A new study finds that the cost of treating diabetes has skyrocketed so dramatically that some patients admit they're skipping the drugs.
But should they really be paying that much?
Nesita Kwan reports.
"About how much a month is your diabetes medicine?"
Even with health insurance, Lenita Brown said her co-pays have more than tripled over the last eight years.
That's when she started taking the meds for type-two diabetes, and now, she admits, she sometimes scrimps on her pills.
"At times I need to stretch the medication out," said Lenita Brown.
And other times…
"Can't buy a new pair of shoes today, can't go to the hairdresser next week," said Brown. "You know you're constantly doing something in order to pay for the medicine."
So, at the University of Chicago Medical Center, Dr. Caleb Alexander prescribes older, generic drugs to Brown.
They cost far less than the newest drugs on the market.
Dr. Caleb Alexander, who conducted the study said, "One thing we found in our study is the costs of some of the newer medicine are 8 to 10 times the cost of their older counterparts."
And yet here's the question.
Dr. Alexander says there's no long term evidence that the newer drugs are more effective, or even as safe as drugs from the 1990's.
His study in the archives of internal medicine may prompt doctors to rethink how they use the newest diabetes drugs: and even to emphasize non-drug treatments.
"Our study highlights encouraging patients to lead healthy lifestyles," Dr. Alexander explained.

Simulator Knowledge Retention - Road Map to Knowledge Transfer
Simulator Knowledge Retention - Road Map to Knowledge Transfer - Senior Simulation Personnel do not Grow on Trees. WHAT IS IN A EPITAPH? On the grave of Ezekiel Aikle in East Dalhousie Cemetery, Nova Scotia: Here lies Ezekiel Aikle Age 102: The Good Die Young. Think about was Ezekiel Good? Was 102 to young for him to die? What about the object oriented programmer who was heard scratch in his coffin, he was decomposing his objects. AMEREN ENERGY RESOURCES - Service Area Map, 7 Illinois (Deregulated) Station based Simulators, Maintenance Simulator suite, Individual - User Simulators, simulator software vendors designed by 4 companies, Emulated, virtual, and hybrid. KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER: We build and maintain training simulators. This are used as tools to: Demonstrate basic physics, thermodynamics and principals of system operation. System interactions. (They never forget, we often forget.) Demonstrate proficiency in plant operation. They are part of a training program, they are not a training program in and of themselves. Standard Approach to Training (SAT). Job Task Analysis. Independent, Learning materials and design. Learning evaluation. Feedback and evaluation of effective training. SAT (Continued) – Where to teach and where to evaluate? – The simulator is an answer, but not always the best one. Who do we train? – Operations staff. – Maintenance staff. – Train the trainer. – But do we train the people who maintain the simulators? Simulators are only as good as the weak link in the chain. They need expert knowledge in all four to be senior in this industry. It is this unique blend for the four disciplines that allows them to see pit falls in the major assets that by training we are hoping to protect. How do we get new ones of these? Or are we hoping that Ezekiel is filling this position. If you are not doing succession planning at this level you are planning to fail! Plant Operations, Industrial Training, Computer Science and Plant Engineering we expect these people to be able to converse in all these fields. Simulation specialist need to understand the lessons from the past and avoid the pit falls of the future. Source, from one of the fields. May have some knowledge in a related field. If more than two, I start asking what simulators have you worked with. Apprenticeship – Throw them in the deep end and see if they swim? – Expensive. – Likely to learn bad habits. Over confidence a problem after early success. Long commitment, management oversight is critical. Catch the train early in a problem and avoid a train wreck. Best practice model has specific learning goal for each level of experience.

Snow and ice go together like bees and flowers but many people regard ice as bothersome. It can be dangerous to walk and drive on ice and it's usually an inconvenience to have to shovel out walkways and salt the paths so it's safe to travel. Yet ice has an important part of everyday life. Ice is the reason we are able to refrigerate food and keep things fresh.
Simply stated, ice is water that has been frozen into a solid state. It must be below 32 degrees in order for snow and ice to form. Ice is usually transparent but it can sometimes appear white or bluish. Ice appears on planets other than earth; it has been seen on Mercury and the Oort Cloud (this kind of in-space ice is known as "interstellar ice"). On earth, ice is most abundant in the polar regions of the Artic and Antarctica.
Ice is an important component of earth's global climate via the water cycle. Geological ice formations include sea ice, ice sheets, glaciers and icebergs. Ice also appears on earth's climate as snowflakes, hail, frost, icicles and ice spikes. Ice is essential to the processes of precipitation and deposition. The importance of ice on the environment is one of the main reasons why global warming (and the subsequent decline of ice) is so worrying.
Humans can also use ice as a means of entertainment and recreational activities—even competitive sports. For example, ice skating is one of the most watched events in the Winter Olympic roster and ice sculpting is a popular artistic endeavor at parties and other social events.

This Regency era battle of wits, wills, and the sexes features a wily duke determined to see the succession of his line secured. The duke can't force his sons to marry, but he can make their lives miserable until they do. Resisting his pressure, each gentleman holds out for true love.Publisher: Sourcebooks Casablanca
The Soldier features Devlin St. Just, oldest, but illegitimate, son of the duke of Moreland, who arrives at his new estate weary in body and spirit only to find it is in no better shape than he is. Worse, the previous owner's bastard daughter, five-year-old Winnie Farnum, has become a fixture on the property, and also Devlin's responsibility. He dragoons Winnie's cousin, Emmaline Farnum, into serving as a temporary governess, only to discover that she can nurture him too, in ways no other woman ever has before.
Devlin's battle-worn spirit calls to Emmie, but Emmie is keeping devastating secrets from him. Revealing what Emmie has hidden becomes Devlin's mission, because he knows that if only he can find out the truth, it will change everything, and they all three might then have their only chance at ever finding love and happiness...
Release Date: June 1, 2011
Release Format: Mass Market Paperback
Genre: Historical Romance
448 Pages
Single Title/Series: THE SOLDIER is book two in the Duke's Obsession series but can very easily be read as a stand alone novel.
Cover Thoughts: Very beautiful. I love the colors, the shimmering detail and the swirling font.
Origin: I received an Advanced Review Copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
My Review:
The Plot:
For the newly titled Earl of Rosecroft, it would appear upon his arrival to the rural wilderness of Yorkshire that Devlin St. Just's estate is badly in need of repair, much like his own tattered soul. Haunted by the brutal memories of his service to the crown against Bonaparte, Devlin barely clings to his sanity. Luckily, an immediate distraction presents itself in the form of a sassy five-year-old child and her curvaceous self-imposed guardian who smells intriguingly like freshly baked bread. Thunderstruck by both females, Devlin soon finds himself feeling a previously never before felt desire: he wants to keep them.
Emmaline Farnum is an outsider in Yorkshire. Tainted not only by her self employment as a baker, but by the scandalous reputations of both her mother and her aunt, Emmie's content with her lot in life except for when it comes to her precocious young cousin, Winnie. The previous Earl of Rosecroft's by-blow, Winnie's only remaining family is Emmie but with her rightful place being at Rosecroft, Emmie is unwilling to become too associated with the child for fear that her family ties will blacken Winnie's social well being. But with the recent death of the previous earl, Winnie is all alone at Rosecroft except for the newly minted Devlin St. Just. Agreeing with Devlin that Winnie's transition should be as smooth as possible, Emmie agrees to remove her business to Rosecroft and live there until a suitable governess can be hired but she's ill-prepared for the bursting compassion and desire she feels for the world weary earl.
It's not long before Devlin fancies himself in love Emmie. The delectable confections and smells she brings to his home, the ease with which he finds himself confiding in her, and the family atmosphere she brings along with Winnie have all brought new meaning to Devlin's life. While he still suffers from setbacks of post traumatic stress, Devlin slowly looses his desolate uncertainty of never being able to function wholly. But when his proposal is met with rejection, Devlin soon uncovers a backbone of steel within Emmie that might very well doom both their lives to eternal emptiness.
The Heroine:
Stubborn to her very core and determined that Winnie will have the life of privilege and security that she deserves, Emmie will sacrifice everything including her very happiness to ensure the well being of her young cousin who has only ever known disappointment. Certain that her presence in Winnie's life will damage her cousin's future social acceptance, Emmie does what she can to steel her heart from her decision that will ultimately deprive her of Winnie's companionship and most of all, of Devlin St. Just.
Never intending to fall in love with the beautiful earl, Emmie is helpless to stop her desire. Knowing that cultivating any romantic relationship with the earl will end in heartbreak, Emmie does what she can to avoid Devlin but her heart's and her body's need will not be ignored. Angered with herself after every amorous incident, Emmie knows that she needs to remove herself not only from Rosecroft, but from Yorkshire. She will never subject Devlin nor Winnie to the taint of her family. In her heart, they deserve better.
The Hero:
Dropped on the doorstep as the bastard son of the Duke of Moreland, Devlin St. Just has never reconciled his soul with the abandonment of his mother at the tender age of five. Forever jealous of the easy love between his half brothers and sisters with his stepmother, Devlin has always set himself apart from his family as a means of self preservation. Now, haunted by his violent tour on the continent as well as the loss of two brothers in battle, Devlin is more distant than ever. Repairing to Yorkshire and the earldom his father arranged for him, Devlin feels both angst and relief with his new home. Distant enough from the social whirlwind he despises, yet unfamiliar enough to spark his bad memories, Devlin throws himself into his duties and his one true love: horses.
Never once anticipating that two females would impact his life so thoroughly, Devlin doesn't mind the distraction they present but rather revels in it. Immediately relieved to find his body's renewed stirrings toward the opposite sex, Devlin can't get enough of his new resident cook and temporary guardian of his young ward. Emmie is a dream made reality and Devlin doesn't wait to proclaim his love nor his desire to take her to wife. But when his request is met with rejection, Devlin is too much a man to ask again but no less of a man when trying to do what he can to secure Emmie's happiness in any small way. Her determination to put distance between him and Winnie leaves a sour taste but Devlin will do what he must to respect Emmie's wishes even if it means signing himself to lifetime of emptiness.
My Final Thoughts:
While wistful and at times, deeply emotional, THE SOLDIER lacked reader engagement as well as having the misfortune of showcasing a confounding heroine and a hero who never asks the burning questions.
Swinging back and forth, Emmie Farnum is an irritating pendulum. Burning hot than cold she caves to her body's desires only to wake with indignant anger come morning. Knowingly using Devlin to soothe an ache while also harboring the determination to abandon him, Emmie, for all she's worth, can't hide the truth of her heart's desire but she can hide the real cowardly reason for wanting to leave. Beyond that, she's willing to abandon a young child who idolizes and loves her for the worst kind of reason: the selfish need to selfless. Finally, not only does Emmie have little self worth, she lacks trust and only manages to reconcile herself to Devlin after she's given up all hope and the strength to pursue the path she's set. Instead she's hurt those she loves for the absurd notion of protecting them for the burden of her watery-grey reputation.
Devlin, conversely, is a lovely hero with an incredibly kind and forgiving heart. He could give a fig about society's thoughts where he's concerned. Trying to do what's best for a very young girl and the woman he loves, Devlin exudes the most patient of hearts. He truly deserves more from Emmie but instead he's on the receiving end of her tedious and painful ways. Still, frustration mounted for this reader when serious questions begged to be demanded and thus answered. Instead, as perhaps fodder to propel the plot, Devlin is never direct in his concerns. His actions are slightly out of character too since Devlin is so direct in all other circumstances...
However, there is some light at the end of this dark tunnel and that's Winnie. She's such a sassy little thing and there's no hoodwinking this little smarty pants. As with Devlin, Winnie deserves more from Emmie. In her cowardliness, Emmie does what she can to keep Winnie in the dark about her plans to leave Yorkshire which is futile given the fact that the girl can sniff out a lie from three miles away. Truly the life of the novel, Winnie steals the show from page one and I relished every scene that she was apart of.
Likely to receive mixed reviews, THE SOLDIER is saddled with numerous issues with a few thankful endearing qualities. Boasting a wonderfully kind hero and a lovable child star, many might overlook the irritating qualities of its heroine. Sadly, the novel simply didn't work for me but I am willing to give Burrowes another try with her upcoming THE VIRTUOSO featuring Devlin's charming younger brother Valentine.

wich is great i just love that you can play with who you want and not only the people in your faction :D
03-18-2011, 11:52
They do make a small difference sometimes in sieges and stuff. since you can bank easily if your next to your city and you can use the towers to your own advatange. And sometimes they do help with trades and stuff. But apart from that theres no point rly.
Just pick what you like to play. (excluding those dw0rfs) :P
Edit: They are rly thinking of making them more usefull in the future, so dont pick random either way ;)

Hey Erin, thanks for the post :) This bathroom is truly the gift that keeps on giving...We did it four years ago, and people are still talking about it, and we are still getting calls for work because of it!
Just about everything in that bathroom is from Urban Archaeology, the tiles, the tub, the light fixture, even the side table. Urban Archaeology was a sponsor of the showhouse, and we had free reign to select from any of their products, which was awesome!
As for the other items in the room...The lanterns, towels and robes were from General Home Store in Sag Harbor, NY, the sink accessories were from Gracious Home in New York City, and we designed/fabricated the roman shade.
And, Dale...Regarding the neighbors being able to see in the window: This was a newly-constructed house, and the builder had just planted some fast-growing evergreen trees between the two houses...So, within a couple of years they had the privacy that you would expect a master bathroom to have!

The platform will feature the LGA 2011 socket (yes, another one) and see the PCI-E hub moved from the northbridge to the processor die -- much like with the P67. The X79 chipset (or platform controller hub) also gets a DMI connection to the processor but supplements this with an additional PCI-Express 2.0 x4 link to the processor's PCI-E hub, for a total bandwidth of 8GB/s to support the integrated 10-port SATA 6Gbps controller plus four 3Gbps ports.
By comparison, current high-end 6-series chipsets only get two-port 6Gbps SATA beside four 3Gbps ports. Eight of the SATA 6Gbps ports can be set up as SAS (serial-attached SCSI), and RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 are also supported. There's no talk of an integrated USB 3.0 controller or Thunderbolt for that matter, but the PCH still features 14 USB 2.0 ports.
Boards based on the X79 will allow for two PCI-Express x16 @ x16 or four PCIe x16 @ x8 slots and are set to have at least four DDR3 slots since Sandy Bridge E CPUs work with quad-channel memory. Other features include an integrated Lewisville gigabit Ethernet PHY chip and audio codec with support for dual stream HDMI and DP audio. Lastly, the slides mention overclocking capabilities for the processor and memory, which is expected for this enthusiast platform.

Dr. Wallach starts the show discussing diseases he feels are caused by doctors. Vitamin D3 deficiencies because doctors tell people to lower their cholesterol and stay out of the sun. Sleep apnea he contends is a natural occurance and doctors are just trying to sell C pap machines. Alzeheimer's because of cholesterol lowering drugs and not eating fats.
Pearls of Wisdom
Doug Winfrey and Dr. Wallach discuss a news article on weight loss. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health believe that weight loss can be acheived by cutting 10 calories for every pound the person wants to lose. Using this formula they say someone could lose 10 pounds in 3 years. Doc is not impressed as he has helped people lose hundreds of pounds in the same time frame.
- Susie has a friend with hypertension whose doctor is recommending a knee replacement procedure.
- Tammy has bone on bone arthritis and wants to avoid surgery.
- Audro has grey hair and wants Dr. Wallach to recommend a nutritional supplement program.
- William's sister is being treated for stage 4 breast cancer.

Using technology to conquer harassment in Egypt: A look at HarassMap
When we see major social problems around us continue to grow, we can either ignore them, deny them, or face them head on to find solutions using whatever resources we have. The volunteers at the HarassMap initiative in Egypt have decided not to sit still, taking the problem of sexual harassment head on, an issue that many have previously ignored or denied.
Inspired by previous campaigns against sexual harassment in Egypt, four young women founded the initiative in 2009. HarassMap is aimed at ending the social acceptance of harassment through various means of intervention inclduing reporting harassment incidents on the streets through several tools (SMS, on the website, or on various social media outlets), offering legal and psychological help and counseling, and conducting social campaigns on the ground, led by volunteers.
HarassMap takes advantage of the growing internet and smartphone penetration in Egypt and relies on crowd mapping where victims and volunteers can document each incident on an online map of Egypt, accessible via their website and social media.
One of the first independent initiatives to fight this phenomenon, whether in the field or online, HarassMap has set the stage for other anti-sexual harassment campaigns, including Tahrir Bodyguards and Op Anti-Sexual harassment. There has been a surge of interest in such groups, especially among Egypt's youth, following the proliferation of sexual violence after the January 25, 2011 revolution.
Building the initiative
Once the idea was in place, HarassMap grew quickly. Initially, harassment had to be reported to a mobile number; now HarassMap features a hotline. Reporting an incident can also be done through a simple voice recording without having to write an SMS, and without access to the internet.
Angy Ghezlan, a cofounder of HarassMap, clarifies that the available harassment map on their website doesn't reflect the real harassment rates in any of Egypt's regions or provinces. Although the numbers shown on the map only reflect reported cases, by those with access to technology and the ability to record their experience, the many reports that are available are certainly enough to counter any argument that sexual harassment is limited to Cairo, only happens during certain hours of the day, or is perpetrated by those of certain social backgrounds.
Volunteers ultimately seek to build social awareness about the pervasiveness of the issue through communication with the citizens of each region in Egypt to create a culture that condemns sexual harassment.
"No initiative or social entrepreneurial project can continue relying on grant funding; they must find ways to self-fund and attain financial sustainability," admits Ghezlan. Until recently, the initiative had no outside funding; the team used resources from personal contacts and even spent their own money to keep activities going.
In an attempt to become financially sustainable, however, the HarassMap founders joined Cairo-based social enterprise incubator Nahdet el Mahrousa, under whose wing they've now been running for nearly three years. HarassMap also recently attempted a crowdfunding campaign that unfortunately didn't make it to their ambitious $200,000 goal.
Recognizing their potential to do social good elsewhere, the HarassMap team has cooperated with groups in several other countries to adapt the initiative and offer technical help. This cooperation has led to the creation of similar initiatives in seven other countries, including in Palestine and Bangladesh. The team is in the process of developing HarassMap spinoffs in 13 additional countries, including the United States, South Africa, Japan, and Indonesia.
Looking ahead
In addition to the ongoing "Why is he harassing?" campaign, launched on social media in 2013 in response to arguments justifying sexual harassment, HarassMap will organize school activities, starting with public schools, under the motto "safe schools," with the goal of offering awareness about sexual harassment to students and school administrators.
With time, HarassMap hopes to be at the forefront of a societal change in the perception of the harassment phenomenon. Already, sexual harassment in Egypt is drawing greater national and international attention, a fact made possible by the efforts of several young men and women who merely started talking, working, and taking action with simple resources, refusing to bow to larger powers who continue to ignore or even deny the truth.

Am I alone in my 'like' of the former ABC series, Samantha Who? starring child star-comedienne Christina Applegate? I still remember the last episode and was highly disappointed. Yes fans got to see the 'connection' and her friend-man-roommate but it seemed a little rushed. But then very few short-lived TV series get that opportunity. Remember the show, Half & Half, starring Rachel True and Essence Atkins, and that fateful moment when Mona had to choose between the model-like chef Lorenzo Lathan [Charles Divins] and the suave Chase [Lahman Rucker]. The series had been building on that moment for months and then 'SNAP' - oh no you didn't-- the series was cancelled.
Well I felt the same disappointment with Samantha Who?. Still Ms. Applegate is a survivor, in more ways than one, as she also dealt with breast cancer. Her ability to maneuver in television and film is equally admirable as her comedic timing, (hey I still watch Married with Children reruns and movies Sweetest Thing, The Big Hit and Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead)
With that said, fans of Ms. Applegate's can check her out on NBC this fall in the show, Up All Night, co-starring Will Arnett and Saturday Night Liver Maya Rudolph, all coincidentally are parents in their own right--no wonder they're up all night! Heh, heh. Um--okay, I didn't say I was a comedienne. But I definitely appreciate a good laugh or two.
The show will focus on how the challenges of being a parent while balancing work and life. What parent can't relate to that? With the comedic rapport between the cast members let's hope the show has a longer lifespan than that Samantha girl.

Customer Reviews
All round great product
- I bought this in smoky brown. The liner comes on smooth, does not irritate the eyes, good in pigmentation, and wears for a long time. Is product to use and does not take long to apply.
All round great product
- I bought this in smoky brown. The liner comes on smooth, does not irritate the eyes, good in pigmentation, and wears for a long time. Is product to use and does not take long to apply.
Nice and convenient product
- This product is nice and convenient since it has a 3 in 1 application (eyeliner, shadow, smudger). I got the smokey mink and it gives a soft look. Now I want to try the other colors.
Great concept
- I bought four of these when they were on sale. I had never tried them before, but was intrigued with such a wonderful all-in-one design. Plus, I fell in love with the pixi eyeliner sample in the winter 2014 target beauty box, so I knew that if anything I wanted more eyeliner from pixi. I ordered, smoky grey, smokey mink, smokey bronze and smoky black. I love all of them, HOWEVER, the smokey black eye shadow has fall out, due to the sparkly flecks in it. That is the only shade that I had any issue with. So, that is the only reason why I ranked this as a 4 instead of a 5. The other colors are great and I have not noticed the amount of fall out as I did from the black set. The liners for all of the colors are wnoerful and I love the smudger at the end of each pencil. I plan to take one of these pencils with me when I travel, the all-in-one concept is very clever and convenient.
Love the liner!
I got Smokey Bronze on a whim, having never bought anything from Pixi before. I love it! The eyeliner applies fairly smoothly, and I use the smudger to blend the liner into my eye. I generally don't look good in dramatic looks, like the smokey eye, so I haven't used the eye shadow part of the stick. The color is perfect for me, a nice almost dark brown (it shows up darker than in the picture,) and lasts all day. It also removes well, so that you don't have raccoon eyes after wearing it.
I love how Pixi caters to more natural looks, as that is what makes me look great!
Good buy! I'm switching to Pixi!
Love this product!
- This is such a great product. The color of the smoky plum makes my green eyes look so nice. The shadow stays on all day as does the liner. So easy to apply to get that smoky eye look.
Quickest, easiest smoky eye ever
I work full time and attend lectures in the evenings, so most of my makeup application is done on a train in about 10 minutes.
This product is awesome (I have the Smoky Bronze shade) as you can use the twist up liner (no sharpening, yay!) for a lovely dark line and the handy eyeshadow applicator to either smoke out the line, or do what I prefer which is to add shade to the crease of the eye. The smudger then smokes it out nicely, resulting in a dramatic smoky eye in about 2 minutes flat!
If you often go straight from work to evenings out, you NEED this in your makeup bag, trust me! Keep your concealer handy though, as there tends to be a little bit of fall out from the eyeshadow. Well worth it though, as this provides a quick and easy dramatic eye look that lasts the whole night. Love it!! Please bring out more colours ;)
love how easy this product is!
- this product is so easy and convenient because you have your eyeliner and eyeshadow in one, making it perfect for travel as well
Love this product!
- this is wonderful because you can use it as a liner or smudge it out and use it as a gorgeous eyeshadow!
Go to waterline Liner!
- Its an easy application. I love it. I have "Smokey Brown " I do prefer liquid liner. But this my go to liner when doing a neutral smokey eye. Its so smooth. Love love love it. Definitely going to get another color soon!

ScHoolboy Q
In 2012, Top Dawg announced they had signed a joint venture deal with Interscope and Aftermath, which saw fellow Black Hippy member Kendrick Lamar's debut album get a full release. Later that year, ScHoolboy Q announced he was recording his third album and would be the second member of Black Hippy to benefit from the deal. After a series of mysterious tweets in 2013, Q announced that the release would be called Oxymoron, but nearly a year passed before the dark and abstract album -- which featured a whole host of guest producers and vocalists -- was released in February 2014. Nevertheless, it debuted at number one on the pop charts and pushed the single "Studio" into the Top 40. ~ David Jeffries & Rich Wilson

Dear Dr. Gott: I'm having trouble with my balance. What can you tell me about the cause?
Dear Reader: Your brief note is difficult to answer. You don't give your age, gender, current medical conditions or medications, symptoms, how long you have had this difficulty or any other pertinent information. Therefore, I can only give you brief, general background on some of the most common causes of balance difficulties.
First, see your primary-care physician. He or she is your best resource for help and will be able to refer you to an appropriate specialist. Be prepared to answer several questions. The doctor will need to know how long you have been experiencing symptoms and which symptoms are causing the balance problems. Are you having abnormal skin or muscle sensations (such as pins and needles) in your feet or legs? Are you having difficulty focusing your eyes? Do you feel as though you are light-headed, dizzy or faint?
It is important that the physician knows every detail to narrow down the list of possible causes. Some of the more common reasons for balance difficulties include vertigo (an inner-ear malfunction), motion sickness, Meniere's disease, heart abnormalities, low blood pressure, medications, joint damage and anxiety disorders.
Each diagnosis carries its own complications, risk factors, treatment and prognosis. Some, such as the side effects of medications or joint damage, are fairly easily dealt with, while others, such as vertigo and Meniere's, are notoriously more difficult to treat. There are several tests that can be used to pinpoint the cause of the problem.
Because there are several factors (eyes, ears, skin / muscle / nerves) that work together to help us balance, finding the specific cause may take time.
Dear Dr. Gott: I just wanted to write to thank you for saving my life. Quite some time ago, you had an article that stated that if a person suffers from repeated attacks of shingles, the cause may really be a malignancy somewhere in the body.
I had shingles six times and remembered that article. I went to my doctor and told him about it. He then ordered a chest X-ray, and a quarter-size mass was found. It was caught early, and I am now taking chemotherapy.
Dear Reader: Shingles is a reactivation of the herpes zoster virus (which also causes chickenpox). In people with weakened immune systems (because of cancer or other conditions), the virus can become reactivated many times. In a person with a normal immune system only one outbreak of shingles is likely.

The Era Of Now And The Age Of The Customer — Why Resiliency Is More Critical Than Ever
Posted by Rachel Dines on April 4, 2013
- 421 Recommendations
- 3 comments
We live in the era of NOW. If a website takes too long to load, or doesn't load at all, we will move on in a matter of milliseconds. If an ATM can't dispense cash — unacceptable. Our favorite online store is unavailable — unheard of. Not only have our expectations risen to astronomical heights, but our increasing dependence on technology means we can't cope without it. If our electronic medical records are unavailable — lives are at stake. If the utility's critical IT systems go down — millions are left without power.
We also live in the age of the customer. The most forward-looking companies are orienting themselves around delivering the best possible customer experience. For many, this means redesigning web interfaces, integrating more technology into storefronts, developing mobile applications, and streamlining processes. But what about improving uptime, availability, and resiliency? Isn't this the baseline that everything else depends upon to have any type of customer experience?
I've found that resiliency initiatives often fail to get momentum because they are so focused on disasters and downtime, and fail to link back to critical business processes and services. Too often, infrastructure and operations professionals focus on server uptime or network uptime, and fail to see the big picture, that what the business really cares about is services, not individual components. But let's take this a step further, we should be focusing our investments in resiliency on the customer experience. It doesn't matter if the data center is under 5 feet of water or if someone accidentally deleted a critical file, if the customer experience suffers, we need to have a plan.
I'll be diving into more depth on this topic, with customer case studies and specific examples of where you can embed resiliency into infrastructure and operations in order to make your customer experience as bulletproof as possible at our Forum For CIO, EA, Infrastructure & Ops, Security & Risk, And Sourcing Professionals this May. I hope you'll be able to join me there, but in the meantime, I'd love to hear thoughts and feedback here on this blog.
Compelling Challenge
Comment from Robert O'Brien on Fri, 04/05/2013 - 15:55
This is a great post, looking forward to the ongoing blog. Very compelling challenge, right at the the intersection of two fundamental trends in the market. Both of these trends seem to be accelerating and feeding off of each other. Customers are more empowered and expecting the digital platforms (as outlined so well in Digital Disruptions) to deliver apps, content, etc. 'now'. Are Forrester clients experiencing this globally? Would be interested in perspectives and best practices for managing in this new environment.
Thanks for focusing on this subject!
Bob (@rvobrien)
Good point
Comment from Rachel Dines on Tue, 04/09/2013 - 14:18
Thanks Bob! I think you have a good point about these two trends not just intersecting, but actually feeding off eachother and accelerating. I do see this as a challenge that spans geographies, but it's certainly more acute at the most globally distributed companies since it's always 9-5 somewhere.
CustServe and Product Experience

At MindTouch, we're seeing this is especially true for our customers related to content updates as part of the customer support and product experience. Now more than ever NOW is expected. With the shift to agile development, tools for collaborating on product knowledge and updating real-time are critical. The end users expect it.

I am working up a new media literacy unit for next semester. A colleague at SSU showed me a really fantastic Introduction to Media Literacy resource from the Media Literacy Project. What I like about the article is the clear delineation between beginning, intermediate and advanced literacy techniques. The 16 page document covers media literacy (in general terms) and then gives examples of different persuasion techniques media uses to influence viewers. There are concrete questions at the end of the document students can use to evaluate images and videos.
Once I develop a lesson plan, I will decide if I want students to evaluate a particular image, or if part of the unit will be them finding AND evaluating their own image from a normal daily activity (bus add, tv commercial, etc.). I highly recommend the resource.

To bad those most apt to be influenced can't read the article about Media Literacy. (It seemed pretty unbiased and fair in their conclusions, etc).
It might help the "easily swayables" better decide what is really "real" and not just some indoctrination attempt to sway them somewhere else!
Be interesting to see how you can use this in an on-class situation.

I have been patiently waiting, not just because I am paler than the palest of vampires (as is Indigo, though River has a little more colour), but because we got given a sandpit to have fun in the garden with and due to the copious amounts of summer rain it has not had a chance to be played in - until now!
The sandpit is from Argos and construction wise, it is seriously easy to put together. It is colourful, but tastefully so, which means it is pretty easy on the eyes and fits into the colourful jungle that we call our garden quite nicely. It has a cover to keep out creepy crawlies and naughty cats - though the only downside is that the cover does not clip into place, so to secure it you have to use stones or rocks ...or actually if you have some, bricks would also work quite well.
The sandpit was easy for them to get in and out of and I really think it makes a great addition to our garden and adds a whole new element of fun for the twins.
We also got given a Fireman Sam trike. This is perhaps a tiny bit too big for them at the moment, but they had lots of fun being pushed around and when we all head to Center Parcs in September, I imagine it will get a load more use. It is bright and colourful and I think I will def have to nab myself another in the near future as sharing at the moment apparently, is not quite their forte...
You can find out more about these items here.
Well, after washing two sand covered tots and having spent some time sizzling/sparkling in the sun. I need to sleep!
Below are some more pictures of River and Indigo having fun in their sandpit.

Running back Chris Ivory will get his shot, New Orleans Saints interim coach Joe Vitt said during his press conference Thursday. Ivory has not carried the ball this season and expressed frustration Wednesday with his lack of playing time.
Vitt saw things a bit differently.
"We're excited about Chris Ivory," he said. "We have a great stable of backs right here. Chris is going to get his chance. Chris ain't going nowhere."
Vitt said it's been great to see the progression of the team in his first week back, and thinks that the Saints are growing daily.
"The final chapter of this season has not been written yet," he said. "We are what we are right now. We're 2-4. But the final chapter hasn't been written yet."
Vitt wouldn't make excuses, however, and said he knows where they need to improve.
"We need to play better defense," he said. "Our players know that and our coaches know that, and this is a work in progress. The journey of getting a team better is the reward. ... That's what we get paid for and that's the phone of this business."
Added Saints linebacker Scott Shanle: "We look at stats around here. You never want to see those rankings up there. ... We just need to take it week by week."
It'll be a challenge against Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning and his offense, particularly in the fourth quarter.
"What they've done in the second half has been historical," Shanle said. "What they've done in the fourth quarter is unheard of. They're getting better every game and I'm sure they're getting better every practice."

Brittle bloke Amir Khan remains hopeful that he will face Manny Pacquiao or Floyd Mayweather at some point in 2015.
The 37-year-old Mayweather (46-0, 26 KOs) will again throw fists with Marcos Maidana on September 13 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Meanwhile, roughly two months later on November 23, the 35-year-old Pacquiao (56-5-2, 38 KOs) will meet ballsy New Yorker Chris Algieri at the Venetian Casino & Resort in Macau, China.
"Boxing is all about timing and Manny and Floyd are getting older," said Khan, 27, who was arrested in July for allegedly assaulting two teenagers as they were returning from a mosque in Bolton.
"Someone has to take their place. Mayweather would be a very technical fight, like a game of chess. But I think Manny would be harder. He's much more aggressive and it would be more intense. But with my trainer Virgil Hunter I'm a much better and more defensive fighter."
Following a 13-month absence, Khan most recently vacated the squared circle in May after universally outscoring tough Puerto Rican Luis Collazo.
Competing as a welterweight, Khan floored the 33-year-old Collazo (35-6, 18 KOs) in the third and twice in the 10th to win by counts of 119-104, 119-104 and 117-106.
Still, despite the landslide outcome, "King Khan" again proved to be a human chandelier and was nearly rendered unconscious by Collazo in the eighth round.
To his credit, Khan persevered and showed much faster hands, good movement, and solid power.
Shelved this summer while observing Ramadan, Khan is expected to reenter the ring in December versus either Robert Guerrero or Devon Alexander.
While both Mayweather and Pacquiao will emerge victorious in their upcoming bouts, Khan's future is precarious because he is fragile and possesses a glass jaw.
Far removed from being "a much better and more defensive fighter," Amir Khan is a middling presence in the professional ranks.

Health & Balance
Happiness: 6 Myths and Truths
Myth 2: Happiness is a destination. continued...
Robert Biswas-Diener, co-author of Happiness: Unlocking the Mysteries of Psychological Wealth, agrees.
"Happiness isn't the emotional finish line in the race of life," he says. It's a process and a resource. Biswas-Diener says there's a mountain of data showing that when people are happier, they become healthier and more curious, sociable, helpful, creative, and willing to try new things.
"Happiness is not just an emotional flight of fancy," he says. "It's beneficial for the long run, serving a real function in our lives."
In psychological lingo, this is called the broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions, says Michael A. Cohn, PhD, a postdoctoral researcher with the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. Cohn recently conducted a study with 86 college students who submitted daily emotion reports. The researchers measured the students' ability to flexibly respond to challenging and shifting circumstances and used a scale to assess life satisfaction. The study showed that positive emotions increased resilience -- skills for identifying opportunities and bouncing back from adversity -- as well as life satisfaction.
Myth 3: You always adapt to your happiness set point.
It's true that people tend to adapt fairly quickly to positive changes in their lives, Lyubomirsky says. In fact, adaptation is one of the big obstacles to becoming happier. The long-awaited house, the new car, the prestigious job -- all can bring a temporary boost but then recede into the background over time.
Why does this happen? One reason, Lyubomirsky says, is that we evolved to pay more attention to novelty. For our ancestors, novelty signaled either danger or opportunity – a chance for a new mate or food, for example. We're attuned to contrasts, not sameness. But that also means we readily adapt to positive experiences that happen to us, Lyubomirsky says.
"I argue that you can thwart adaptation, slow it down, or prevent it with active ways of thinking or behaving," says Lyubomirsky, who, after moving to Santa Monica, Calif., found herself adapting to her beautiful surroundings. To counteract this trend, she put effort into appreciating the view she saw when running on a path overlooking the ocean. She says she now savors that view every day, trying to see it "through the eyes of a tourist."
To help thwart adaptation, you can also use novelty to your advantage. For instance, if your home has become a little ho-hum, you might try rearranging furniture or hosting parties for a variety of friends. Voluntary activities like these are most effective because they require you to pay attention, Lyubomirsky notes.

AIDS and Hearing
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has been identified as the virus that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The terms HIV and AIDS, while familiar to most, are often mistakenly used interchangeably. HIV refers to the specific virus that infects a particular group of immune cells. Many HIV-infected individuals maintain normal immune cell counts and remain asymptomatic for long periods of time. These individuals do not meet the clinical definition of AIDS. In the event the virus infects more and more cells, the HIV-infected individual's immune cell counts decrease, resulting in the reduced ability to effectively fight off infection and disease. Once an infected individual's immune cell count declines to a certain level and/or the individual develops a specific disease condition (i.e. pneumonia), the individual meets the category of AIDS. In other words, HIV infected individuals do not necessarily have AIDS, however, a person with AIDS is always infected with HIV.
In terms of the auditory system, audiological changes may occur either as a direct or indirect consequence of HIV infection. HIV maintains a preferential affinity to the central nervous system. While the exact mechanisms for HIV infection is poorly understood, central pathology associated with abnormal auditory evoked potentials represents one of the few audiological manifestations directly attributable to HIV infection, particularly for those who have progressed to AIDS.
Indirectly, changes in hearing are mainly attributable to two factors: opportunistic infections and ototoxicity. Opportunistic infections (OI) originate from commonplace, ubiquitous organisms that do not cause infection in healthy individuals, but take the opportunity to infect individuals with weakened immune systems. The most common OIs associated with this patient population, including but not limited to cytomegalovirus, toxoplasmosis, and syphilis, are associated with the development of hearing loss, regardless of an individual's HIV status.
In the absence of a vaccine, the medical management of HIV relies on numerous pharmacological interventions including anti-retrovirals drugs designed to target HIV and a variety of other drugs designed to treat OIs. The potential for a drug-induced hearing loss for patients at any stage of HIV-infection is relatively high, particularly since many of the medications prescribed to treat OIs are known to be ototoxic.
For a comprehensive review of HIV/AIDS and the auditory system, the reader is referred to the special issue of Seminars in Hearing (1998), Volume 19, Number 2, Audiological Considerations of HIV and AIDS.

The Lowcountry Down Syndrome Society is a family support group to benefit people with Down syndrome and their families through local leadership, outreach, education and advocacy to champion and celebrate acceptance and inclusion.
The Lowcountry Down Syndrome Society envisions a world in which all people with different abilities have the opportunity to create their own path in order to enhance their quality of life, realize their life aspirations, and become valued members of welcoming communities.
Dear Friends,
I am glad to introduce our family support
group for anyone touched by Down syndrome in the greater
Savannah/ Lowcountry area. Candy and I joined with
other families to start our support group in
We quickly grew and now outreach to families in
the eight surrounding counties. Our meetings are every 4th
Tuesday of the month- typically with a guest speaker and
social time for families to meet and interact with one another.
We encourage people to bring their children. We are an affiliate
of the National
Down Syndrome Society.
We had our first Buddy
Walk - which
was wonderfully successful - at Forsyth Park in downtown
Savannah in October 2006. Nearly 1,600
people came out to support Down syndrome awareness, and 5,000 attended our tenth walk in 2015. Our eleventh Buddy Walk will be October 1,2016.
If you have any questions or needs,
please call or e-mail.
