitchen.
Still, theres always something new to dig into.
Edmunds, who has been in Jays kitchen for nine years, said his current favorite is Asian Inspired Boneless Beef Short Ribs. Served with Korean slaw and sweet-potato cakes, its a lot of fun to make.
The good times for Sous Chef Eric Inscho come from the challenge of creating flavorful lunch dishes and soups using ingredients purchased for dinner menus.
I do a lot of specials where I take what were using at night and make something unique out of it, he said. Its part of what we do all the time when we work with local farmers. We consider what will be available next week, and what well do with it.
Inscho, a local chef for 15 years, said he brings the same integrity of service and consistency of product evident in dinner menus to the lunchtime rush.
We do a pretty good lunch, and its pretty affordable, Inscho said. Daily lunch specials run between $11 and $13, and offer good-sized portions, he said. An all-time favorite, Penne Pasta Gorgonzola, is $10, or $12 with chicken.
And people can do lunch the way they want to, Edmunds said. They can have three courses or they can have a 15-minute lunch.
Both chefs, who earned their positions through on-the-job training, said they enjoy the energetic and upbeat atmosphere of the restaurant, and the hectic pace of the kitchen, which serves 150 diners on a busy night. We did 240 on Valentines Day, Edmunds said.
At lunchtime, the pace can be quicker, as most diners expect to get in and out.
I like it when it comes together as a flow. You get your rhythm, its hectic, but when youre on top of it, it feels really good when you come out the other side of it and youre like, Wow, I handled that, Inscho said.
The chefs said they are looking forward to this years special menu events, including the $50 Beer vs. Wine Dinner on Tuesday, in which Odell Brewing Co. and wine representatives compete to match their products with four separate courses.

Cookbook author Nicole Hunn announces a contest in light of the launch of her new cookbook, Gluten Free on a Shoestring Bakes Bread.
Going gluten-free is no small task. There's so much to learn. So many foods you have to give up. And of course, a whole new way to cook and bake. That's why one well-known blogger and cookbook author is taking her "tips and advice" to a whole new level. She's not just offering to help. She's offering herself.
Nicole Hunn writes the popular blog and cookbook series Gluten Free on a Shoestring. To coincide with the December release of her latest book, Gluten Free on a Shoestring Bakes Bread, Nicole is offering a series of giveaways, culminating when one lucky reader will win a day of baking with Nicole – who will make a bread-baking house call to the winner's home.
The giveaways kicked off on November 11th when Nicole asked blog readers to share "Bread Memories" of their pre-gluten-free days for a chance to win a bundle of baking supplies and an autographed copy of Gluten Free on a Shoestring Bakes Bread.
The second giveaway, to be announced the week of November 18th, will include copies of the new book, plus a stand mixer and a home bread proofer, sponsored by Kitchen Aid and Brod & Taylor.
For the grand finale, one lucky reader will win a day of bread baking in his or her own kitchen with Nicole herself! That's right, Nicole will drive or fly to the winner's home for a day of hands-on, gluten-free bread baking guidance. The grand prize will be triggered when Nicole's new book reaches a predetermined number of pre-orders.
"Gluten-free baking can be overwhelming. And for many, the final frontier is conquering gluten-free bread," Nicole says. That's why she wants to remove the fear and restore the enjoyment. "When you have to eat gluten-free, there's a real emotional loss. A loss of the foods you love and remember. Simple family traditions like pizza night, Sunday morning pancakes, or even hot, buttery breadsticks at your favorite restaurant."
With Gluten Free on a Shoestring Bakes Bread, Nicole's goal is to help people bring back those memories - and turn them into a gluten-free reality. And for one lucky winner, Nicole will be helping them do it, right in their own kitchen. "I want people to see that they can enjoy their favorite foods once again. And that gluten-free bread can be as good - or even better - than the breads they've had to give up."
To learn more about Nicole's gluten-free road giveaways, including her bread-baking house call, visit Gluten Free on a Shoestring.
