Sergei Grits, Associated Press
KIEV, Ukraine — As armored vehicles rumbled through downtown Kiev in an ostentatious celebration of Ukraine's independence, pro-Russian rebels who are battling government forces in the east paraded captured soldiers down the besieged streets of Donetsk and displayed charred wreckages of destroyed Ukrainian tanks.
Sunday's rival demonstrations on Ukraine's 23rd anniversary of independence from the Soviet Union underscored the bitter divide in a country already five months into warfare and making plans for potentially years more of tensions.
President Petro Poroshenko, addressing a highly militarized independence rally in Kiev, vowed to defeat the rebels and safeguard Ukraine's border with Russia by sharply raising defense spending for the coming three years. He warned that Ukraine too often in history had been caught by surprise from eastern invasions.
"It is clear that in the foreseeable future there will always, unfortunately, be the threat of war," Poroshenko said. "And we not only have to learn to live with that. We must always be prepared to defend our independence."
The rebels responded with their own show of strength in their stronghold of Donetsk, parading dozens of captured soldiers through the streets as bystanders tossed eggs and bottles at them. The insurgents also dumped battle-scarred Ukrainian military equipment on a central square, a bold rebuke to Kiev's announcement that it plans to strengthen its military.
While public support and mobilization for Kiev's campaign against the separatists is growing in much of the country, resentments fester in much of the east, where civilian casualties and shelling, often from Ukrainian military positions, have become a part of daily life.
In Kiev more than 20,000 people, many waving the country's blue and yellow flags or donning traditional embroidered shirts, watched the parade on Kiev's Independence Square, where months of protests earlier this year ended in the ouster of the country's former pro-Russian president.
Poroshenko announced he would raise military spending by 40 billion hryvnia ($3 billion) through 2017, an effective 50 percent increase from current budget targets.
Ukrainian military leaders have pleaded for extra resources as they face a potentially protracted fight against separatists. In recent weeks, Kiev's troops have scored heavy gains in territory and encircled the east's regional capitals of Luhansk and Donetsk. The United Nations estimates that more than 2,000 civilians have been killed in the fighting since April, a toll that rises almost daily.
Andriy Lysenko, spokesman for the Ukrainian National Security Council, told journalists Sunday that 722 members of Ukraine's armed forces have died in the fighting, with five killed and eight wounded in the past day alone.
In Donetsk, militants paraded captured soldiers, some dressed in military fatigues and others in tattered civilian clothes, through a central square as people in a crowd of several thousand shouted abusive slurs at them.
One visibly agitated man yelled obscenities as he held an infant in one arm. A woman shouted "Hang the fascists from a tree!" Other women rushed at the prisoners, trying to kick and slap them, and were restrained by rebel fighters.
The rebels placed several fire-blackened, shrapnel-shredded Ukrainian military vehicles in Donetsk's main square. Russian nationalist songs blasted from speakers as supporters posed for photos in front of a destroyed tank. The crowd appeared on edge as dozens of fighters gathered in formation, then quickly dispersed at the sound of artillery fire in the distance.
"Today is the so-called independence day of what was Ukraine. And look what has happened to their equipment. This is what has become of Ukraine!" said a pro-Russian rebel fighter who identified herself by her battle name, Nursa, pointing at the remains of a Ukrainian troop transport.

Deal Reached to End Senator's Holdout
WASHINGTON—The Senate Tuesday reached a deal to lift Sen. Jim Bunning's blockade of a bill to extend unemployment benefits, following new moves by Mr. Bunning's fellow Republicans to distance themselves from his tactics.
The agreement allowed Mr. Bunning (R., Ky.), who had complained that the $10 billion bill was not paid for, to offer an amendment that would fund the legislation by rescinding a tax credit for a paper manufacturing byproduct.
His amendment was expected to fail later Tuesday night. After that vote, Mr. Bunning was set to lift his objection to the underlying bill, which was expected to pass.
Mr. Bunning argued that the unemployment bill violated congressional rules requiring new initiatives to be paid for. Democrats said the extension was emergency legislation, exempting it from those rules. The public relations battle appeared to be playing out in the Democrats' favor as more than 100,000 jobless workers saw their unemployment benefits dry up this week.
Democrats also agreed to allow Mr. Bunning to offer two amendments on Wednesday to a longer-term extension of unemployment benefits and other programs. Both amendments are expected to propose ways of paying for that larger measure.
After the deal was reached, Mr. Bunning reiterated his argument that federal spending was out of control.
"If we cannot pay for a bill that all 100 senators support, how can we tell the American people with a straight face that we will ever pay for anything?" he said. "That is what senators say they want, and that is what the American people want."
Democrats said Mr. Bunning had been offered the same deal last week but refused to take it. "The real question in this debate is who we are as a nation," said Sen. Richard Durbin (D., Ill.). "Do we care about these people, these breadwinners who are down on their luck?"
Mr. Durbin objected to Mr. Bunning's proposal to pay for the bill by rescinding a tax credit for "black liquor," a paper manufacturing byproduct, saying this revenue source was already set aside for another measure.
Mr. Bunning had held up the unemployment-benefits extension by objecting to Democrats' "unanimous consent" request to advance the legislation, a routine procedure that requires all senators to go along.
Momentum had been shifting to the Democrats Tuesday as they took the Senate floor to criticize Republicans for preventing the jobless from getting their benefits. GOP leaders, sensing political peril, distanced themselves from Mr. Bunning, and Sen. Susan Collins (R., Maine) urged him to relent, saying she was speaking "on behalf of numerous members of the Republican caucus who have expressed concerns to me."
For Democrats, Mr. Bunning's stance was an unexpected gift that played into their assertion that Republicans have been obstructionist on a range of issues, including health care. To pass health overhaul legislation, Democratic leaders are weighing a tactic designed to get around Senate rules that often require 60 votes to pass anything.
The Bunning dispute involved a bill, passed unanimously by the House, that would extend unemployment insurance benefits and Cobra health-insurance payments for 30 days, until the longer extension kicks in. The measure also would prevent a 21% cut in Medicare payments to doctors and would extend federal subsidies for state transportation projects.
Since the bill stalled, more than 100,000 people stopped getting unemployment checks this week, dozens of transportation projects halted, and doctors who treat Medicare patients saw their reimbursement rates plunge.
Mr. Bunning, who is not seeking re-election, had been showing flashes of his well-known cranky side as tension built. On Monday, he was filmed shouting at an ABC News reporter not to get into a "senators only" elevator. Last week, he swore on the Senate floor as two Democrats criticized his actions.
Republicans said they agreed with Mr. Bunning's complaints, but most did not endorse his tactics. "This is one senator," said Sen. John Cornyn (R., Texas). "This doesn't represent the position of the [Republican] caucus."
Sen. Orrin Hatch (R., Utah) said, "I'm not trying to justify it. I would not do that myself." He added, "I don't revel in anybody suffering without unemployment compensation."
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.), whose relationship with Mr. Bunning is strained, declined to say whether he supported his fellow Kentuckian's actions.
The Senate is currently debating the longer-term extension of unemployment benefits and other programs in a separate bill, which Democrats had hoped to pass by week's end. Now it appears it may take longer, and that delay increased pressure on both parties to pass the short-term extension blocked by Mr. Bunning.

Three weeks into the earnings season for tech stocks, the air on Wall Street is inclement, to say the least. Like the climatological conditions devastating the East Coast, tremendous turmoil is weighing upon tech outfits large and small.
The result is a rather soggy crop of reports, and the mood among investors most foul in response. Some of the reports last week bore evidence of the upheaval in computing that we outlined in this magazine with our cover story two weeks ago ("Bye-Bye, PCs," Oct. 22). But a lot of the actual stock action just showed that tech investors are incredibly skittish these days, likely to punish even winning companies, while bidding up the most mild forms of outperformance.
To recap, in the last three weeks, we've had lackluster results from Intel INTC 0.25884383088869717% Intel Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD34.86 0.09 0.25884383088869717% /Date(1469826000193-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 16636764 AFTER HOURS USD34.8 -0.06 -0.1721170395869191% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1534472 P/E Ratio 16.840579710144926 Market Cap 164608922882.08 Dividend Yield 2.9833620195065977% Rev. per Employee 527624 More quote details and news » (ticker: INTC) and Microsoft MSFT 0.8361501512186443% Microsoft Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD56.68 0.47 0.8361501512186443% /Date(1469826000318-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 28904547 AFTER HOURS USD56.69 0.01 0.017642907551164433% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1654171 P/E Ratio 27.648780487804878 Market Cap 442557442382.812 Dividend Yield 2.5405786873676783% Rev. per Employee 742939 More quote details and news » (MSFT), given the slowdown in personal computer sales; a botched earnings press release by Google (GOOG), marked by further pressure on advertising rates; and sales from Apple AAPL -0.12459267778416715% Apple Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD104.21 -0.13 -0.12459267778416715% /Date(1469826000272-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 26765342 AFTER HOURS USD104.25 0.04 0.03838403224258708% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 968346 P/E Ratio 12.174065420560748 Market Cap 561529626663.413 Dividend Yield 2.1878898378274636% Rev. per Employee 1990500 More quote details and news » (AAPL) that were booed by Wall Street even though they rose by a very handsome 27%.
By my count, half of 98 tech companies reporting this past week missed either revenue estimates, profit estimates or both, while many of those beating estimates did so quite narrowly.
Some of those that at least met profit estimates for the quarter had a lackluster outlook for the current quarter.
Some results were tantalizing, however, as they offer a window into a changing technology landscape. Take chip maker Cirrus Logic CRUS -2.4688879967884385% Cirrus Logic Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD48.59 -1.23 -2.4688879967884385% /Date(1469826000503-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 2317895 AFTER HOURS USD48.5 -0.09 -0.18522329697468615% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 15140 P/E Ratio 30.180124223602483 Market Cap 3035951750.59982 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 887720 More quote details and news » (CRUS), whose shares have more than doubled this year due to the fact it gets more than two-thirds of its revenue selling audio-processing chips for Apple's iPhone and other gadgets.
Although Cirrus easily beat quarterly revenue and earnings-per-share expectations on Wednesday, and projected the current quarter's revenue to beat as well, the shares fell the next day and closed down 19% for the week.
Analysts debated the fact that the company is seeing prices for its chips come under pressure, perhaps in part to meet the need for Apple to make profits in an environment where Apple has already said it is having to be "aggressive" with the prices it charges consumers. The lesson: Product plans are rapidly changing for Apple and everyone else, as they try to have the latest hot tablet or smartphone.
That's leading to surges in product revenue for suppliers like Cirrus—revenue nearly doubled in the latest quarter—but it's also raising fears the post-PC era is one of diminishing returns from a profit perspective.
Sony 6758.TO 8.898305084745763% Sony Corp. ADR U.S.: NYSE USD33.41 2.73 8.898305084745763% /Date(1469826061159-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 3616860 AFTER HOURS USD33.41 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 39512 P/E Ratio 35.03565436241611 Market Cap 40434344834.6348 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 540614 More quote details and news » (SNE) is the poster child, of course, for what happens when you lose your edge. Thursday morning the company missed third-quarter revenue estimates and offered an unexpected net loss per share, as results deteriorated across pretty much every one of its lines of business, from digital cameras to LCD television sets to mobile game players such as the PSP. Sony cut its outlook for the year's growth and now projects a roughly 1.6% increase in revenue, less than the 5% growth it was previously expecting.
The most unsettling reports, though, seemed to come last week from those outfits dependent on capital spending by phone companies, an area where there has been a growing sense that belts are tightening. JDS Uniphase (JDSU), which sells components used in fiber-optic networks, missed revenue expectations on Tuesday for the quarter, but beat on the bottom line by a few pennies.
More troubling than the mere 1% revenue growth was the fact that management said it didn't anticipate the customary "budget flush" this fall, when phone companies spend what's they have left in the kitty, given an "uncertain climate" of macroeconomic conditions.
On the other hand, even those with decent growth were punished. Gartner it 1.365015166835187% Gartner Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD100.25 1.35 1.365015166835187% /Date(1469826121275-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 417214 AFTER HOURS USD100.248 -0.002 -0.00199501246882793% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 18312 P/E Ratio 44.955156950672645 Market Cap 8270825389.86206 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 287099 More quote details and news » (IT), the consulting firm that advises pretty much every tech company on the planet and tells corporations what to buy, saw 12% revenue growth in the third quarter—nothing to sneeze at when corporate IT spending has been lagging this year. The stock, however, fell more than 8% on Friday when the revenue and earnings per share estimates missed analysts' expectations.
It's a rude reception given Gartner's tech-conference business appears to be doing quite well, probably in part because of all the tumult and change mentioned above.
PERHAPS MORE TELLING than the misses were how the shares surged for even the slightest outperformance, as investors chased any silver lining.
Priceline.com PCLN 1.8633587210617601% Priceline Group Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD1350.81 24.71 1.8633587210617601% /Date(1469826000192-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1323369 AFTER HOURS USD1349.1 -1.71 -0.12659071223932308% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 90218 P/E Ratio 26.580283353010625 Market Cap 67052860416.0883 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 614930 More quote details and news » (PCLN), the online travel booker, had been a disappointment when it last reported, back in August, as growth in flights and hotels was hampered by the economic morass in Europe. But it was all smiles Friday morning, as Priceline's shares surged 10% after the company beat revenue estimates by $60 million, a little under 4%.
Chirped Stephen Ju of Credit Suisse, who recommends the shares, the company stands to do OK because "as long as the macroeconomic landscape in Europe does not deteriorate, our estimates have an upward bias." Indeed, if only.
FUNNY ENOUGH, the only thing that really looked like a silver lining was the ray of hope bestowed by Microsoft. Chief executive Steve Ballmer said last week the company's sales of its newest operating system, Windows 8, are running at better than the pace of the prior version since the software was put on sale Oct. 26.
Microsoft shares rose 5% for the week.
Microsoft sold four million copies in the first weekend, it said, and it had already said two weeks ago that "pre-sales" in the September quarter to computer makers were up 40% versus the rate for Windows 7 three years earlier.
Now all the PC makers have to do is sell the hardware for which they bought all those licenses.
We'll see what happens with PC sales, and sales of Microsoft's tablet computer, the Surface, as the holidays unfold. As a product and a technology, Windows 8 has yet to show it's got consumer cachet, but it might yet.
Bear in mind that, at this time in 2009, stripped-down, ultra-cheap computers called netbooks made up 11% of PC sales, giving sales of Windows 7 a nice lift right out of the gate. The netbook has faded from view since then.
This year's netbook is a smartphone or a tablet, a dirt-cheap computing device that is all many people need. And most of those are running something other than Windows.

RACV Great Victorian Bike Ride – a rolling bike festival
Experience Victoria as you never have before at the RACV Great Victorian Bike Ride, where you'll ride through Victoria's beautiful scenery from the Grampians to the Great Ocean Road. The annual bike ride has been running for 30 years and is quite possibly the best-kept secret in local travel, for two unbeatable reasons: you can experience great scenery by day and a party atmosphere by night. Riders can opt to do a three, five or nine-day ride across Victoria. The three-day option (188km) runs along the coast from Apollo Bay, Bellbrae, Queenscliff to Geelong from December 1-4. The five-day course (339km) runs from the historic town of Halls Gap and winds down to the coast past the Twelve Apostles to finish at Apollo Bay from November 26 to December 1. For riders who are in it for the long haul, there's the nine-day ride from Halls Gap to Geelong (527km) from November 26 to December 4. This event is open to riders of all ages (children included), though a reasonable level of fitness is expected. While the rides will cover plenty of distance, full support and service from the RACV Great Victorian Bike Ride will ensure no one gets left behind. Everything is included in the ticket price: the support team will provide three meals a day, toilets, hot showers at the campsites and luggage transfers. Don't have a tent? There are rental options available. It's not all about the riding either – once you get off the saddle, the evenings will take on a festival atmosphere with live mu
George's Bar
A quirky theme does not a great bar make – but at George's Bar in Fitzroy, you're guaranteed both. Late last year, Fitzroy awoke to a huge George Costanza mural and a sign on the door instructing patrons to "BE MORE LIKE GEORGE". A flurry of media interest ensued (Jason Alexander himself even tweeted about it), but the real test was whether the Johnston Street bar would stand the test of time. Thankfully, it has. George's Bar has built a following around its chilled-out attitude and lack of pretension from friendly bar staff. They'll happily make you a top-notch Old Fashioned or pour you a Little Creatures on tap. If you're hungry, don't go past the toasties: the classic Art Vandelay is a fat stack of double cheese, or if you're feeling adventurous, go for the Dealership: a combo of Twix, maple butter and pretzels. George's Bar also does a great trivia night on Wednesdays and comedy night on Thursdays. Fridays and Saturdays are all about the local DJs. Naturally, photos of Costanza are placed around the walls – but whether you're a Seinfeld fan or not, George's Bar is the local you've been looking for.

Ingolf Elster Christensen
Ingolf Elster Christensen (28 March 1872 in Førde – 3 May 1943 in Førde) was a Norwegian jurist, military officer, county governor and politician for the Conservative Party.
Christensen was a lawyer and military officer, and was appointed governor of the County of Northern Bergenhus in 1910 and held the position until 1929 (in 1918 the county was renamed Sogn og Fjordane). He was subsequently county governor of Oslo and Akershus from 1929 to 1941.
He was Minister of Justice in 1926, Minister of Defense 1926-1928, Member of Parliament 1922-1924 and 1925-1927 and was a member of the Executive Board of the Conservative Party.
After the German invasion of Norway in 1940 was he elected Chairman of the new Administrative Council that was put up by the Norwegian Supreme Court and functioned from April to September 1940. The council held negotiations with the Germans and Christensen was regarded by the Germans as a possible leader of a suggested Riksråd that should govern Norway.[1] The negotiations however failed and came to an end in September 1940. He then returned to his office as county governor until 1941 when he was replaced by a member of Nasjonal Samling. After that he withdrew to his family farm and did not play a political role any longer.

Gustav, please go away!
Published: Saturday, August 30, 2008 at 7:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, August 30, 2008 at 7:23 p.m.
Good morning, readers. It appears that you have not yet been swept away by Hurricane Gustav. If you are reading this in your own home, in the actual newspaper, on the date it was published, you are either very fortunate or brave to the point of foolishness.
On Friday morning, when this was written, the path of the storm with the Swedish name was still uncertain, but forecasters said the Terrebonne coast was a likely point of landfall, probably Monday night, with winds more than 100 miles per hour and likely a storm surge.
Advice? Those who are still in Terrebonne today should pay close attention to emergency officials and cooperate as much as possible at this late date.
If this column had been scheduled for publication earlier, say Thursday, I would have urged skipping work and school Friday, boarding up and taking the family somewhere far inland to enjoy a long Labor Day weekend out of harms way.
It would have been a good time to visit Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Texas or Tennessee, on your way past the motels that were already full or reserved that early in advance of the storm.
Better system needed: Since it appears that neither prayer or science will ever rid the Gulf Coast of hurricanes completely, it would be nice if the storm schedule for the season were published far in advance, like Mardi Gras, so we could plan other events and activities to avoid conflicts.
Seriously, emergency management at all levels needs to work on one small slice of very convoluted scheduling language.
Say what? I have a copy of the Louisiana Citizen Awareness & Disaster Evacuation Guide, the 2008 Southwest edition. It contains a map with Louisiana south of the Intracoastal Waterway in bright red. Notes about Phased Evacuation printed below the map explain that red designates Phase I, where evacuation should begin 50 hours before onset of storm winds. Phase II (mapped orange), above the the Intracoastal and west of the Mississippi, evacuates 40 hours before onset...
Say when? Imagine you were the manager, mayor, parish president or governor deciding when to announce mandatory evacuation. You somehow must determine the moment of onset of tropical storm winds and tell folks to get out 40 or 50 hours before that.
That would be like your doctor telling you to start your medication exactly 24 hours before your headache begins, or a columnist writing about a storm well before its effects are known.
All three processes involve a little forecasting and a lot of guesswork. Have some compassion on us all.
God help us: Gustav, reports Wikipedia, means staff of the gods, and has been used previously in naming five tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean. Lets hope this Gustav does not become famous at our expense.
Annual Coin Show: Word from Harry Hellier last week that the Bayou Country Coin Club plans its annual coin show for Oct. 18, at the Ramada Inn in Houma. Details later, after we know how the storm treats the area.
Responding? Contact Bill Ellzey at 381-6256, 876-5638, firstname.lastname@example.com or c/o The Courier, P.O. Box 2717, Houma, LA 70361.

An innovative food initiative in west Georgia looks to expand after its successful trial run over the summer.
Several groups hope to expand the community garden project to provide food for charitable organizations.
Organizer Mike Gilroy is project director for a
sustainable-agriculture educational program called The Growers School.
Gilroy and other members of the West Georgia Community Food
Initiative worked to create the Buffalo Creek Community Food
By the time all of the summer crops had been harvested, the garden yielded more than 1,000 pounds of fresh produce for the Carroll County Emergency Shelter.
Shelter director Martha Boyce says the fresh produce the shelter received provided great relief over the summer to those in need.

City Wherein We Tell You How to Vote
posted by October 17 at 16:25 PMon
Our election endorsements just came out. You can read the full lineup (and full-length versions of the endorsements excerpted below) here, but here are a few of the highlights.
Prop. 1 (Roads and Transit): Vote No.
Rather than letting compromised politicians tell us what's possible, the people should tell the leaders what's needed: more light rail without massive roads expansion. It's time to flex some urban muscle. Seattle voters shouldn't have to fund roads on the Eastside in order to get light rail.
Seattle City Council Position 1: Vote Jean Godden.
She supported a tax on commercial parking that now helps pay for transportation maintenance around the city. She stood up for cyclists when the powerful industrial lobby wanted to eliminate the planned "missing link" from the Burke- Gilman Trail in Ballard, and she says she'll fight to restore a bike lane on Stone Way. And she has fought hard for her budget priorities.
Seattle City Council Position 3: Vote Venus Velazquez
We believe Venus Velázquez, a public-affairs consultant whom Steinbrueck has endorsed, will be a forceful, independent, and effective voice on the council. Her social-service advocacy on behalf of clients such as CASA Latina, her no-nonsense approach to negotiating issues, and her firm commitment to social justice and working-class people convince us she has what it takes to fill Steinbrueck's shoes.
Seattle City Council Position 7: Vote Tim Burgess: His past work for right-wing groups like (anti-gay, anti-woman) Concerned Women for America and (anti-sex, anti-birth control) Food for the Hungry gives the apostate progressives on the SECB the willies. [But] He's in the right place on some of our most important issues, including nightlife and the environment. Sealing the deal: Lightweight incumbent David Dellaa seat-warmer who never met an environmental policy he likedsimply isn't intellectually fit to be on the council.

'Havana Requiem' is a legal thriller with spice
"Havana Requiem: a Legal Thriller" (Farrar, Straus and Giroux), by Paul Goldstein: Attorney and novelist Paul Goldstein manages the enviable feat of writing a compelling legal thriller without ever putting his characters in the less-than-thrilling venue of a courtroom.
Instead, the action in "Havana Requiem" takes place in Cuba's capital in a plot permeated with dangerous, steamy intrigue. The setting fits for a story that turns on notions of freedom of expression and freedom to dream.

Diabetes Basics
In this article
Types of Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes occurs because the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas (called beta cells) are destroyed by the immune system. People with type 1 diabetes produce no insulin and must use insulin injections to control their blood sugar.
Type 1 diabetes most commonly starts in people under the age of 20, but may occur at any age.
Unlike people with type 1 diabetes, people with type 2 diabetes produce insulin. However, the insulin their pancreas secretes is either not enough or the body is resistant to the insulin. When there isn't enough insulin or the insulin is not used as it should be, glucose can't get into the body's cells.
Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes, affecting almost 18 million Americans. While most of these cases can be prevented, it remains for adults the leading cause of diabetes-related complications such as blindness, non-traumatic amputations, and chronic kidney failure requiring dialysis. Type 2 diabetes usually occurs in people over age 40 who are overweight, but can occur in people who are not overweight. Sometimes referred to as "adult-onset diabetes," type 2 diabetes has started to appear more often in children because of the rise in obesity in young people.
Some people can manage their type 2 diabetes by controlling their weight, watching their diet, and exercising regularly. Others may also need to take a pill that helps their body use insulin better, or take insulin injections.
Often, doctors are able to detect the likelihood of type 2 diabetes before the condition actually occurs. Commonly referred to as pre-diabetes, this condition occurs when a person's blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough for a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes.

Turning to the Net to Lift the Shadows of Cancer's Dark Days
Published: July 9, 1998
(Page 2 of 2)
The personal sites also provide more descriptive details about some of the more bizarre side effects. Without finding the informally named Mike's Lymphoma Resource Pages -- an incredible, well-organized descriptive list run by Mike Barela, comprising hundreds of links -- I might have screamed when I saw red urine after my first chemotherapy treatment. I would not have known that one drug I was taking, Adriamycin, can cause urine to turn red for hours or days. More directly, a list called the Hodgkin's Disease Mailing List linked me to people who have the disease or have family members with it; others on the list went into remission as long as decades ago and stay on the list to offer encouragement and information.
A few treatments into the process, I decided to set up my own Web page, just as many others had done. Putting my health out there for anyone to read might seem strange, but a Web page would make it easier for those who cared to find out about my progress without feeling compelled to call or write. It would make it easier for me, too, as I was not sure how much E-mail I would be able to respond to, and it would help comfort those particularly concerned.
I had first thought that I might keep a real diary on the Web, but I realized that there were plenty of issues -- fertility, for example -- that I didn't want to share with the world. Other issues, like the experience and joy of having an intravenous catheter and port put in, were easier to share.
Some friends have said that they have used the links I provided to go out and research the disease themselves to assuage their own fears about the disease. By checking Web logs, I see that a number of people search for ''lymphatic cancer'' at Alta Vista or another search engine and wind up at my site.
I didn't end up posting daily, as I didn't always have enough news. (''Feeling great! Walked three miles! Ate lunch!'') I had some bad days, the worst of which was after the surgery for my intravenous catheter and port about a month after starting chemotherapy. I had the surgery and chemotherapy on Friday, and I was injected with GCSF (granulocyte colony stimulating factor) on the following Monday to improve my white-cell counts. Feeling depressed for the first time since getting the diagnosis, I put off writing about it until I'd bounced back.
Posting my own site also resulted in more interesting phone conversations: the people who called were up-to-the-minute on my status, and we talked of other things. The most draining task after the diagnosis has been explaining the disease to every new person who finds out about my condition. The number of people who see a bald head and say, ''What, you in chemo or something?'' is staggeringly high.
After a few treatments, my health began to improve. My immune system stopped trying to throttle me, and the miracle drug Zofran almost entirely suppressed the chemotherapy-induced nausea. At that point, the Hodgkin's list started to freak me out. It had too many posts from folks with terrible side effects, extreme cases or just no hope. Even reading about other people's chemotherapy could nauseate me, despite the drugs I had at hand. After just a few weeks, I had to unsubscribe from the list, planning to return after chemotherapy to put something back into the kitty I had drawn from.
By April, I was updating my health page less frequently, as the news was uniformly good. The lymphoma had started retreating almost immediately after chemotherapy began and I felt better and better. X-rays taken at 6 weeks and 12 weeks into treatment confirmed what I was already feeling. Fatigue never really hit me, although my mental abilities had turned a little sluggish. A Bugs Bunny marathon on Comedy Central struck me as a bit funnier than it would have a few months before. (Posts to the Hodgkin's mailing list assure me that this effect is temporary.)
In late May, an M.R.I. scan showed no traces of the disease; I was in full remission, right on schedule. When I padded out of the magnetic resonance imaging machine in my socks and a hospital gown and the imaging technician pinned up the image of my insides -- my cancer-free insides -- I could point to the liver without any hesitation.

The indefatigable Texas A&M Sports Information Department has worked tirelessly to compile a list of notable football facts and figures following the Aggies' loss at Missouri Saturday.
MIGHTY MARTELLUS --- Tight end Martellus Bennett became the first Aggie with multiple touchdown catches in a game since he did it against Baylor last season. Bennett grabbed a pair of touchdowns against the Tigers with a 6-yarder and a 42-yarder while reeling in four catches for 63 yards. Bennett also extended his school record for consecutive games with at least one catch to 28 against the Tigers.
PAYDIRT FOR J-TRAIN --- Big back Jorvorskie Lane's two-yard touchdown run in the third quarter made him A&M's all-time leading scorer among non-placekickers. The six-pointer brought Lane's three-year, 34-game total to 272 points.
Lane also matched the school record for career rushing touchdowns and total touchdowns with 44 (with Darren Lewis, 1987-90) and 45 (with Lewis and Rodney Thomas, 1991-94), respectively.
Lane's score gave him 104 points in 2007, which makes him the first Aggie to score 100 points in two seasons (Lane had 114 in 2006).
Today's touchdown was his 17th of the season, which is just two off the school record of 19 originally set by Joel Hunt in 1927 and matched by Lane last season.
PRODUCTIVE GOODSON --- Speed back Mike Goodson turned in his most productive game of the season against Missouri. The sophomore gained 48 rushing yards on team-high 15 carries, and matched his career high with five catches for 67.
The 60-yard connection from quarterback Stephen McGee to wide receiver Kerry Franks was the Aggies' longest catch of the year.
McGee threw for a season-high 247 yards on 18-of-28 passing, and produced 282 yards of total offense against the Tigers.
The Aggies scored on a safety when Missouri's deep snap on a punt attempt sailed over the punter's head. It was the second safety of the safety scored by the Aggies (Red Bryant sack against Fresno State). The Aggies returned the safety favor when McGee was sacked in the endzone late in the fourth quarter. It was the first safety by the Aggies since last year's Missouri game when a bad shotgun snap exchange resulted in a two-pointer.
Making their first starts of the season were linebackers Anthony Lewis and Matt Featherston, who joined senior Misi Tupe in the Aggies' 3-3-5 defense. Normal linebacker starter Mark Dodge did not make the trip due to the death of his maternal grandmother. It was Lewis' first career start, while it was Featherston's second start of his career (Citadel, 2006).
Senior offensive guard Chris Yoder, who started the first seven games of the season, saw his first action since the Texas Tech game. Yoder missed the last three games due to an injury suffered against the Red Raiders.
MISCELLANEOUS --- Game captains were Chris Alexander, Kerry Franks, Devin Gregg and Kirk Elder . The Aggies won the toss and deferred to the second half. +++ For the 13th straight game, junior Nick LaMantia was the 12th Man. It was the 22nd 12th Man start of LaMantia's career, which puts him just one away from matching the school record of 23 starts set by John Ray from 2003-05.
