Brad and Jan Barnes had their trip to an RV show in West Virginia all planned for September 2001.
Little did they know the fateful date they had chosen would change the course of history – and their own lives so much.
Being in the United States after the worst terrorist attack in history the Barnes were enlisted for disaster relief by the International Red Cross.
They were recruited at their campsite when the disaster team was rounding the troops.
Fast forward more than a decade later and they're retired in Prince Edward Island where they continue to help people in need, now as volunteers for the local Red Cross health equipment loan program, which is sponsored by the Government of Prince Edward Island.
The Health Equipment Loan Program (HELP), is a national program of the Canadian Red Cross that provides health equipment to individuals dealing with illness or injury.
The Prince Edward Island government has committed $200,000 to get the program off the ground here and help empower thousands of people each year to live more independently.
The Barnes are happy to be able to give their time to help.
"It doesn't take a lot of your time and it is the right thing to do," Jan Barnes said.
The former Ontario residents who have retired to St. Peter's Bay spend about four hours a week doing everything from fixing and cleaning the equipment to marketing the program.
"We aren't that far – God forbid – from needing some of that equipment," Jan said.
The program assists seniors with mobility issues, allows people to return home from hospital earlier, and supports those in palliative care who wish to spend their final days in the comfort of their own home.
For anyone who needs medical equipment to live safely at home, the Red Cross provides aids such as:
- Wheelchairs
- Walkers
- Bath seats and benches
- Commodes and toilet seats
- Crutches and canes
- Bed handles
- Other durable medical equipment
For more information visit the Red Cross Website and learn about the Health Equipment Loan Program.

When you are reading this, I'll be back to work at the State Park in Vermont, happy to be in our summer digs! I can get back to quilting and most importantly, active grand-parenting!!!! And parenting, of course, in a "I've got your back" kind of way; minimal interference has always been my motto, learned from a wonderful mother-in-law who always was there when needed but never told us what we should be doing unless we asked.
For our Friday Finds, I have a some goodies for you. I think you will enjoy them!
1. You will know, if you've been reading the blog regularly, that I've become quite enamored with wool applique. I have made a new friend over at Threadbias who does other things with wool. She directed me to Purlbee to see a beautiful felted woold quillow I wanted to share with you. You will find it here. This picture shows it folded into a pillow; it's also a quilt. Check out the how-tos. It's lovely!
There's a Quiltmaker's 100 Block Blog Hop for Volume 7 going on presently. You know I've been traveling and am a little out of the loop so thanks so to Barb L. for the update. I'm going to check it out soon. Here's where you will find Day One of the Blog Hop.
2. I wanted to share this "Blooming Hearts" tutorial from an earlier Quiltmaker Blog Hop, Volume #5. The tutorial is over here at Quilted Cora. What a gorgeous bed runner it makes!
3. Now that I have a Kindle, thanks to a gift from a dear friend, I am more interested in carriers, etc. for these type of items. I saw this tutorial quite some time ago, but I"m not sure I ever shared it with you. If I have already shared it, please forgive me. It's getting hard to remember which ones I've shown!! Today's is a tablet stand, suitable I would think for everything from an iPod to a small e-machine. I think it's so cute and a good idea, if you want a hands-free feature. Check here to find the tutorial given by from Pixels to Patchwork.
4. Do you keep a supply of 2 1/2″ strips at all times? I do have some, but not as many as Luann has over at Loose Threads! I admire the Leftovers Quilt she made using some of her many strips and I thought you might like it too. You can find the tutorial here.
5. Are you familiar with Quilting on the Square? It's a great resource for quilt blocks. Quilting on the Square is just starting another free Design of the Month, called Flowers All Around. This first free one is called "Spike Your English". It's explained as a combination of English Paper Piecing and Foundation Paper Piecing. It sounds intriguing to me so I"m using this as #5 on the Friday Finds this week. Check here to learn about this Design of the Month program and perhaps you'll want to join in. This first one is definitely a WOW!
That's it for today. I'll be 'back in the saddle' soon and will have some WIPs and, hopefully, some Finished Projects to share!
Happy Stitching!
Marsha I love the Friday finds.. thank you… are you going to the family reunion? I am looking for pattern for a mug rug.. Jan
Hi Jan. Yes, wwe will be at family reunion. Check my Tutorials section to see various mug rugs I've featured. Also the April Showers blog hop (see the button on the right side of my web page) had lots of different ones. Hope that helps.
Do you have a tutorial or know where a good tutorial on snowballing corners? Is there a rule of thumb what size they should be in comparison to the block? Your tutorials are great…thanks for keeping a fabulous blog!
Linda I do know of two good tutes on this, one with explanation of the ratio of block to corners. I will post both next Friday as it's good information but I'm emailing you what you need today.

Kanye West called into Hot 97 earlier this week to explain why he wasn't happy with his ranking on MTV News' 'Hottest MCs' list, and one of the highlights of that phone call was him declaring that he'd given roundtable moderator Sway Calloway his first TV! During Wednesday's (March 6) episode of "RapFix Live" Sway actually brought the TV to the set, and explained how the now infamous TV exchange happened in the first place. Watch him explain in the video above.
"I didn't want to even call to talk about this #7 list, I just wanted to tell everybody I gave Sway his first TV — and he need to remember that," West said during his call. While explaining the story Sway reiterated that he does not making any judging calls during the heated debate, serving only as moderator.

My fellowship on the Clore leadership programme has entered a new phase. I'm taking six months out of my job at The National Archives to focus fully on the fellowship – I'll not be back until the end of July.
There won't be any time to twiddle my thumbs. I'll be doing two work placements in different organisations, going on various training courses, researching and writing a paper on an aspect of leadership, attending a two-week residential course with the other Clore fellows (the sequel to our first Bore Place experience), and much else besides.
I'm immensely lucky to be able to make the most of the fellowship by spending time away from work. Not all the fellows are doing the same. Yet whereas the six-month hiatus felt like a long time when I thought about it in advance, it now seems to be speeding by at an alarming rate.

1. Eat five to six times a day to keep your body energized and to ensure that it is burning calories efficiently throughout the day.I don't know if American chef, author and television personality Julia Child, would subscribe to each of these tenets but she did promote the notion that we didn't have to prepare fancy or complicated dishes to enjoy a lovely meal. Her passionately expressed and widely acknowledged approach was simple: "just good food from fresh ingredients." In this sense, clean eating adds another dimension to Julia Child's wholehearted embrace of simple, wonderful meals enjoyed with family and good friends.
2. Drink at least two liters of water a day.
3. Read labels and avoid foods with a long list of ingredients whose names you cannot pronounce.
4. Avoid processed and refined foods such as white flour, sugar, bread and pasta and instead enjoy whole grains.
5. Steer clear of fried foods, foods high in sugar and foods high in saturated or trans fats.
6. Consume meats that are locally and humanely raised.
7. Consume healthy fats every day.
8. Learn about portion size and eat portions consistent with the guidelines.
9. Eat produce that is seasonal and locally grown to reduce your carbon footprint.
10. Limit red wine to a glass a day or drink water with a wedge of lemon instead.
12. Pack a cooler for work or outings so you can eat clean on the go.
13. Share mealtimes with loved ones.

Breaking Up (a Big Bank) is Hard to Do
TheStreet) -- Kudos to former Citigroup (C - Get Report) head Sanford 'Sandy" Weill for reinvigorating the debate on how to resolve hard-to-manage, poor returning and 'too big to fail' universal banks. Weill -- who is largely credited with creating our present-day 'too big to fail' banking system after successfully advocating for the dismantling of the Glass Steagall Act -- won't likely be a key part of breaking up universal banks overnight, even if his Wednesday morning CNBC interview is a compelling case.But breaking up universal banks starts with change in surprising places and entails a difficult, multi-year effort. For instance, analysts and industry professionals note that even if broken up, many of the independent units of dismantled mega-banks could yet pose the risks that spurred Weill's change of heart. Independent investment banks may remain the threat to investors, taxpayers and the economy that they were during the financial crisis. Meanwhile, the creation of 'too big to fail' bank balance sheets - primarily JPMorgan, Bank of America and Citigroup -- may have engendered lingering structural problems within traditional deposit taking and lending banking businesses. "In order to solve the issue of too big to fail, you've got to fix the problem of too small to succeed," says Nancy Bush, a banking sector analyst and head of consultancy NAB Research. After Weill convinced regulators on the merits of universal banks in Citicorp's 1998 merger with Travelers and had the Glass Steagall Act 'shattered', Bush notes that an era of industry consolidation and balance sheet growth, followed by the financial crisis and hundreds of billions in bailouts has wildly distorted the overall U.S. banking system. That's because the creation of 'too big to fail' banks like Citigroup, which took $45 billion in taxpayer funds to survive the 2008 financial crisis, have an implicit government and taxpayer subsidy which make them more compelling as depositories. Ratings agencies generally agree, with many like Moody's calculating the size of a government backstop as key in their analysis of a bank's riskiness. In contrast, greater perceived ratings or depositor risk means that the cost of funding for smaller community or regional banks may be higher than those that are deemed too large to fail, giving depositors a false sense of comfort. "We need to create the perception and reality that the community banking system is strong enough to not be failing in another period of volatility," says Bush. In the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's July economic policy review, the regulator provided a striking illustration on the growth of assets at the nation's largest banks - called bank holding companies - and that fall under its jurisdiction. "U.S. BHCs as a group control well over $15 trillion in total assets, representing a fivefold increase since 1991," noted the New York Fed. "Today, the four most complex firms," measured by the number of separate legal entities included within the holding company structure, "each have more than 2,000 subsidiaries, and two have more than 3,000 subsidiaries," while "in contrast, only one firm exceeded 500 subsidiaries in 1991," added the NY Fed, in its review, highlighting the increasing complexity of universal banks. Look no further than TARP, or the Troubled Asset Relief Program, which injected emergency capital into banks during the crisis as a gauge on the health of America's banks. While most bailout funds have been repaid as the nation's largest banks returned bailout money, the majority of recipients - hundreds of small lenders - still cling to government money.NEW YORK (

What is RM Cash
If you aren't getting dirty when you're out riding your bike, you aren't doing it right. But if you can't see because you're too dirty, you're not wearing the right goggles. Everyone from the casual trail rider to the motocross superstar knows how important goggles are. They keep dust out of your eyes. They keep the rain away. Some even have tear-offs that make it easy to get rid of any dirt that has accumulated on them while riding.
The goggles we carry come with a variety of features. Of course, since you'll be wearing them for hours on end, comfort is key. We have goggles that are engineered to fit nicely over your helmet and snuggly against your face. Breathability is also important. Dirt bikes require a lot of effort, and that translates into sweat. But with the right goggles, you'll keep it down to a minimum. Some goggles also come with additional features such as anti-fogging properties for chilly riding. Some even fit right over prescription glasses.
With brands like Spy, 100%, Oakley, Thor, Dragon, Scott, Smith and many others, you know that quality is the name of the game when you shop at Rocky Mountain ATV/MC. Even though we carry hundreds of choices, every single one of them is a quality product that will serve you well on the track or trail. When you shop with us, all you have to worry about is what color scheme and design will best match your existing gear. Browse our selection and pick up a new pair of goggles today!

Been running Scotts for a few years.. Their previous Hustle and Tyrants are sweet.. Just got these 2016 last week.. Um.... they went big time backwards with the face foam, nose cut out in the foam.. Basically the Absorbing pad is chintzy compared to previous models. The nose portion of the foam is way narrow compared to previous years as well. I have a large nose and can hardly breath.. The add says fit system.. well it most defiantly does NOT have the Fit system.. not sure what is up with that... I wasn't to happy and planned to send them back, but my 7 year old loved the color, so he got a new pair of goggles. If that is any indication of the sizing on these.. I plan to make some calls about the goggles them selves. but if you liked the 2014-2015 models like i did. they are not the same.. ???? TECH NOTE: SCOTT TYRANT IS THE ONLY MODEL TO FEATURE THE FIT SYSTEM AS OF 2015.Read All Reviews

Feeling awful about post-baby sex...
My baby is almost 4 weeks old and Im having major issues with the thought of resuming sex. This is my third child and I was able to resume sex rather quickly and enthusiastically after having my previous two. Now I just feel...awkward. My mood and relationship with my husband is otherwise good, so Im not worried about post-partum depression, and we decided to wait until im on birth control to resume the actual act of sex, but the suggestion of foreplay or "oral" makes me feel awkward and nervous. Just now my husband asked me for a "favor" and I [gently] turned him down. Now I feel just awful. I wish I had just done it. I dont know whats wrong with me... :(

I feel the exact same way and I haven't even had her yet! I already feel awkward and weird.. So I just been talking to my hubby about it and asked him to give me time til I'm comfortable with myself again. Maybe ur hubby will understand too.posted 11/12/2012 by mrs.rogerson
When in doubt, I blame hormones. Those annoying little things sure know how to mess with a woman's head, ya know? ;) Maybe it would help to plan a date night to help you ease back into your groove. Candlelight, chickflicks, cuddling on the couch, whatever would normally help stoke your fires and put you in the mood. Good luck!posted 10/27/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

Depression can be quiet serious, but it is possible to make changes and alleviate the condition. There is plenty of information around if you are searching for help. Use the tips you read here in this article, and make the changes that improve your life.
Your journey out of depression starts with small steps. With depression, it can be overwhelming to try to accomplish everything in one day. If you work on goals incrementally rather than trying to accomplish them all at once, it will be far easier for you to make progress. When you are depressed, the first thing you want to do is withdraw from your friends and family. That is, in fact, precisely what you should not do. In order to recover your self confidence, spend ample time with your support network and continue doing things you enjoy.
Avoid the use of "crutches" in your recovery attempts. Some people relieve their depression with alcohol. While these drugs may introduce temporary euphoria, these feelings will soon fade with the chemical. Depression and stress go hand-in-hand. You must deal with them both if you hope to improve your life. You will find yourself less stressed if you get eight hours of sleep. Sleeping well and with a routine is essential.
Don't neglect your social outlets. When you are depressed, it can be hard to find the motivation to go out and spend time with other people. It is still crucial to do them, though. Try to go about your everyday activities normally. If you avoid them, it can add to the severity of your depression.
If you are troubled by depression, transform the thoughts that run through your mind over and over again. This unique approach relies heavily on the conceptual theory that if you repeat it, speak it, or hear it enough; you will begin to believe it is true. The more often you repeat positive statements about yourself in your mind, the more likely your brain is to start believing them. Treat your depression and bad moods by avoiding all sugar, even the "healthy" ones in molasses, honey, or fruit juices. Those kinds of sugars get into your bloodstream quicker than the complex carbohydrates of whole grains. This will make you feel more energized from the rapid carbohydrate flow, but you will become more tired and depressed after the excess carbohydrates are burned by your body's metabolism. One powerful way to reduce the symptoms of depression is to help other people. Helping others directs your energies outward towards other people, which leaves less time to dwell on your own problems.
If you are dealing with depression, stay away from diet sodas and anything which contains artificial sweeteners. These sweeteners are known to carry certain side-effects like headaches and insomnia, which will only serve the purpose of making your depression worse. Do not eat these things!
When depression begins to set in, try taking up a hobby. You may even want to volunteer your time to help with things around your town. Giving another person some help can boost your self esteem and have an effect on your self worth. Keep up with your well-plan. Therapy appointments are important and should not be missed. Also, try hard to take on some of the activities that your therapist has recommended for you. List the things that you want to talk to your therapist about. This can help you stay on track during your sessions.

Gay NFL Prospect Michael Sam and the Green Bay Packers
If you didn't pay any attention to football — or sports in general — this past weekend then you probably missed this, uh…. bombshell? Missouri defense end Michael Sam is about to be the first openly gay NFL player.
Sam is the reigning SEC defensive player of the year and is (or was) projected to be a mid-to-late round pick in this year's NFL draft. And while his college teammates knew he was gay, he's now admitted it publicly, so the rest of the world knows too.
So where do the Green Bay Packers fit in? We'll get to that in a second. First, the reaction.
Most former and current players have been supportive of Sam. Here's an example from Tom Crabtree.
Good for Michael Sam. Takes courage for where he is in his career and where we are as a league. I applaud him.
— Tom Crabtree (@itsCrab) February 10, 2014
Then there's the other side to this. While we haven't seen many people be overly hateful and ignorant, a bunch of anonymous NFL sources told SI the announcement will hurt Sam's draft stock.
Oh, and some questioned how Sam's sexual orientation would affect the locker room.
"There are guys in locker rooms that maturity-wise cannot handle it or deal with the thought of that," the assistant coach said. "There's nothing more sensitive than the heartbeat of the locker room. If you knowingly bring someone in there with that sexual orientation, how are the other guys going to deal with it? It's going to be a big distraction. That's the reality. It shouldn't be, but it will be."
That whole statement makes no sense. So you're telling us Sam was in a college locker room this past season with a bunch of guys who should be less mature than their NFL counterparts and they all knew he was gay? And those kids can handle a gay teammate, but guys who get paid to play football professionally can't?
Right. Have I mentioned that every single source was quoted anonymously in this story?
So now, here's where the Packers come in. An anonymous former general manager said only a certain number of teams could deal with Sam's presence. That team would have to have a strong owner, savvy general manager and veteran coach.
In other words, a team like the Green Bay Packers. ESPN Milwaukee's Jason Wilde seems to agree with that assessment.
Could #Packers draft Michael Sam and make him an OLB in the 3-4? That locker room/organization could handle attention story would generate.
— Jason Wilde (@jasonjwilde) February 10, 2014
Here's where we get down to brass tacks. Ultimately, who gives a shit about sexuality in this instance? If you can play football, then then you're welcome on my team.
That's really the biggest question about Sam, as Wilde alluded to. Can he play football on the NFL level? Even though he was the SEC defensive player of the year, Sam has some question marks.
First, he's a tweener. He played defensive end for Mizzou at 260 pounds. If he were to play for the Packers, he'd obviously have to switch to outside linebacker. That makes him a project not unlike Mike Neal, who converted from defensive end prior to the 2013 season.
Second, Sam had 11.5 sacks and 19 tackles for loss in 2013. Those stats look pretty impressive on the surface, but when you dig a little deeper, they're somewhat misleading. Nine of Sam's sacks came in three games — against Florida, Arkansas State and Vanderbilt.
Those teams aren't exactly SEC powerhouses.
Sam is going to have to perform well at the combine and in individual workouts to show he belongs. And that has nothing to do with sexuality. It has to do with football.
Monty McMahon is one of the founders of Total Packers. He is probably the most famous graduate of UW-Oshkosh next to Jim Gantner.
The Packers have the kind of coach and locker room that could handle this.
As a smallish DE who is better suited for OLB, Sam certainly is on the Packer's radar for rounds 4-6. Whether the Packers resign Mike Neal may also play a role in our interest.
Green Bay is a conservative area, but Packer fans only care about one thing- Can you play football?
We need more speed, athleticism on defense than I feel he can offer. I'd look at a guy like Dee Ford over Michael, at least for our scheme. Sam reminds me of a poor man's Dwight Freeney, he flashes and has a nice rip under move playing outside but doesn't have a counter inside move or really great hand usage (at this time). Also, he may be too much of a liability in coverage as he has almost no experience there. I predict he moves down to the 5th-6th Rd range based on ability and yes, the "out and proud" news.
I also think he compares favorably to another former Packer, Aaron Kampman (who had trouble adjusting to a 3-4 OLB).
Like people mentioned before, we've had our fill of projects there.
Late Round, I'd still take a shot at a kid like Howard Jones from tiny Shepherd College
It makes no difference to anyone except homophobes & assholes (oh, and DD is in the asshole category) if this guy is gay. What matters to ME is if he can tackle. We have enough projects at this point, and more than enough defensive players who can't seem to tackle. Unless he shines at the combine, hopefully he'll be drafted where he can make an impact.
Odds although he might be the first OPENLY gay player in the NFL, he's not the only gay player in the NFL…..

The agreement, under which plaintiffs can get full refunds for their Paxil purchases, settles claims GlaxoSmithKline misled consumers by promoting the drug to children. Parties in the suit originally made the arrangement last November, contingent on a hearing to determine whether the settlement was fair and whether plaintiff's attorneys were entitled to the $16 million settlement fee they requested. Last year the FDA issued warnings against use of Paxil in children after studies found the drug increased suicidal tendencies while having questionable effects on depression.

This tut has nothing to do with photography. It's the same kinda art like classical painting 500 years ago. Just the modern version of it.
I'm really happy about all the opportunities modern technology has give to us.

Ann is survived by her son Mike and wife Susan of Houston, son Pete and wife Penny of Angleton and daughter Kay of The Woodlands. She also leaves to mourn six grandchildren: Laurie McClain, Marcus, Leah, Claire, Taylor and Will Yancey and four great-grandchildren: Gillian, Lauren, Roy and Westin.
Ann raised her family in Brazoria County where she was active in the Cub Scouts and First Methodist Church of Lake Jackson. She retired from Dow Chemical in Freeport after twenty plus years of service and moved with Earl to Industry, Texas to enjoy retirement at their newly acquired Yancey Ranch. After Earl's death in 1999, Ann found joy in singing with the Industry United Methodist Church Choir, dancing at the many private dance club gatherings with special friend Ernest Menn, and hugging the necks of her two spoiled dogs Molly and Lola. Her big heart and ever present smile will be greatly missed.
Visitation is Monday, October 10, 2011 from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm and the funeral service will be held Tuesday, October 11, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. at Industry United Methodist Church. Burial will be in the Methodist Cemetery in Industry.
The family requests that memorial contributions be made to Industry United Methodist Church 1914 Main Street.

Rap music came from the streets of urban culture, songs of struggle and strength. Before the masses came in with their auto tunes and pop divas, hip-hop was the voice of urban America, allowing young men and women in the concrete jungle a poetic voice, that allowed others into their world. Artists such as Grandmaster Flash, Run DMC and Public Enemy paved the way for today's chart toppers. Rhymes about what their daily life endured, with everything from teen pregnancy, racism to political movements.
A man is supposed to take care of his children, and the mother (s), weather it be singular or plural.
So here's the question, would you rather see 11 children struggle with mothers on welfare? Or watch a man support his children? Does it come down to the race card?
Most people opposed to the show questioned the rapper's ability to take care of 11 children, but he continued to claim that he not only supports them financially, but emotionally, as well.
Hopefully, it's not a child support issue; but whatever it is most certainly isn't a good example for his children.

I think it would be worth implementing some kind of function for making this easier. One might think of using: del a[obj] But, the problem with both of those approaches is that once you start removing arbitrary rows (or n-1 dimensional sub-spaces) from an array you very likely will no longer have a chunk of memory that can be described using the n-dimensional array memory model. So, you would have to make memory copies. This could be done, of course, and the data area of "a" altered appropriately. But, such alteration of the memory would break any other objects that have a "view" of the memory area of "a." Right now, there is no way to track which objects have such "views", and therefore no good way to tell (other than the very conservative reference count) if it is safe to re-organize the memory of "a" in this way. So, "in-place" deletion of array objects would not be particularly useful, because it would only work for arrays with no additional reference counts (i.e. simple b=a assignment would increase the reference count and make it impossible to say del a[obj]). However, a function call that returned a new array object with the appropriate rows deleted (implemented by constructing a new array with the remaining rows) would seem to be a good idea. I'll place a prototype (named delete) to that effect into SVN soon. -Travis

Mercury in vaccines and dental fillings, avian flu, episiotomies, and more.
Diabetes: Saving the cells that make insulin.
State of the Science: More than 14 million patients in the United States have diabetes, which requires lifelong insulin injections and attention to diet and medical care and if untreated results in these complications. Diabetes is caused by malfunctions in the production of insulin (Type 1) or its utilization (Type 2). Insulin is a hormone that controls the entry of sugar into many kinds of body cells. When things are going right, it is manufactured by "beta cells" in the pancreas. But in Type 1 diabetes—5 to 10 percent of cases, most of them children or young adults—the body fails to produce insulin because of a perversion of the immune system. With this autoimmune disease, T lymphocyte cells—which normally identify and destroy abnormal cells—are misdirected and attack the pancreatic beta cells. The cause is unclear; many doctors suspect a combination of genetic susceptibility and perhaps a virus infection as the trigger.
Prognosis: Immune-suppressant drugs can stop the destruction of beta cells, but at great cost: They need to be administered forever, and they block the body's ability to fend off viral and bacterial infections and to eliminate malignant cells that develop into cancer. A recent little-noticed study by Bart Keymeulen of Brussels Free University offers hope of a better alternative. Keymeulen and his colleagues selected diabetics early in the development of their disease—before all their beta cells had been destroyed—and injected a highly purified antibody that attaches only to T lymphocyte cells. Without treatment, these patients would have gone on to lose all their insulin-producing cells and become severely diabetic. But after less than a week of the treatment, the haywire T cells seemed to lose interest in attacking the insulin-producers, and the destruction somehow abated. The effects remained powerful 18 months later.
If Keymeulen's experimental treatment can be developed for safe clinical use, expect a definitive treatment for Type 1 diabetes that halts the destruction of insulin-producing cells when begun early enough. In that event, the disease would be far milder, though treatment would still be required. Ultimately, embryonic stem-cell research may succeed in fully correcting Type 1 diabetes by replacing the killed-off beta cells with new ones. That advance could make the lives of diabetics completely normal.
Caveat: This promising new treatment, which needs much more refinement and testing before it is ready for general use, will surely be costly. The technology is expensive to develop, and there will be an added surcharge to reflect what the market will bear. But (as the makers know) at any reasonable price the treatment will be perceived as a bargain compared with the estimated $1,000 per patient per year that diabetes presently costs to manage.
Bird flu: This is what you should worry about.
State of the Science: If you ask infectious-disease experts to identify the two biggest challenges immediately facing medicine, most would name a coming influenza pandemic and the loss of effective antibiotics because of increasing resistance. In a way, we may be approaching a confluence of those two concerns.
Presently, the H5N1 strain of type A flu is decimating chicken flocks throughout Asia. This strain has so far rarely crossed over to infect humans and probably has genes that don't efficiently promote human infection. But there is great concern that one day it will co-infect a human patient carrying a human flu infection and that a resulting combination will produce a highly infectious and lethal new human flu. A recombination between human flu and flu from some mammal, most likely a pig, probably resulted in the devastating Spanish Influenza pandemic that killed between 50 million and 100 million people in 1918.
Prognosis: If H5N1 does develop a human strain, we are in big trouble. The virus is almost 100 percent lethal when it sweeps through flocks of chickens and has killed about half of the 50 or so people who have so far been infected. We will never be able to make, distribute, and administer enough vaccine fast enough to make a significant dent in a worldwide epidemic. The best hope is to widely distribute an inexpensive, safe, and effective chemoprophylaxis drug, which cuts down the risk of serious influenza by interfering with the virus particle's ability to attach to a host cell or to multiply in it. The least-expensive and most-available of these drugs is perhaps amantadine (which, by the way, probably has the most beautiful chemical structure of any medication).
Caveat: The trouble is that Chinese farmers are sprinkling amantadine into the drinking water of their chicken flocks, probably with local government complicity. This thoughtless, nonsensical, and dangerous practice has been shown to have the predicted effect: H5N1 influenza virus in China and Vietnam has become resistant to amantadine. If H5N1 emerges from Asia as an efficient and virulent human pathogen, we will have lost the best tool we had to limit the devastation. And that would be the confluence of the two big fears of infectious disease experts—a new flu pandemic and widespread resistance to treatment because of thoughtless use of a prophylactic drug.
Episiotomy: Think twice.
