The Diabetes education outpatient program is designed to give you
the education tools needed to promote a healthier lifestyle, improve your blood
sugar control, and ultimately decrease your risk of diabetes complications.
Lee Diabetes Care offers a variety of outpatient education programs
designed to meet your individual needs. Our most comprehensive program consists
of 10 hours of education followed by quarterly individual follow-up. Lee
Diabetes Care also offers a Pregnancy and Diabetes education program, a
pre-diabetes education class, and individual consultations. All education
programs are physician referred. To be referred into one of our programs, it's
easy! Just ask your physician for the referral and their office will take it
from there.
Comprehensive Diabetes Education Program
A 10 hour comprehensive course taught several times a month by our
diabetes educators. Classes are held at Lee Memorial Hospital, Cape Coral
Hospital, HealthPark Medical Center, and Gulf Coast Medical Center. We offer
morning, afternoon and evening classes. The key patient education topics taught
during our comprehensive education program are as follows:
Blood glucose management
Physical activity
Behavior Change
Once you complete the 10 hour program, our diabetes educators will
meet with you quarterly to track your progress and assist you with any diabetes
management concerns that you have.
This program is a covered benefit of Medicare (certain criteria
apply. Additionally, most HMO, PPO and commercial insurances will cover the cost as
Pregnancy and Diabetes Program
If you have diabetes and become pregnant or are diagnosed with
Gestational Diabetes, our diabetes educator team is ready to provide you with
the tools needed to control your blood sugars throughout the pregnancy. Good
blood sugar control is essential for the health of you and your unborn baby. The
Gestational Diabetes program consists of a 2 hour initial class in which we will
instruct you on how to follow a healthy meal plan, test your blood sugars and
take any diabetes medication prescribed by your physician. This class has
frequent telephonic follow-up after class to assess your progress in managing
your diabetes during the pregnancy.
Pre Diabetes Class
Did you know that even with mildly elevated blood sugars, you are at
an increased risk for heart disease? If your doctor has told you that you have
Pre Diabetes or "borderline" diabetes, this class is for you! During this one
hour class, our diabetes educators will teach you the lifestyle changes
necessary to normalize your blood sugars and decrease your risk of developing
Type 2 diabetes.
Individual Consultation
Perhaps you have already completed a comprehensive diabetes
education program, but you need more education with one particular aspect of
diabetes management. Whether it is an insulin training, meal plan review, or
assistance with blood glucose monitoring, our team of outpatient diabetes
educators will provide you with this needed individual instruction.

Small, lightweight, and long-lasting, encourages an active lifestyle for long-term oxygen therapy patients. No tubes, heavy canisters or batteries are required. The system is also extremely economical. Its pneumatic oxygen conserving device gives it a conservation ratio over continuous flow oxygen of approximately 4:1. This provides up to 10 hours of use at a setting of 2. The portable unit can be refilled in about 40 seconds from the home reservoir, which typically lasts four to six weeks between refills.

The former Charleston County director of the Department of Social Services is suing the state agency, the agency head and three former coworkers, alleging that he was wrongfully fired this fall, court records show.
In the same lawsuit, Frank Oakley is also suing the department for defamation, violation of the South Carolina Whistleblower Law and civil conspiracy.
Oakley seeks more than $4.5 million in actual and punitive damages from the defendants, including DSS Director Lillian Koller. The lawsuit was filed in the Richland County Court of Common Pleas last month.
Court records show Oakley worked for the department from March 1987 to Sept. 13, 2013. He alleges that his termination letter offered no basis for the agency's decision to fire him.
"I know he's had an outstanding record with them," said Lewis Cromer, the Columbia attorney representing Oakley. "There's no evidence of any problem."
Cromer said his client was not available to be interviewed for this article and could not provide copies of his past performance evaluations.
A call placed to a department spokeswoman was not immediately returned.
The Department of Social Services denied a Freedom of Information Act request filed by The Post and Courier's to review Oakley's personnel records, but provided copies of several reports that show that the Charleston County DSS office was failing, in many cases, to keep children safe under Oakley's watch.
DSS said it is not clear that personnel records are public information, even though it has released similar information about employees in the past.
A July 2012 report shows that a review of 23 Charleston County DSS cases revealed several areas that needed improvement. Twenty of the 23 cases failed to meet at least one internal benchmark.
A May 2013 report indicates that "foster home assessments were missed for three months," and "risk and safety issues related to the mother missing medical appointments and failing to protect her children from sexual abuse by a former paramour were not addressed."
The reports show that other county-level DSS offices were also failing to reach some of these benchmarks and Oakley's lawsuit states, "Charleston County DSS maintained comparable data to other counties in South Carolina."
Cromer said the reports provided by DSS are false, alleging that Director Koller "made up a lot of things to get rid of him."
"He was an outstanding county leader and nobody ever said he wasn't except Ms. Koller and her minions," Cromer said. "It will all come out in court."
The state Department of Social Services is charged with "ensuring the safety of children and adults who cannot protect themselves." It also administers several safety net programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), commonly called the food stamp program.

The hardest part about gardening is deciding what to plant.
When I open the pages of a new seed catalog, the first things I see are colorful photos of luscious looking flowers and vegetables that I'm sure were enhanced to tempt me into buying. Will my flowers and vegetables look that good, I wonder? I've gardened enough over the years to believe that some actually do and some actually don't, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to place a big order. What prompts my decision to buy?
It can be several things. In some cases, I simply choose a plant because of its name.
Sometimes I run across a plant that reminds me of someone, so I will buy the seeds, start them growing and then gift them to my friends. It is fun for me because nothing is better than giving gifts and I get to grow something new. This year I have my eye on the 'Carmelita' tomato for personal reasons.
But the "something new" is probably the real enticement for choosing certain plants. I love growing new things, whether it is that failed attempt at growing jicama or casting off all warnings from the husband that the giant pumpkin vines will ultimately take over the yard, thus making his mowing a bit inconvenient. I don't particularly care for cucumbers, but I grow them anyway because it's so much fun.
This summer I've got my eye on shell beans. I've grown them before, years ago, and remember the tedious time spent separating the dried beans from the pods at summer's end, but what I grew were simple kidney, great northern and butter (Lima) beans.
This year I'm thinking of planting beans with names like Coco Rubico, a red mottled bean from France; Italian Red; and purple speckled Jackson Wonder Lima beans. This year, I believe, will be the year of beans.
Of course, I also choose my seeds based on what I've grown in the past. I might go for kohlrabi, something we never ate until I decided one year I wanted to try it in the garden.
But my choices aren't limited to the vegetable garden. I've also had my eye on blossoms of a new hollyhock called Apricot-Peach Parfait as well as a dwarf "knee-high" version of sweet peas called Jack & Jill.
This winter, while the snow is piled several inches high at the end of the driveway, it is refreshing to browse through those catalogs to get summer gardening ideas.

Exciting news! Deadline.com just reported that Marion Cotillard together with Joaquin Phoenix and possibly Jeremy Renner will star in writer/director James Gray's next movie called 'Low Life'. With all the actors currently being busy shooting is scheduled to begin next year. What is it about?
Marion Cotillard will play a woman attempting to immigrate from Poland. Her American dream turns into a nightmare. While sailing to Ellis Island and a new start, her sister grows deathly ill and she is forced to trade sexual favors for medicine and food to keep her sister alive. Once they land, she is warned to keep quiet about what happened. Though she does, she walks away with immigration papers that deem her a woman with bad morals. With no place to go, she falls prey to a charming sleazebag (Phoenix), who persuades her to turn tricks in New York. Renner is close to signing on to play the sleazebag's cousin, a magician who sweeps the young woman off her feet and is her best chance to escape the nightmarish life she has fallen into.
7 Responses to "New project: 'Low Life'"
Sounds like her first starring role in the U.S.
The Dark Knight RIses will give her enough name recognition to make this film (with its two other acclaimed actors) have a lot of Oscar potential and hype.Jun 01, 11 at 6:28 am
holy cow, this is AMAZING! as brett said, it sounds like marion's first STARRING role. it's about time! i am extremely excited about this new development; the film and role certainly has some oscar potential for marion, though one never really knows (especially this early on).Jun 01, 11 at 1:21 pm
(ah, and by "starring", i meant her first starring/lead role in an american film)Jun 01, 11 at 1:21 pm
As other comments say; this may be the first leading role for marion. I don't know if this sounds for prices, but it could be!!
Really happy!^^
It sounds AMAZING! I was waiting for this, even tough this synopsis doesn't really attract my attention at first sight. But, if Marion is involved in the project, i'm sure it would be a good film. I trust in her choices.Jun 01, 11 at 8:51 pm
I agree with most posters on this new project for Marion. I am certainly very pleased that she'll be leading actor/actress in an American film. I have to commend both Marion and her PR team for picky worthy roles.Jun 01, 11 at 9:49 pm
Second time she would play a Polish immigrant after the Sophie Kowalsky role (2nd generation then) in Love me if you dare!Jun 10, 11 at 2:34 pm

• In this multicenter clinical series of peripheral laser-assisted balloon angioplasty with an argon laser-heated, metallic-capped fiberoptic, angiographic and clinical success was achieved in a total of 155 (71%) of 219 attempted lesions. When the anatomy of the lesion was subjectively categorized by the angiographer into those considered possible or impossible to treat by conventional balloon angioplasty, clinical success was achieved in 116 (78%) of 149 lesions considered possible to treat with balloon angioplasty (39 [95%] of 41 stenoses and 77 [71%] of 108 occlusions). More importantly, clinical success was achieved in 39 (56%) of 70 lesions considered impossible to treat by conventional means. The incidence of complications, including vessel perforation (4.1%), with this new technique was equal to that reported for conventional balloon angioplasty, decreased with operator experience, and was less than that reported for argon laser angioplasty with bare fiberoptics. Thus, laser thermal angioplasty with a laser-heated, metallic-capped fiberoptic is a safe procedure that is easily learned by physicians skilled in interventional techniques. It allows for nonsurgical treatment of lesions considered difficult or impossible to treat by conventional balloon angioplasty.

Thinking of doing a stop over in Japan Dec/Jan 207/2018 - going via Japan to New Zealand with NZ airlines - on the bucket list for 2 wrinklies!!
Want to see Narito/Hanenko/Kyoto and was thinking of remaining in Tokyo and doing day excursions even though they're long and expensive - Not into hiking/walking cable cars/ropeways excludes many of the Mt Fuji Haven't got the confidence to explore on our own given the language probs - just want to see and experience some of the culture - but definitely no reptiles/snakes as I've got a big phobia - don't mind doing a reasonable amount of walking. Looking at Viator & City Discovery Tours ? - used Viator before
We've also heard horror stories about the cost of living - so we thought that by booking hotels a year out on a free [cancellation basis we'd do a reasonable price - will only stay in hotels with ensuite, but what about food? Anything food that is simple and cheap would be acceptable - quite happy to eat in McDs for a few days to keep prices down
All suggestions much appreciated - know it's a long way off but there is so much planning to do which I will find loads of fun - hoping to slot in Singapore & Hong Kong - kids watch your inheritance disappear!!

Hi all! I will be traveling to Japan in February 2017 with family of 5 (no young kids, all adults). Osaka is our final destination but we will be flying in to Centrair Nagoya and flight will arrive past 8pm. I am thinking we will go straight to Osaka from the airport and the cheapest option seems to be the bus. The time spent on travel is not a concern since it's already late in the evening so there's no hurry to reach Osaka. I just want to ask those who have done this by bus. Is it a good option?
Also, do we need to travel to the city center before we can take the bus as I have read on the internet? Is there a bus at the airport that goes staright to Osaka?
I am exploring the best option to explore Sapporo city by subway and streetcar.
Below are the places I plan to go.
1. Hokkaido Jingu Shrine (From Susukino Subway Station to Maruyama Kouen Subway Station)
2. Odori Park (From Maruyama Kouen Subway Station to Odori Subway Station)
3. Tanukikoji Shopping Arcade (From Odori Subway Station to Susukino Subway Station)
4. Mt Moiwa (Streetcar return)
5. Back to hotel near Susukino Subway Station
Should I purchase the Donichika Ticket & Dosanko Pass below? Or should I use 共通 with you card, the Subwayenvironment (500, 1100, 3300, 5500, 11,500, child 1,100) (Including the Memorial design common with u card.) Which one is the best option? Thanks a lot.
Donichika Ticket (One-day Subway Pass for Weekends and Holidays) - Yen 520.00
Dosanko Pass (One-day Streetcar 市电 Pass for Weekends and Holidays) - Yen 310.00

My wife and I are spending seven days in Japan, the last week in October. We arrive at Tokyo Haneda early morning on 25 October and fly out of Fukuoka (to Seoul) on 1 or 2 November. In between we'd like to travel with a rail pass and visit Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara and Hiroshima, but we'd also like to see some unspoilt and perhaps less visited parts of Japan's countryside, assuming we would have time. Any suggested itineraries?
We have both been to Tokyo before, separately and briefly, but have not seen anything of the rest of the country.
Hi everyone, I will arrive Haneida airport very late evening almost 1am. Is there any public transit bus to the hotel in city centre?
Any budget hotels recommend to stay for 2 people
I am traveling to Japan for the first time with one friend in the first 2 weeks of April next year for cherry blossom season (we are both in our 30s FYI)
We are flying in/out of Tokyo and have 14 days in Japan. We want to do 4-5 days in Tokyo and 3-4 in Kyoto (with da trips) but open to other suggestions
Would love some ideas/suggestions for the following to help plan our trip
1) Tokyo recommendations (incl day trips outside of town)- not sure if too cold then to see Mt Fuji in April?
2) Kyoto recommendations (incl day trips outside of town)
3) Kanazawa - worth seeing?
4) Any ryokan suggestions for Tokyo/Kyoto ?
5) Hot Springs in or near Tokyo/Kyoto ?
6) Any other things we shouldn't miss?
How to spend 8 days in Kanto region for a repeat visitor. No temples please.
What are some nice hotels that are not costly?
Anybody heard of Daiichi hotel ryogoku ?
I'm looking at staying near Asakusabashi Station. Will be traveling from Haneda Airport and back.
I know that I can catch the Keikyu Airport Express from Haneda via Sengakuji to Asakusabashi Subway Station. I also know that there is an elevator at exit A1. However, I can't find the layout map for the Asakusabashi Subway Station. We will be lugging quite large luggage and won't choose this location if we need to lug them up any stairs within the station.
Would anyone have a link to the layout map, please?
Tq! Mel
What month would be your favorite time to explore some of Japan, Hong Kong & Macau?
We're thinking of about 3 weeks combined. Any month jump out at you more than the other?
We do like the Christmas season and snow but we aren't snowboarders/skiers.
Hi, i checked Accuweather. It states it will be rainy almost throughout September. Hasn't autumn arrived by 22 September?
Hi, i want to know whether Tokyo has issued any Travel Alert to foreign tourists that are planning to arrive in Narita and Haneda in view of Typhoon Malakas approaching Osaka and Tokyo.
May I know whether a rain jacket is advisable to be worn on Wednesday instead of buying a long stick umbrella in a Tokyo convenience store? Here in Singapore it costs around 150 SIngapore Dollars to buy a Marmot logo rain jacket. I will arrive in Narita on Wednesday 21 September morning before 12 pm.

Baseball Annies? Blanche Perry Trusts the Star in the Family, Gaylord
Blanche, also 40, found out what things would be like early on, when she drove herself to the hospital to have their first child while Gaylord pitched batting practice at the '62 World Series. They've continued in the same vein: Last February she was out on their North Carolina farm hunting a lost calf in a snowstorm while her husband talked sports with Jimmy Carter after being named to the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.
When school is out, Blanche and their children (Amy, 17; Beth, 15; Allison, 13; and Jack, 12) follow the peregrinating Gaylord—this year they have a rented condo in San Diego while he pitches for the Padres. The rest of the year the family tends 460 acres of soybeans, corn, peanuts and tobacco outside Williamston, N.C., hometown to both Gaylord and Blanche. When he is gone, she drives a tractor, shovels out the stables ("It's good for bust development") and tends five horses, 15 cows, three dogs and countless mousers. In her spare time she rides and reads. Sometimes she worries.
Her husband tries to help from the road. A typical call home goes: "Blanche, how is Allison's knee? Did Jack win his game? Tell Amy not to cut her hair till I get home. Why don't you get those allergy shots?" (Blanche's reply: "Healing. No. I'll try. Maybe later.")
As the wife of GAY-lerd (in North Carolina) Perry, Blanche is also responsible to Williamston, which claims him as a municipal treasure. Son of a tenant farmer, Gaylord and brother Jim worked in the fields as kids, pausing only for baseball practice tutored by their father, Evan, one of the best amateurs in the region. They made balls from rocks, yarn and tape and used oak roots for bats. Jim pitched for four major league teams before retiring in 1975; the Perrys have won more games than any brothers in baseball history (491 at last count).
Evan bought Gaylord his first real glove for $5.25 from Blanche's daddy, A. J. Manning, who owned the hardware store and later became a prosperous contractor. At Williamston High, young Perry made All-State in football, basketball and baseball, and while pro scouts courted him, he pursued schoolmate Blanche.
After graduation Blanche went on to Duke, then studied voice in New York, while Gaylord signed with the San Francisco Giants. They kept him in the minor leagues for five years. Meanwhile his down-home honey didn't forget him. "I fell in love with Gaylord at 17," she recalls. "After that, the boys at Duke and Carolina all seemed too preppy and young. With other men, I felt as if I was out with my sister or grandmother." She and Gaylord were married on Dec. 26, 1959 and honeymooned at the Dixie Classic Basketball Tournament in Raleigh.
After Gaylord was called up by the Giants in 1962, the Perrys lived near San Francisco until he was traded to Cleveland nine years later. (He has played for Texas, too.) In 1973 they went home to Williamston and built their ranch house. They also own another farm, which his dad works. "I wanted my children to share some of the experiences with nature that I had, like sleeping in a barn to nurse a sick cow and waking up with a deer nuzzling me through a window," says Gaylord.
Still, the boys of summer are rarely out of mind. "We're not merely committed to each other, we're deeply committed to baseball," says Blanche. It's just as well, since during the season Gaylord's adrenaline surges. "He starts yelling at the kids two days before he pitches," shrugs Blanche. "If he's the least bit mellow, they say, 'Mom, Daddy's gonna bomb.' "
Gaylord has won 276 games as a big-leaguer and is the only man to receive the Cy Young Award—for the year's best pitcher—in both leagues. He is notorious for his spitball, an illegal pitch that baffles hitters because the moisture (spit, sweat or grease) makes it behave unpredictably. Perry confessed in his 1974 book Me and the Spitter that he has used the pitch but pleads the Fifth on current tactics.
Blanche and the kids are equally mum. "I never asked him if he pitches the spitter," says Blanche. "I'm not sure I want to know." At 5, Allison Perry told a sportswriter that what he called a "greaseball" was "a hard slider."
"I've never questioned the fact that baseball comes first with Gaylord," says Blanche, "as long as the children and I remain second, not third or fourth." She says she's not concerned about "baseball Annies"—the groupies of the sport. Once while they were living near San Francisco, Blanche, eight and a half months pregnant, ran into a stewardess in their apartment house laundry room who asked, "I hear Gaylord Perry lives in this building; do you know where he might be?" Blanche answered, "Upstairs in my bed, honey."
Gaylord says life on the road gets no spicier than a glass of wine and baseball arguments, which he mostly wins. "After 20 years, they usually see it my way," he says. Not so the front office. Perry makes some $175,000 a year, not excessive by major league standards. "For years," he says, "when I approached the front office for a raise, I was told I was too young, unproved, unseasoned. Then all of a sudden I was too old."
Though a year ago Gaylord bought a cottage on nearby Duck Creek for hunting and fishing, he and son Jack have been there only once. (Born with a damaged arm, Jack now "throws and bats better than most kids his age," says Dad.) Gaylord collected 20 stitches in his pitching hand in February when a light bulb broke, and in May a line drive hit his arm. "I wonder if the Lord is trying to tell us something," frets Blanche, though she doubts Gaylord could quit the game cold. She'd like to see him go into management—"He knows too much about baseball to let it go untapped."
One local sage puts it differently. "I swigger," exclaims a Williamston old-timer, "his baseball heart is so tough that when it's time for him to die, they'll have to beat it to death with a stick, just like an old turtle."
That kind of romance about baseball is sometimes lost on Blanche. There are moments, she admits, when "I feel like I've been waiting in line for 20 years. Sometimes it's pure hell when tensions build and there's nobody to lean on. Often I can't bother him with problems because it might take his mind off his pitching." Being around younger players' wives and girlfriends gives her an "old complex," too.
"But I get over that each summer," she says, "and I realize how full my life is. I miss my music, and I'd love to ride more. But everybody gives up something. Builds character, I hear."

Hebephrenic Schizophrenia
Hebephrenic Schizophrenia is a type of Schizophrenia which is a mental disorder. This disorder is also known as disorganized Schizophrenia as its symptoms indicate a completely disorganized lifestyle of the sufferer. It is a prolonged disorder found in teenagers and youngsters below the age of 25.
Symptoms of disorganized schizophrenia include a completely strange childish behavior of the person. The person tends to react in an unrelated way like replying things which make absolutely no sense. They fall prey to things that are not true i.e. they start believing in things which are false. Along with delusions, the person might also have hallucinations.
The person is unable to express his/her feelings as they find communicating extremely difficult. They tend to laugh at absolutely nothing and might also become violent at times. Although, there are only a few cases where in the patient has hurt his/her family members. Childish behavior accompanied with a constant feeling of depression makes these people vulnerable to drinking, drugs, suicide, etc. The dressing and lost expression make these people distinguishable and they are eventually pushed away from the social affairs.
Just like any other form of schizophrenia, the exact cause of hebephrenic schizophrenia remains unknown. However, a family history of mental disorders increases the chances of a person to develop schizophrenia. Along with this, other environmental factors might also play a major role in development of this disorder. A mother who was infected with certain virus during child birth also increases the chances of that baby to develop mental disorders later on.
Methods of diagnosis
The family members and close friends are the first to notice strange behavior of a person suffering from this disorder. It becomes highly difficult for the family members to watch their loved one behave in strange manner. However, the family members must immediately consult a psychiatrist if they continue noticing such behavior for a month or so.
The psychiatrist first suggests getting the person's physical reports which include general health details like blood pressure, weight, temperature, etc. The laboratory tests include a Complete Blood Count, and thyroid test. Since people with this type of schizophrenia are more prone to drugs, alcohol, and smoking, they are screened for this. Sometimes consumption of high quantity of psychotic drugs might lead to schizophrenia in youngsters.
After evaluating the person on the basis of DSM which is the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the person is diagnosed with this disorder.
Support of family members, their love and care is the strongest factor which can aid treatment of a person suffering from disorganized schizophrenia. Psychotherapy includes sessions for both the patient as well as the family members. The patient is listened to which makes the patient feel better and is taught how to behave properly and how to respond normally to different situations. The family members on the other hand are taught methods to take care and handle the patient.
Sometimes, the hallucinations and delusions can make the patient highly depressed, which can cause him/her to become aggressive or attempt suicide. In such cases, when the situation is out of control of the family members, the patient is hospitalized for a few weeks. The patient might also be administered with Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) in which the patient is given electric currents to recover faster.
Along with all of the above therapies, the patient is also prescribed certain anti depressants and antipsychotic, which suppress the symptoms of schizophrenia. It is very important that the family members keep a close watch on the patient's activities. Only prescribed medications must be taken.
Hebephrenic Schizophrenia is not completely curable. The only thing, which a person can do, is to take proper treatment to keep the symptoms under control. Early treatment is more beneficial and there are more chances that the person can live a normal life instead of an aimless one. It is wise to introduce the patient to societies which are especially made for people suffering from schizophrenia.

They are known, for better or worse, as "The Turtle Ladies" on the Isle of Palms. But the nickname doesn't come close to describing the depth and breadth of the volunteer efforts that a half dozen women have done for sea turtles in the past 15 years.
Turtle nesting to date
On the beaches of South Carolina's barrier islands, the loggerhead (Caretta caretta) sea turtle nesting season is May through October.
From May to mid-August, loggerheads come ashore to deposit approximately 120 eggs in a nest cavity in the dry sand dune system. About 60 days later, loggerhead hatchlings emerge from the nest at night and head to the ocean.
Nests hatch from July through the end of October. During the nesting season, loggerheads may be disoriented by artificial lights, such as street lights, exterior lights from homes and even city skyline glow.
As of Wednesday, here are counts of known loggerhead nests from local beaches:
Cape Island: 741 nests.
Lighthouse Island: 269 nests.
Kiawah Island: 265 nests.
Botany Bay: 126 nests.
Edisto Beach State Park: 107 nests.
Edisto Town Beach: 73 nests.
Folly Beach: 71 nests.
Bull's Island: 50 nests.
Seabrook Island: 43 nests.
Isle of Palms: 26 nests.
Dewees Island: 12 nests.
Sullivan's Island: 3 nests.
Capers Island: 3 nests.
SOURCES: S.C. Department of Natural Resources and www.seaturtle.org
The women of the Island Turtle Team, Mary Pringle, Yardwarune "Tee" Johannes, Barbara Bergwerf, Bev Ballow, Mary Alice Monroe and Barb Gobien, have brought an array of talents, skills and interests to improving the odds of survival for loggerhead sea turtles, not only on the Isle of Palms and Sullivan's Island but around the world.
While the number of annual nests on the two islands pales in comparison to undeveloped Cape Island, these ladies have made celebrities of the nesting turtles on the Isle of Palms and Sullivan's Island.
Turtle stars
In the Southeast, many know the women from a South Carolina Educational Television, "The Turtle Ladies of Charleston County" as part of the Carolina Stories series, originally produced in 2008 and frequently re-aired.
Farther afield, people know about turtle conservation efforts though Monroe's books, notably "The Beach House" and "Turtle Summer," an award-winning children's book. Both have raised turtle-conservation awareness in the United States.
Monroe's five team members all attest to people saying they came to the Isle of Palms to see the sea turtles after reading "The Beach House," even when Monroe, unrecognized by the reader is among them working on a nest. They usually don't blow her cover.
"On the beach, I'm not Mary Alice Monroe, I'm Mary Alice," says the prolific author of more than a dozen books. "It's not about me. It's about the sea turtles."
Bergwerf, a former professional photographer, collaborated with Monroe on "Turtle Summer" and documents nesting and hatching as well as turtle rehabilitation efforts of the South Carolina Aquarium, on her "Carolina Sea Turtles" website (www.bergwerfgraphics.com) and the "Island Turtle Team of IOP & SI, South Carolina" Facebook page.
Pringle describes herself as a data collection geek and probably is the closest to being a ringleader of the group.
Berfwerf, Ballow and Gobien also volunteer at the aquarium hospital and respond to emergency strandings.
Kelly Thorvalson, the aquarium's sea turtle rescue program manager, says the aquarium has "hundreds of amazing volunteers" providing critical support to the program.
"Among the 24 Sea Turtle Rescue volunteers are several 'turtle ladies' that also protect sea turtle nests on the Isle of Palms," she says.
"Day or night, weekend or holiday, near or far, these ladies will do just about anything on a moment's notice to save these endangered species. We are incredibly fortunate to have them as part of our team."
All six of the core Turtle Ladies on the Isle of Palms help coordinate 120 volunteer beach walkers and are public relation agents and lobbyists for a creature that is 175 million years old and fighting great odds, from overfishing, pollution and plastic in seas, to survive.
All those efforts are in addition to their main work of safeguarding nests, usually by relocating ones at risk of being engulfed at high tide, making sure hatchlings make it to the sea on moonless nights and collecting data, including GPS locations of nests and DNA samples.
Foundation laid
That flowering of efforts, however, is due partly to the seeds that were sewn by the original island turtle ladies, Marge Millman and Mary Ellen Rogers.
They started in the decade following 1989's Hurricane Hugo when volunteer sea turtle efforts in South Carolina were in their infancy. Today, there are 22 different programs.
In the 1990s, Millman and Rogers both had experiences that made them realize that sea turtles laying eggs on islands inhabited by people needed help. Besides the volunteers who walked the beach during mornings looking for turtle tracks, they carried the load of a program.
Millman relocated many nests to the dunes in front of her beachfront house on the Isle of Palms so that she could keep a close eye on them and invited people to come to hatchings. Today's practices have moved away from that.
"I really liked the educational aspect of it," says Millman, who plans to move off the beachfront later this year but remain on the island.
Both Millman and Rogers, who retired to Oak Island, N.C., where she rehabilitates birds at her home, still feel like they have a part in today's Island Turtle Team efforts and follow them.
"I'm so delighted that it has continued," says Millman.
Rogers says she remains proud that she played a role in building the foundation of the Turtle Team.
"I don't want to be remembered as someone's mother, or someone's grandmother, or for making a living in real estate. I want to be remembered for being a turtle lady and a bird lady."
Sea turtle sisterhood
Of today's core group of six turtle ladies, all got their feet wet, err sandy, with Millman and Rogers. While Gobien wasn't part of the core until 2008, she volunteered with Millman in the 1990s.
Since 1998, the women also have formed a sisterhood that seems thicker than blood.
"We spend so much time together," says Pringle. "We see each other every day because we have nests every day ... For the last 15 years, we've been together daily and nightly in the summer time every season."
Even in the off-season, many of them travel to international and national sea turtle conferences.
Johannes, who is a native of Thailand and admittedly the most shy of the bunch, considers the women her sisters.
"My real sister is in Thailand, so these girls are my sisters," says Johannes. "We have the same interests and that we just happen to get along and our husbands get along."
The lure of turtles
The love of sea turtles, and wildlife in general, does bring together a common set of values of people, such as compassion for animals and a love and respect for diversity and beauty of the Earth.
Johannes recalls how her love of animals started with her upbringing.
"In the older days, Thai people used to eat freshwater turtles as normal food, but I didn't grow up that way," she recalls. "After work, I used to go to market, buy the whole basket load of turtles and then let them go. That was how I was taught to do things."
All seem to trace their interest in turtles to their youth and, despite working with them for years, continue to be in awe of the creatures.
Bergwerf, who grew up in Chicago, developed her love of sea life by watching Jacques Cousteau on TV and taking dive trips with her family. "Turtles are enchanting, stoic, historic."
"Turtles have a certain pull with people. Dolphins and whales have it, too, but turtles have the whole struggle. They struggle to get up the beach to lay their eggs, never to see their hatchlings, ever again. Sixty days later, a hundred of the little guys emerge and spend most of their early years trying to avoid predators.
"No one is protecting them. They are solitary. They make it to the Gulf Stream, to the North Atlantic gyre, around to Spain, off Africa, the Azores and then they swim back to South Carolina.
"That's phenomenal. How can you not be attracted to a creature like that?"

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Two state lawmakers said today that Jefferson County officials mistreated two doctors who questioned the county's decision to close the inpatient care unit and emergency room at Cooper Green Mercy Hospital.
"Those two doctors - both of whom know more about Cooper Green than any else around - simply had the best interest of patients at heart, but were treated" rudely because they dared question the county commission, said state Rep. John Rogers, D-Birmingham.
Dr. Max Michael, an expert on indigent care and dean of the UAB School of Public Health and Dr. Mark Wilson, Jefferson County health officer, who is in charge of the county health department, met with the county last month.County officials present were Commission President David Carrington; County Manager Tony Petelos and Deputy County Manager Walter Jackson.
Petelos said he remembers the meeting becoming "spirited" and Wilson acknowledged that he had words with Jackson.
Jackson said he "took exception" to how Michael and Wilson were characterizing the transition of Cooper Green from an inpatient facility to an urgent care center.
However, Michael and Petelos said the meeting ended on a positive note.
In an interview this week, Michael said there was "confusion" among
patients about the county's decision to downside the hospital. Wilson
said he was disappointed by the loss of primary care doctors who
attended to the sick poor.
Rogers and state Rep. Mary Moore, D-Birmingham, said they shared the same concerns as the doctors.
Rogers also questioned the county's efforts to begin a renewed campaign to inform the community about changes being made at Cooper Green.
"So, weeks after you've closed the hospital, now you've decided to let people know what you're doing?" Rogers said.Petelos said letters have been sent to patients, phone numbers published and a website set up for anyone who wants information.
On Jan. 1, Cooper Green, the county-owned hospital for the poor, became an urgent care center with primary and "subspecialty" outpatient clinics.

"Nope. It's sold out," the bookstore clerk said looking at the computer terminal. He gives me a smirk like, 'you're reading that crap?' Hey, I can't believe it myself. The chance to grab it 1/2 price had a lot to do with it, but now I want to read it so I'm resigned to having to pay full price for it at B&N.
On the way out Jon Leguizamo's "Pimps, Hos, Playa Hatas, and All the Rest of my Hollywood Friends" caught my eye. Shrugged and took it as a consolation prize, guess I'll read this crap.
Five steps towards the register and the same clerk runs from behind a display case, "Hey, wait!" He walks up to a guy with.. the book. "Is this it?," he asked. "Yeah." Snatches it out of the guy's hands and gives it to me. The guy is standing there dumbfounded. I'm thinking, that's really fucked up. Store clerk smiles and starts straightening some books, "it's yours." I look at the bookless guy, still holding his hands in the air. "Were you buying it?" I asked him. Store clerk jumps in, "No he wasn't, take it." Looking at the guy again.. he says, "If I touch it again, I'm keeping it." I'm trying to figure out why dude straight ripped the book from his hands to give it to me.. but dude's not about to touch it again. And then you say to yourself.. if he did would we really be fighting over a book?
A lot like Nas and Jay-Z, if you have Carmen tell it, their rap battle was really about Jay-Z wanting her. Little comments to dig at Nas' spine. When she accepted Nas' engagement ring Jay's jealousy flowed over and as the baby seat line showed, got out of control. It's yours, it's mine. It's yours.. Yeah, it's mine. Bookless guy worked there, he was reading on store time.more..

Novell Sold – What Will Become of openSUSE?
It was announced this morning that Novell has sold off some portion of its intellectual properties to CPTN Holdings, (backed by Microsoft) for $450 million. The remainder of Novell assets will be acquired by Attachmate Corporation for about $2.2 billion. This should be of no surprise as Novell staked a For Sale sign in their front yard several months ago. But this has undoubtedly left users and developers wondering what will become of openSUSE.
The press release says, "Attachmate Corporation plans to operate Novell as two business units: Novell and SUSE; and will join them with its other holdings, Attachmate and NetIQ." However, there was no further mention of openSUSE in either discussion of Attachmate or CPTN Holdings, although some speculate Mono was of primary interest to Microsoft.

Bradley Thomason's life has gone to the hogs, literally.
When Thomason is not chasing quarterbacks for the Muleshoe Mules, he breeds show pigs on the family farm outside town.
"The pigs keeps me pretty busy. But I also build pipe fences, umpire baseball, mow, build barns and all kinds of things," Thomason said. "I don't get a chance to work out much because I'm always working."
Raising championship Chester white pigs can be a full-time job itself. Thomason has five sows and one boar on the farm and that is the fewest pigs he has had in several months. However in early August one of the sows had a 15-piglet litter and he spends a lot of time watching them.
"You basically have to make sure she doesn't roll over on top of them or step on them or something like that," Thomason said.
Although Thomason has a boar on the farm, it does not take any active role in the breeding. He says the sow is artificially inseminated and then waits for the litter to come to term.
"The boar is just there to act as a tease for the sows. Sows cycle every few days and he's there to keep them regular. It keeps their minds on what they're supposed to be doing," Thomason said.
What determines a good show pig depends on the judge. Some judges like a long and lean look. Others prefer short and stocky lines. Thomason raises pigs with both appearances. Thomason looks for muscle and bone structure and just before a show, feeds them dried blood plasma to make their muscles pop out.
"It's character more than anything," Thomason said. "You can usually tell after a month whether or not they're going to be good. But sometimes they can surprise you. Some that think they're going to be good might not turn out to be as good as they think."
Last year was a banner year for the Mules as they went 14-1 and made the Class 3A Division II state semifinals for the first time in school history. Thomason was a strongside defensive end and center as the Mules made school history.
This season, Thomason switches to the weakside end, or "blood end" in Muleshoe jargon. The move will allow Thomason to freelance and cause headaches for opposing quarterbacks.

HARMAN - Five years ago, those gathered at a community strategic planning meeting in Harman shared a desire to add much-needed space to the Pioneer Memorial Public Library in Harman. On Thursday, many community members gathered to help celebrate the dedication of the library's new expansion of nearly 1,000 square feet.
Mary Rayme, librarian, and Judy Bucher, president of the library board of directors, welcomed attendees.
"Sometimes you have to wait a long time for good things to happen," Bucher said. "This was worth the wait."

Mary Rayme, librarian for the Pioneer Memorial Public Library in Harman, welcomes those gathered Thursday to celebrate the library's new expansion. The addition includes a seating area, bathroom and new meeting space that will be available to groups for rent.
The addition includes a multipurpose room with a kitchen area, referred to as Margaret's Meeting Room, a bathroom and a comfortable reading and exhibit area.
"Margaret Mae Mininger Bucher loved books," said Bucher. "She often referred to her favorite books as friends. She dreamed of a library for her community. Her dream became a reality with the Pioneer Memorial Public Library.
"She loved people and was always finding ways to bring people together. Therefore, as her four children, Sarah Ellen, Jonathan, Mary Beth and Dan, we are grateful to donate funds to name this community meeting room in honor of our mother."
Additional funds for the reading and exhibit area were donated by Grant County Bank.
Funding for the addition at the library came from the West Virginia Library Commission, the Randolph County Commission, Legislative Community Partnership grants, Run For It donations and the hard work and donations of many dedicated community members.
Rayme said the library not only serves the public, but also acts as the Harman School library.
"Five classes come for story time and to check out books," Rayme said. "Some of the students have even started coming over during their lunch."
Renovations to the children's area of the library were dedicated in memory of Barb Huffman.
The new meeting space is available to groups during the day, on weekends and in the evenings. Groups wishing to use the space can fill out an application and donate $25 to offset costs.
Rayme said, "We also received three new computers from WorkForce West Virginia. People can come in and use these computers to create resumes and find jobs."
She said the library also upgraded the memories on the other computers and purchased new flat-screen LCD monitors.
The library has six computers with high-speed Internet access, and officials are developing a tourist information center in the facility.
"We receive so many people stopping by to ask directions, so we hope to have additional information for those visitors," Rayme said.
The Pioneer Memorial Public Library was established in 1985.
Additional information is available by calling 304-227-4788 during normal library hours.

I am just at the end of my rope and need to start back into the Primal diet for our family. My husband is on board as well and we always do things as a family and this is what we need to do. I have a three year old daughter and a 10 year old son. My husband and I need to lose weight and more importantly we just need to be and feel healthy. I have all sorts of little ailments like sinusitis and GERD that are just getting worse. I first discovered this diet a year ago after Christmas. But as with so many things it was hard to stick to. But now we have a renewed strength and want to do this.
I do have the book and cookbook and have read through the book twice and it is so encouraging. Mark writes in such a positive manner and he's so very helpful.
We have a Trader Joes and Whole Foods close to us. Those of you who shop there what foods are you buying there to stock your fridge and cabinets? Trader Joes is my main shopping place but Whole Foods is not far away.
I also need simple breakfast ideas as basic scrambled eggs make me gag! I am a cereal and oatmeal girl and so the Primal diet has always been tough for me when it comes to breakfast!! I love salads and so lunch is easy
Can I PLEASE have popcorn when we go see Batman on Thursday!! I just love the movies any other suggestions for movie foods or if I just sneak in a bottle of water I will get used to it?
Thank you for any help and encouragement!

Who said you have to eat eggs for breakfast? Try thinking outside the box~ like a leftover chicken leg, can of sardines, tuna salad on a romaine leaf~ down the road, you may even want to skip breakfast and just have a bigger, meatier salad at lunch.
I really like TJ's full fat Greek yogurt~ mixed with berries, would be a great breakfast, unless you're intolerant~
While you're at TJ's, pick up a bag of pepitas (pumpkin seeds) Not perfect, but much better than popcorn!
Eggs aren't required. Meat and veg are great. If you can find sausages without crap in them, great. If not, you can just cook up your own meat. I don't have a lot of time in the morning, so yesterday I cooked up enough beef patties seasoned like sausages to last me the week. I just heat them up in the morning. I think eggs are so popular largely because they are quick to cook.I also need simple breakfast ideas as basic scrambled eggs make me gag!

You can have whatever you like. If your body puts up with it, then great. The frequency and magnitude of these steps off the path can affect your long term goals. You know best if you're keeping in good limits. No one's handing out medals or demerits. If you're going to eat something non-primal, do it without guilt and enjoy yourself. Then get back going with healthy food. I like to put it in context of how much I really enjoy that food. If you absolutely adore popcorn, then maybe it's worth it to you. If it's just a habit you feel some nostalgia for, then maybe think again.Can I PLEASE have popcorn when we go see Batman on Thursday!! I just love the movies any other suggestions for movie foods or if I just sneak in a bottle of water I will get used to it?
That said, here's why I think movie popcorn is really bad food: The oil they use is usually industrially processed and rancid. Corn is not only a grain with a protein that many people react badly to (similar to gluten), it's likely GMO. Personally, I'm gluten intolerant and I react to corn, so I wouldn't be eating that even though (home made) popcorn was one of my favorite snacks pre-primal. Not only is it damaging for my autoimmune condition, I also now see how it racks my digestion. But your mileage may vary. If you can eat it every so often and still feel good, then it's up to you if it's worth it to you. I don't have much of an issue with a little rice or legumes, so I indulge in those now and again. You'll find what's right for your body.
Would it be best to skip it all together? Hell, yes! Bring some water or some iced tea or something. Better than soda, even diet. I gave up movie snacking years before going primal. It was just a calorie bomb I didn't need. I've usually eaten a meal not long before the movie anyway.
So welcome to MDA and good luck! You're making a big change and that takes real guts. If you take some baby steps forward and back here and there, don't beat yourself up.
I take it you're eating your typical white eggs? Spring for the brown, cage-free kind (around here all I can find is Eggland's Best, they aren't perfect but at least their hens are allowed outside and aren't treated with antibiotics). The taste difference is off the charts. I hated scrambled eggs back when I ate the white ones. I like to stir fry some broccoli in a bit of olive oil and water (it's sort of half-steam half-fry), then when it's almost cooked, put it in a frying pan (coated with a little olive oil, cause cooking sprays are full of nasty trans-fats and I can't afford to cook with coconut oil or whatever the other "more primal" options are), pour three scrambled eggs over it, a dash of salt, and cook til the eggs are done. MMmmm. It reminds me of pizza... only better, and without the feeling of guilt afterwards. You'll be full til dinner.

Thanks a bunch for all these suggestions.
Daisy Eater, thank you for the advice to take baby steps. I need to remind myself that this is a marathon and not a 50 yard dash. I want this to stick.
Primal granola with cream for breakfast(many good recipes on this forum-basically toasted nuts and seeds).
Good luck.
From my personal experience....I just can't cheat. Well, I guess I could, but it really does a number on my pysche. I tell myself it is ok, I will start tomorrow and then I tell myself if I am starting tomorrow then why not a blizzard It is better for me to just know that this is how I need to eat and find my favorite low carb food, bacon, and go a little overboard.
Have you tried skipping breakfest at times? IF, so to speak. Lots of good articles on here about fasting.

Joint Commissioning Panel for Mental Health launched
A new Joint Commissioning Panel for Mental Health (JCP-MH) in the UK has been launched.
Aiming to address serious concerns regarding the future commissioning of mental health services and public mental health interventions, 13 organisations have come together to get the body up and running.
Rethink Mental Illness, the Royal College of Psychiatrists, Royal College of General Practitioners, Association of Directors of Adult Social Services, the NHS Confederation and Mind are all involved in the panel.
The group will attempt to address the problem of a perceived lack of practical guidance often reported in regards to commissioning for mental health and wellbeing.
Professor Peter Kinderman, Chair of the British Psychological Society's Division of Clinical Psychology and a Chartered Psychologist, said: "Many professional bodies, charities and service user groups have expressed concerns about the future of mental health care."
"As the new vision of 'any willing provider' and 'GP-led commissioning' is developed, many of us are worried that very complex, very specialist, services could suffer."
"It is vitally important that any commissioning arrangements learn from the experts."
"So the development of the Joint Commissioning Panel for Mental Health is an excellent and very welcome endeavour. The British Psychological Society (BPS) will, of course, work enthusiastically with our colleagues to ensure effective commissioning for mental health, learning disabilities and wellbeing."
Dr John Hanna, Chartered Psychologist, added: "The expansion of the JCP-MH to include, among other new members, the BPS is welcome news."
"Alongside other representatives of professional and service user and carer organisations, we will endeavour to realise the ambition of clinician- and service-user/carer-led commissioning in mental health."
"For applied psychologists and service users alike, it will be vital to establish commissioning standards to ensure that service users receive a full range of choice of evidence-based medicines and treatments as is their right under the NHS Constitution."
"We will expect increasing parity in service delivery to match the relative parity of evidence, resulting in improved access to psychological therapies in all areas of mental health."

The 10 Greatest Super Bowl halftime shows of all time
Beyonce, Prince, Michael Jackson, Madonna, and more
3. Beyonce, Super Bowl XLVII (2013)
Many divas have graced the Super Bowl halftime stage, but none with the power and, um, back lighting of Queen Bey. It was the sexiest half-time show since Prince or Janet Jackson (take your pick) and boy did she bring the hits. Starting with "Crazy in Love" she transitioned to "Till The End" (aka, "Say You'll Never Let Me Go") into a digital montage of a hundred (?) Beyonce's strutting to "Baby Boy." And, then, the most hyped moment of the night: a Destiny's Child reunion giving the Metrodome some "Bootylicious" and "Independent Woman" (around a circle of fire no less!). She then recruits Kelly and Michelle to sing "Single Ladies" before finally kicking them off the stage (hey, it's all about B here). And, unlike other performers, Beyonce wasn't afraid to slow it down to close the show. With "Halo" she shows off her pipes with all the dancers gone and just Beyonce and the fans taking it home. Gutsy. And it worked.

Paul McCartney
Making good pop music is a lot harder than it seems, as a past master like McCartney is well aware. It's not easy to act so intentionally yet appear so careless, to be at once provocative and anodyne, to prick the interest while remaining soothingly familiar. McCartney strikes that balance often enough on this album to make it one of his best releases in this decade.
Whoa, don't rush off to the record store just yet. This is no classic—and bear in mind that McCartney's '80s output is not exactly worth ferrying across the Mersey for. Still, the music is sweet without being sappy, attractive without being coy. By those criteria alone, it ranks as a triumph. Most disappointing is the withered fruit of Paul's collaboration with Elvis Costello. Of four songs they co-wrote, only "That Day Is Done" is worth noting. On the plus side, there's "Figure of Eight," a rock shuffle made with the aid of producer Trevor Horn that's one of McCartney's best songs since his mid-'70s Wings period. His largely subdued sentimental streak emerges winningly on "Distractions," a love song that recalls his early solo work 20 years ago. That's a long time, but McCartney is still creating highly listenable songs like this album's "Rough Ride" and "We Got Married." In other words, good pop music. (Capitol)
