Saving on the Cost of Diabetes Care (cont.)
She says she hopes to reduce her costs by getting off diabetes medication altogether, and managing her blood sugar by diet and exercise alone. For people who are diagnosed early in the course of the disease, that is sometimes possible.
Cost of Diabetes: Strategies for Saving Money
Even if she must stay on medication, Phillips is cutting her cost of diabetes by taking a combination diabetes drug. Many people with type 2 diabetes take more than one medicine. "Two or three is not uncommon," says Paul Jellinger, MD, president of the American College of Endocrinology.
Avandamet, which Phillips takes, combines the drugs metformin and rosiglitazone, which work by decreasing the amount of sugar the liver produces or by making the body more sensitive to insulin.
If someone with insurance were to take the two drugs individually, they would have to pay a co-payment for each one, doubling their cost. Those paying full retail prices out of pocket could benefit even more from a combination drug. For example, at one pharmacy, 60 tablets of Avandamet sell for $62, while 60 tablets each of the brand-name versions of metformin and rosiglitazone together cost $166.
Other examples of combination drugs are Metaglip (glipizide plus metformin) and Glucovance (glyburide plus metformin). "And there are more coming," Jellinger tells WebMD.
Considering generic drugs can cut your cost of diabetes care, sometimes significantly. Retail prices for generics are generally lower. Also, when a generic version of a drug becomes available, sometimes health plans will charge a higher co-pay for the name-brand version or may stop covering it altogether. The diabetes drugs available as generics are:
"Wherever possible, go generic," James Gavin, MD, chairman of the National Diabetes Education Program, tells WebMD.
The cost of medications isn't the only cost involved in diabetes care, however. Phillips expects to pay $80 a month for test strips when her insurance runs out. She says she has seen test strips on eBay go for much less, and she says she would be willing to give that a try. "As long as it's a sealed, unexpired box, I'd buy it."
Gavin doesn't explicitly encourage buying on eBay, but he says people should bargain hunt and comparison shop like they would for anything else.
Diabetes Costs: Paying for the Insulin Pump
Diabetes is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States and is estimated to cost the nation $132 billion annually. Given the numbers, 46 states have mandated that insurers must cover not only diabetes medicines, but also supplies and equipment.

Edina's Top 5 restaurants at 50th and France
Edina's 50th and France has a few new eateries in the works that we're excited about, including Mozza Mia and Cocina del Barrio, which are anticipated to debut later this year. (Will Edinians really do "dorky"?) In the meantime, here are some of our favorite spots to eat at the tony intersection:
5. Edina Grill The Edina outpost is the swankest of the Blue Plate company's eateries, outfitted with both plenty of pretty sidewalk seating and a full liquor license. While we like many of the Blue Plate lunch and dinner standards, like the tempura green beans and the meatloaf sandwich, we tend to prefer it as a breakfast spot for one main reason: the Killer Banana Waffles.
4. Salut Paris meets pizza, pasta, and all the rest at this Parasole crowd pleaser. Fresh oysters, steak frites, and escargot for the Francophiles, pepperoni for the kids, and all of it tends to be respectably prepared. Cake eaters will love the monstrous desserts, like the ice cream sundae that comes in a martini glass the size of your head. There's also often a buzzing bar crowd consisting mostly of the big blinged and bleached blonde.
3. Beaujo's This low-profile, cozy wine bar serves homey soups, salads, sandwiches and just a couple of entrees. It places more of an emphasis on wine (available by the bottle, glass, or, helpfully, the half-glass) and beer (short but well-curated list of taps and bottles) and a relaxing mood.
2. D'Amico & Sons The D'Amico's have been anchoring this intersection for years and years--now that Tejas is gone and Pearson's looks to be on its last legs, they'll be considered the old-timers. But a lot of D'Amico classics have staying power: the three-salad combo plates, the soups, the sandwiches, the fancy desserts, and, of course, the bottomless glass of house wine.
Daniel Corrigan
1. Raku This newcomer brings sushi to a neighborhood that's been waiting for it for decades. But there's far more than raw fish, udon noodles, and gyoza on the menu. Raku serves several Western and fusion entrees, such as grilled lamb chops with goat cheese and, one of our faves, a crab-topped salmon dressed with a wasabi/sake/soy sauce blend and a side of Latin guacamole.

I'm having trouble understanding why, in strict mode, a syntax error occurs when
delete is used on an unqualified identifier.
In most cases, it makes sense... if you are declaring variables in the usual way with the
var keyword, and then trying to use
delete on them, in non-strict mode it would silently fail, so it makes sense for strict mode to fail with an error in those cases.
However, there are cases where you can't delete identifiers that are qualified:
(function() {
// "use strict";
var obj = Object.create({}, { bloop: { configurable: false } });
delete obj.bloop; // throws TypeError in strict mode, silently fails in non-strict.
console.log('bloop' in obj); // true
Strict mode must do a runtime check here, because a TypeError is thrown when this is encountered. There are also cases where you can successfully delete unqualified identifiers in non-strict mode...
// "use strict";
window.bar = 6;
console.log(typeof bar); // number
delete bar; // works in non-strict, syntax error in strict!
console.log(typeof bar); // undefined
In fact, to my understanding, whether or not you can delete things (in non-strict mode) depends on the internal
[[Configurable]] property, and has nothing to do with qualified identifiers. As far as I can tell, there is no way in strict mode to delete non-global variables that (as properties of the local VO) are configurable:
(function() {
// "use strict";
eval('var foo = 5;');
console.log(typeof foo); // number
delete foo; // works in non-strict, SyntaxError in strict.
console.log(typeof foo); // undefined
So, my question is, what's the point of throwing a SyntaxError when using
delete on an unqualified identifier, when the TypeError would throw anyway if the property is not configurable? This seems like an unnecessary restriction, and in some cases there doesn't seem to be any workaround other than not using strict mode (third example). Can anyone explain the motivation behind this decision?
Update: I just realized that I was overlooking the fact that direct
eval calls have their own scope in strict mode, instead of the calling function's scope, so in the third example
foo would not be defined under strict mode. Anyway, the runtime check would still catch this, but it raises a side question: Is there no way to have configurable local variables in strict mode, as we do with
eval'd variable declarations in non-strict? AFAIK that was one of the few legitimate uses of

2002 Toyota Celica GT-S 2dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl 6M)
This is perhaps the most fun car I have ever owned. It's pretty, quick, and can out corner almost anything else on the road. Who would have thought that on ramps could be so much fun! This was a solid car for the first two years. I had no problem whatsoever. Then, at 190,000 the first motor blew. At 240,000 miles I am on my third motor and second transmission. Replacement part are expensive when you can find what you need. Luckily, all that breaks is the motor and tranny! That said, I drive a lot of miles. I have had two American cars that hit 300k miles with less trouble. Great car, but not if the miles are high. This car is a fling, not a marriage! For most, a great car,
Looks, cornering, precise steering, gas mileage, and most of all, FUN.
Bring it back, but without the VVT1 and make the motor and transmission. live up to the legendary corolla for endurance. You will have a great car that does not die!
My Celica treated me so well. Handled like a dream, fantastic gas mileage (always around 30 mpg), not a single mechanical issue in the six years I owned it (bought it used in 2004 with 30k). Very smooth manual transmission. Yeah, there's no backseat, but what do you expect? It's not meant to be a family car. With decent tires, it can handle a Kansas winter, which is saying a lot for a 2400 lb car. I got in a bad front-impact accident and totaled mine, and the crush zones were phenomenal. Everything behind the firewall was completely untouched. For such a small car, I felt very safe in it. Not to mention sexy, because it's a dang good looking car.
SO fun to drive, easy to park, incredibly reliable. Great gas mileage. Easy access to all controls from the driver's seat. Turns heads. More than adequate power for a four cylinder.
Acoustics weren't that great. Cup holder location is inconvenient, especially with a stick. Low visibility out the back window. Road noise (but that's probably because it was so lightweight).
I originally drove this car to rule it out. Instead I found the car I always wanted. Fun to drive, corners on rails. I love watching other cars try to keep up with me in the twisties. I've done a couple of trips of 14+ hours straight driving and the seats stay comfortable. Back seats are almost useless, but who cares. Car has a lot of road noise, but that's probably how they keep it at 2400 lbs. I always get at least 30 mpg and I've gotten over 40 on a couple of long trips. I did replace the accessory belt at 30,000 because of noise, but no other problems. My wife doesn't like this car because it's low and requires you to climb up and out of it.
Handling. Engine is well matched to car. Basic brakes are excellent. Mileage.
Bring it back.
Celica is my wife's car prior 2 us meeting and we've purchased 2 newer cars since marrying. Having kids I've tired to sell this 2door however after 2 years of spending $ on the newer cars, this celica has the most miles but 20% of the cost of maintaining the other cars. It's underpowered, doesn't have enough torque, and has a very disappointing rt=rear blind spot, horrible rear seats, uncomfortable for tall drivers, slopping dash where u can't put anything on. I found other small cars better and faster like the Mazda 3, Corolla, Vibe. Pros are it's nimble, good looking, good gas mileage, easy to maintain, awesome on curves.
Looks, nimbleness, racing pedals, big trunk for sml car, ability to drive manual from steering wheel controls
fix horrible rt/rear blind spot, no small car should have blind spot
I love this car. This is my first Celica, and I couldn't be happier. I have now own it for a little over three years, and still love to drive it. Fuel economy is very good, about 30 mpg in town. I do a lot of city driving in Atlanta, and also a lot of interstate driving... long trips. I have no complaints about this vehicle. At 73,000 miles all I have had to do is change the oil and tires. I have had no incidences of mechanical problems or otherwise. It has a very classic look, mine has the rear spoiler, but none of the trendy optional ground effects, looks like a classic raodster. After 3 years people still say they love this car.
Love the dashboard design. I think it looks like a manta ray or something like that, definitely a unique design. I also like that the power door and window controls are on the center console, very convenient design. All controls are easy to access and use while driving.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Mar 01st, 2007
Running Time: 107
Director: Roy Karch
Company: Sex-Z Pictures
Cast: Katie Plays, Charlotte Stokely, Ethan Cage, Buster Good, Janie Lynn, Seth Dickens, Jack Venice, Vanessa Lynn, Daryn Darby, Jasmine Tame, Andrew Andretti, Alec Knight, Jack Lawrence, Alexa Lynn
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
The first noticeable thing about Cum Eating Teens 5 is that there are quite a few Lynns – three to be exact (and two Jacks, making a full house of Lynns over Jacks.). And though the Lynns are pretty fucking hot, the best thing about this Roy Karch title has nothing to do with them. In fact, the best two scenes feaure Charlotte Stokely and Jasmine Tame.
Tame is hot in her little miniskirt, sliding a pink dildo into her pussy from behind, all the while sucking on a cock lollipop. She looks even better when she switches out that lollipop, and starts sucking on a great big dick.
Stokely, on the other hand, just looks fantastic, no matter what she's doing. Whether it be pumping her pussy with a vibe, choking down a cock, or getting plowed on a kitchen island, this freckled slut looks great doing it.
These two scenes are the reason this release is better than average.
Retailing: Make note of Jasmine and Charlotte.

Sticker shock leads to new downtown district plan
MONTPELIER The city is looking for an additional funding source for its new downtown improvement district after learning that commercial building owners would otherwise face a heavier financial burden for the district than was projected.
The City Council plans to hold the first reading of a proposed ordinance establishing the district tonight.
Voters in March approved a one-time $75,000 allocation for the district based on a special assessment on the owners of all downtown buildings that are entirely or partly in commercial use.
But there are still a few snags in the funding to work out.
We had a lot of volunteers from Montpelier Alive who went out and made good faith estimates on what it would cost, said City Manager William Fraser. But in the end it was going to cost businesses more than what was anticipated, and we want to address that.
Fraser said that as the city began looking at property values in the district, it became clear the entire $75,000 could not be assessed against owners without increasing their tax rate by 10 cents. Advocates of establishing the district had offered a rate of 4.5 cents in their publicity materials.
Now the city is looking to two revenue sources for the $75,000. The first $40,000 will be raised through assessing a 5 cent tax on commercially used property throughout the district.
Fraser did not have a final figure on the number of buildings that would affect.
As for the $35,000 balance, the city hopes to use an expected increase in the states payment in lieu of taxes. Should that additional PILOT funding not reach $35,000, Montpelier Alive has said it will make up the shortfall this year out of the groups own resources.
The state makes payments in lieu of taxes to communities statewide where it owns significant nontaxable property.
The city expects to receive at least $756,843 in PILOT funding this year that will go directly into the general fund. Under the proposal being put before the City Council, the next $35,000 in PILOT would go toward the downtown improvement district.
Fraser said there is no guarantee the additional $35,000 would become available. But he said he expected at least some, if not all, of the additional downtown funding could come through PILOT this year.
The $75,000, which could start being utilized in early July, is intended to improve the downtown area physically, through amenities such as banners, benches and parklets, and to develop and support longer-range plans to tout the city through website development and marketing.
The city will form a committee to oversee the spending of the money, and Montpelier Alive will manage the enterprise.
Fraser added that in the future the district budget proposal will be considered and adopted along with the rest of the city budget, but that it would probably remain a separate ballot item. It is also expected that after several years of funding, the district could be included in the citys charter.MORE IN Central VermontBARRE Joan Black came for the desserts, Shirley Farnham came for the music, Leon Gendron came...

Street Gem runs away with Monmouth Park feature
Updated: June 23, 2013, 6:57 PM ETAssociated Press
OCEANPORT, N.J. -- Street Gem took command down the backstretch and drew clear late to win the $60,000 Revidere Stakes at Monmouth Park on Sunday, beating Coarsegold by 1 1/4 lengths.
Trained by Kathleen O'Connell and ridden by Daniel Coa, the 3-year-old filly ran the mile over a firm turf course in 1:43 1/5 and returned $12.40, $5.40 and $4.40. It was the fourth win in nine career starts for Street Gem, who has now earned $82,940.
Coarsegold paid $5.20 and $3.60, while Alydorable was placed third after Cat's Holiday was disqualified for interference with that rival in the stretch. Alydorable returned $4.40.

We stayed on the Bambooboat for 5 days in Feb 2014 in the wheelhouse apartment.
The boat is amazing and the space is used so well to create a perfect sized apartment, it feels very homely, with everything you need for a short break- the carpentry skills used to create the apartment is very impressive and the apartment is nice and warm with the central heating.
It was a perfect way to experience Amsterdam for a nice break, and although we had visited the city before, this time we had the freedom to properly explore as the location was ideal and not far away from anything with Amsterdam Central station just a 5 minute walk from the boat.
The view from the boat is great and it's nice to be on the water and experience the life of those who are fortunate enough to live like this.
Han is a great host and lives on the same boat, he also has bicycles that he is happy to rent @ only 5euro a day, which we had great fun riding all around the city and seeing the sights.
We would love to stay again and hope that you enjoy it as much as we did if you do.

Fighting for the Soul of St. Andrews
With Venerable, Dilapidated Hamilton Hall Sold, One Man Laments What Might Have Been
For one of golf's most famous buildings, Hamilton Hall in St. Andrews, Scotland, is looking pretty shabby these days. Its red sandstone façade is still impressive, especially when lit by the late-day sun. The building looms over the 18th green of the celebrated Old Course and, more pointedly, over the clubhouse of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club across the street. (Thomas Hamilton, who had Jewish roots, commissioned the grand structure in the 1890s, as a hotel, after being rejected for membership by the R&A.) But peek around back and you'll find broken windows, boarded-up doors and blight. Inside, rubble mounts past the wainscots of rooms with ornate ceilings, dangling wires and invaluable views of the world's most famous links.
In 2004, with great expectations, Rhode Island developer David Wasserman purchased Hamilton Hall for £20 million ($32.5 million) from the University of St. Andrews, which had been using it for student housing since 1949. His St. Andrews Grand was to have been a super-deluxe timeshare; Phil Mickelson, among others, committed millions of dollars for a share in one of the 23 proposed apartments. But not enough buyers came forward to make a go of the project, and then the recession hit. This spring the troubled Bank of Scotland, which had loaned Mr. Wasserman millions of pounds, repossessed the building and put it up for auction. The bidding closed Aug. 14.
One bid, of £10.1 million, came from a group of Glasgow investors with ties to an Englishman named Richard Wax, a golf-industry consultant who now lives in Paris. He worked on many of designer Robert Trent Jones II's European projects and more recently played a role in getting the acclaimed Kingsbarns course built near St. Andrews. Mr. Wax started trying to pry Hamilton Hall away from the University of St. Andrews in the mid-1990s. His vision calls not for apartments but for creating a "golf-industry nerve center" and a "clubhouse for the world."
"It is an incredibly powerful building," Mr. Wax said in a telephone interview. "Every time golfers on the Old Course photograph themselves standing on the Swilcan Bridge, Hamilton Hall is in the background. It's the most recognizable building in St. Andrews, the home of golf. So in our view it should be used somehow to send a signal to the world about the spirit and accessibility of the game, not as trophy apartments for the super-rich who probably won't spend more than a week or two a year in St. Andrews at best."
The Royal & Ancient clubhouse next door, he pointed out, is hung with signs that say "Members Only," and those members can only be male. This despite the notably egalitarian tradition of golf in Scotland. "Is this the message that golf and St. Andrews want the world to see?" Mr. Wax said.
The specifics of how Mr. Wax and his group would deploy the six-story, 45,000-square-foot building while achieving a positive return on investment is unclear, especially since estimates for the additional costs of refurbishment range to £25 million and higher. The nearby British Golf Museum precludes using the space for permanent historical exhibits, but Mr. Wax mentioned staging golf lectures, public appearances and cinema as one possibility. The building could house a visitors center, golf-related retail and headquarters for international golf organizations and consulting businesses. Given Hamilton Hall's iconic stature, Mr. Wax said, its highest value might be as a "virtual base" from which to offer golf services online.
There might even be a few floors of hotel rooms, with amateurs competing in tournaments on the Old Course receiving special access the way amateurs playing in the Masters are allowed to stay in the Crow's Nest at Augusta National.
In the course of what he estimates as more than 100 visits to St. Andrews over the last 15 years, Mr. Wax has acquired many fans. "Richard is a lovely man, passionate about golf, and his vision is lovely, too," said Kevin Keenan, general manager of the Macdonald Rusacks Hotel, which stretches along the Old Course's 18th fairway. Understandably, most townspeople would prefer a use for Hamilton Hall that generates more street life and buzz than elite apartments would, especially during the dreary winter months, but anything would be better than the status quo. "What we don't want," said Ted Brocklebank, the member of Scottish Parliament whose district encompasses St. Andrews, "is what we've seen the last five years, which is an American real-estate speculator sitting on the building because he lacks the sums required to make his dreams come true."
Unfortunately for Mr. Wax's bid, this summer's auction attracted the stated interest of several of the world's most fanatical golf billionaires—men who certainly do have the sums required to make their dreams come true. They include Dermot Desmond and J.P. McManus of Ireland, who are partners in the Sandy Lane golf resort in Barbados, where Tiger Woods was married, and have other sporting interests; Donald Trump, whose name graces a stable of high-profile courses in the U.S. and who is controversially attempting to push through a £1 billion golf-and-real-estate project in northern Scotland; and American faucet magnate Herb Kohler, who owns Whistling Straits in Wisconsin, the site of next year's PGA Championship.
Since bids are sealed, it's impossible to know who in the end followed through with offers, but nine credible bids were received by the deadline, according to Jason Hogg of Jones Lang LaSalle, the agent running the auction for Bank of Scotland, and the top bidder, whose name he said he could not reveal, has now signed a legally binding contract. "He has until mid-November to complete his due diligence," Mr. Hogg said.
Everyone I spoke to believes the winning bid, perhaps on the order of £14 million or £15 million, was made by Mr. Kohler. He already owns the Old Course Hotel and the Duke's golf course in St. Andrews, and was seen earlier this month inspecting the property with a group of advisors during the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship at the Old Course. A spokesman said the Kohler team had no information to share about the project at this time.
Mr. Wax, not surprisingly, is galled. "For Mr. Kohler to come in here with his money and make off with that building would be a tragedy for golf, and I don't use the word lightly," he said. But as Mr. Brocklebank, the Scottish MP, pointed out, it's unclear what Mr. Kohler's intentions are—if indeed he is the winning bidder. "Mr. Kohler has a good reputation in this town and has poured a lot of money into the Old Course Hotel," he said. "Hamilton Hall is a tall building. It's conceivable that some aspects of Mr. Wax's vision could be combined." If not, he added, there are other buildings nearby that might work for Mr. Wax nearly as well.

Re: uncooperative, overbearing....
I read George's post, nodded and moved on. Then I saw Erik's which definately caused me to focus on a select few parts of George's original post.
It is the role of the senior student in a pairing to define the appropriate level of resistance. In kata it usually is enough that tori has something to work with, can understand the mechanics, and most importantly understand where he is going wrong. Too little resistance is unsatsfying, too much is frustrating and ultimately unproductive. Usually uke is reasonably close so no problem but sometimes he is wrong either because of inexperience, a bad guess or (and I think this is what the post is all about) because they are an ass.
Now being a bit of an ass has its place too - we call it randori. However, in this case nage has a whole range of options and since the distinction between tori and uke disappears both can play the same game.
My point is simple - resistance even in kata training has its place.

Released: Sep 01st, 2003
Running Time: 135
Director: Rocco Siffredi
Cast: Sylvia (I), David Perry, Jonny Montana, Sila, Ivette, Nacho Vidal, Lolita (I), Franco Roccaforte, Suzan, Csilla, Sebastian Barrio, Estelle, Rocco Siffredi, Piroska, Sharon (I), Renata (I)
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Sex
Evil Angel buffs, Rocco fans.
To paraphrase a line from Orgazmo - "Are you Rocco?"
'Cause if you were Rocco, you wouldn't be reading about sex. You'd be fucking some girl whose parents were card-carrying Communists on a location somewhere in what was a member nation of the Warsaw Pact. Though the big W.W. three is now just Tom Clancy's wet dream, Rocco's way of liberating the former oppressed masses is through an über-schlong and a video camera.
Ever the humanitarian, Rocco Siffredi lends a helping hand to Estelle, after the blonde exchanges words with David Perry and storms out of a photo shoot. Estelle, it seems, doesn't like sex, but Rocco points out, as he fondles her oversized tits, that nature has been very good to her. And like nature, Rocco shows Estelle that he can be very good to her and fucks her doggie until Suzan cuts in. The three come back into the photo shoot, where Leslie Taylor and Sebastian Barrio take turns on Sharon, Suzan and a newly-liberated Estelle. Hot stuff.
Lolita and Sylvia play in the snow in miniskirts (go figure) while Franco Roccaforte watches. An excellent girl/boy/girl follows and like the other scenes on the disc, is worth the price of admission.
Blonde beauty Csilla fucks Nacho (or, more appropriately, Nacho fucks Csilla), while Sila, also credited as Sheila Rossi, goes to town with Rocco lookalike Gabriel Zero. Rocco wails on Piroska in a drained pool and a swing. The scene evolves into a group scene, inclusive of d.p. and lots of anal.
Renata, Ivetta and Jonny Montana put on a show as a crowd gathers, but the three finish up their fucking in a hotel room. Good stuff, and a good closer for the disc.
The transfer quality for the disc title is good, with footage not included in the scenes.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

It was 1981, during his junior year at college, Kelley Litsch was about to go on an adventure of a lifetime. Starting with a prayer at the side of his bed of his dorm room in April, he gave God complete control over his summer. Within minutes of the prayer, God started moving and did not stop.
This adventure involved the occupation as a door-to-door bible salesman, but life-long lessons emerged. His daily forays into the hills of Virginia and North Carolina introduced him to a new way of life; a life of daily dependence upon God including miracles, close calls with death, and meeting some of the finest people on earth, and some not so fine.
This book gives great examples of faith, constant prayer, leadership, and tenacity. Mainly it tells the story of what God can do with a willing believer using that person's personality.
Kelley Litsch was raised on a farm near Lockney, Texas and moved to Altus, Oklahoma as a teenager when both parents became schoolteachers. He graduated with a Psychology degree from Oklahoma State University in 1982. He has worked in the property and casualty insurance field since graduation. He has taught as well as led small groups in church for the past three decades. He and wife Lisa live outside of Lubbock, Texas and have two children and two grandchildren.

Accelerated Corrosion Test with Operation Simulation of All-Aluminum Microchannel Heat Exchangers
Date: 2016-5
Creator: Vaughan, Haydn
Description: The HVAC&R industry is looking to transition from copper-aluminum heat exchangers to all-aluminum microchannel technology. The want for the transition stemmed from seeing the performance improvement of all-aluminum microchannel radiators in the automotive industry. Applications differ between the two industries; therefore, applying this technology for HVAC&R use must be validated. Research towards operating modes of an all-aluminum heat exchanger in a defined corrosive environment will provide the industry with a better understanding of heat exchanger design and heat exchanger material selection. The worth in this is preventing overdesign and producing more efficient heat exchangers. Furthermore, ASHRAE members and the corrosion community will find value in a defined corrosion system and corrosion test procedure. The information gained through past research has progressed assessment of material performance; however, the methods improperly simulate and expedite natural weathering. The most common method being used is the ASTM (American Society of Testing Materials) Sea Water Acetic Acid Test. The research discussed in this paper was focused on improving a standard corrosion system by implementing system modifications to simulate heat exchanger operation while performing a modified wet-dry cyclic test (e.g. ASTM G85 Annex 5). The goal is to produce results that are more representative of natural ...

Analytical Model for Lateral Deflection in Cold-formed Steel Framed Shear Walls with Steel Sheathing
Date: December 2014
Creator: Yousof, Mohamad
Description: An analytical model for lateral deflection in cold-formed steel shear walls sheathed with steel is developed in this research. The model is based on the four factors: fastener displacement, steel sheet deformation, and hold-down deformation, which are from the effective strip concept and a complexity factor, which accounts for the additional influential factors not considered in the previous three terms. The model uses design equations based on the actual material and mechanical properties of the shear wall. Furthermore, the model accounts for aggressive and conservative designers by predicting deflection at different shear strength degrees.

Analytical Model of Cold-formed Steel Framed Shear Wall with Steel Sheet and Wood-based Sheathing
Date: May 2013
Creator: Yanagi, Noritsugu
Description: The cold-formed steel framed shear walls with steel sheets and wood-based sheathing are both code approved lateral force resisting system in light-framed construction. In the United States, the current design approach for cold-formed steel shear walls is capacity-based and developed from full-scale tests. The available design provisions provide nominal shear strength for only limited wall configurations. This research focused on the development of analytical models of cold-formed steel framed shear walls with steel sheet and wood-based sheathing to predict the nominal shear strength of the walls at their ultimate capacity level. Effective strip model was developed to predict the nominal shear strength of cold-formed steel framed steel sheet shear walls. The proposed design approach is based on a tension field action of the sheathing, shear capacity of sheathing-to-framing fastener connections, fastener spacing, wall aspect ratio, and material properties. A total of 142 full scale test data was used to verify the proposed design method and the supporting design equations. The proposed design approach shows consistent agreement with the test results and the AISI published nominal strength values. Simplified nominal strength model was developed to predict the nominal shear strength of cold-formed steel framed wood-based panel shear walls. The nominal shear ...

Bearing Strength of Cold Formed Steel Bolted Connections in Trusses
Date: May 2012
Creator: Panyanouvong, Mark
Description: The existing design provision in North American Specification for Cold- Formed Steel Structural Member (AISI S100) for the bearing strength of bolted connections were developed from tests on bolted connected sheets which were restrained by bolt nut and head with or without washers. However, in the cold-formed assemblies, particularly in trusses, the single bolt goes through both sides of the connected sections, making the connected sheets on each side unrestrained. the warping of the unrestrained sheet may reduce the bearing strength of the bolted connection. This research investigates the behavior and strength of bearing failure in bolted connections in cold-formed steel trusses. Tensile tests were conducted on trusses connections with various material thicknesses. It was found that the AISI S100 works well for thick connections but provides unconservative predictions for thin materials. Based on the experimental results, a modified bearing strength method is proposed for calculating the bearing strength of bolted truss connections. the proposed method can be used for any cold-formed steel connections with unrestrained sheet.

Characterization of Boron Nitride Thin Films on Silicon (100) Wafer.
Date: August 2007
Creator: Maranon, Walter
Description: Cubic boron nitride (cBN) thin films offer attractive mechanical and electrical properties. The synthesis of cBN films have been deposited using both physical and chemical vapor deposition methods, which generate internal residual, stresses that result in delamination of the film from substrates. Boron nitride films were deposited using electron beam evaporation without bias voltage and nitrogen bombardment (to reduce stresses) were characterize using FTIR, XRD, SEM, EDS, TEM, and AFM techniques. In addition, a pin-on-disk tribological test was used to measure coefficient of friction. Results indicated that samples deposited at 400°C contained higher cubic phase of BN compared to those films deposited at room temperature. A BN film containing cubic phase deposited at 400°C for 2 hours showed 0.1 friction coefficient.

Characterization of Iron Oxide Deposits Formed at Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station
Date: May 2003
Creator: Namduri, Haritha
Description: The presence of deposits leading to corrosion of the steam generator (SG) systems is a major contributor to operation and maintenance cost of pressurized water reactor (PWR) plants. Formation and transport of corrosion products formed due to the presence of impurities, metallic oxides and cations in the secondary side of the SG units result in formation of deposits. This research deals with the characterization of deposit samples collected from the two SG units (unit 1 and unit 2) at Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station (CPSES). X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) techniques have been used for studying the compositional and structural properties of iron oxides formed in the secondary side of unit 1 and unit 2. Magnetite (Fe3O4) was found to be predominant in samples from unit 1 and maghemite (g-Fe2O3) was found to be the dominant phase in case of unit 2. An attempt has been made to customize FTIR technique for analyzing different iron oxide phases present in the deposits of PWR-SG systems.

Cold-Formed Steel Bolted Connections Using Oversized and Slotted Holes without Washers
Date: August 2010
Creator: Xu, Ke
Description: In cold-formed steel (CFS) construction, bolted connections without washers for either oversized or slotted holes may significantly expedite the installation process and lower the cost. However, the North American Specification (AISI S100, 2007) for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members requires washers to be installed in bolted connections with oversized or slotted holes. A research project (Phase 1) sponsored by American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) was recently completed at the University of North Texas (UNT) that investigated the performance and strength of bolted CFS connections with oversized and slotted holes without using washers. The research presented in this thesis is the Phase 2 project in which the bolted CFS connections were studied in a broader respect in terms of the failure mechanism, the material thickness, and the hole configurations. Single shear and double shear connections without washers using oversized holes, oversized combined with standard or slotted holes were experimentally examined. Combined with Phase 1 results, the Phase 2 gives a comprehensive evaluation of the behavior and strength of bolted CFS connections with oversized and slotted holes without using washers. Revisions to the existing AISI North American Specification requirements for bolted connections are proposed to account for the reduction ...

Cold-Formed Steel Bolted Connections without Washers on Oversized and Slotted Holes
Date: May 2009
Creator: Sheerah, Ibraheem
Description: The use of the cold-formed steel sheet bolted connections without washers is so significant; however, the North American Specifications for the Design of Cold Formed Steel Structural Members, NASPEC, doesn't provide provisions for such connections. The bearing failure of sheet and the shear failure of sheet were considered in this study. For the sheet shear strength, it was found that the NASPEC (2007) design provisions can be used for oversized holes in both single and double shear configurations and for the double shear connections on short slotted holes. For the sheet bearing strength, a new design method was proposed to be used for low and high ductile steel sheets. The method was compared with the NASPEC and the University of Waterloo approach. Washers were still required for single shear connections on short slotted holes. Besides, connections using ASTM A325 bolts yielded higher bearing strength than connections using ASTM A307 bolts.

Cold-formed Steel Framed Shear Wall Sheathed with Corrugated Sheet Steel
Date: May 2013
Creator: Yu, Guowang
Description: Incombustibility is one important advantage of the sheet steel sheathed shear wall over wood panel sheathed shear wall. Compared to shear wall sheathed with plywood and OSB panel, shear wall sheathed with flat sheet steel behaved lower shear strength. Although shear wall sheathed with corrugated sheet steel exhibited high nominal strength and high stiffness, the shear wall usually behaved lower ductility resulting from brittle failure at the connection between the sheathing to frames. This research is aimed at developing modifications on the corrugated sheathing to improve the ductility of the shear wall as well as derive practical response modification factor by establishing correct relationship between ductility factor ? and response modification factor R. Totally 21 monotonic and cyclic full-scale shear wall tests were conducted during the winter break in 2012 by the author in NUCONSTEEL Materials Testing Laboratory in the University of North Texas. The research investigated nineteen 8 ft. × 4 ft. shear walls with 68 mil frames and 27 mil corrugation sheet steel in 11 configurations and two more shear walls sheathed with 6/17-in.OSB and 15/32-in. plywood respectively for comparison. The shear walls, which were in some special cutting arrangement patterns, performed better under lateral load conditions according ...

Comparative Analysis and Implementation of High Data Rate Wireless Sensor Network Simulation Frameworks
Date: December 2015
Creator: Laguduva Rajaram, Madhupreetha
Description: This thesis focuses on developing a high data rate wireless sensor network framework that could be integrated with hardware prototypes to monitor structural health of buildings. In order to better understand the wireless sensor network architecture and its consideration in structural health monitoring, a detailed literature review on wireless sensor networks has been carried out. Through research, it was found that there are numerous simulation software packages available for wireless sensor network simulation. One suitable software was selected for modelling the framework. Research showed that Matlab/Simulink was the most suitable environment, and as a result, a wireless sensor network framework was designed in Matlab/Simulink. Further, the thesis illustrates modeling of a simple accelerometer sensor, such as those used in wireless sensor networks in Matlab/Simulink using a mathematical description. Finally, the framework operation is demonstrated with 10 nodes, and data integrity is analyzed with cyclic redundancy check and transmission error rate calculations.

Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Evotec is partnering with the Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI) to identify compounds that prevent or slow down the loss of motor neurons, which is characteristic of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The collaboration, dubbed "CureMN" (CureMotorNeuron) aims to leverage human motor neuron assays based on ALS patient-derived induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells as well as Evotec's drug discovery infrastructure and expertise to identify compounds that will have therapeutic value against the disease that Lou Gehrig made famous.
The iPS cells in question were developed by Lee Rubin, Ph.D., HSCI principal faculty member and professor in the department of stem cell and regenerative biology at Harvard, and Kevin Eggan, Ph.D., early career scientist at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, HSCI principal faculty member, and professor in the department of stem cell and regenerative biology at Harvard.
"Kevin and Lee have made significant contributions to our understanding of the underlying pathology of motor neuron diseases," said Cord Dohrmann, Ph.D., CSO of Evotec, in a statement. "Their laboratories have developed a large array of ALS patient-derived motor neuron models that allow screening of diseased human cells in culture—an approach that is sometimes referred to as a 'clinical trial in a dish'. Our intention is to systematically screen for new mechanisms, targets, and compounds that have the potential to be developed into new products that will modify and ideally halt the progression of ALS and potentially other motor neuron diseases."
This agreement marks the third collaboration between Evotec and Harvard Stem Cell Institute scientists, and the fourth with Harvard scientists. Back in March of 2011, Evotec and Harvard forged a beta cell regeneration alliance dubbed CureBeta, and in January of 2012 they started the CureNephron project with Brigham and Women's Hospital aimed at discovering and developing biomarkers and treatments for kidney disease. Also, in May of this year, Evotec and Harvard teamed up to discover and develop novel antibacterial agents based on a target family involved in bacterial cell wall biosynthesis that reportedly are highly validated.

8 tips to hide holiday weight
Published: Tuesday, December 14, 2010 at 11:14 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 14, 2010 at 11:14 a.m.
From Christmas cookies to eggnog cocktails, it's often hard to resist the tasty treats of the holidays. It's no surprise that people gain weight this time of year. Instead of being embarrassed by the annual weight gain, here are tips and suggestions that will trick your friends and family into thinking you've been hitting the gym instead of the eggnog.
Tip 1: Avoid bold, bright prints and opt for dark solid shades. A loud print dress or blouse only draws more attention to the added pounds. A black three-quarter sleeve wrap dress is an ideal style to wear when you're feeling extra curvy. The asymmetrical wrap style will shrink your mid-section and hide the most unflattering part of your arms. If you like wearing prints, choose a top with a print featured around the neckline or vertically down the center of the top.
Tip 2: Spanx! Whether you're a size 2 or a 12, these amazing body shapers will instantly create a streamlined silhouette as well as improve your posture.
Tip 3: Sweep your hair up and away from your face. Pulling your hair back will accentuate your jaw line and slenderize your face.
Tip 4: Wear an elegant pair of cascading earrings. Statement earrings will draw the attention toward your face and away from your body.
Tip 5: V-neck tops are the most slimming shirt option. A modest V-neck line showcases your décolleté, and again, will draw the attention toward the face.
Tip 6: Elongate your mid-section with a featherweight scarf. The long scarf will lengthen your torso and camouflage your tummy.
Tip 7: Invest in a classic nude pump. A simple neutral shoe makes your legs look long and lean.
Tip 8: Avoid voluminous skirts. You may be reluctant to squeeze into a black pencil skirt but a full skirt will instantly add weight to your waist and hips.

13 problems related to starter have been reported for the 2011 Hyundai Sonata.
Did some research and from what I've been reading my 2011 Hyundai Sonata GLS 2. 4l is affected by the "starter lever" recall. I went to turn my car on the other day and it wouldn't turn on and just made a hissing sound as I turned the key. Went to the auto parts store to have my starter tested and it failed on the diagnostic right away. I need my started fixed and replaced so my car doesn't die on the freeway! had to turn my key and try start the car at least 10 times before it would crank over.
While driving 45mph I experience my steering wheel shaking and it leaves the vehicle hard to control and it pulls to the right. I then started to experience my car not starting after sitting for not even 5 minutes and this has been occurring for 2 days. I took my car to the local dealership and was advised that I needed to replace the starter lever and steering coupler. Both of these are common defects of this model and has been recalled in the past. I called Hyundai today and was told that I am now responsible for the cost of the repairs regardless of what happened in the past. The repairs are going to cost me a little over $600. 00 when the parts are plastic and wouldn't cost more than $20. 00. A complaint has been filed with the bbb as well. . . This is a major safety issue on this vehicle and the manufacture needs to do a better job at building these parts.
Car would not start. Towed. Starter lever failed. This is known issue as stated by tow driver, Hyundai rep, and hundreds of owners complaining of this exact issue on internet. Occurred just out of warranty.
11/20/steering column shaft. 5/18/brake switch. Car will not start or shift out of gear. C1513 code. Internal short in brake switch. 3/26/brake switch. Car will not start. C1513 code. Internal short in brake switch. Shift lever knob repl. 8/5/brake switch. Recall. Repl left front axle assembly. 7/7/inhib switch-check engine light on. Car is shifting hard, especially from p-r & then to d. Jolting sensation like someone hit from behind. Code p0705-transm range sensor malf. 10/1/ brake tube. Shift lever cable. 10/16/code p0106: map sensor. Flexible coupling-clicking sound & wobbling when turning. Told me I was over 70k. Indicated I was under 70k when I made this appt. Mgr waived cost. 2/26/starter-would not start-towed. 5/15/rear passenger brake light-bulb burned out & melted into socket. Tail lamp also melted. Tech was able to heat & reshape socket. 8/3/brake light switch-car dead after work. Internal malfunction & caused brake lights to stay on. Hesitation during acceleration. Declined accurate auto to look further as car is still under warranty so I will take it to hub. It improved. 8/25/brake light switch. Severe hesitation-almost rear-ended –felt like it would stall (tech noticed). Informed accurate the car was still under warranty so I will take it to hub. Hesitation improved. 8/27/diag testing-hub waived cost of diag testing-no codes found. Unable to duplicate hesitation. Hesitation occurred when leaving. 9/21/brake light switch-brake lights on. Drive side brake light is out. Hesitation worse-felt as if it would stall! driver side brake lamp bulb. Driver side tail lamp overheated & warped. Eventually replace tail lamp assembly. Declined for accurate to do further testing on the hesitation as the car was still under warranty so I will take it back to hub. Hesitation improved. To date, still does not run smooth.
On a couple of separate incidents, the gear disappear. I was driving on d, the gear was on d, but after several miles the gear disappear. I pulled over to park the car, I put the car on reverse, but the gear was not visible. I turned the car off and turned it back on, I could see the gear then. This has happened a couple of times. A couple of weeks after this happened, the car did not start at all. The car ended up starting after it was towed to the dealership. Apart from this issue I've been at the dealership for several other issues. Starter, axles, the key ignition switch, sensors, etc. It's been very time consuming and expensive.
Vehicle stopped functioning at 60 mph on an interstate on a Friday night. Had to coast to side of road dodging other cars. Tried to restart vehicle with no luck. Electrical started going haywire. Interior lights started flashing as well as dashboard lights. Smoke was coming from hood of car. Within 20 minutes a road ranger checked the status of the car and said all fluids looked good. Battery tested good. But was unable to get vehicle to start. Two hours later it was towed to a Hyundai dealership. Was told it appears to be the engine but was told they replaced the starter first because they thought it was that. Finally, told it was the engine and it would need to be replaced. Thankfully it is still under warranty. It's last service was the middle of April. They told me that the steering is possibly going on it. They reported a knocking noise. Nothing has been done to steering as of yet but now that they will have car for up to 3 weeks will probably have them check that too especially after reading many of the complaints on this and other websites.
Experienced issue with my Hyundai Sonata 2011 not starting and heard a clicking noise. Towed vehicle to local Hyundai dealership (where purchased). Service report on April 21,2015 indicated starter fork had failed. Cost of labor was $112. 50 and plastic fork $8. 13. Plus towing cost this is needs to be investigated for root cause and corrective actions. Per service department this was not covered under drivetrain warranty. This part should not be failing after only 77,213 miles. The long term reliability of this vehicle is a concern with rising and mounting labor cost. How long will this fork last? how did this part pass the Hyundai development and product validation automotive testing? or is this a manufacturing defect issue after release ? this is another known issue that is being reported by Sonata 2011 owners and not being addressed it is poor when the towing service person knew what the issue was. As he has towed several Sonatas with same issue.
Tl- the contact owns a 2011 Hyundai Sonata. The contact mentioned that the push button start failed to work and that the dealer replaced the starter once before the contact owned the vehicle and when the failure was experienced the the contact had the starter replaced by a repair shop but the failure continued. The push button start randomly failed to work. The vehicle was to be taken back to the repair shop for further inspection, diagnosis and repair. The contact was included in NHTSA campaign number: 15v568000 (engine) but has not received notification of the recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 51174. Parts distribution disconnect. Dyd.
In February 2014 we started having issues with the car not starting at all. We would put our foot on the break and press the button and it just sits there. I have been stranded at many locations until it decided to crank. I called rick case in roswell GA and was told to bring it in if it does it again. Now the next thing that started to happen was the transmission lights p, r, n and d would start flashing and go blank as we were driving then you could feel the car loose power. I was told by the dealership to pull over and restart the car so this went on for a bit until it finally quit starting and sat in the garage for the tow truck who had to use a screw driver and it slipped into r easily because it wont start. Went to the dealership they could not get it started and kept it for many days saying everything is fine we think the starter was going and we had bought an extended warranty and they told us it does not cover that so we had to come up with $552,77. I am not working now due to cushing disease so we are down to one car. My husband had to get rides to work daily. I also found it very odd that the manager made us sign a form stating we would not bring this car back with the same issue again. The car is still acting up so we are not sure what to do. We do like the car and would trade it in but we are upside down and the payments would be so much. We feel we do need to get our money back because I truly believe it was not the starter. Please advise on what to do with a car we are now scared to drive. My son is 16 and this would be his car but not know. Thank you they gave me case#6773211.
I bought a 2011 Hyundai Sonata in March of 2010 brand new. I have had problems with the tires had to be replaced after year two, and when they were being replaced they said that the air valve on the tire was corroded when I went to Hyundai to get the part replaced they said that it wasn't corroded it was broke off because there wan't a cap on it and it got wet. So, they said that I had to buy a new one, and they would send it up under the warranty and I would be refunded that did not happen. After that my push start would not start when I pushed it. I would have to push it about three times and then it would finally start. I took it to Hyundai, and had it replaced not under warranty any more is what they told me. So I paid the 287. 00 for it. After I got it home and went into grab something came back out and it did it again. Took it back to gateway Hyundai in richmond to have it fixed and they said it needed a nother starter. I didn't have to pay for the part but I was going to have to pay for the labor. Nope didn't get it fixed. I would just start it three times instead. Then I had to replace the brakes last year 2012 because it wore only on one side, and now the engine blew a rod. They claimed that it was because of not having enough oil in it, but then told me I had a quart to much of oil. Now really does that make any sense? this is absolutely ridiculous. Then they told me I could trade it in for a new Hyundai but would have to put $5000. 00 down on it which is convienantly the amount they quoted me to have my engine fixed because they said it wasn't under warranty because I hadn't kept all my receipts for oil changes for the past three years.
Vehicle engine was shut off in a construction zone, waiting for line to move. Engine (push button start) would not engage, thus causing major traffic issues. Everything done according to manual trying to get starter to engage. Engine starter finally engaged after setting for sometime. This is the third occurrence of this same problem. Suspect linkage between brake sensor and start button. Could be a serious safety issue.
Tl- the contact owns a 2011 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start when attempting to turn the vehicle on. Also the contact stated that the brake lights and head lights failed without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician diagnosed the stop brake lamp and starter motor needed to be replaced. No repairs were made to the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 68,000. Sr.
2011 Hyundai Sonata se 16 days old, 2018 miles: car has an "intermittent starting problem". It has left my wife stranded at work 3 times, two of those times in a deserted parking lot after hours, once at the dealer when I was called to pick it up. It has now been out of service for 18. 5 days since April 26, 2010. It has been taken to the dealer four times since April 26, 2010 and remains there at this time. Dealer has confirmed battery is always at full charge, they have changed both starter system relays, replaced the starter, checked transmission neutral position sensors. Safety issue: leaving a female driver in an unsafe and unprotected situation. Due to the non starting issue.
