According to Everyday Health, there is an article written by Elizabeth Shimer Bowers explaining how certain foods affect blood sugar. She outlines which foods contribute to high blood sugar and which ones can be included in the diet of a diabetic.
For those who are not diabetics, the body is able to regulate blood glucose levels effectively by producing more or less insulin, a hormone that helps to effectively control blood sugar. However, in diabetic patients the body does not produce enough insulin, and high blood sugar must be controlled. One way for diabetics to do this is to pay attention to the foods they eat.
According to the article, many carbohydrates have a high glycemic index. They quickly cause a spike in one's blood sugar. Foods high in protein and fat and carbohydrates such as bread also cause blood sugar to rise but less significantly. These foods have a low glycemic index.
The following information will help keep your blood sugar in control.
Create the right plate. Ann Williams, PhD, RN, a certified diabetes educator and a research associate professor at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio suggests using half of your plate for non-starchy, low-calorie vegetables, a quarter of your plate with protein, and a quarter of your plate with whole-grain carbohydrates. For example, dinner could be a small piece of grilled fish or chicken for protein, a hearty serving of steamed broccoli and carrots, and a small helping of brown rice for carbohydrates.
Skip starchy vegetables. Eat non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, green peppers, and mushrooms that are high in nutrients and lower in carbohydrates. Try to avoid starchier vegetables like potatoes, corn, and peas.
Eat fiber-rich carbohydrates. Choose carbohydrates made from whole grains that will go into the blood stream more slowly than white rice or white flour.
Eat large particles of food. Small pieces of food will be absorbed and converted into blood glucose faster than foods with a larger particle size. To control blood sugar, eat cracked wheat cereal that has a larger particle size. Eat potatoes prepared in chunks instead of mashed potatoes.
Do not over cook food. Foods cooked more thoroughly go into the body faster than foods cooked less thoroughly. Therefore, to control blood sugar you can eat pasta and even potatoes cooked firm rather than overcooked and mushy. Certain foods, like poultry and pork, should always be well cooked.
Eat at regular intervals. For most people with diabetes, it's a good idea to eat approximately every four hours to control blood sugar. Some diabetics find it necessary to eat every two hours to control their blood sugar.
Don't deprive yourself. If you are craving a certain food that raises blood sugar, you don't have to deprive yourself. Simply have a small serving instead of waiting and then giving in to the craving later and overeating that particular food.
If you follow the above suggestions, you are sure to see a difference in your blood sugar.

Fans of the Highland girls tennis team don't see double when they look at the team picture.
They see double double.
The Hornets have two sets of twins in their seven-player varsity lineup — identical twins Natalie and Nicole Wiswesser and fraternal twins Madeline and Macie Petrich — but neither of the siblings form a doubles team because their games are too similar.
"The biggest challenge," 11th-year coach Lisa Reynolds said, "was learning how to tell them apart. They're all great kids, but both sets look a lot alike, especially the Wiswessers."
The Wiswessers are 16-year-old juniors, while the Petriches are 17-year-old seniors. All four girls take honors classes and have grade-point averages of 3.7 or better.
Natalie Wiswesser is 5-foot-6 and 100 pounds, while Nicole is 5-6 and 115 pounds. Both have brown hair, though Natalie's is slightly longer. Natalie also has a small mole on her cheek.
"I think we look different," Natalie said, "but I can see how people get confused, especially if they don't know us."
Madeline Petrich is 5-3 and weighs 95 pounds. Macie is an inch shorter and also weighs 95 pounds. Though not identical twins, the Petriches also look remarkably similar. Both have long blonde hair, though Macie's is slightly shorter. Like the Wiswessers, the Petriches have the same build, with the one noticeable difference being a freckle on Macie's neck.
"People mix us up a lot, but I don't think we look alike at all," Madeline said. "I see us as looking very different. I have a longer face."
"Sometimes," Macie added, "I'll be wearing something that covers my freckle and people will look really confused."
All four girls mention their twin sister as their best friend, and both sets have the same circle of friends and plan to room together in college. The Petriches are interested in pursuing physical therapy or something else related to the medical field, while the Wiswessers, a year younger, aren't sure what they want to study.
"We'll have a lot of fun with it," Madeline Petrich said. "It will be nice to not have a roommate I don't like. I will know all her habits and I won't have someone wake me up in the middle of the night."
The twins are also very similar personality-wise. The Wiswessers are quiet and reserved except, they say, when they are alone together. The Petriches are a bit more outgoing, but also tend to be pretty laid back.
"It's like being born with your best friend," Nicole Wiswesser said. "We're really close. We do almost everything together."
"We think the same things a lot," Natalie added. "We say the same thing at the same time. We do that a lot, but I can't read her mind."
The Wiswessers have two younger brothers, 15-year-old Steve and 13-year-old Charlie. The Petriches have no other siblings.
Nicole Wiswesser was born six minutes ahead of Natalie and weighed 4 pounds, 2 ounces at birth. Natalie weighed in at 4 pounds, 7 ounces.
Madeline Petrich is older than Macie by a minute and weighed 5 pounds, 5½ ounces at birth. Macie weighed 4 pounds, 9½ ounces.
"All the time growing up, we were dressed the same," Macie said with a laugh. "Around 10 years old, it got a little old."
All four girls are right-handers with solid skills, but despite often claiming to know what their twin is going to do, neither the Petriches nor the Wiswessers have enough differences in playing style to form a great doubles team, in Reynolds' eyes.
The Petriches played together some last year, when Madeline earned honorable mention All-Gazette honors, but they had more success when paired with someone else.
"You want to have doubles teams that have shot variety," Reynolds said. "These girls hit very similarly to one another."
Madeline Petrich, currently 6-7 in non-tournament matches while playing mainly second singles, is probably the most talented player of the four at the moment, though not much separates any of them.
"I definitely like singles better than doubles," she said. "I like relying on myself rather than someone else. I just like playing singles a lot better."
Natalie Wiswesser is 5-6 while playing mostly third singles, while Nicole is 10-3 while playing second doubles with Megan Bowers. Macie Petrich is 7-6 and plays first doubles with 2012 All-Gazette pick Claire Cressman for the Hornets, who are 8-5 overall but won't repeat as Suburban League champions when the league tournament is held Saturday at Medina.
"In doubles, it's good to have two players that have different strengths," Nicole Wiswesser said. "We hit the same way, and we both like what position we play now. It would be cool if we played together, but I understand why (Reynolds) doesn't want us to."
"We liked playing together last year," Macie Petrich said, "but the problem was we hit the same type of ball and the same pace. We had to get split up. It was best for the team."
The twins don't stay apart very long. As soon as their matches are over — or just about any time they're not playing, for that matter — each girl is usually hanging out with her twin.
"It's nice if we go somewhere and don't know anyone, because we're never alone," Madeline Petrich said. "It's nice to always have someone there for you."
Both sets of twins say they get along great almost all the time, and both frequently share clothes with their twin.
"We rarely get mad at each other," Madeline Petrich said. "It's just little things, like if Macie takes my clothes without asking. And she takes them a lot."
Perhaps most important, each of the four girls is her own person, but all are extremely grateful to be so close to their twin.
"Really, I don't know what it's like to not have a twin," Natalie Wiswesser said. "It's all I've ever known."

Russell Wilding. CEO.
- Date of Incorporation: November 1994
- Location: Lindon, Utah
- Industry (Yahoo Finance): Internet Software & Services
- Employees: 30
- Website: Footnote.com
How did Footnote.com get started?
We were digitizing documents as a service for libraries and other organizations and it was a huge endeavor, a full-scale "project." It seemed like there was a tremendous market for original source documents, but we were doing the work for free. My desire was to create a database to which we could sell subscriptions and allow people to access it.
Give me some time frames. I think it started out as iArchives and then it became Footnote.com?
I joined iArchives in 1998 and they were digitizing trucker logs and health care forms. They had just raised three million dollars, and had some tremendous people on board—Harvard guys, MIT guys—and I had hoped it would help me create the perfect network. But it was a disaster. I looked at it and thought, "What in the world have I done?" In the end I fired all the employees, sold all the assets, and started over.
Wow! So you came on as CEO, or the President?
I was COO; CEO was part time. I could see where I could move up within two months. Everyone was going to me and then to the investor. We had the technology so we just started developing that. We began with digitizing microfilm. We went to Deseret News, got hold of some microfilm and started testing that. Really it was the University of Utah that was our first client. We did some Pennsylvania Archives, digitized them and they paid us. We digitized the records and gave it back to them. We didn't keep any of the content or have any rights to anything.
What other reasons led you to completely revamp your company right from the beginning?
It was presented to me as this great company that had this optical character recognition technology that was better than anything else in the world. So, I immediately took the technology and went down to BYU to their Computer Science Department and asked them to do an independent review. They did that and said, "You're okay, but nothing great. We can help you." It became apparent that there were companies that had teams of people focused on OCR technology. So we used our technology, but really tried to find an application for the technology that nobody else was focused on—digitizing microfilm. We were looking at newspapers first. I went online, found the top 100 Newspapers in the United States, and started calling every one of them until I found one of them that was interested in us digitizing their content—the Dallas Morning News. They actually invested in us.
Let's talk about your transition from iArchives to Footnote. When did this happen?
So, iArchives was established in 2000 when we acquired the technology, but it was in 2002 when we could actually start building a client base. We built the company through 2005 when it became profitable, but it was obvious that there just wasn't enough money out there for companies to pay to have their content digitized. The return on investment was tough. We had been to all the top newspaper companies in the country because our investor could make a phone call and get us an appointment with the CEO. The same question always came up: "How do I make money on this?" All I did was digitize it. They needed distribution. How do we monetize it? We needed to distribute. So that's when the idea came: "I need to build a repository and be able to sell that content." Once that was done, I could cover the process from end to end: go in and digitize, distribute, and monetize it, both to the consumer and to the institutions, which are Public and Academic Libraries.
So your background is in Tax Accounting and you worked for Ernst and Young for eleven years. Did you always plan on running a business?
When I worked in Silicon Valley on the tax side, I was able to work with some Venture Capitalists. My favorite time of the year was when one client would come in—Irwin Federman, the President and CEO of MMI, which was acquired by AMD. He was an accountant by trade, but after that merger he became a VC. He would bring us all of his tax work to prepare. I enjoyed it because he always took the time to chat, sharing with us not only the local economy news but also his views on the international economy, his opinions on business, and what the opportunities were. It was an hour of the year that I cherished and I said to myself, "I want to be like that guy!" So, I started working with small businesses, privately held businesses, entrepreneurial businesses, and that's where it really became exciting. I also did the tax work for one of the top executives of Apple Computers. As I met with these men I realized that they had achieved their level of success simply by choosing the right path, and that I could just as easily make that choice. So when I transferred to the Salt Lake City office of Ernst & Young I started the Entrepreneur of the Year Program in Utah. While interviewing the top entrepreneurs in Utah for two and one half years I realized that I wanted to be involved in all aspects of a business. That sounded exciting and fun to me.
So, why did you choose Family History instead of Accounting, or Finance?
The technology really lent itself to digitizing and no one else was doing it. We started with digitizing newspapers, and anything on microfilm that we could convert and generate a service fee from. Then it became a repository and once we had a repository, then people would pay a fee to access it. So, with the interest I have in History, Family History—it just came about. This was an opportunity to be involved in a technology company and I couldn't see that anyone else was doing it.
80 million Baby Boomers will begin to retire in 2010. What challenges do you foresee over the next few years?
The challenge is that people can't get access to the content. I went out to Washington DC, sat down with the Deputy Director of the National Archives and said, "Here's the deal. I can digitize this archive for you, ten billion records, or let's partner and I'll do it for free." So during 2006 we started a relationship with the National Archives. They gave us 5 million images to start with. They had never done anything like this—no one had approached them to digitize or partner with them. They're our archives. They are really a graveyard—all these paper documents are degrading and they are running out of space. For them to start digitizing this was just unimaginable; it was a totally new concept.
Are you the only company that is digitizing the National Archives?
Ancestry had already gone there and gotten microfilms (like the Census), but we were the first ones who said, "We want to partner with you. Not to buy the content, which is Public Domain, but to partner with you and to digitize it." We were the very first to sign a partnership. Finally 18 months later, Ancestry signed a similar deal.
Is Ancestry.com your biggest competitor in your space?
We don't view them as a competitor because we are focusing on different content. There is so much content out there that our two companies are able to complement one another. We look at what they've done, and if they have this on their site, then we're not going to do it. We're going to do other things.
On your website, your vision statement reads: "To be the world leader in transforming microfilm and other print content into searchable, digitized, online databases." Ancestry.com is doing a similar thing; the LDS Church is doing Family Search Indexing. These programs have almost the exact same vision. Is it just different content?
Do you perceive the Church as a threat, or do you try and cooperate with them?
We have a fantastic partnership with them. For example, we licensed our Internet Indexing technology to them in 2004. Right now, we have two tremendous collections and we have ten missionaries scanning papers for us. They scan it, give those images to us; we put it through our indexing, and then we deliver those Indexes back to the Church. They point people to us if they want to see the images. It's a fantastic partnership and we're looking to expand it.
There are a lot of tools out there, so what's different about your technology?
One thing is the efficient system we've created on the digitization side. We can track every second of every image we make with our work-flow system. Our vendors use our tools so we can track what they are doing. I don't think anybody else has that. But our greatest asset is the presentation on the website. When we launched Footnote.com in 2006, I hired three of the top guys from the industry. Roger Bell, who was over all the products at Ancestry, came over and joined us and he has been so instrumental in the projects we've created. For example, all indexes we create are for free. We have original source documents for everything we do so we can make the indexes free because people want the images. Because of this, we can SEO the indexes. Ancestry can't, because their images sit behind a paywall. So Roger Bell's design, his architecture, is going to be a significant differentiators for us from anyone else doing this stuff. That's why we can work with the Church because they provide indexes, and our indexes are free anyways. So why not give them to everybody and then drive them to us to see the Images? (But just so you know, we give members of the Church access to the images for free if they log in through the Church's system.) For example, PAF Insight used to be that way, but now it's not anymore. It is really an authentication problem for the Church, but we're okay with it. It's in the contract; we've agreed to it; and they've just got to figure that out.
So, your services include: (1) scanned projects for institutions, schools, newspapers, the National Archives et cetera, and (2) an on-line record repository. How do your affiliates fit into your business model?
We have a repository of content, so who is going to convert it into subscriptions? That's where the affiliates come in. For example, one might have their sights on Native American records. We have some great Native American records. An affiliate will send us a lead and when their lead buys, we give them a commission. So, affiliates are a big piece of what we do. Partners, like the Church, drive traffic to us as well. Natural search is great too. Those are the main things—SEO and affiliates. We love people driving traffic to our site. We have an arrangement with them and we share back with them.
Are affiliates doing well based upon this model?
Yes, but it's a challenge. We're small; we're growing; we're still indexing records. Ancestry has all kinds of records, lots more than we have, so they get more business. But, their price is twice what ours is. So, for an affiliate, if Ancestry has what they want, they'll drive business to them because their commission will be a lot more than ours.
What are the biggest challenges you've experienced during your last nine years of growth?
It's always been about capital. Footnote.com is a fairly expensive business because you have to digitize all the content. Besides capital, there's market recognition. Getting your name out so people recognize you and come to you—recognize you as having all these records—is difficult. It's the capital to grow the company and then name recognition and marketing.
So, let's talk about those two items: what do you do to raise capital and what are doing for marketing?
We've been fortunate. We have two major investors and they have provided the funding. So we have tried to be creative at other times too, like licensing technology to the Church. We sold some of our databases last year to a group that distributes them in the library market. We've tried to look at our assets and say, "What ways we can monetize our assets without hurting our core business?"
Anything different as far as promotion goes?
We really think word of mouth is very important. I have an article here* that says 80 percent of all marketing is off line. And how you do this? Trade shows. It's so important to go to trade shows and to speak to really knowledgeable industry people. Anything you can do to get your name out there and get to where the people are in mass.
(*Word of Mouth Marketing by Andy Sernovitz)
Anything else you would like to share about Footnote.com?
I think we have been fortunate in hiring fantastic people and not losing them. When we first started doing iArchives we got Robert Wille, who is a brilliant guy. He basically wrote the Internet Indexing System for the Church. We brought on Scott Christenson, who runs Operations, and is fantastic. When I started the website for Footnote, I got Roger Bell. All these guys are products of local companies. Chris Willis is a top designer and he came and joined. These guys were entrepreneurs who were stuck in a company and were not able to do what they wanted to do. They are living their dream now. We're very thin. We're not two deep anywhere. So they are able to create a culture and an opportunity here that they would not get in a big company. It's having the right people with a consistent mind set of where we are going and how we are going to get there. Everyone doesn't always agree, but everybody's living their dream.
So, what do you do to attract the best?
You have to sell them the vision. Today, it became very clear to me what CEO stands for: it means, "Clear Every Obstacle" and then you sit back and cheer everybody on. That is really what it is—you clear every obstacle for these brilliant people, you provide the direction and the vision and then you sit back and cheer them on.
What is the most exciting thing you see going on currently in our Family History community?
I think that people have the misunderstanding that Family History is for members of the Church. I would say 90 – 95 percent of our clients are not members of the Church. I think it was Ralph Waldo Emerson who said, "There is no history—only biography." It's all individual stories. When we digitized the Vietnam Wall, it's all individual stories. That is what makes up history. It's your life, your parent's lives, your grandparent's lives. What was going on? What impact did they have on society? That's what we're trying to help tell—their stories. Not just an index. "There is no history—only biographies." That's what we are about. That is what is different about our company. That's why we go after historical content, not just birth, death, and marriage records. We're after pension files, newspapers, and all kinds of military records.
What do you see for the future of the Family History Entrepreneurial Community?
I think that people have the misunderstanding that Family History is for members of the Church. I would say 90 – 95 percent of our clients are not members of the Church. I think it was Ralph Waldo Emerson who said, "There is no history—only biography." It's all individual stories. When we digitized the Vietnam Wall, it's all individual stories. That is what makes up history. It's your life, your parent's lives, your grandparent's lives. What was going on? What impact did they have on society? That's what we're trying to help tell—their stories. Not just an index. "There is no history—only biographies." That's what we are about. That is what is different about our company. That's why we go after historical content, not just birth, death, and marriage records. We're after pension files, newspapers, and all kinds of military records.
What do you see for the future of the Family History Entrepreneurial Community?
I wish I could tell. I think the industry is just in its infancy because the records haven't been available. Now the records are becoming more available. People have been doing valuable research and there has been no way to share it. So, there may be someone in Oregon who has done years of work that another person in Florida, New York, or Texas would love to have. How do you create that opportunity? That is where your social networking is going to help. We want to be a part of that. The other thing we want to become is the world's shoebox. We want all this content that we have digitized to be a magnet for drawing in people. We want to allow people to upload their stories, photos, and information to be shared with others as well.
You say 90 percent of your clients are members of other faiths, which is exactly the same approximation as Generation Maps. What needs to change to flip that statistic?
Our goal is not to try and motivate those people because it's such a tiny market. We love these people and we love having them come to our site, but I think you have to lower their barrier to entry. I've watched my wife become a partner in this over the last year and it's pretty overwhelming to get started. Who can focus on that beginner and stimulate them and keep them entertained and involved? Once somebody gets involved, it's intoxicating. So it is really attracting someone to it. The challenge is people don't have enough time in their life to do it. If you have a young mother whose raising kids, or involved in a career or something, it's a challenge to get that person intoxicated.
Aren't members of other faiths similar to us? It's got to be something different.
Well the audience we have is typically forty five or older. They're involved in family history because the noise starts leaving their life at about that time. Now on the other hand, the young group, the young crowd, has a lot of time to spend on Facebook. Think about it—all that stuff on Facebook is only going to benefit people in the future. It's going to be a lot easier to track. So, all of this is historical stuff that eventually people are going to run in to. Parents, grandparents, they're pretty easy to get down, but you still have to dig to get into the earlier stuff. That's why we like to make it more of a biography and we don't like to say "genealogy." We like to make people think they are digging into history to help people tell their stories.
Are there any books or people who have had a significant influence in your life?
I think one of the best books I've ever read is Good to Great. It's just unbelievable; it talks about your management style. To me, it is very consistent with my personal beliefs and core values. Like the things it talks about in being a good leader: not being the high profile celebrity but somebody who has values and who is disciplined. I love reading history. I love reading about George Washington and about the founding of this country. It makes you realize that America is the chosen land. It was more than just these individuals founding this country—God was involved.
Any other advice you would like to give to the aspiring entrepreneurs in our community?
It's three things really: find something you have a passion in, and that you can make money at, and that you can be the best in the world at. We believe those things here with all of our hearts. We have passion here for what we are doing. We think we can be the best in the world, and we think we are. There is a lot of money to be made, plus there is a lot of good that can come from it.

Some things get better with age - a golf course is not one of them.
The JW Marriott Camelback Inn's Indian Bend Golf Course is headed for a full overhaul complete with alternate tee locations, the restructuring of individual holes, re-configured golf cart paths and a completely new course topography, an April 17 staff report states.
The proposed project will create a new 150-acre, 18-hole course designed with a Hurdzan Fry Environmental Golf Design - a world-renowned golf course design house known for environmentally sustainable approaches to design and operations.
The Paradise Valley Planning Commission April 17 took a first-blush look at the proposed intermediate special-use permit application submitted by Nicholas Wood of Snell & Wilmer Law Offices.
Mr. Wood is a zoning lawyer representing Camelback Properties Inn, Inc.
A special use is a primarily non-residential land use deemed to be generally compatible with the residential character of the Town of Paradise Valley, according to article 11 of the Paradise Valley Town Code.
Paradise Valley Town Council April 12 unanimously approved a statement of direction outlying the planning commission's scope of scrutiny including a review of visible and audible affects on neighbors and dust mitigation requirements during construction.
Camelback Inn officials say they hope to reduce operating costs, save millions of gallons of water annually and see an instant bump in revenue once the revamped Indian Bend course reopens.
The construction timeline is set for 15 to 18 months and, if everything goes according to plan, construction could begin as early as July.
Since December Camelback Inn officials have been meeting with immediate neighbors to the golf course to understand what local concerns may be for the overall product and during the coming construction months.
View a 3D bird's eye view of the project here
"I want to commend the applicant for the amount of outreach they have already done," Planning Commission Chairwoman Maria Syms said at the April 17 meeting. "They really have tried to address those concerns and I know they have been very responsive."
Of the 113 property owners who own a home adjacent to the existing course, about 95 percent have been contacted seeking opinions and proposed plans for the new course, Mr. Wood contends.
New greens
Rob Bartley, Camelback Golf Club director of golf, says the new course will be a shot in the arm to a declining asset of an iconic Paradise Valley resort.
"Indian Bend is 30 years old and nobody wants to play it - that is what our customers are saying," he told the commission.
Built in 1972, the existing Indian Bend Golf Course has seen better days, Mr. Bartley points out.
"We are known as a world-class resort," he said after the April 17 work session. "It is just in dire need for renovations."
The are two courses at the Camelback Inn locations - the Padre and Indian Bend courses.
Today it costs $99 for a round of golf at the Indian Bend course compared to the $139 for the Padre Golf Course, Mr. Bartley points out.
When the new course is completed a round of golf on either course is anticipated to cost about $149.
"The golf component was really lagging behind," he said.
According to Mr. Bartley, in calendar year 2011 there were about 52,000 rounds of golf played on the Indian Bend course - with only 10 percent of those proceeds coming from people staying at the hotel.
"There has been a change from 72,000 to 52,000 annual rounds over the last two years," he explained. "This course will now become a true golf destination for Paradise Valley."
The economic boon for Camelback Inn may come into play for the entire region, according to Rachel Pearson, a spokeswoman for the Scottsdale Convention and Visitor's Bureau
"Part of what keeps golf courses and resorts top notch is in fact that they are staying competitive with the newest trends," she said in an April 17 phone interview.
For any resort or golf course change and constant evolution is the facility's lifeblood, Ms. Pearson says.
"Golf courses are looking to do the same thing," she said of annual remodels done by Scottsdale and Camelback resorts. "To be at its best and provide the best experience for their visitors."
Ms. Pearson says if a resort isn't building - adding new elements to amenities the entire market suffers - its dying.
"I think it is a really positive thing - you should be worried you don't see any construction at the airport," she said noting the old adage that in certain areas construction depicts economic activity. "The same thing is true and we constantly see remodeled construction at our properties."
New process
According to Eva Cutro, Paradise Valley community development director, the Indian Bend Gold Course SUP application is one of two that are participating in the town's new streamlined planning application process.
In an effort to help spur redevelopment of defunct resort property and to cut down the process in some cases by six months, Paradise Valley Town Council has drawn new guidelines for its SUP process.
The new requirements for filing an amendment to an entity's SUP includes a narrative of the project, a list of proposed uses and a site plan along with parking and traffic circulation requirements.
Mr. Wood says his client is pleased in the early stages of the SUP process.
"I am excited about that," he said before the April 17 work session. "Like anything else, creating efficiencies is good for the town and for the applicant."
Mr. Wood says the resort was determined to understand what neighborhood hurdles may come before submitting the SUP application, knowing the proces would not take long.
"We filed this just two weeks ago - after we did public outreach," he explained. "We really wanted to hear the requests, concerns of the neighbors ... we are problem solvers."
In total, Mr. Wood and his colleagues had six public meetings starting in December of last year.
He says the typical response involved neighbors expressing concerns over tree and foliage coverage.
"We had a lot of people come and it was very beneficial," he said of the six open-house style meeting held for resident input. "We made some design changes because of it."
Paradise Valley Planning Commissioner Lou Werner says the application submitted, background provided and outreach conducted by the Camelback Inn is the epitome of what makes for a good business neighbor.
"This the epitome of it - the outreach to the neighbors," he said of good business practices. "It is a win-win for everyone. As I said earlier 'The town is open for business and we are looking forward to it.'"
At its May 1 meeting, the Paradise Valley Planning Commission plans to meet 5 p.m. at the Camelback Golf Club, 7847 N. Mockingbird Lane.
Paradise Valley Town Council is expected to make a final decision on the proposed golf course project this June following a recommendation vote by the planning commission some time in May.

Cardiac Services
Banner Ironwood works closely with Banner Heart Hospital in a unique partnership to deliver nationally recognized heart care.
Ironwood offers basic inpatient cardiac care, including an Intensive Care Unit. Patients who need emergency cardiac treatment are transferred to Banner Heart Hospital in Mesa.
It's important to note that Banner Heart Hospital exceeds the national recommendation of "door to balloon" time of 90 minutes.
Door-to-balloon time measures how long it takes a patient who arrives in the Emergency department to receive a catheter in the hospital's cardiac cath lab.
A short door-to-ballon time reduces a patient's chances of cardiac muscle damage and the extent of that damage.

He is so fearful of being labeled a bad guy by you, your family or your friends he rather mislead you than accept this title. Since he never cheats physically, he avoids drawing accusation from you and eases his own subconscious. However, he mentally and emotionally gets a head start on checking out of the relationship before you in order to make his own transition easier.
After the formal "break-up," he will still make love to you. Sure, you told him you can handle it but you're lying. He knows, through sex, you are trying to lure him back or at minimum, keep him around. Regardless, he still has sex with you because he places his best interests before yours.
He feasts on your emotional and physical sacrifices until he is gorged but offers you nothing of substance in return. He leaves you feeling empty. He's honest without ever telling the truth. He doesn't lie, but he tells you want you want to hear instead of what you need to hear. For instance, when you ask if there is a future for you in his life he gives you an ambiguous response when he knows the clear answer is no. He uses you like a pit stop between serious courtships with other women but assures you his future is with you.
He uses your hope to keep you paralyzed while he uses the fact that you'll always be there for him to propel himself forward. You're left waiting, often in vain, as he gives the love you long for to other women until one of those women finally becomes his wife. Even in marriage, given the chance, he continues to let you believe there may be a future for you two if things don't work out. Deep down both of you know this day will never come because, unfortunately, you were never anything more than his back-up plan.
An excerpt from a song by Alicia Keys, Lesson Learned, summarizes the "Good Guy" experience:
You give it one more chance
Just like the time before
But he already knows you'd give a hundred more
Until that night in bed
You wake up in a sweat
You're racing to the door
Can't take it anymore…
5. The Man: He performs the most taken for granted act there is: He tells you the truth.
Some men will never be The Man because it is the hardest break-up. The Man doesn't bullshit a woman. He doesn't wait until he has a back-up relationship. He knows you are worth more than a callous text message. Out of respect, he chooses to tell you in person. He is not cruel but he doesn't lie. If he realizes the relationship is not heading in the direction you both agreed to he tells you.
The hardest part is the responsibility. The Man must step up and end the relationship even if she thinks it can be salvaged if he knows in his heart it cannot. When things get emotionally heated – and they will – he cannot engage in the same hurtful rhetoric she uses on him. Emotion, pride, and defense may make her attack and seek to inflame the same response in him. He knows that in order for her to cope she might need to hate him temporarily or forever.
Her friends, by obligation, must take her side; make him out to be the bad guy. The Man does not manipulate her emotions to save face like The Good Guy. He puts his pride and ego aside because he realizes it's not about him.
Even in break-up, a man does what is best for the woman even if that means putting her needs before his own. He must look into her tear-filled eyes and continue to tell the truth. If there is no future for the relationship when she asks, he responds "No" and does not waver. He doesn't encourage false hope. The Man realizes that just because she will settle for a part of him rather than none of him does not mean she doesn't deserves a man who will give her his all.
The Man's burden is the most difficult. It's possible all he will have left to comfort himself is the knowledge that he told the truth. Having remained faithful in principle and in practice during their relationship, he will have to start over…alone.
This is why most men never use this technique, preferring combinations of the above rather than ever shouldering the full responsibility of being a man. They know being the man she wants is easy. Being the man she needs is difficult. Given the choice to end the relationship a falsely glorified Good Guy or living long enough to see himself labeled a villain, he chooses villainy if it will benefit the woman he cares about more. A real man recognizes that she deserves happiness even if he is not the man to inspire it.

Gentlemen, how accurate do you find these categories? Have you used these break-up strategies before? Why did you choose a particular strategy? Are there any we missed?
Ladies, have you dealt with men who fall into these categories? Recognizing that breaking up is never easy, which type of man and delivery would you prefer? Do women use these same methods on men?

TUCSON, Ariz. – Fredrik Ask decisively won his singles match in straight sets on Sunday, leading the Cats to a 7-0 victory over the Idaho Vandals.
The senior defeated Odon Barta 6-2, 6-2 to give Arizona its first singles victory of the day.
Despite the dominating performance by Ask, the only other Wildcat to finish without too much adversity was sophomore Naoki Takeda, who defeated Artemiy Nikitin 6-2, 6-4.
"Idaho turned it around well in the singles," said head coach Tad Berkowitz. "Our guys did a good job of overcoming the adversity of being up and down vs. a team trying to gain momentum."
No other player had to overcome more adversity early than senior Kieren Thompson. Down 4-1 in the first set, Thompson stormed back to force a tiebreaker, of which he won 9-7 to take the set 6-5(7). His momentum carried him through the second set, of which he won 6-4 to seal the victory.
Arizona's fortitude continued to be tested on courts three thru six, as Mario Urquidi, Will Kneale and Matt Dunn each had to come back from early one-set deficits to beat their opponents in three.
"A tennis match is a marathon," Berkowitz said. "You don't win a match with one game, or two games. You win a match with six games. Then you have to do it all over again. You can't get too down or too high on yourself."
Urquidi fell behind early to Cristobal Ramos-Salazar 4-6, but pulled even with a 6-4 victory in the second. In a tiebreaker third, Urquidi persevered in a 6-5 (5) win to take the match.
Dunn, who made his 2014 season singles debut, had anything but an easy opener against Andrew Zedde. Dunn fell behind early 3-6, but rebounded nicely for the Cats to win the next two and the match, 6-4, 6-2.
Kneale defeated Idaho's Cesar Torres 2-6, 6-2, 6-4 to complete the sweep.
In doubles, Arizona needed little time to clinch the point as Matt Dunn and Mario Urquidi defeated Barta and Nikitin 6-2. Naoki Takeda and Will Kneale clinched shortly after with a 6-1 win over Torres and Zedde.
Arizona returns to the courts on Sunday, Feb. 16 to take on Nevada at 10 a.m.

UCLA Softball on Twitter | UCLA Softball on Facebook
2014 UCLA Softball Media Guide
FULLERTON, Calif. - Sophomore Brittany Moeai had three hits, while freshman Jelly Felix posted two, including a three-run homer which proved to be the difference for the second-ranked Bruins, who defeated Cal State Fullerton 5-2 on Thursday at Anderson Family Field.
The Bruins improve to 35-4 overall, while the Titans fall to 23-15-1.
UCLA had nine hits as a team. In the circle, junior Ally Carda (21-2) got the win, striking out seven in a complete game. She allowed two runs, eight hits and three walks.
The Titans jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first, as leadoff hitter Missy Taukeiaho homered to right-center to put the home team on the board.
In the second, the Bruins scored three times on one swing of the bat. With one out, freshman Gabrielle Maurice singled to right and Moeai singled up the middle, setting the stage for Felix, who crushed her third homer of the season just inside the left-field fair pole to put the visitors up 3-1.
After leaving runners at the corners in the third, the Bruins had a chance to get some insurance in the fourth, but were turned away. Moeai doubled down the right-field line to start the inning and was pinch-run for by junior Jessica Amaral. After a walk to Felix, senior Jessica Hall sacrificed Amaral to third and Felix to second. Sophomore Allexis Bennett followed with a high chopper to first, as Fullerton's Melissa Sechrest came home to force Amaral for the second out of the inning. Bennett then took off for second on a delayed double steal, but Felix was thrown out at home for the last out of the fourth.
In the fifth, UCLA stranded the bases loaded. Freshman Delaney Spaulding and junior Stephany LaRosa drew one-out walks, and one out later, Maurice reached on a base on balls to load them up for Moeai. The sophomore lifted a shallow fly ball to left, which was caught by Leesa Harris, to end the inning.
In the Titans' half of the fifth, a leadoff walk to Paige Kisling, a throwing error by Carda on a comebacker with Harris at the plate and a single through the left side by Taukeiaho loaded the bases for the home team. But Carda worked her way out of the jam, striking out Ariel Tsuchiyama, popping up Sechrest to short and fanning Gabby Aragon to keep it a 3-1 game.
In the sixth, Felix led things off with a double to left-center and was pinch-run for by junior Tara Mueller. Senior Alyssa Tiumalu walked and junior Sam Duran ran for her, while Carda was hit to load the bases. Spaulding skied a ball to left-center which was caught, but deep enough for Mueller to score to put the Bruins up 4-1. A walk to LaRosa re-loaded the bases for sophomore Mysha Sataraka, who after her at-bat was prolonged due to a dropped foul ball by Sechrest at first, also drew a free pass to force home Duran with UCLA's fifth run. A pop up to third by Maurice stranded the bases loaded.
After the Bruins left two more in the seventh, the Titans made things interesting in their last ups. Harris led off with a single through the left side, Taukeiaho walked and Tsuchiyama singled through the right side to plate Harris to make it 5-2. Carda struck out Sechrest, while Gabrielle Rodas, running for Tsuchiyama, was forced at second on a grounder to Sataraka at third. The junior then retired Aragon on a foul out to junior Gracie Goulder to end the game.
UCLA is off from game action this weekend and returns to the field on Tuesday, April 15 at Easton Stadium against Cal State Northridge at 3 p.m. Free audio and live stats will be available at UCLABruins.com.

So my blind date canceled on me last Saturday night and I found myself standing outside Hernando's Hideaway next door to the bus station on Chester Ave. looking for some action. It was a cold blustery night, just to increase my chances I wore my opera cape and an eye patch and since I quit smoking I was tearing up the Bazooka Joe like crazy.
I hung around until about tenish, nothing happening so I went home and got myself something to munch on. As I said, I quit smoking recently so I do chew a ton of gum. But what I was amazed by was the amount of gum listed on the ingredients in ordinary food that we eat.
It's true. Almost anything we eat that is packaged, canned or what ever has some kind of gum in it. I'm not talking about Chiclets or Orbitz or Dentyne, I'm talking about weird gums like gum arabic, gum anima, cassia gum, guar gum locust bean gum and xanthan gum. Most of these gums are used to replace glutens.
The weird thing is that although these gums are widely used in food, none of these ingredients show up in actual gum. They're not even used in making Gummy Bears.
Chewing gum is made with such natural products as latex, synthetic rubber and polymers with artificial flavors. Gummy Bears contain sugar, starch, gelatin, food coloring and citric acid.
Gum Arabic is a food additive used as a stabilizer. But it is also used in making glue, cosmetics and as a binder in fireworks. Cassia gum is a thickener or a gel agent in food. xanthan gum is a polysaccharide used as a thickening agent and stabilizer in salad dressings, dips and cheese spreads. Also used in food products are locust bean gum, spruce gum and guar gum which is a galactomannan, whatever the hell that is.
But back to the gum, the chewing variety of gum.
As far as blowing bubbles, my pick is the old reliable Dubble-Bubble because it has a more elastic texture for me. Bazooka Joe gets a little dry too quick and baseball card gum just doesn't cut it for me.
I'll reach for the Dentyne after a Chicago Dog with double onion and a stick of Orbitz for when I have potty mouth.
But gum for me is more than just an enjoyable chew or a thickening agent in food. I also like to use a pack of gum for amusement. I'll offer a date a stick of gum and as she pulls out a stick a small rubber spider pops out. I also like to carry a pack of gum with a miniature taser in it to set that tingly feeling to the unsuspecting wannabe gum chewer. Pepper gum is another good one.
But if I feel like that gum taste and sensation and there are no sticks of latex, synthetic rubber and artificially flavored polymers handy I just drink my gum.
Bubble Gum Shooter
1 Oz. Vodka
1 Oz. Banana Liqueur
Dash of Cranberry Juice
Dash of Grenadine
Combine all the ingredients in a shaker full of ice, shake well and strain in an over-sized shot glass.
The slideshow and the video lend a hand in exploring the exciting world of gum. Check them out.
Happy chewing everybody.

Lorene Robinette passed away peacefully in her sleep, on Wednesday, March 13 at her home outside Cheney.
She was born in Spokane, on June 1, 1924. She graduated from Cheney High School and went on to receive a teaching degree from Eastern Washington University. She was married to her sweetheart, Eugene, in 1950, and one year later they welcomed their only son, Maurice, into the world. She extended her love and dedication to many other children in her 30-year career as an elementary school teacher in Medical Lake.
In addition to teaching, she enjoyed traveling, hunting, and fishing with her husband and son, baking the world's best cherry pies, and listening to her granddaughters play the piano.
She is survived by her son, Maurice and his wife, Ellen, of Cheney; her granddaughter Beth and her husband Matt, of Cheney; her granddaughter, Jacqueline, of Tacoma; her great-grandchildren Audrey and Charlie; and her twin brother, Lawrence Montague, of Spokane. She is also survived by her network of friends and neighbors whom she welcomed as part of her family, most notably Jerry and Tory Rouse, Jerry and Kathy Pitts, and Cheryl Davis. Contributions can be made in Lorene's memory to the Fisher Center for Alzheimer's Research Foundation.
A celebration of Lorene's life will be held at the Lazy R Ranch, 20811 W. Salnave Road, on June 1 at 2 p.m.

Check Out John's Amazing 12 Week Fat Loss Transformation
Check out John's amazing 12 week fat loss transformation where he went from a body-fat of 21% down to 11 percent which enabled him to drop 10 percent in body-fat in a 12 week period. His starting weight was 195lbs and he dropped down to 171 which made him lose 24lbs. He followed my online diet and training program to the letter and the end result is a lean healthy fit body. Congratulations to John on his amazing fat loss transformation. John's personal testimonial is below! If you are interested an online fat loss diet and training program or interested in viewing more fat loss transformations please go to http://www.obiobadike.com/store/
John's Personal Testimonial:
"I have worked with other personal trainers in the past, but I have never achieved anywhere near the results I was able to realize working with Obi. Right from the start, beginning with the first phone call and emails, he was confident that he would be able to help me get lean, and he did. His confidence in me was contagious. I took a serious stance and truly worked at making progress. While I am not a bodybuilder by any means, I truly do enjoy working out and being in the best shape that I can.
I was not happy with the bad quality of weight I had added over the past year. Obi, through the detailed diet plan, work out and cardio sessions, was able to help me go from 195lbs to 171lbs. He changed things up every 3 weeks or so to keep my body burning fat. Now that I have completed 12 weeks of training with Obi, he has developed a maintenance plan for me. Overall, this was the best decision I made and the best results I have achieved in a very long time. Thank you my friend, thank you very much!!"

Reviews for Apple-Spice Acorn Squash
"PS, I made two acorn squash in 8" square glass pan, which is why the increase in the ingredients."
"I have 1,000 watt microwave so cooking time was longer. 15 minutes face down, then the full 8 minutes when turned over. I added 3/4 c brown sugar to the mix and increased cinnamon and nutmet to 1/2 t. Served hot with cool whip on top. I did not have raisins, so used date bits instead and was a suitable substitute."
"Made this tonight. I added just a little bit of brown sugar to the apple/raisin mixture. It was absolutely wonderful. Even my squash-phobic daughter truly enjoyed it! Thanks!"
"I made this recipe when friends were coming over and their kids gobbled it up! I did add some brown sugar to it. So easy to make and delicious!"
"Good, quick sidedish! The second time I made it, I added 2 teaspoons brown sugar."

Compressed sensing works something like this: You've got a picture — of a kidney, of the president, doesn't matter. The picture is made of 1 million pixels. In traditional imaging, that's a million measurements you have to make. In compressed sensing, you measure only a small fraction — say, 100,000 pixels randomly selected from various parts of the image. From that starting point there is a gigantic, effectively infinite number of ways the remaining 900,000 pixels could be filled in.The key to finding the single correct representation is a notion called sparsity, a mathematical way of describing an image's complexity, or lack thereof. A picture made up of a few simple, understandable elements — like solid blocks of color or wiggly lines — is sparse; a screenful of random, chaotic dots is not. It turns out that out of all the bazillion possible reconstructions, the simplest, or sparsest, image is almost always the right one or very close to it.
But how can you do all the number crunching that is required to find the sparsest image quickly? [...] To do that, the algorithm takes the incomplete image and starts trying to fill in the blank spaces with large blocks of color. If it sees a cluster of green pixels near one another, for instance, it might plunk down a big green rectangle that fills the space between them. If it sees a cluster of yellow pixels, it puts
down a large yellow rectangle. In areas where different colors are interspersed, it puts down smaller and smaller rectangles or other shapes that fill the space between each color. It keeps doing that over and over. Eventually it ends up with an image made of the smallest possible combination of building blocks and whose 1 million pixels have all been filled in with colors. [...]
Compressed sensing has already had a spectacular scientific impact. That's because every interesting signal is sparse — if you can just figure out the right way to define it. For example, the sound of a piano chord is the combination of a small set of pure notes, maybe five at the most. Of all the possible frequencies that might be playing, only a handful are active; the rest of the landscape is silent. So you can use CS to reconstruct music from an old undersampled recording that is missing information about the sound waves formed at certain frequencies. Just take the material you have and use l1 minimization to fill in the empty spaces in the sparsest way. The result is almost certain to sound just like the original music. [...]
...for example, a future in which the technique is used in more than MRI machines. Digital cameras, he explains, gather huge amounts of information and then compress the images. But compression, at least if CS is available, is a gigantic waste. If your camera is going to record a vast amount of data only to throw away 90 percent of it when you compress, why not just save battery power and memory and record 90 percent less data in the first place? For digital snapshots of your kids, battery waste may not matter much; you just plug in and recharge. "But when the battery is orbiting Jupiter," Candès says, "it's a different story." Ditto if you want your camera to snap a photo with a trillion pixels instead of a few million.
The ability to gather meaningful data from tiny samples of information is also enticing to the military: Enemy communications, for instance, can hop from frequency to frequency. No existing hardware is fast enough to scan the full range. But the adversary's signal, wherever it is, is sparse — built up from simple signals in some relatively tiny but unknown portion of the frequency band. That means CS could be used to distinguish enemy chatter on a random band from crackle. Not surprisingly, Darpa, the Defense Department's research arm, is funding CS research.
Compressed sensing isn't useful just for solving today's technological problems; the technique will help us in the future as we struggle with how to treat the vast amounts of information we have in storage. The world produces untold petabytes of data every day — data that we'd like to see packed away securely, efficiently, and retrievably. At present, most of our audiovisual info is stored in sophisticated compression formats. If, or when, the format becomes obsolete, you've got a painful conversion project on your hands. But in the CS future, Candès believes, we'll record just 20 percent of the pixels in certain images, like expensive-to-capture infrared shots of astronomical phenomena. Because we're recording so much less data to begin with, there will be no need to compress. And instead of steadily improving compression algorithms, we'll have steadily improving decompression algorithms that reconstruct the original image more and more faithfully from the stored data."

The House's vote to repeal the estate tax appears to be a purely political move to serve during the 2016 election campaigns. A more serious conversation about repeal may take place in 2017.
Republicans have proven, time and again, that when it comes to throwing huge stacks of money, they hurl as recklessly as Democrats — especially when the problem they're throwing money at is the Pentagon.
House Republicans passed a budget on Wednesday after employing the very unusual "Queen of the Hill" rule. The budget that earned the most votes was the one dubbed "Price 2," which matches the one passed in the House Budget panel last week but includes a $20 billion increase in defense spending.
Once again risk is shifted from a major American company to the American taxpayer via the Export-Import Bank, but this may be the last time.

Paper beads are a quick and easy project that you can get your kids started on, then walk away for a while. It's great for fine motor skills, and even better for a quiet time activity that will keep them busy without making a great deal of noise and mess.
Start with a several pieces of paper cut into triangular strips. Solid color paper works very, very well; paper with small designs is acceptable; paper with big designs probably won't come out right. Abstract designs will do better than defined ones, since only a small portion of the design will be visible in the finished product.
After you've cut out your strips, roll them around a pencil, dowel, etc, starting with the large end and working your way down to the small end. Secure the end of the bead with a dot of glue, slide it off of your pencil, and you're done!
This is a quick, easy project that will give the kids plenty of other opportunities for creativity. They can string them onto necklaces or bracelets; use them as stringing beads for a younger sibling; or simply add them to another art design.
This is not a toddler project (though they will probably enjoy the end result). It could be adapted to use with younger children as long as there is plenty of parental participation and guidance, but it might be a better craft to save for when they get a little bit older.
The big kid verdict: It filled more than an hour for both the boy-child and the girl-child, and both seemed to enjoy it. Obviously, it's more of a girly project than a boy project; boys may have more trouble finding something to do with their finished project.
The mom verdict: this one is worth keeping around! It's cheap, easy, and stilled the bickering for at least a few minutes—sounds like a win!

Loan Watch: Great start for Blair
by Stuart Vose
We go around the grounds to catch up with loan prospects.
Blair Adams got his spell at Coventry off to a great start with a big away win on his debut over the weekend.
City ran out 5-0 winners over Hartlepool at Victoria Park, with Adams (pictured) playing the full 90 minutes after confirming his move to the Ricoh Arena on Saturday morning.
Sunderland striker Ryan Noble started for Hartlepool, who suffered defeat in John Hughes' first game in charge.
Meanwhile Ahmed Elmohamady and David Meyler both featured as Hull City ran out 3-2 winners at Birmingham.
Elmohamady played the full 90 minutes while Meyler appeared as a 63rd-minute substitute as the Tigers held off a Blues comeback to retain fourth spot in the Npower Championship.
Steve Bruce's side found themselves 3-0 up inside 34 minutes but were forced to hold out for the win after the hosts twice reduced the deficit.
But there was frustration for John Egan's Bradford, with the defender playing 90 minutes of a 1-0 home defeat to Exeter.

On my way to work this morning I noticed that there was an interesting fog hanging over the Annapolis Basin. Realizing that there was the potential for an interesting picture, I turned the car into the parking lot across from the old Granville Ferry Anglican church. Within a couple of minutes I was able to snap a handful of pictures that show about 250 years of development on the Annapolis Royal waterfront. The earliest building (Bailey, Murray, Bonnett and Robertson Houses) date to the arrival of the New England Planters in the 1760s or United Empire Loyalists in the 1780s. These houses served the desperate crowds who were fleeing America in the years following the American Revolution.
The O'Dell House Museum, Pickles & Mills Building, old Post Office and the McCormick Store all date between 1860 and 1900, a period known as the Golden Age of Sail. These buildings were built at a time when Annapolis Royal was a significant port. Ships from around the world would have tied up to one of the many wharves along the waterfront. King's Theatre was built in the aftermath of two devastating fires in 1920 and 1921. Through live performances and movies, this building has served as an essential part of the cultural life of our community for almost 100 years. It really is amazing what you can find on a foggy morning.
All for now,
