Most people take electricity for granted. Until theyre given a reason not to.
If you go
What: The S.C. Public Service Commission has scheduled three public hearings on SCE&Gs application for permission to increase rates. The next meeting is in Charleston.When: 6 p.m. MondayWhere: International Longshoremens Association Local 1422, 1142 Morrison Drive, Charleston.More info: http://www.psc.sc.gov/Pages/default.aspx
It usually takes an epic disaster such as Hurricane Sandy to fix attention on the ho-hum process of making and delivering the magical, dangerous current that energizes everything from water heaters to factory machines and phone chargers.
Other times, a simple rate increase is all thats needed to jolt the issue to the front burner.
South Carolina could be on the cusp of the latter scenario, as its only remaining Fortune 500 business pushes to raise the prices for the power it generates. Again.
Scana Corp.s South Carolina Electric & Gas unit notified state regulators about its latest revenue-boosting plan in June. That comes on top of a two-tiered flurry of previous increases that have driven up prices 58 percent since 2004, with more still to come.
Now, the opposition is putting up its dukes and will likely come out swinging Monday at a public hearing in Charleston, not far from where the utility got its start in 1846,
It promises to be interesting.
A key question is emerging amid this latest rate debate: How will SCE&Gs higher price structure hamper the states ability to retain and recruit businesses, especially manufacturers?
Robert Johnston, a top executive with The InterTech Group Inc. in North Charleston and a longtime SCE&G critic, said the impact of another increase could cripple economic development in South Carolina.
That hurts jobs. That hurts the tax base. ... That hurts everything, he said.
6.61 percent request
SCE&G has proposed an average 6.61 percent increase for its 660,000 residential and business customers.
For residential customers, that would push their monthly bills to $141.73 per 1,000 kilowatts used. Thats 42 percent higher than Duke Energy, about 41 percent more than Progress Energy, and nearly 26 percent more than Santee Cooper.
The Cayce-based utility has said it needs the extra $150 million a year to comply with new regulations and to recoup past investments in its power-line system.
The S.C. Public Service Commission will review the request this month. If approved, the new rates would kick in early next year.
But first the commission is gathering public testimony, including comments to be made under oath at Mondays hearing in Charleston.
Organized opposition is lining up, and its an eclectic group. While they have different motives and agendas, the AARP, Sierra Club and a coalition of big industrial businesses, among others, are all ganging up against SCE&G.
The testimony promises be juicy at times. Speakers will likely touch on executive compensation at the utility and on the wisdom of spending $10 billion to expand the V.C. Summer nuclear plant. The Public Service Commission also might catch heat for not being tough enough on SCE&G in past rate reviews and for not forcing the utility to rein in its expenses.
At the dance
One of the most vocal challengers from the business world will be S.C. Energy Users Committee, a coalition made up of big companies that buy vast amounts of power. They are livid over SCE&Gs steady drumbeat of price hikes. Their hired expert, Kevin W. ODonnell, has filed a detailed 60-page argument against the proposed increase.
Among the groups local foot soldiers are Johnston of The InterTech Group and another senior executive at the North Charleston-based manufacturing giant, Grant Reeves, who has been analyzing SCE&Gs power costs.
The company, which is building an aerospace parts plant in North Charleston, brings an insiders perspective to the debate because it also is a sizable investor in various public electric utilities.
Weve been at this dance for quite some time, and were trying to get people to understand what the impact is on the state. ... Everybody is impacted by this, said Johnston, whose home runs completely on solar power.
Both executives plan to testify Tuesday night. Theyll likely discuss SCE&Gs decision to spend millions on items such as its new headquarters at a time when most other companies were pulling back.
Another big talking point: the effect of higher power bills on businesses that want to move to or expand within the utilitys service territory.
They may look at closing that plant, and building in another jurisdiction that costs less, Johnston said.
Reeves said the normally low-key InterTech isnt taking up the cause purely for its own economic benefit. He and Johnston pointed to CEO Anita Zuckers longtime hands-on involvement in local economic development issues, such as job creation and education.
She is truly engaged in all of this, Johnston said,
Reeves added that Zucker and her family have demonstrated over the years that they dont walk away from problems in their own backyard. They try to fix them. And right now, they see a problem.
The bottom line is our electric rates are too ... high, Reeves said.

The library is hosting Come. Sit. Stay., a fun, dog-themed event for the whole family from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, October 12. The event is free and open to all and includes:
• 11 a.m.: Basic Dog Grooming. Do's and don'ts anyone can do at home to keep their pets happy, clean and healthy presented by Chris Lang of Tails A Waggin of Fond du Lac.
How Does Michael Hingson Do That? will be presented at 6 p.m. Thursday, October 10, at the Fond du Lac Public Library. The presentation is free and open to the public. No registration required.
Emergency Preparedness at Home and Away will be presented at 6 p.m. Tuesday, October 8, at the Fond du Lac Public Library. The presentation is free and open to the public. No registration required.
Jim McNabb, who heads up the Fond du Lac County Dept. of Communication/Emergency Mangement, will talk about the easy steps anyone can take to protect themselves and their families during a natural or manmade disaster. This includes how to create an emergency supply kit, have an evacuation or sheltering plan and how to stay informed.
Kids who attend school in Fond du Lac School District get a bonus this year: early release on the first Fridays of the month starting in October. Parents perhaps aren't as thrilled. The Fond du Lac Public Library has stepped in with a free program, Half Day Party at the Library, from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. every first Friday of the month starting October 4 with A Ghoulishly Good Time. The movie Casper will be shown, and ghoulishly good treats served.
School's going full speed ahead, and that means homework, projects due, chapters to finish. Teens need a break. Why not do something just for the fun of it?
Remember the old saying "you can't go home again"? Well, it certainly does not apply to Liza Palmer's newest book, Nowhere but Home. Though it is about trying to return home to a life left behind, the author takes some very serious subjects and manages to weave them into an emotional tale that is even lighthearted in some ways.
What do you get when you combine creative teens, a bit of glitz and the art of upcycling? If you're really good, you get a new iPad.
Fond du Lac Read events are held throughout October.
All programs are free, open to the public and held at the Main Library downtown, except where noted.
No registration required. Complete details are found at the Calendar.
Jake and Charlie have been working side by side for more than five months. In that time, Charlie's mastered such important skills as opening and closing doors, getting a tissue and picking up after his human friends. The duo's work is nearly done.
It was a national nightmare. Watching the 9/11 attacks on TV was unfathomable. Imagine sitting at your desk on the 78th floor of the North Tower and hearing a tremendous boom. Then the horror of feeling the building groan and tip.

Three Mens Tennis Players Earn All-MAC Honors
MUNCIE, Ind. - Juniors Ray Leonard and Patrick Elliott along with freshman Lucas Andersen of the Ball State men's tennis team have earned All-Mid-American Conference First and Second Team accolades respectively. The All-MAC honors are voted on by the league's coaches and were announced by the conference office Tuesday.
The Ball State men's tennis team earned an automatic bid to the NCAA Championships by winning the Mid-American Conference Tournament title last Saturday and will play a first-round match at Illinois May 9 at 5 p.m. (EST).
"Great honors for all three of these players," Ball State head men's tennis coach Bill Richards said. "They were instrumental in winning the championship and greatly deserving of their all conference awards."
Leonard was named All-MAC First Team for the third straight season. He helped the Cardinals claim their 22nd MAC title Saturday after their 4-3 win over Buffalo. Leonard posted a straight set victory over Damien David on court one to give Ball State the 3-1 edge over the Bulls.
Elliott garnered All-MAC second team honors for the first time in his career. Elliott ended the season with a 15-6 dual mark and went 2-2 in league action. He garnered MAC Player of the Week honors, April 16. Elliott put the Cardinals up 2-1 in the MAC title match Saturday after his win over Buffalo at No. 2 singles.
Andersen has received All-MAC Second Team honors as a true freshman. He owns a 17-4 dual mark with a 4-0 MAC ledger. Andersen's three-set singles win on court three Saturday clinched the 4-3 victory for the third-seeded Ball State men's tennis team over fourth-seed Buffalo in the championship match of the 2014 Mid-American Conference Tournament.
The Ball State men's tennis team continues its season when it travels to Illinois Friday, May 9 for the first round of the NCAA Championship. The Cardinals will take on the No. 12 Fighting Illini at 5 p.m. (EST) in Champaign.

Good work Charles and co.!
In general, I think I like the design. It's annoying that I don't have quick access to the forums any more (hover and click is slower than just click).
Also, it'd be nice if I could take advantage of the real estate to the left and right of the forums - the text area seems too narrow for my taste.
And, of course, theming would be nice
I was met with a surprise when i logged in. It is certainly a welcome change. Looks pretty neat
Tags and video search is awesome
Good Job!!
Wow! Excellent work guys... I love the whole new design, I know you guys spent a lot of time on this, so props for ya'll @ Microsoft.

It is bad advertising if anything, to put up a "new and improved" site targerted at a technical audience, that does not comply to the basic standards.
As for functionality, I do not notice that big a difference. Let's call it "a promising start" and hope that Mr. Kinney will do a better job than he did at Xamlon which was one of the most disappointing and annoying pieces of software I ever tried.
They are going to prove everyone wrong you see, in a week this site will be fully XHTML compliant and even the most suspicious developers will love it. As a developer's forum, it is going to be exemplary. Right?
I have just redesigned my new logo to have a grey outline, gif transparencies who up in blue and there is a default border outline round the images so it doesn't look seamless. I made my avatar 160x120 but when I upload it not only does C9 auto resize it,
it degrades the quality.
This might be okay if uploading a bmp but it's a jpeg already, and how come only the C9 logo is allowed to be a PNG, I have a nice icon which does not show up well when fuzzy, its meant to be crisp.
Can't I even host a png on a server, if its space your worried about.
First of all, cool design.
There's one thing I would like to point out: What's with the + in the titles of some tags and postings? Shouldn't this be a space ?
I do not so much admire but certainly appreciate the interactive nature of Microsoft's promotional efforts. I also assume they will appreciate my feedback not any less than the "good job!" and "I love it!" types of comment.

Willem: We followed the existing tagging style of other already implemented sites like Technorati, Flickr and del.icio.us. The "+" is used in place of a space or encoded as "%20". My guess its more dependable and easier for parsing to use a specified character for seperating words. I suppose we don't need to display them that way though...
Martin: I agree, its motivating.
Diego: our videos are 500kbps videos (if you download them). I'm experimenting with a better encoder, though. We'll see.
Even Microsoft has limits to file sizes that we can put up with distributing.

- Finally Review by Amber
- Last summer, I was at my wits end. My doctor had me try 6 or 7 different daily wear lenses and all had something terribly wrong with them. One of the most popular brands I tried, I had to go back to the Optometrist and have someone PEEL it off my eye! I have pretty dry eyes and take drops and even by the end of the day with the Clearsight, my eyes are red, but they are the best of the bunch. They feel very comfortable when I put them in. (Posted on 9/5/14)
- Great value Review by Guest
- Sometimes I need contact lenses for a few hours, so my doctor suggested this branch for me. It worked great. I feel no difference from the more expensive Acuvue daily moist when I just wear it for 4-7 hours. (Posted on 4/2/14)
- Pretty Good Review by Guest
- The contacts are pretty good for the price. They do tend to be a little dry, but not to the point where it's uncomfortable. My only complaint is that sometimes when I wear them, for the first hour or so, my eyes go in and out of focus. I'm thinking maybe a few of those contacts were bad ones because it only happened a few times. Overall, they are not bad for the price. (Posted on 9/4/13)

What's in colostrum these days?
by Jud Heinrichs and Coleen Jones
The authors are a professor and research associate in the department of dairy and animal science at Penn State and wish to acknowledge the contributions of graduate students Sylvia Kehoe and Meghan Moody in completing the research described here.
Quality hasn't changed much in four decades. However, IgG levels are trending downward while mineral and vitamin levels are higher.
Calf colostrum is the all-important first feed for the calf that allows the calf to be healthy and begin to grow. It provides much needed nutrients and, most importantly, maternal antibodies that protect calves from disease.
Penn State has been conducting a series of studies related to colostrum. Funding for this applied research has been supported by the Animal Health Commission of the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. With the exception of immunoglobulin concentrations, it has been many years since colostrum composition has been studied. Over time, changes in genetics, management, and nutrition may have impacted what is currently found in Holstein colostrum, so we set out to see what is in colostrum today.
We visited farms in four major dairy areas in Pennsylvania and collected colostrum samples from Holstein cows. The first components measured were fat, protein, lactose, and total solids. Our analysis showed some relatively standard values, similar to the ones reported 40 years ago (see table below). While the average looked good, the range of samples was very wide.
Clearly, many samples contained adequate to exceptional levels of nutrients, but when you look at how poor some of the samples were, as shown by the minimum values, you see a different story. The lowest samples that we analyzed were so poor that calves receiving those colostrum samples as a first feeding could not have obtained enough nutrients to get them off to a good start. Although there are some cows that produce so much first-milking colostrum that nutrient concentrations are diluted, milking the cow as soon as possible after calving is very important to obtain colostrum with the highest nutrient levels possible. Collect colostrum within two hours of calving for the best results.
Mineral and some vitamin levels were noticeably higher in these colostrum samples, as compared to studies reported 20 or more years ago, which likely reflects more attention to feeding dry cow minerals now than in years past. Minerals and vitamins fed to dry cows directly impact colostrum, and many of these minerals and vitamins are quite adequate today, making supplemental injections for newborn calves unnecessary in many cases.
Another very important component of colostrum is its immunoglobulin content. This aspect of our samples was more disturbing. Values ranged widely, but the greater concern is that the total immunoglobulin concentration of the samples was 47 mg/mL (to get the total, simply add the amount of IgG, IgA, and IgM). Generally, 50 mg/mL is considered the cutoff point for good versus marginal colostrum. So, on average, our samples showed colostrum immunoglobulin was marginal. While some samples were very high and more than adequate, there were as many that were too low, and some, as noted by the minimum numbers, were extremely low. In fact, these lowest samples could not likely be considered to be true colostrum. Calves fed 4 quarts of this lowest-quality colostrum would not be able to attain adequate immune protection.
Past studies have shown that as first milking colostrum volume goes up, colostrum quality falls on average. A good thumb rule is that if a cow gives more than 15 pounds of first colostrum (provided she is completely milked), there is a good probability that the quality will be marginal or low. Cows with higher genetic potential for milk production secrete more milk and likely increase secretion faster once calving has occurred. Cows that leak substantially or are milked prior to calving have lost much of the value of their true colostrum with this pre-milking or leaking.
In addition, delayed first milking causes lower IgG levels in colostrum. The drop in IgG as time to collecting colostrum increases may be due to re-absorption of immunoglobulins by the cow, dilution of IgG as the amount of milk secreted increases, or a combination of these factors.
Another component of this study was to look at the bacteriological status of the colostrum samples. We found that nearly 30 percent of the samples had standard plate counts greater than those generally considered a standard for quality raw milk (less than or equal to 5,000 cfu/mL). Since we really do not have standards for colostrum, those used for raw milk are suggested as a starting point for comparison.
Our samples tell us that some farms have room for improvement in their collection of colostrum. Whether it means more attention to cleaning the udder and teats prior to milking, regular cleaning and sanitizing of colostrum milkers and collection buckets, or storing colostrum in ways that limit bacterial growth, better colostrum collection practices can help reduce the number of bacteria in colostrum and limit the number of potentially harmful bacteria fed to newborn calves.
In another related study, we wanted to see if the traditional understanding that heifers have poorer colostrum than older cows was still true. For that study, we used four larger farms and analyzed colostrum from every cow that calved during a four-month period. What we found was that, with today's heifer feeding programs, vaccination programs, and management, heifers and older cows have nearly equal colostrum IgG levels. This means there is no need to arbitrarily discard heifer-produced colostrum. Heifer colostrum should be treated like cow colostrum and fed when it meets your criteria which may increase the colostrum supply.
While older cows will often have more diversity of antibodies in their colostrum, many of these older cows produce so much more colostrum that the additional volume dilutes the concentration of immunoglobulins. We found that some heifers actually had higher colostrum immunoglobulin concentrations than older cows.
Many aspects of colostrum management are not new and have not changed drastically; however, we continually see mortality and morbidity rates at the same levels that were found 15 to 20 years ago. One of the definite reasons that we are not seeing these levels go down as we should is colostrum quality and colostrum management practices are not improving as they should. Many of these can be fixed with small changes in management of the newborn and just-fresh cow.

One of the newspaper headlines about the most recent study of the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources described the problems of this vital state agency as "an unfolding train wreck." And a recently released audit of this vital arm of state government suggests a possible annual gain in new revenue for the state of $56.7 million is possible with a combination of potential new revenues and operating savings.
Two state legislators who will be leading a study of the current problems in DHHR plan to use this audit as a roadmap during the next nine months of interim committee meetings. One of them, Sen. Ron Stollings, D-Boone, has even suggested there is some talk of breaking up the DHHR.
The $320,000 audit by Pennsylvania-based Public Works LLC, not released until April 19 even though it was dated Feb. 27, concluded that "an unstable work environment" is a major factor in the 30 percent turnover rate and widespread use of overtime to get the job done in this critical state agency.
The turnover rate of employees is nearly three times the normal average of 3.3 percent, according to the audit, with nearly 600 unfilled positions. Gordon Simmons, a field organizer for UE Local 170, West Virginia's Public Workers Union, said DHHR managers need to be held accountable for the unstable workforce.
"If DHHR is such a decent place to work, how is that there is a constant rate of 600 unfilled positions year after year?" Simmons asked in an emailed response to the audit.
The 116-page audit report contains 78 recommendations for revamping DHHR with a projected potential savings of nearly $284 million over five years. Currently West Virginia ranks 4th among the 50 states for public health care funding per person and residents have the 10th-highest private health insurance premiums. But the state still has one of the worst outcomes in results nationwide.
Even more startling is the fact that the Bureau of Medical Services-one of the DHHR agencies-has only 1.4 percent of the department's total workforce even though it handles nearly three-fourths of the total budget. In contrast, the Bureau for Behavioral Health and Health Facilities accounts for 68 percent of the department's overtime, even though it receives less than 10 percent of its funding, according to the audit.
Perhaps the most damaging-albeit not surprising-finding by the study is that only two other states have a higher number of adults who are obese or have diabetes. And only one had more adult smokers according to 2012 statistics. And West Virginia ranked 48th among the 50 states in overall health outcomes.
Unfortunately, lawmakers at the recently completed legislative session failed to enact a proposal from the audit that Gov. Tomblin recommended which would have reduced Medicaid spending on trips to the doctor. But a bill to nearly double the salary of the next Secretary of DHHR from $95,000 a year to $175,000 - which is more than the governor receives - did pass.
Meanwhile, last week's unanimous ruling by a three-judge federal appeals court panel that the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency can reject a permit for the largest mountaintop removal coal mine in this state's history is the latest development in the ongoing efforts by Arch Coal, Inc., to open one of the largest such mines in West Virginia history.
Arch Coal had no immediate comment on the decision, but Rep. Nick J. Rahall, D-W. Va., who represents the area where the strip mine is planned, criticized the decision. He said he would reintroduce previously unsuccessful legislation in Congress to remove the present veto authority from the EPA.
And, as you might expect, Jason Bostic, a vice president of the West Virginia Coal Association, was also appalled by the decision. He told a reporter for the Charleston Gazette that he "can't imagine Congress intended things to work this way."
But the three federal judges were all appointed by either President George H. W. Bush or President George W. Bush. And they all agreed in their ruling that the Clean Water Act contains "unambiguous language" that "manifests the Congress's intent" to give EPA "a broad veto power" that extends beyond the mere issue of a permit.
Finally, an indication of how widespread the problem of drug addition is in southern West Virginia was highlighted in a recent statement by Judy Akers, chief executive officer of the Southern Highlands Community Health Center, during an interview with a Beckley newspaper. She said a new clinic at Welch is treating 24 people at a time and has 143 people on a waiting list for treatment at the new McDowell County clinic.
She also said they have a waiting list at the organization's clinic in Mercer County and that SHCHC is now planning to open one in Wyoming County because of the growing demands and need for this kind of treatment to help those dealing with substance abuse in this region of the state.

VITAMIN B12 Overview Information
Vitamin B12 is a vitamin. It can be found in foods such as meat, fish, and dairy products. It can also be made in a laboratory.
Vitamin B12 is used for treating and preventing vitamin B12 deficiency, a condition in which vitamin B12 levels in the blood are too low. It is also used to treat pernicious anemia, a serious type of anemia that is due to vitamin B12 deficiency and is found mostly in older people. For this purpose, people use either a supplement that is taken by mouth or a gel that is applied inside the nose.
Vitamin B12 is also used for memory loss; Alzheimer's disease; boosting mood, energy, concentration and the immune system; and slowing aging. It is also used for heart disease, lowering high homocysteine levels (which may contribute to heart disease), male infertility, diabetes, sleep disorders, depression, mental disorders, weak bones (osteoporosis), swollen tendons, AIDS, inflammatory bowel disease, asthma, allergies, a skin disease called vitiligo, preventing cervical and other cancers, and skin infections.
Some people use vitamin B12 for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease), multiple sclerosis, preventing the eye disease age-related macular degeneration (AMD), Lyme disease and gum disease. It is also used for ringing in the ears, bleeding, liver and kidney disease, and for protection against the poisons and allergens in tobacco smoke.
Vitamin B12 is applied to the skin either alone or in combination with avocado oil for psoriasis and eczema.
Vitamin B12 is frequently used in combination with other B vitamins in various vitamin B complex products.
How does it work?
Vitamin B12 is required for the proper function and development of the brain, nerves, blood cells, and many other parts of the body.
VITAMIN B12 Uses & Effectiveness
Effective for:
- Inherited Vitamin B12 deficiency (Imerslund-Grasbeck disease). Injecting vitamin B12 as a shot for 10 days followed by monthly injections for the remainder of life is effective for treating people with an inherited disease that results in poor absorption of vitamin B12.
- Pernicious anemia. Injecting vitamin B12 as a shot, as well as taking through the nose or by mouth, is effective for treating low red blood cell counts caused by poor absorption of vitamin B12.
- Vitamin B12 deficiency. Taking vitamin B12 by mouth, through the nose, or as a shot is effective for treating vitamin B12 deficiency.
Likely Effective for:
- Cyanide poisoning. Administering hydroxocobalamin (Cyanokit), a natural form of vitamin B12, as a shot for a total dose of up to 10 grams is likely an effective treatment for cyanide poisoning. Treatment of cyanide poising with hydroxocobalamin (Cyanokit) has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
- High level of homocysteine in the blood (Hyperhomocysteinemia). Taking vitamin B12 by mouth, along with folic acid and sometimes pyridoxine (vitamin B6), can lower blood levels of homocysteine.
Possibly Effective for:
- An eye disease called age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Some research shows that taking vitamin B12 with other vitamins, including folic acid and vitamin B6, might help prevent an eye disease called age-related macular degeneration.
Possibly Ineffective for:
- Sleep disorders. Taking vitamin B12 by mouth does not seem to help people with sleep disorders.
- Mental function. Taking vitamin B12, alone or in combination with folic acid and vitamin B6, does not seem to improve memory, language, or the ability to organize and plan in elderly people.
- Stroke. Research suggests that people who consume more vitamin B12 in their diet or those who take vitamin B12 supplements do not have a reduced risk of stroke or stroke reoccurrence.
Insufficient Evidence for:
- Alzheimer's disease. Early research suggests that higher vitamin B12 intake does not seem to prevent Alzheimer's disease.
- Preventing re-blockage of blood vessels after heart artery dilation (balloon angioplasty). Research is inconsistent about the benefits of taking folic acid plus vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 following angioplasty. Some research suggests that it might decrease the risk of re-blockage of the blood vessels after balloon angioplasty. However, it does not seem to benefit people who had a tube (coronary stent) placed in the arteries.
- Eczema (atopic dermatitis). Early research shows that applying a vitamin B12 cream (Regividerm) to the affected area twice daily helps treat eczema.
- Breast cancer. There is no evidence that dietary vitamin B12 alone reduces the risk of breast cancer. However, vitamin B12 may reduce the risk of breast cancer when taken with folate, vitamin B6, and methionine.
- Canker sores. Early research shows that taking vitamin B12 1000 mcg under the tongue (sublingually) might help reduce the number of canker sore outbreaks, the duration of outbreaks, and pain caused by the canker sores.
- Cervical cancer. Early research suggests that different forms of vitamin B12 taken together with a thiamine derivative (benfotiamine) and vitamin B6 might improve some symptoms of nerve pain associated with diabetes.
- Nerve damage caused by diabetes. Early research suggests that different forms of vitamin B12 taken together with a thiamine derivative (benfotiamine) and vitamin B6 might improve some symptoms of nerve pain associated with diabetes.
- Fatigue. There is some evidence that receiving shots containing 5 mg of vitamin B12 twice weekly might improve general well-being and happiness in people with fatigue.
- High triglyceride levels. Some evidence suggest that taking 7.5 mcg of vitamin B12 together with 5 grams of fish oil might be more effective then fish oil alone when used daily to reduce total cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
- Lung cancer. Early evidence suggests that there is no relationship between levels of vitamin B12 in the blood and the risk of lung cancer.
- Psoriasis. Early research shows that a specific cream containing vitamin B12 and avocado oil (Regividerm, Regeneratio Pharma AG) reduces symptoms of psoriasis as effectively as standard care and causes less irritation.
- Shaky-leg syndrome. There are some reports that one form of vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) can help reduce tremors due to shaky-leg syndrome.
- Allergies.
- Aging.
- Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).
- Diabetes.
- Heart disease.
- Lyme disease.
- Immune system problems.
- Memory problems.
- Multiple sclerosis.
- Other conditions.
VITAMIN B12 Side Effects & Safety
Vitamin B12 is LIKELY SAFE for most people when taken by mouth, applied to the skin, taken through the nose, or administered as a shot..
Mild itching has been reported in one person who used a specific avocado oil plus vitamin B12 cream for psoriasis.
Special Precautions & Warnings:Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Vitamin B12 is LIKELY SAFE for pregnant or breast-feeding women when taken by mouth in the amounts recommended. The recommended amount for pregnant women is 2.6 mcg per day. Breast-feeding women should take no more than 2.8 mcg per day. Don't take larger amounts. The safety of larger amounts is unknown.
High numbers of red blood cells (polycythemia vera): The treatment of vitamin B12 deficiency can unmask the symptoms of polycythemia vera.
Abnormal red blood cells (megaloblastic anemia): Megaloblastic anemia is sometimes corrected by treatment with vitamin B12. However, this can have very serious side effects. Don't attempt vitamin B12 therapy without close supervision by your healthcare provider.
Leber's disease, a hereditary eye disease: Do not take vitamin B12 if you have this disease. It can seriously harm the optic nerve, which might lead to blindness.
Allergy or sensitivity to cobalt or cobalamin: Do not use vitamin B12 if you have this condition.
Post-surgical stent placement: Avoid using a combination of vitamin B12, folate, and vitamin B6 after receiving a coronary stent. This combination may increase the risk of blood vessel narrowing.
VITAMIN B12 Interactions
Major Interaction Do not take this combination
- Chloramphenicol interacts with VITAMIN B12
Vitamin B12 is important for producing new blood cells. Chloramphenicol might decrease new blood cells. Taking chloramphenicol for a long time might decrease the effects of vitamin B12 on new blood cells. But most people only take chloramphenicol for a short time so this interaction isn't a big problem.
VITAMIN B12 Dosing
The following doses have been studied in scientific research:
The typical general supplemental dose of vitamin B12 is 1-25 mcg per day.
The recommended dietary allowances (RDAs) of vitamin B12 are: Infants 0-6 months, 0.4 mcg; infants 7-12 months, 0.5 mcg; children 1-3 years, 0.9 mcg; children 4-8 years, 1.2 mcg; children 9-13 years, 1.8 mcg; older children and adults, 2.4 mcg; pregnant women, 2.6 mcg; and breast-feeding women, 2.8 mcg. Because 10% to 30% of older people do not absorb food-bound vitamin B12 efficiently, those over 50 years should meet the RDA by eating foods fortified with B12 or by taking a vitamin B12 supplement. Supplementation of 25-100 mcg per day has been used to maintain vitamin B12 levels in older people.
- For vitamin B12 deficiency or pernicious anemia: cyanocobalamin doses of 300-10,000 mcg (microgram) daily have been used. However, some evidence suggests that the most effective oral dose is between 647-1032 mcg/day.
- For high blood levels of homocysteine: vitamin B12 500 mcg in combination with 0.5-5 mg folic acid and 16.5 mg pyridoxine has been used.
- For preventing age-related macular degeneration (AMD): vitamin B12 1 mg, folic acid 2.5 mg, and pyridoxine 50 mg daily has been studied.
- For atopic dermatitis (eczema): a specific vitamin B12 0.07% cream (Regividerm) applied twice daily has been used.
- For psoriasis: a specific cream (Regividerm, Regeneratio Pharma AG, Wuppertal, Germany) containing avocado oil plus vitamin B12 0.7 mg/gram applied for 12 weeks twice daily has been used.

Wine drinkers from around the world love the whites from the Alsace region of France due to the rather unique character and depth-of-flavor they have. Many regions try and copy them but they're never truly equaled – Alsace's terroir and history help that region produce some of the most complex white wines you'll find anywhere and Hugel has been producing wines there since the 1600s.
Before I get into this, I really want to stress how important – here in America – it is to have quality importers. Frederick Wildman and Sons out of New York are one of this nation's great importers and have been bringing us all great wines for a long time. Generally speaking, if you see their label on an imported wine, you know it's going to be good – so seek them out and make sure you support them when you can as we should all endeavor to help support those who support our desire to drink kick-ass wines.
2007 Hugel Riesling – W.E.P. Rating: 100%
Technical Data:
- Region: Alsace
- Grapes: 100% Riesling
- Alcohol: 12%
- Enclosure: DIAM Corks
- Price: $20
Nose: Sourpatch candy, a musty old leather-bound book w/ that sour leather smell. Sort of like one that's been stuck inside an old locker up in the attic for 20years or more.
Taste: Green apples with grapefruit for days – Stellar acidity across the mid-palate which does a nice job of cleaning your tongue with some blue-stone and flint overtones. Good finish on this wine – a total winner of a pick for shellfish or sea bass.
2007 Gentil "Hugel" – W.E.P. Rating: 120%
Technical Data:
- Region: Alsace
- Grapes: Gewurztraminer, Muscat, Pinot Gris, Riesling and Sylvaner
- Alcohol: 12.5%
- Enclosure: DIAM Corks
- Price: $20
Nose: Classic alsace with that nice blue-stone and flintiness. I get some gorgeous notes of pineapple, lemon peel and chalk dust.
Taste: This is where Alsace gets me – just about every time. The initial attack on teh palate is almost overwhelming (in a good way). It has a certain muskiness to it that I enjoy on an epic scale. As I sip this I'm taken away to a mental image of sitting up in a mountainous chalet, over-looking a valley of spring blossoms with a river flowing through it. Sound corney? Perhaps, but it's how I roll and it's what this wine is doing to me. If you've never experienced alsace, then you seriously need to try this wine.

Congrats to Alena, Kanako and Caro, I enjoyed all three performances!
You know, I'm about as pro-American as you could get, but I think the scoring for Wagner was more or less fair. 56, maybe high 57 at best. Not only did she miss the combo, she didn't have the attack/control that was present at Nationals and 4CCs. That performance didn't announce to the world, "I'm here, I came to win and you BETTER take me seriously." She did that at 4CCs.
Ugh, this is so frustrating though. I can't be too mad at Wagner- at least she tried after she made the mistake- but Czisny, just....fhdjkasdlfdkjaklsk!!!!!!!
I agree that Alene will probably hold on to medal, and that Caro has been held up quite often. However, Caro has always had the politics on her side plus some well-choreographed programs this year, never mind a lot of "It" girl factor from her looks, and her speed, and the length of time she's been on the scene (Buzz this year from fans, politics, etc.) I think it truly helped Caro when she came to the U.S. to train briefly under Frank Carroll. Caro also seems to have confidence going for her (witness her humorous reaction at messing up slightly in the sp), but I agree that it is somewhat scandalous that Caro has been able to get away (and others too) with not actually doing all the basic jumps.
Somewhere in Japan, Miki is kicking herself for sitting out this season...
I'm very sad for Alissa. She is just not a competitor; she can skate great in practice and warm-up but is just too inconsistent. I'm not optimistic for her in the LP either, given that she really had no pressure at the last competition and still bombed. She still has a lot of pressure because there is a chance she could go clean and secure 3 spots for the US. If she was in 23rd then I'd say, yeah, no pressure.
I'm also anxious to hear from the ladies about the ice quality. I know if was a problem for many pairs and maybe we saw a lot of pops and doubles because skaters couldn't get good footing. If so, I'm really worried for the men, who have to do 3A's and quads.
Hope the skating gods would be kind to Akiko for the free skate!
not at all what I expected ...
I don't understand how people are still talking 3 spots for US. Give it up, it's over. Czisny is SIXTEENTH for crying out loud...If she lays a miracle she can perhaps pull up to 10th but what are the odds? Numerous mistakes in EVERY FS she's skated this season, and dare I say, if we've got Challenge Cup Czisny on our hands, she could even drop further in the standings!
As for Wagner, I'm slightly more optimistic that she can make up ground, since she tends to be a freeskater. At her best, I see her pulling up to 4th or 5th...and if crazy things happen, I wouldn't even rule out 3rd. But top 2 is definitely out of the question.

Kan. has higher than average skin cancer rate
Kansas has 9 percent more new melanoma cases than national avg.
As a state with a large number of outdoor workers, Kansas has a problem with skin cancer.
The Hutchinson News reports that a 2009 study by the Center for Disease Control shows that more than a million people in the United States have been diagnosed with skin cancer. That makes it the most common cancer.
Kansas has 9 percent more new melanoma cases than the national average. About 80 Kansans die from skin cancer every year.
Bill Heer has had several suspicious spots removed from his arms, including a few that were pre-melanoma skin cancer. The former head agronomist at Kansas State's South-Central Kansas Research Field recalls burning often while growing up on a farm in the 1950s and 1960s.
Experts say those early burns put people at risk.

A Springville man was charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated after he crashed his car in Concord early Wednesday, Erie County Sheriff's officials said.
The crash, which involved just one car, occurred just before 1 a.m. at the corner of Genesee and Transit Line Road.
The driver, Joshua W. Moroge, 25, was not injured. But a breath test indicated his blood alcohol content was .20 percent, two and a half times the legal limit. The charge against him was raised to aggravated DWI because his BAC was over .18 percent.
Moroge was also charged with narcotics possession and multiple traffic infractions. He was released on appearance tickets.

LOCKPORT – Police Chief Lawrence M. Eggert and other city officials met with residents of the city's "impact zone" Thursday, as the third weekly report on the results of the crackdown showed there were almost as many arrests in the past week as in the previous two weeks of action.
The data showed 18 arrests since Jan. 31, after a total of 19 in the prior two weeks in the zone, bounded by South Transit, Erie, High and Walnut streets.
The arrests included one robbery, one grand larceny and one possession of stolen property. There were four drug arrests, three of them for marijuana possession.
In all, the 18 people arrested were charged with a total of 38 offenses.
Mayor Michael W. Tucker declared the impact zone Jan. 18 in the wake of two shootings and a spike in other crime in the area centered on Washburn Street.
The audience of about 30 in Refuge Temple on Cottage Street applauded when Eggert read the three-week totals: 37 arrests with a total of 82 charges, 255 traffic stops and 184 parking tickets.
Eggert said the city opted for publicity of its efforts so even the criminals would know what was happening.
"We could have gone in and arrested a lot of people for a couple of weeks and gotten it down quickly," Eggert acknowledged.
He said people arrested have told police that the major drug dealers have moved out of the impact zone. That didn't hurt Eggert's feelings.
"Most of the people we're dealing with, the serious, hardcore criminals, are from Rochester, Buffalo, Niagara Falls," the police chief said.
He said there's a chance that the criminals might move to other parts of Lockport but, as Tucker noted at the Jan. 18 news conference, the impact zone can move, as well.
"We're going to start looking at other areas of the city," Eggert said. "A month from now, it might be West Avenue or the north end."
Eggert promised the audience that foot patrols, including some with the city's police dog, will be seen when the weather moderates.
Many in the audience were landlords, who were promised by Pastor Mark Sanders of Refuge Temple, who also works for the police as a community liaison, that the police will hold a "landlord school" this spring to help them find legal ways to keep out bad tenants.
"We've lived through the drugs and the guns and the [federal Drug Enforcement Administration] breaking down doors," said Linda Roth, who since 1996 has lived near the corner of Genesee and Locust streets. "That corner has cleaned up. I'm not seeing the guns and I'm not seeing the drugs that I did five years ago."

Anthony J. Folino, a Wheatfield auto shop owner, has what a judge called a "history" of run-ins with local police agencies.
Sgt. Cory T. Diez of the Niagara County Sheriff's Office has been sued twice by people he arrested – one of whom he shot – but he won both cases.
The two found each other on Thanksgiving weekend 2011, leading to Folino's arrest on charges that were later dropped.
Last week, Folino filed an $18 million lawsuit in State Supreme Court, accusing Diez and two other deputies of injuring him as he tried to get them to leave his auto repair business in Wheatfield. The deputies said Folino was argumentative and aggressive.
Folino's attorney is Steven M. Cohen, who lost a case against Diez in U.S. District Court in 2009. Now he's back with another case against Diez, whom Cohen called "a loose cannon."
Diez wrote in his report about the Nov. 26, 2011, incident that he immediately recognized Folino because of "past complaints over my 15-year career."
The situation arose when a passer-by called police shortly after 6 p.m. to report an open door but no lights on at Folino Motors on Cayuga Drive Extension in Wheatfield. The lawsuit says the door was open because the business was open.
Two state troopers arrived on the scene first, and according to a report by Sheriff's Deputy Timothy A. Caughel, who soon arrived to help, Folino refused more than a dozen times to show identification so police could be sure he was the business owner.
"This is not the Mexican border. I do not need to show you ID. I know my rights, and I am an informed citizen," Caughel quoted Folino as saying.
Or, as the lawsuit puts it, Folino "calmly explained that he was not going to produce identification and requested that the state trooper leave the facility."
Folino demanded to talk to a supervisor, so Caughel called Diez.
"Folino kept yelling at Sgt. Diez [that] he knows his constitutional rights and they were being violated and that the police never should have been called to his business," Caughel wrote. "Sgt. Diez informed Folino that all he had to do was show police some type of identification, and the deputies and troopers would have left."
The lawsuit asserts that Diez said "he believed [Folino] should have been arrested, handcuffed and thrown inside of a squad car." Folino said there was no probable cause for an arrest, and Diez replied that "he was no longer going to look after [Folino's] business."
Caughel said Diez announced that all the officers were leaving, but Folino followed them, still yelling, so Diez said if Folino didn't want police to come to his business anymore, he could call and say so.
"Folino upon hearing this began yelling louder and got within approximately six inches of Sgt. Diez's face," Caughel wrote. "Folino's hands were clenched into fists, his neck veins were visibly protruding from his neck, and he squared off to Sgt. Diez in a fighting stance."
Diez wrote that he felt threatened.
But the lawsuit asserts that Diez shoved Folino in the chest, causing him to stumble over a car lift and spin around. Diez then shoved him again, causing him to collide with the vehicle shoulder-first, the lawsuit says.
He was charged with second-degree obstructing governmental administration and resisting arrest, but the lawsuit says the District Attorney's Office dropped the charges in February.
Folino has had several arrests for being uncooperative with police. He filed suit in 2007 over a struggle with a Town of Niagara policeman after a 2004 traffic stop. The two sides reaches a settlement in that case in 2011. Folino had pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct.
Charges filed against Folino by the same Town of Niagara policeman in 2009 were dismissed.
In November 2007, Diez shot Michael J. Rew in the abdomen on the front porch of Rew's Town of Niagara home, after a newspaper delivery person called to report Rew was sitting on the porch with a shotgun at his side. Diez reported he thought Rew was reaching for the gun as he came up, so he fired.
Rew, who reportedly incurred more than $100,000 in medical bills, was charged with menacing a police officer, but the indictment was dismissed, and a second grand jury refused to indict Rew.
He sued Diez in 2008, but in September, State Supreme Court Justice Ralph A. Boniello III threw out the case because Diez's actions were reasonable under the circumstances. Rew is appealing that ruling.

About 1,200 people lost power after a rollover crash in Hooksett on Monday morning.
Police said the accident happened just before 9:30 a.m. at 1180 Hooksett Road. A Honda SUV rolled over and knocked out power lines.
Witnesses broke the windows of the vehicle to get the driver out.
The witnesses said the woman had to be restrained because she was distraught that her dog, a brindle pit bull, took off after the crash. The dog is still missing.
There was no word on injuries. Utility officials said power is expected to be restored around 2 p.m.

House Passes Improving Access to Clinical Trials Act
The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Improving Access to Clinical Trials Act (HR 2866) on September 23rd. The legislation, which passed the Senate on August 5th, now goes to the White House where President Obama is expected to sign it.
Current rules regarding eligibility for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) prevent many people with rare diseases who receive SSI from participating in clinical trials. The inability of SSI beneficiaries to accept research compensation for participation in a clinical trial has been shown to be a significant deterrence to research participation.
S 1674/HR 2866 changes the eligibility requirements for SSI and Medicaid so that compensation of up to $2,000 for participating in clinical trials won't be considered income in SSI and Medicaid determinations. Passage of S 1674/HR 2866 shows the importance of participating in the legislative process by contacting your Congressional Members. Visit the IMF Legislative Action Center at www.advocacy.myeloma.org to send a thank you letter to your Congressional Members for passing this important legislation.
Congress Passes Continuing Resolution Before Leaving Town for Mid-Term Elections
Both the House of Representatives and the Senate will pass a Continuing Resolution (CR) that would allow the federal government to continue functioning, largely at current spending levels, until lawmakers rejoin the battle over fiscal year (FY) 2011 appropriations after the November elections. The CR runs through December 3rd and is a "clean" resolution, meaning no extras (i.e. amendments or other funding add-ons), to ensure passage in both Chambers. Congress has not cleared any of its 12 regular spending bills for the budget year that starts October 1st. Congress is expected to continue debate on FY 2011 appropriations when they return on November 15th.

Simple. Then vs. now. "Then" was when it was about actually people and jobs. "Now" it's about "political worth and power".

The Lancaster man who struck and killed a Depew teenager as she waited at a village bus stop has been charged with reckless driving and three traffic violations in the July incident.
Radames Candelaria, 35, was arraigned Wednesday afternoon in Depew Village Court on the misdemeanor count, as well as speeding, failure to keep right and driving on a sidewalk, after an Erie County grand jury did not indict him on more serious charges in the death of Ashley Creighton, 18.
Candelaria told police investigators, and The Buffalo News in a recent interview, that he lost control of his sport utility vehicle and went off the road, crashing into Creighton and, later, a pizzeria on the other side of the road, after falling asleep at the wheel.
"Our position, and it has been his from day one, is that this was an accident and not criminal conduct," Thomas J. Eoannou, Candelaria's attorney, said following the arraignment before Village Justice Gordon Willis.
The crash occurred July 30, as Candelaria was driving home on Broadway following an overnight work shift.
Creighton, a Depew High School senior, was waiting on the north side of Broadway near South Kokomo Street to catch a bus for a doctor's appointment that morning.
Candelaria's SUV drove onto the sidewalk and smashed into Creighton, killing her instantly, before drifting across to the other side of Broadway and smashing into Penora's Pizza.
He told police investigators he didn't remember anything about the crash until he woke up after his SUV came to a halt in the restaurant.
Candelaria told The News that he had a low level of methadone in his system, part of his treatment for a heroin addiction, but not enough to impair his driving. Candelaria has a lengthy history of minor crimes, which he blamed on his former drug habit, but said in the interview he has been clean since the birth of his oldest daughter three years ago.
Eoannou emphasized Candelaria's cooperation with investigators and his remorse for Creighton's death.
Police never charged Candelaria, and Erie County District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III opted to submit the evidence in the case for review by a grand jury. Because grand jurors didn't indict on a more serious charge, the case was returned to Village Court.
Candelaria was scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday morning, but he did not show up to court and Willis issued a bench warrant at the request of prosecutor Kelley A. Omel.
"This case did result in the death of a young girl," Omel said at the morning hearing.
Candelaria contacted the court later in the morning, and Eoannou blamed the lapse on a miscommunication.
Willis set bail at $7,500 bond or $2,500 cash. Candelaria next must appear in court Jan. 16.

Why is My Computer So Slow When My Life is So Fast?
Is your computer running slow? Do you spend more time waiting in front of your computer than you do connected to your social network? If you're saddled to a slow PC, the answer to your problems may be simpler than you imagined. It's almost the same scenario as wondering why your arm is so sore if you're still using a mobile phone from the 1990s!
How to Speed Up Your Slow PC
Fortunately, there are a number of things you can do to increase your computer's speed:
- Regularly perform virus scans and remove spyware.
- Perform a disk cleanup to free up space on your hard drive.
- Defragment your computer's disk.
- Upgrade to a newer operating system.
It's important to remember that although there are plenty of program fixes and memory increases you can add to your slow computer, if it's an older model, there's a limit to what it can do.
You Get Performance and Savings with a New Computer
If you're still asking yourself, "Why is my computer so slow?", after performing the steps listed above, maybe it's time to start shopping for a new computer. Instead of spending money on costly repairs and add-ons, how would you like to have both a super fast laptop and energy-efficient tablet in one lightweight, stylish device? And if you'd like a device that's also affordable and capable of protecting your personal information with a top-notch security system1 then the cure is here, once and for all: the Ultrabook™.
With a New Ultrabook or Laptop You Get Speed and Mobility
Instant gratification isn't a bad thing when you want to be connected to friends and family or when you need a computer that's ready to go when you are. That's why the Ultrabook boasts both Intel® Rapid Start Technology2 and Intel® Smart Connect Technology3. What does that mean for you? The answer's simple. You're up and running in under 7 seconds, with constant updates from your email, social network, news, and favorite apps; and all on one device that weighs less than 4 pounds and is thinner than an inch! How's that for speed and mobility?
Plus, with all-day battery life and built-in Intel® Anti-Theft Technology4, you're ready to go and protected no matter where you are or what you're doing. Now you can save both time and money with an Intel®-powered device that's designed around your life—both at work and at play.
Speed and Efficiency You Can Feel… and Touch!
Think about how much more content you view on a daily basis after you first hooked up your PC. If you own a smartphone or have used any self-service kiosks lately then you already know the speed of touchscreen technology. And guess what? You can have multi-touch capability on an Ultrabook5, laptop, and even all-in-one PC. With a tap, flick, and rotation, you're able to sort through and coordinate everything from pages and pages of content to your favorite photo and music collections.
If you enjoy uncluttered spaces then consider the All-in-One PC with a plug-and-play advantage, a wireless keyboard, and a mouse as standard equipment. Watch as your corner workspace instantly transforms into an elegant centerpiece of living and style!

Tuesday proved a sad day for Miley Cyrus, who announced on Twitter that her dog Lila had passed away.
"For everyone asking ... I have never been so hurt in my life," she wrote Tuesday. "My heart has never been so broken..... Lila my sweet baby girl has passed away."
Although the recently engaged Cyrus, 20, didn't elaborate on her cause of death, the Yorkie was hospitalized in October for unknown causes.
The avid dog lover has four other rescues with fiancé Liam Hemsworth: Ziggy, Floyd, Mary Jane and Happy. Just last month, she supported sister Noah in adopting a mutt puppy named Penny Lane.
"Can't think of one good reason to get out of bed today," Cyrus Tweeted earlier, presumably alluding to Lila, whom she posted a picture of in a doggy sweater less than two weeks ago.
Lila first joined the Cyrus household in 2011, and she's been family ever since.
"I think Lila must be an angel," the singer Tweeted in April.

PFS Rapid Review – The Great Beauty
By Davis Rivera
Oscar Wilde once said, "The greatest men fail, or seem to have failed." Paolo Sorrentino's film The Great Beauty shows us such a man. In a film so extravagantly shot, the profound sadness buried beneath the haughty exterior of 65-year-old protagonist Jep Gambardella can easily be overlooked. However, the film itself cannot be and its onslaught of dazzling images, running the gamut from nuns to giraffes to dwarves, begs to be seen in a theatre.
