Douglas County Libraries became the fourth-largest library system in Colorado, and ranked third in Colorado for materials checkout (circulation). 5.5 million items were checked out in 2006. Total Number of Library Patrons climbed to 76,221.
Records showed at least 79% of all Douglas County households had at least one library card.
Douglas County Libraries unveiled the new Neighborhood Library service model for smaller libraries in the county. Neighborhood Libraries offer an intimate space with a concentrated scope of services, including multiple copies of the most popular fiction, nonfiction, magazines and audiovisual materials; comfortable and flexible living room space for leisure reading; fast technology; a fanciful and stimulating children's area; and motivated, attentive staff waiting to give personal customer service to every patron. The new Neighborhood Library at Roxborough opened to a crowd of over 2500 on January 28, with over 300 new library cards issued on Grand Opening Day alone. The newly-renovated Neighborhood Library at Lone Tree reopened to the public on October 14.
Sue Meacham, a long-time library volunteer and advocate, passed away on April 21. Meacham was renowned for her enduring dedication to Douglas County Libraries, including ten years of unpaid service on the Board of Trustees from 1993 to 2003 and long-time volunteer work in the library district's Technical Services department. The quiet reading room at the Philip S. Miller was renamed to honor Meacham.
The Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Parker, Philip S. Miller and Roxborough libraries were equipped with an RFID (radio frequency identification) system that allows multiple books to be checked in or out simultaneously, freeing up staff for more personalized and attentive customer service, and making items available for checkout much more quickly. A multitude of volunteers helped place the RFID tags on over 600,000 items across the library district.
Nemesys, of Englewood, won both the People's Choice and Judge's Panel awards at the 5th Annual Teen Battle of the Bands in Lone Tree. The 5th Annual Shakespeare Festival culminated with free "punked-out" performances of The Comedy of Errors set in 1970s London.
Douglas County Libraries placed seventh in the Nation (out of 329 libraries) on Hennen's American Public Library Ratings (HAPLR) scale. Hennen also released an overall ranking system for 1999-2006; Douglas County Libraries ranked third in the Nation overall for the ten-year span.

Should the surviving Boston Marathon bomber be given the death penalty?
My understanding is that McVeigh went quick because McVeigh wanted to go quick. Without the Perp willingly waiving all the rights to appeals, it will take a long time to finally give him the needle.

I agree...when he's found guilty, he should be sentenced and put to death asap. McVeigh waived appeals.

Well it may not be that easy. If he is guilty as charged. What if he plea bargains? He could agree to a lesser offense and get life in prison. It is going to be up to the prosecutor. With all the publicity in this case it would not surprise me if that is what happens. They may figure out that it would be almost impossible to sit a non-prejudiced jury that has not been tainted with all the media coverage not to mention evidence that may have been tainted which may not be permissable and the prosecutor will go for a sure thing and let him plea for a lesser charge and automatically get life in prison. Either way the kids life is pretty much over. Only if he gets life his living expense is going to be on the taxpayers.

Just alone from the aftermath of the bombing...this kid is history and he don't have a prayer of not be found guilty. The evidence is so over whelming his fate is SEALED. He will never see the light of day again. Let me tell you this, I hope they do plea bargain. He pleads innocent to all these charges do you know what it will cost the taxpayers to try this case? I am hoping he pleas.

Even this guy is to be presumed to be innocent until proven guilty. Whether we like it or not. See what I am saying about trying to find an impartial jury? It is going to months and months just to sit a jury. God help us if we ever let public opinion based on media revelations convict people. Face it Watchdog all any of us really know is what the media has told us.

Watchdog It takes physical evidence to convict someone. That is why a lot of people walk because they don't have enough physical evidence to convict them. And it is going to take people that are willing to only look at that physical evidence to bring about that conviction. That is why I say it is going to be hard to find a jury. Most of America believe this guy is guilty already just based on what the media has told them.

If he wants a trial he will get one. With 4 aggravated murder counts, hundreds of felonious assault counts, numerous weapons violations, and anything else that gets brought up, the presentation of evidence will be made like items up for grabs at a fast paced auction. Especially since the defense attorneys will know trying to challenge the credibility of the evidence will not only be futile, but will also drag out their time (which could be spent more wisely on other unrelated matters) from a week or two to several months. The defense attorneys will know that their primary function will be to try to sway the jury in the end to give life in prison rather than a death sentence.

"Even this guy is to be presumed to be innocent until proven guilty."
concerned I know exactly what you are getting at in this case. Under the constitution of the United States we are innocent until proven guilty in a court room of law. I hear what you are saying. As for the media circus, nothing we can do about it. Unless of course, we are willing to give up "freedom of speech". That is about the only way the media will be stopped. There is no fix for this without the constitution being violated one way or another.
They will find a jury for him. You have to remember there are already plenty of sympathizers out there churning away for his cause. He is getting preferential treatment now. Let me ask you this? How many Americans accused of crime laying up in hospital have a court system brought to their bedside? He got this. They have already charged him, read him his rights everybody got bent out of shape over. A judge went to his bedside.

First, there are a number of reasons this person could be here illegally. We don't know which one, henceforth, we don't know what proceedings there may be to have him removed. They don't just come with a paddy wagon, pick someone up and drive them to the border line individually.

With the Boston marathon bombing suspect in a prison hospital, investigators are pushing forward both in the U.S. and abroad to piece together the myriad details of a plot that killed three people and injured more than 260.
FBI agents picked through a landfill near the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, where 19-year-old suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, was a sophomore. FBI spokesman Jim Martin would not say what investigators were looking for.
A federal law enforcement official not authorized to speak on the record about the investigation told The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity on Friday that the FBI was gathering evidence regarding "everything imaginable." (And, before the justice department stopped them)!

The owner of a salon targeted by a gunman in October thanked the community Wednesday for an outpouring of support.
Azana Salon and Spa owner Tami Gemmell spoke of the traumatic event Wednesday night.
"The love and support we have gotten from this community has been overwhelming," Gemmell said.
Wearing a ribbon urging an end to domestic violence, Gemmell said her employees can't wait to get back inside.
"They can't wait -- just can't wait -- to be under one roof again," Gemmell said. "It is unimaginable the tragedy that went on here. People cannot relate. Nobody can. They are just overwhelmed by that. They want to help."
Gemmell was out of the country on Oct. 21, when authorities said Radcliffe Haughton barreled into her salon intent on killing his wife, Zina Daniel, days after slashing her tires in the salon's parking lot.
"I had no idea," Gemmell said.
Gemmell said she was unaware of what Daniel was going through.
"I have contact often with the injured and the families," Gemmell said. "I have spoken to Cary's mom."
Cary Roebuck and Maelyn Lind were killed along with Daniel. Their loss has inspired four fundraisers by more than 100 salons and other businesses.
"I think a lot of domestic violence goes unnoticed," Gemmell said.
Gemmell has more than 60 employees. She said they've been compensated while the salon is readied for reopening on Dec. 1.

4 'Classic' Albums That Get More Praise Than They Deserve
#2. Neil Young -- Harvest
Easy, hippies, I'm not saying Harvest is a bad album. You can refrain from pointing your pitchforks at me and continue using them to plant hemp or whatever the hell. What I am saying, though, is that when it comes to Neil Young albums, Harvest is not even close to being the career high point that a lot of people make it out to be.
Yes, it features some of his most timeless songs ("Old Man," "Heart of Gold," "The Needle and the Damage Done") and even features two of my personal favorite Neil Young tunes ("Out on the Weekend" and the title track). When considering Harvest as a complete package, though, things get a lot less classic. Its main downfall is that practically every song that features anything more than Neil, drums, and a few guitars is an overwrought nightmare like this:
That song is called "There's a World," and if you aren't able to watch the video and have never heard it, just know that it sounds like the kind of orchestral bullshit you only hear if you watch movie credits in their entirety. And Harvest is full of that shit. Another great example is the absurdly sexist and just all-around corny "A Man Needs a Maid":
Even the racist-baiting classic "Alabama" plays like a needlessly dramatic version of the far superior "Southern Man," which he released a few years later.
In spite of all this, Harvest remains Neil Young's best-selling album and gets the most attention from casual fans and critics. Because it's always a good barometer of how wrong people are about things, I should mention that Rolling Stone lists Harvest at No. 82 on the list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
Meanwhile, Nobody Talks About: On the Beach
It's not just Harvest that gets more respect than it deserves, but Neil Young's entire early '70s output kind of pales in comparison to the insane hot streak he went on in the second half of the decade. It started with 1974's On the Beach, an album so obscure in the big scheme of Neil Young's back catalog that it remained unavailable on CD for decades.
That wrong was righted in 2003, and the world is a better place for it. What makes On the Beach such a great album is that it's a rare example of Neil Young's two vastly different sides working together almost perfectly. All of the flubbed notes and general sloppiness of unhinged albums like Tonight's the Night are on full display, but like the best moments on Harvest, the songs are some of the prettiest and most accessible of Neil Young's entire career. Case in point, have a listen to "See the Sky About to Rain":
That's a good song, people. Really good. But you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone outside of the most devoted Neil Young fans who would even think to mention it when discussing his "best" work. That's a shame, because from front to back, On the Beach is one of the most consistently great albums of Neil Young's entire career. Keep it on heavy rotation in your Volkswagen van and you'll close every patchouli-drenched prospect that comes your way.
#1. John Lennon -- Double Fantasy
If John Lennon's final studio effort, Double Fantasy, taught us anything, it's that being shot and killed mere weeks after your album's release date is a great way to deflect criticism. I won't bother mincing words: Double Fantasy is a mediocre album at best, and that's if I'm being super-duper forgiving. If you think otherwise, you either regard the Beatles too highly to be honest with yourself or you're Marion Gladstone. In either case, shut up, you're wrong.
For one thing, can we discuss for a second that half the songs are performed by Yoko Ono? When has that ever been listed as a positive attribute of anything music related?
Heads up, that's far and away her best contribution to the album. When you strip all of her filler away, you're left with seven songs performed by John Lennon. Sure, most of them are good songs, but that's still not a classic album's worth of music, right?
On top of that, the songs are anomalies in the Lennon catalog that, as my friend Harry Knuckles pointed out in a recent column, are basically replicas of the "silly love song" formula that Paul McCartney rode to success while Lennon mocked him mercilessly for it.
Gladstone says that was a brave move on Lennon's part. I say it's a sure sign that his music would have fucking sucked in the '80s like everyone else's. It's a shame we'll never get to find out for sure who's right, but for the record, I am.
Meanwhile, Nobody Talks About: Ringo
It's widely known and accepted that the undisputed solo album champion of the Beatles' first few years living apart was George Harrison. If anyone ever tells you there is a better Beatles solo album than All Things Must Pass, congratulations, you've probably just met Paul McCartney. Everyone else knows better.
That said, if there was a silver medal for early '70s solo albums by the Beatles, it should go to Ringo Starr.
That's right, I said it: Ringo Motherfucking Starr. That's his legal name, and he earned it in my book by way of two goddamn incredible singles that led up to an equally impressive album that is almost never mentioned when discussing the best Beatles solo albums.
First, let's talk about those singles. As was the custom for the Beatles, two of the strongest songs of Ringo Starr's solo career do not appear on any of his studio albums. The first, released in 1971, is called "It Don't Come Easy," and if hearing it does not make you at least a little happier than you were before, consider Zoloft.
The second, released in 1972, is called "Back Off Boogaloo" and features a guitar riff that's suspiciously similar to the one that briefly made Franz Ferdinand undeserving stars a few years ago:
Finally, in 1973, after having previously recorded an album of standards (Sentimental Journey) and a weird country album (Beaucoups of Blues), Ringo Starr released what he considered his first solo album, simply titled Ringo. While it doesn't feature the two previously mentioned singles, it does contain two more of Ringo's best, even if they were written by John Lennon ("I'm the Greatest") and George Harrison ("Photograph"). In fact, it's one of the few Beatles solo albums that feature all four members (Paul McCartney wrote and played on "Six o'Clock"). The only reason it didn't reach No. 1 on the Billboard charts in the U.S. was that it coincided with the release of Elton John's epic Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album.
Ringo isn't just better than Double Fantasy -- it's better than most Beatles solo albums in general. If you're a Beatles fan and you don't own it, you're not really a Beatles fan.

Why did Adobe re-organize the Insert panel?
In broad terms, Insert options have been added, deprecated, or re-organized to streamline workflows, reduce clutter, and ensure compliance with the latest and most popular trends in web design. To help you focus on the page and avoid distraction from colorful elements in the user interface, color options for Insert icons have been deprecated.
While you may need to re-familiarize yourself with the user interface changes in the short term, we are confident that you will recognize their value as you get up to speed with the new workflows.
The reasons for re-organizing the Insert panel in this update are listed below.
- Sync the ordering of options in the Insert panel with the Insert menu to improve speed of their discoverability.
- Deprecate Insert options that required multiple-clicks. These options can be quickly and easily configured using the Property Inspector or the Code view.
- As part of enhanced HTML5 support in Dreamweaver, new HTML5 elements introduced in the Insert options. Options that have ceased to be important or are no longer part of best web practices have been deprecated.
For example, the table options under Layout category have been moved to Common because tables are no longer used for layout.
- Similar options available under multiple categories have been moved to a single category that best relates to the options.
For example, some of the Spry options were previously available under the Data category as well. Such Spry options have been removed from the Data category.
- Options that were rarely used have been deprecated.
For example, the placeholder option for Insert option has been deprecated because of its limited usage.
- Streamline workflow for Insert options such that the experience is the same irrespective of the mode in which you insert the option.
For example, in Dreamweaver CS6, different dialog boxes were displayed when you insert Text Area based on whether the focus was on the design or code view.
For comprehensive information on changes to Insert options in Dreamweaver 12.1, see Changes to Insert options | Creative Cloud
Is Adobe biased towards subscription users?
From the page Adobe Creative Cloud / FAQ
Is Creative Cloud a replacement for Adobe's traditional creative products and suite editions?
Adobe believes that Creative Cloud is a better way to get your desktop tools because you get access to the latest updates and features as soon as they're available, plus services that tie the new publishing workflows together. Adobe will continue to develop and sell individual CS products, and customers can purchase them through the Adobe online stores and select retail and online stores.
Are there any differences between the Creative Suite software included in my Creative Cloud membership and the software I buy in the box?
Yes, the software included in Creative Cloud membership is different from the software you buy in the box. It gives you everything in the traditional licensed version plus exclusive access to new features. This means that as soon as our engineering teams can finalize new features — such as the features we recently released for Illustrator, and many other new features to come — we will release them through special software editions available only to paying Creative Cloud members. So no more waiting between major releases to get new features.
Why don't I see my previously installed Extensions?
See the blog post Dreamweaver extensions don't appear after updating Dreamweaver to 12.1
Missing custom keyboard shortcuts and Favorite icons
Your custom keyboard shortcuts and Favorites in the Insert icon panel are lost after an update. For icons, you will have to note down your Favorites before you update, and add them again after you complete installing the update.
For keyboard shortcuts, ensure that you export them before you install the update.
- Select Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts
- Click "Export set as HTML" button.
After you upgrade, refer to the exported file to set the shortcuts again.
HTML keywords not localized in Property Inspector
- HTML keywords are no longer localized in the Property Inspector. They appear in English only.

Dominican Today
- SANTO DOMINGO- The opposition PRD party's old stalwarts seek a solution to the crisis which keeps it divided, for which they've formed an "Advisory Committee" which will meet Monday with the entity's authorities known for their affiliation to the group of the former presidential candidate Hipolito Mejia. PRD general secretary Orlando Jorge confirmed that the Committee's members are convening the meeting for 10am Monday in the PRD National District offices on Dr. Baez Av, where all of the party's sectors should be heard. Its important to hear that entity's opinion because it's an organization which as its name says is advisory Emmanuel Esquea chairs the Committee and includes Hugo Tolentino Dipp and former presidents, vice presidents, ministers, presidents of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies, among others.

WAILUKU - Wailuku Main Street Association, a nonprofit organization that has been the recipient of more than $2.2 million in county funding in the last decade, and its board chairman, Thomas Cannon, have been ordered by a judge to comply with a subpoena and to hand over additional financial and organization documents to the state attorney general by Jan. 3.
Additionally, Cannon must make an appearance, tentatively set for Feb. 21, for sworn testimony.
Second Circuit Judge Joseph Cardoza on Wednesday morning granted the state's request calling for WMSA - which is being investigated for possible violations of Hawaii's nonprofit laws - to comply with its subpoena to produce documents and to take testimony from Cannon.
In October, the state filed a petition with the court against Cannon and WMSA, asking for compliance with the subpoena.
During the hearing Wednesday, Cardoza stressed that he was ruling only on the subpoena.
"I'm not saying or making any finding whether the association is conducting itself as it should," the judge said.
In response to Cannon's argument Wednesday that the subpoena and investigation were casting a cloud over the organization made up of "volunteers," Cardoza said the court recognized that complying with a subpoena is "never a simple matter" and commended generally "volunteers at any level."
Cardoza also ordered that the information produced from the subpoena not be disclosed to the public, as requested by Cannon, who appeared in court representing himself without a lawyer.
Cannon said it would be "harmful" if the information were released.
Cannon declined to comment to The Maui News after the hearing but did say that if the public wanted to learn WMSA's side of the story it could go to www.mauitowns. org. In a check of the website late Wednesday afternoon, there was no direct response to the day's court hearing, but there was a tab with letters to county officials, Viewpoints and Letters to the Editor to The Maui News and other communications and documents related to the dispute.
Supervising state Deputy Attorney General Hugh Jones of the Tax & Charities Division said outside of court: "We are pleased the court has enforced the subpoena."
He added that information obtained by the subpoena is a fundamental part of the investigation and could help determine how taxpayer funds have been used.
Jones said that if Cannon has nothing to hide, "why doesn't he swear under oath?"
"Tilting at windmills is the feeling I'm left with," Jones said. "This is a public charity not (the) CIA. We're trying to get to the bottom of this."
On Aug. 30, the state attorney general's Tax & Charities Division issued a letter detailing its findings in its months-long inquiry of the association that has received more than $2.2 million from the county since 2002, the vast majority of the organization's funding. The county in October told WMSA that it was terminating its grant immediately, citing a lack of information from the organization after repeated requests were made.
In the state's findings, it cited nepotism, lobbying in violation of its grant contract, conflicts of interest, inaccuracies with its IRS Form 990, little evidence of program services and a "terribly confused" structure of governance, among other issues.
It also called for the removal of then-Executive Director Jocelyn Perreira as well as conducting some review and revamping of board functions and bylaws, among other measures.
A former attorney for WMSA had said previously that WMSA was forced to downsize and had laid off its entire staff, including its executive director. A court filing said the downsizing was primarily due to the state's investigation.
At Wednesday's hearing, Cannon defended Perreira and the organization, which he said has received many accolades over the years and has helped not only the small town of Wailuku, but other island towns as well. The association was organized to promote, preserve and restore the culture, history and architecture of Wailuku.
Cannon added that according to a county expert, estimates show that for every dollar granted to WMSA, the county received at least twice that amount in value.
As in his court filings and letters, Cannon maintained at Wednesday's hearing that former board member and chairman Sam Clark, whom Cannon called a "disgruntled" board member, has been feeding Jones inaccurate information. Clark is one of several board members who have spoken publicly about being denied key documents and information about the organization's operations and finances. Cannon denied those claims.
Cannon added that there are others in the community trying to bring down the "Hawaiian grass-roots organization."
In response, Jones said the preliminary findings detailed in the Aug. 30 letter came from information from Perreira and documents subpoenaed earlier and not from Clark.
"Mr. Cannon is looking through rose-colored glasses, but they're smeared with Vaseline," Jones said. "This is a shuttered public charity."
He added that WMSA owes $5,000 in back rent.
"Nobody knows where the money is," he added of the organization's finances.

LONDON -- A beaming Prince William and his wife, Kate, emerged from a London hospital on Tuesday with their newborn baby boy, presenting the world with a first glimpse of the prince who is third in line to the British throne.
For an AP Interactive about Britain's Royal Family, go to postandcourier.com/royal-family
A smiling Kate, wearing a baby blue polka dot dress, carried the future monarch outside St. Mary's Hospital in central London so that he could be photographed by the dozens of international press members waiting outside.
The photos are likely to be reprinted for decades as the baby grows into adulthood and his role as a future king. His name has not yet been announced; that's expected in the next few days.
Kate, who said she felt "very emotional," passed the baby to her husband, who appeared relaxed and joked with reporters.
"He's got her looks, thankfully," William said. "He's got a good pair of lungs on him, that's for sure."
William added: "He's a big boy, he's quite heavy," and laughed when a reporter asked him about the baby's hair.
"He's got way more than me, thank God," he said.
The couple re-entered the hospital to place the child in a car seat before re-emerging to get into an SUV. William drove the couple away — palace officials said they will head from the hospital to an apartment in Kensington Palace.
The young family's first public appearance together has been the moment that the world's media and crowds of onlookers camped outside the hospital had long been waiting for. It recalls a similar appearance three decades ago, when Princess Diana and Prince Charles carried the newborn William out to pose for photographs on the same steps in 1982.
Earlier, grandparents Prince Charles, his wife, Camilla, and Michael and Carole Middleton — Kate's parents — were the first relatives to visit the young family at the hospital.
Charles called the baby "marvelous," while a beaming Carole Middleton described the infant as "absolutely beautiful."
The couple's Kensington Palace office said Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, gave birth to the 8 pound, 6 ounce (3.8 kilogram) baby boy at 4:24 p.m. Monday.
The news was greeted with shrieks of joy and excited applause by hundreds of Britons and tourists gathered outside the hospital and Buckingham Palace.
Revelers staged impromptu parties at both locations, and large crowds crushed against the palace gates to try to catch a glimpse — and a photograph — of the golden easel placed there to formally announce the birth. Hundreds were still lining up outside the palace gates Tuesday to get near the ornate easel.
In London, gun salutes were fired, celebratory lights came on, and bells chimed at Westminster Abbey, where William and Kate wed in a lavish ceremony that drew millions of television viewers worldwide.
As the salutes and other tributes were unleashed in Britain and abroad, William thanked staff at St. Mary's Hospital "for the tremendous care the three of us have received."
"We know it has been a very busy period for the hospital and we would like to thank everyone — staff, patients and visitors — for their understanding during this time," he said in a statement.
Tourists and well-wishers flocked to Buckingham Palace on Tuesday, lining up outside the gates to take pictures of the golden easel on which, in keeping with royal tradition, the birth announcement was displayed.
"This was a great event — yet again our royal family is bringing everyone together," said 27-year-old David Wills, who took a two-mile detour on his run to work to pass the palace. "I kind of feel as though I am seeing part of history here today."
A band of scarlet-clad guardsman at the palace delighted onlookers with a rendition of the song "Congratulations."
Other celebrations Tuesday included gun salutes by royal artillery companies to honor the birth and the ringing of bells at London's Westminster Abbey.
Halfway around the world, royalist group Monarchy New Zealand said it had organized a national light show, with 40 buildings across the islands lit up in blue to commemorate the royal birth, including Sky Tower in Auckland, the airport in Christchurch, and Larnach Castle in the South Island city of Dunedin. A similar lighting ceremony took place in Canada; Peace Tower and Parliament buildings in the capital, Ottawa, were bathed in blue light, as was CN Tower in Toronto.
The baby isn't even a day old — and may not be named for days or even weeks — but he already has a building dedicated to him.
Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said an enclosure at Sydney's Taronga Park Zoo would be named after the prince as part of a gift from Australia. The government would donate 10,000 Australian dollars ($9,300) on the young prince's behalf toward a research project at the zoo to save the endangered bilby, a rabbit-like marsupial whose numbers are dwindling in the wild. The prince's name — when known — will be added to the bilby enclosure.
British media joined in the celebration, with many newspapers coming out with souvenir editions.
"It's a Boy!" was splashed across many front pages, while Britain's top-selling The Sun newspaper temporarily changed its name to "The Son" in honor of the tiny monarch-in-waiting.
The Mirror, in an allusion to the fact that news of the baby's birth first broke online, spoke of: "The Twitter of Tiny Feet."
Beyond the newsstands, the birth of the royal baby brought welcome tidings in a country where polls show the monarchy is as popular as any time in recent history. Most Britons are thrilled to have a fresh royal heir, and in the Yorkshire village of Bugthorpe — which Prince Charles was visiting as part of a tour through northern England — the baby was on everyone's lips.
"Morning Granddad," said local resident Robert Barrett, which drew a chuckle from the prince.
Back in London, there was a healthy interest in the baby's name, combined with a note of concern for his future.
"I hope the child is given the opportunity to have a normal childhood," said Julie Warren, a 70-year-old retired schoolteacher waiting for her grandson outside one of the capital's subway station.
Others expressed less interest.
"It's a baby, nothing else," said Tom Ashton, a 42-year-old exterminator on his way to work. "It's not going to mean anything to my life."
The skeptics notwithstanding, new additions to the royal family typically set off a tug-of-war between the royal household and the media as the public clamors for news. The feverish media excitement ahead of Kate's engagement to William led to a warning from Britain's press watchdog, and the appetite for footage, pictures, and other details about the third-in-line to the British throne is likely to be similarly intense.
So far, it's the palace which has largely set the pace of the wall-to-wall coverage, using social media to keep followers abreast of the news.
William, whose mother Diana died in a Paris car crash in 1997 while being hounded by paparazzi, was likely to insist on a measure of privacy, former royal press secretary Charles Anson told the BBC.
On the other hand, he said that "people want more news about this royal baby."
He said the palace would have to find some way to handle that, predicting "a bit of negotiation, a bit of arrangement with the media to get it right."

The Palmetto Christian Academy Eagles jumpstarted their season with a 52-38 opening-night win over the Cathedral Academy Generals Friday in Charleston.
PCA (1-0) entered the game without all-state point guard J.T. Waters and lost all-state shooting guard Joseph Siegwald to injury five seconds in. Down both stars, the Eagles still powered to a 14-point lead in the opening quarter with a 16-2 run built off of nine first-quarter points from Will Tuchfarber.
The Eagles defense forced the Generals into tough shot attempts most of the night, limiting them to 7 percent shooting in the first quarter and just 18 percent for the game.
Tuchfarber led all scorers with 21 points on 8-of-18 shooting and added seven rebounds. Filing in for Siegwald, in his first varsity start, Chris DeMarco pulled down 17 rebounds -- 11 in the first half -- and turned in eight points and three steals.
"It was a little bit of a grind at times but I was proud of the way they came to play, especially in the first quarter," PCA head coach Brian Stanley said. "We got a little tired as the game went on and maybe lost a little bit of intensity and focus jumping out to the big lead."
Cathedral (0-1) trimmed the lead down to eight midway though the second quarter and stayed within 10 through the third while PCA struggled through its own 17-percent shooting slump. Christian Rogers scored nine in the second quarter as part of an 18-point Cathedral team high.
PCA regained its stroke in the fourth quarter, opening with a 15-4 run through the first five minutes to build a 21-point lead. Sam Iriart scored seven of his 12 points in the fourth and added seven rebounds on the night.
"We really tried to challenge ourselves in the fourth quarter to cherish every possession," Stanley said. "We started to finish stronger, got back in the flow and got back our focus.
"Overall, I was pleased. We got up above 20. We were able to get everybody in. We have a long ways to go but mission accomplished for tonight."
PCA returns to the court Dec. 3 on the road against Pinewood Prep in Summerville at 7:30 p.m.
Lady Eagles roll
The PCA Lady Eagles had little trouble coasting to a 43-12 win in the night's opening game.
PCA (1-0) held Cathedral (0-1) to just 2-of-19 shooting while building a 29-4 lead through the first half.
Corey Caulder led all scorers with 13 points, Lizzie Wilson added seven and Annie Pascutti six. Nine different Lady Eagles turned in at least two points.
Cathedral never came within 20 points of PCA in the second half.
The Lady Eagles will face Pinewood at 6:00 p.m. Dec. 3.

Cemetery notes and/or description:
Founded in 1917, Forest Park is one of Louisiana's premiere cemeteries, with more than 35,000 residents amongst its 134 acres.
C.W. Hughes and Stephen W. Griffith, from Marshalltown, Iowa, were the founders of Forest Park Cemetery - East; however, the property was insolvent during the Great Depression. Recognizing the need for a cemetery of substantial size to serve the city's booming population, the Rasberry family, a local Shreveport family, purchased the cemetery. Their vision was to create surroundings that balanced nature with the environment, allowing a presence of civilization without disturbing the grandeur of the romantic setting.
From the first burial of 14-year-old Frederick Lanier Boanno in 1919, Forest Park was designed to serve both the dead and the living. It is the burial site of nine Shreveport mayors, Representative T. Overton Brooks, Senator Rose McConnell Long, General Gabrielle P. Disosway, pioneer oilman William Douglas, international sculptor Arthur C. Morgan, writer John William Corrington, architect N.S. Allen, and Lt. Commander Edward H. Railsback, the most decorated soldier in the history of Louisiana.
Interesting and appropriate sculpture was added to the natural setting, including: a lifelike bronze statue of Lt. R.E. Smitherman, who perished in World War II; the Rev. M.E. Dodd's granite memorial, shaped like the pulpit at First Baptist Church; Paul Simmons' forest scene incised in stone; a simple stone monument commemorating the life of Sinclair Kouns, one of the original founders of Shreveport; and, the American flag that is flown in the War Veterans Section in remembrance of all those who died serving our country. Forest Park is filled with the rich history of the City of Shreveport and its surrounding area.

The conversation about outsourcing to Asia has changed from cost reduction to opportunity. The recent BIOCOM "CalAsia Conference" in San Diego focused on strategies biotech companies can use to leverage the strengths of Asian biotech opportunities. Presenters agreed that Asia is becoming increasingly innovative as it gains experience and an infrastructure to support the biotech industry. Consequently, the work performed in Asia is moving up the value chain.
Steven Burrill, CEO of Burrill & Company, suggested that Asian nation's strengths in information technology—specifically silicon chips and semiconductors—will catapult them to the fore of healthcare innovation. "In the Asia-Pacific region, they're building tomorrow's healthcare system today," Burrill said. He characterized the future of biotech as "Silicon Valley meets physics," leading to greater opportunities.
Joe Panetta, president and CEO of BIOCOM, recommended taking advantage of Asia's strengths to conduct innovative research and development in that region. Although China, India, and Singapore are the trendiest Asian destinations, they're hardly the only players. "Japan and Australia have mature pharmaceutical industries and markets; and Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, and Thailand are seeing momentum. Indonesia and the Philippines are good as cost-reduction strategies," but need to adapt global standards, according to Peter J. Claude, advisory partner, PriceWaterhouseCoopers.
Peter Beattie, former premier of Queensland, Australia, referenced a recent McKinsey Report that listed Korea as a hot spot for stem cell work "ahead of, or on par with, the rest of the world." Korean representatives, in a separate session, cited the beginnings of ventures between local and international firms.
Asia is not homogeneous and, Claude stressed, "the choice of location is crucial." For example, Cambodia is low-cost, but is very risky. Taiwan has a strong IT and medical-device culture, and the government is now offering incentives to biotech, in a bid to become a hub for CRO action, Claus said. India holds the promise of a vast future market, but that market currently is smaller than that of Japan, Korea, or China. "India and China will spearhead the growth in the Asian pharmaceutical and biotech markets," he added, "and Singapore will maintain its position as a center for research and innovation."
To compare multiple locations, he suggested a formula that balances costs (including compensation, infrastructure, taxes, and regulatory considerations) against the risks (geopolitical, human capital, legal, economic, and infrastructure) and market opportunities (healthcare needs, pharmaceutical market size, and the market growth rate).
"There's no one-size-fits-all strategy. Different companies—and even different activity centers in the same company— may have different results in going to Asia," Claude continued. Choose locations based upon your own company's strategy, and the strengths and weaknesses of its own programs and those of potential locations.
Deals with Asian partners offer several strategic benefits. Most obviously, they open vast potential markets. Beyond that, they also offer specific expertise, a market for mature Western therapies and, even in today's constrained economy, sources of financing.

Establishment Republicans in Congress soon will have a chance to demonstrate why they should be defeated at the polls in the fall.
The Treasury Department this week told Congressional leaders that the government has borrowed as much as it can ($16.4 trillion) and that President Barack Obama wants their cooperation in pushing us deeper into debt.
Democrats, led by Obama, have been the primary drivers of the debt since 2008, but Republicans have been guilty, too, and we see that in the nation's new 1,582-page $1.1 trillion budget signed last week by an almost giddy Barack Obama.
Establishment Republicans had voted for the measure, and one of them, our own Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, called it "fiscally responsible."
Sen. Patty Murray, a Democrat from Washington state and one of the budget's architects, would agree.
In a press release, Murray boasted that she had "secured dozens of wins" for her state, including $65 million for the Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund ($15 million more than Obama had sought) and $25 million for restoring the Puget Sound ecosystem ($8 million more than Obama sought).
"Fiscally responsible"? Not really. But give Murray credit. She at least read the bill.
Now we're facing a debt limit again, and Obama is pounding on the doors to the Capitol. "More credit. More credit. Give me more credit for (fill in the blank)."
The Republicans have three options at this point. They can join hands with Democrats and sing "Kumbaya." They can beg for some face-saving concessions and then sing "Kumbaya." Or they can stand and say, "No, this must stop."
At this writing, it looks as though Rep. John Boehner, speaker of the House, is going after concessions. According to a spokesman, Boehner says a "clean" debt limit increase won't pass in the House. "We hope and expect the White House will work with us on a timely, fiscally responsible solution."
Translation: You'll get your debt limit increase, Mister President, but we Republicans will need some crumbs so we can keep our jobs.
What a waste of a good position!
The GOP could stop the madness, but apparently they're not even going to try. Consider:
- A full 66 percent of the American people think Obama has mishandled the debt.
- Raising the debt is flirting with financial meltdown. In 2011, Standard & Poors downgraded the nation's credit worthiness from AAA to AA-plus, and another downgrade may not be far behind.
- The politics is with Republicans.
Obama has alienated the nation in more ways than we can count. His latest insult: Threatening to bypass Congress. "I've got a pen, and I've got a phone." That's dictator talk, and all members of Congress- Republicans and Democrats - should turn their backs on this president. He has earned their contempt.
And then there are the mid-term elections. Every seat in the House and one-third of the seats in the Senate are on the ballot this year, and politicians who want to keep their jobs would have an easier time if they heed the will of the people and cap the debt.
Finally: We've all heard Obama's red herring about the country defaulting on its credit obligations if the debt limit isn't raised. More Obama lies.
His budget for 2014 includes about $223 billion for interest on the debt and about $1.7 trillion in tax revenue. Thus, there's plenty of income to service our debt, and a default would occur only if the president orders it.
Peter Ferrara, a former associate deputy attorney general, got it right last October in an essay for Forbes magazine.
"(I)n my opinion, it would be an impeachable offense for President Obama to default on the national debt in violation of the Constitution when he has the available resources. Perhaps the House Judiciary Committee opening impeachment hearings and taking testimony on this point would help President Obama decide how to prioritize."

Janet Kershner-Vanover is seeking re-election to the position of Pocahontas County magistrate.
Kershner-Vanover is the daughter of Betty Kershner and the late Woodrow Kershner of Droop Mt., and a graduate of Pocahontas County High School and Bluefield State College.
"I was first elected magistrate in 1989," Kershner-Vanover said. "In 1995, my husband and I relocated to Alabama due to his employment. I moved back to Pocahontas County in 2007 after becoming a widow. I was re-elected and returned to office in January 2009.

"I have attended all continuing education classes provided by the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals," she said. "These classes are vital in keeping the magistrate updated on the frequently changing laws and procedures as well as the court computer system that allows access to the more than 270 court forms. I also spend a great amount of time reviewing and studying case law.
"Our duties are significant and we are 'on call' 24/7, six months out of the year, as well as in the office full time, with alternating rotation to the Durbin satellite office," she said.
When on call, magistrates must come out at all hours for domestic violence petitions, issuance of search warrants, felony warrants and for someone to post bail. They also conduct mental hygiene hearings, when needed.
"I take my job seriously and believe the only way to have the trust of the people is to treat everyone fairly and respectfully without bias or prejudice," Kershner-Vanover said.
A magistrate is to uphold the integrity and independence of the judiciary. They are to evaluate all evidence presented, utilize the code of West Virginia and make rulings without fear of criticism. Magistrates are not part of any law enforcement agency.
Amendment 6 of the U S Constitution guarantees the right to a fair trial. It assures defendants the right to be confronted with the witnesses against them. If a defendant fails to appear for court upon receiving notice, a capias is issued for their arrest. If an officer fails to appear upon subpoena or provide requested discovery, the case must be dismissed by the court. A magistrate must remain impartial and cannot be biased or influenced by law enforcement.
"I follow the letter of the law," Kershner-Vanover said. "I am proud of the stance I take on the side of justice. Serving the citizens of Pocahontas County is a privilege I take seriously and perform to the best of my ability.
"I have 10 years of judicial experience and would greatly appreciate your continued support and respectfully ask for your consideration and vote on Nov. 6 to keep a fair and impartial magistrate."
Kershner-Vanover can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I'm back from this year's annual meeting of the Southeast Music Library Association, held Oct. 8-10 in New Orleans, hosted by Loyola and Tulane Universities. Highlights of the program included a visit to Tulane's famed Hogan Jazz Archive, and a tour of Tulane's main music library, which during Katrina was submerged under 8 1/2 feet of water. After a 3-year restoration project by the Belfor firm, and donations from other libraries, our Tulane colleagues have a large portion of their music collection back, albeit now housed in much more cramped quarters.
Presentations this year showcased excellent historical research on the music of New Orleans and the South. This year's meeting was a joint one with TMLA, and we enjoyed getting to know our colleagues from Texas better. I was able to do other productive networking, including querying my music colleagues about faculty-status systems at their schools.
And, four years after Katrina, librarians are still remembered in New Orleans as the first group to hold their convention there after the storm. When a colleague's taxi driver learned she was a librarian, he recalled the ALA meeting and repeated the refrain many ALA'ers will remember: "You'll never know how much that meant to us…"

Server Virtualization - Creating IO Domains on T5440
By pallab on Oct 13, 2008
If we refer to the System Topology diagram in my previous blog,
we find that the internal disks of T5440 are connected to PCIe-0. Hence
it is not possible to remove the PCIe-0 from the Primary (or Control)
Domain. However it is possible to remove PCIe-1, PCIe-2 and PCIe-3 from
the Primary Domain and allocate them to IO Domains.
In order to create a IO-domain using PCIe-1, it has to be removed from Primary Domain. This would cause the Primary Domain to lose its primary network interface if it has been using the On-board NICs. However if there was a network card available on PCIe-0, then the primary network for Primary Domain can be switched to the ports on the network card before removing PCIe-1 from Primary Domain. If an additional network card is not available, it should still be possible to remove PCIe-1 from Primary Domain and create a IO domain (let us call it Secondary Domain) managing devices off PCIe-1. In such a case, the Primary Domain would provide the boot-disk service to the Secondary Domain and the Secondary Domain would provide the primary network service for the Primary Domain. The Pseudo-steps below outlines how this can be done.
- In the Primary Domain
- set the number of VCPUs to 8 (this is just an example number of VCPUs)
- set the memory to 8GB (just an example size of memory)
- create a vdisk-server
- remove PCIe-1 from its control
- This would cause the Primary Domain to lose its network after reboot
- Reboot the Primary Domain and log back into the Primary Domain from Console
- To cause VCPUs for Secondary Domain to be allocated from T1 (refer to the Topology Diagaram), create a dummy domain with the rest of 56 VCPUs from T0. Bind the dummy domain.
- Associate a vdiskserverdevice as the boot-device for Secondary Domain
- Create the Secondary Domain
- set the number of VCPUs to 8
- set the memory to 8GB
- add PCIe-1 to it
- add the vdiskserverdevice as the vdisk for this domain
- Bind, install-OS and boot the domain
- Create a vswitch-device on the Secondary Domain
- Reboot the Secondary Domain
- Create a vnet-device for the Primary Domain associated with the above vswitch-device
- Plumb and configure the vnet device on the Primary Domain (assumingthe On-Board network ports are connected to the primary network of the Data Center) Now the Primary Domain should have the primary network available.
- Remove the dummy domain and proceed with creating other domains.
With the above technique, when the Primary Domain is rebooted, the Secondary Domain may seem to pause until the Primary Domain boots back. Similarly when the Secondary Domain is rebooted, the Primary Domain's primary network may appear to freeze until the Secondary Domain comes back online. But that is far better than losing all the domains and the applications running in those domains.

This issue of Myeloma Today is sponsored in part by an unrestricted educational grant from Novartis Pharmaceuticals.
Over the last few months, the IMF Hotline has experienced an increase in the number of questions about complementary approaches to cancer therapy. In response, the IMF Los Angeles Patient & Family Interactive Seminar© has featured a talk by Lewis Mehl-Madrona, M.D., author of Coyote Medicine, and Myeloma Today has conducted an interview with L.A.-based practitioner Shlomit Michaely, Ph.D., L.Ac..
Myeloma Today: Please tell us about yourself.
Dr. Shlomit: I was born in Jerusalem, and have traveled the world for the last 20 years studying, practicing, and teaching different aspects of the ancient sciences — acupuncture, nutrition, yoga, relaxation, and meditation, to name but a few. I am a graduate of Samra University of Oriental Medicine, licensed by the State of California Acupuncture Committee, and certified as a Diplomat in Acupuncture by the U.S. National Commission for the Certification of Acupuncturists. I hold a Ph.D. in Holistic Nutrition and am the founder of East West Medicine Center. While maintaining two practices in Los Angeles — one with a surgeon at St. Joseph's Medical Center and the other at Y.M.I. Yoga and Wellness Center — I make the time to teach healing yoga, relaxation, and meditation to patients, colleagues, and doctors alike. I also write articles and books and speak at health and well-being conferences.
MT: What is Integrative Medicine?
Dr. Shlomit: Human beings have always suffered from various kinds of disease. Heavy environmental pollution, mental stress, and the increased need for different chemical treatments are but a few of the factors that have given rise to today's heightened awareness and pursuit of integrative medicine.
Simply, Integrative Medicine is a combination of several rich and living healing traditions from both Western medicine and Eastern medicine systems of knowledge and practice. Integrative Medicine can transform our view of ourselves into a powerful union of body, mind, and spirit. It has given all kinds of people of all ages and with different conditions — especially chronic ones — new possibilities, choices, and hope for living better, living stronger, and living longer.
MT: How can Integrative Medicine benefit myeloma patients?
Dr. Shlomit: My experience with patients with different kinds of cancer, and other ailments and conditions, has shown me the tremendous benefits of combining the most ancient medicine with the most progressive Western medical treatments available today. As an Eastern- and Western-educated holistic healthcare provider, I bring a combination of complementary philosophies and medicines to my work with myeloma patients undergoing procedures such as chemotherapy, radiation, transplantation, and dialysis. This, combined with my work with a variety of Western medical specialists, has brought about a wider understanding of the specific needs of myeloma patients and the significant improvements they receive from Traditional Chinese Medicine, nutrition, yoga, relaxation, and meditation. This, in turn, has brought about my involvement with IMF.
MT: What about acupuncture?
Dr. Shlomit: What is popularly known today as acupuncture and herbal medicine is, in fact, part of the 5,000-year-old complete medical system called Traditional Chinese Medicine, also known as TCM. It emphasizes an integral approach that treats the person as a whole, recognizes patterns of disharmony, and addresses the cause of a disease as well as the symptoms. TCM includes acupuncture, herbs, nutrition, and a variety of ancient energy and physical techniques and exercises.
The acupuncture aspect of TCM is the practice of inserting thin, sterile, disposable needles into the body at specific acupoints. These points are located in a system called the meridians. Mapped by the Chinese over a period of 2,000 years, the meridians are pathways through which the energy of the human body circulates.
According to the traditional theory, in the human body there exists a system of meridians that integrate all of the body's separate parts and functions into a unified organism. As long as the energy flows freely through the meridians, good health is maintained. When the flow of energy is blocked for any reason, there is disruption of health resulting in pain and illness. By stimulating appropriate acupuncture points along the meridians, the energy is released, stimulating internal organs, nerves, bones, blood, and body fluids. Another great advantage of acupuncture is the absence of side effects.
MT: What about the role of nutrition?
Dr. Shlomit: Dietary therapy, specially designed for patients and their constitutions and conditions, provides the basis for maintaining health and treating disease. This fulfills the basic nutritional needs for cell regeneration and production.
MT: Is Yoga another component of Integrative Medicine?
Dr. Shlomit: Yes. Yoga, which means union, is an ancient Indian healing tradition which teaches us how we can enrich, enhance, and extend our lives despite disruption from illness or aging. This long-lived body of knowledge consists of proper exercise, proper breathing, proper diet, proper relaxation, positive thinking, and meditation. According to yoga philosophy, health is not the absence of disease, but a state of balance using mind over matter.
MT: Which myeloma-related conditions can be treated by acupuncture and TCM?
Dr. Shlomit: Acupuncture and TCM can offer benefits in a number of areas:
With all aspects of Integrative Medicine, it is essential to keep in mind the very particular needs of myeloma patients. With every treatment and practice, the emphasis remains on freedom from pain, the strengthening of bodily functions, and increased energy in the body through personalized treatments and practices.
Dr. Shlomit can be contacted by email at email@example.com.

Hoover Middle School will be the only place to vote this May in the Ken-Ton School District, at least the traditional way.
Tuesday night, the School Board voted unanimously to reduce the number of polling sites from three to one. The vote followed a public hearing during which none of the approximately three dozen people in the audience commented.
The change not only is expected to save money – perhaps $3,000 the first year and more in subsequent years – but also increase student safety. The district will continue to use off-duty police officers to provide security at the building during school hours.
The subject came up recently because voting districts within Ken-Ton were reconfigured by the Erie County Board of Elections, board President Bob Dana said, resulting in a change in polling places for some residents. Between 1998 and 2012, the Philip Sheridan Building on Elmwood Avenue and Kenmore East High School, at Brighton and Fries roads, also were polling places.
A previous School Board had expanded the number of sites in 1998, thinking it would enhance accessibility and voter turnout.
"It didn't seem to increase voter participation," Dana said, citing a report on voting trends. Since 2005, voter turnout typically has been less than half of what it was in 1997, the last time the only polling place was Hoover Middle School, which is on Thorncliff Road but accessible from Sheridan Drive.
The board has authorized Superintendent Mark P. Mondanaro to make decisions to ensure things flow smoothly. That includes relocating faculty and staff parking on election days, if necessary, and making sure there are a sufficient number of election machines, election workers, and building and grounds personnel available to handle an expected increase in the number of voters.
The option of using absentee ballots also will be stressed to residents.
"In no way, shape or form are we looking to diminish voter participation," Dana said.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Scientists suggest that a protein known as thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) could represent a new target for diabetes and potentially other human diseases such as Wolfram syndrome that are associated with endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress). The researchers, headed by a University of Massachusetts (UMass) Medical School team, have found that TXNIP effectively triggers cell inflammatory responses as a result of ER stress caused by chronic high glucose levels, which leads directly to the death of insulin-producing β cells in the pancreas.
Recent evidence suggests that crosstalk between inflammation and ER stress plays a role in the loss of β cells during the progression of type 1 and type 2 diabetes and Wolfram syndrome, a genetic form of diabetes and neurodegeneration. ER stress caused by cellular disturbances is associated with a buildup of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum, which can lead to cell death if the cells' unfolded protein response (UPR) repair mechanism can't correct the problem. However, a key molecule that links ER stress to inflammation hasn't yet been identified.
To try and find this link the UMass researchers built on experimental results indicating that TXNIP plays a role in β cell death in diabetes. They looked at mouse pancreatic tissue to see whether the protein was actually produced by β cells and determine its signalling pattern. They initially confirmed that TXNIP was highly expressed in insulin-producing β cells, and that subjecting the cells to chemical ER stress inducers or high levels of glucose, which also causes ER stress, triggered even higher levels of TXNIP mRNA expression. Importantly, TXNIP mRNA expression was increased in human primary islets following treatment with chemical ER stress inducers.
Subsequent analysis of TXNIP-related pathways showed that expression of the protein was induced by ER stress as part of the resulting UPR, leading to the production of interleukin 1β and subsequently β cell death. The results indicated that TXNIP production is induced by ER stress through the PERK and IRE1 pathways, leading to IL-1β mRNA transcription, activation of IL-1β production by the NLRP3 inflammasome, and thus eventually ER stress-mediated β cell death.
In essence, the team suggests, a range of stress-signalling pathways appear to converge at TXNIP, leading to inflammasome activation and IL-1β production, which has catastrophic effects on the β cell. "Our findings unexpectedly revealed that the UPR regulates IL-1β production through TXNIP," write Fumihiko Urano, M.D., and colleagues in Cell Metabolism. "We propose that during diabetes, TXNIP expression is induced through the UPR and leads to β cell inflammation and apoptosis... Our data combined with recent findings indicate that there exists a tight link between ER stress, oxidative stress, glucose toxicity, and inflammation, suggesting that a therapeutic strategy that aims to target the common molecular processes that are altered in stressed β cells might be effective."
Dr. Urano, et al describe their findings in a paper titled "Thioredoxin-Interacting Protein Mediates ER Stress-Induced β Cell Death through Initiation of the Inflammasome."
