WHILE HER LONG-HAIRED CAT ROSIE claws at a frayed chair in the cluttered living room of her Santa Monica house, an upbeat Sheila Kuehl takes congratulatory phone calls in the kitchen. It's the former actress's 53rd birthday, but that's not the only thing she's celebrating. Earlier in the day, Kuehl, who played brainy Zelda Gilroy on the CBS sitcom The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis (1959-'63), filed as a candidate for a seat in the California State Assembly. "My mother always said the way you spend your birthday is the way you'll spend the rest of the year," she says. "My birthday is a good omen."
Indeed, Kuehl, who stands to become the assembly's first openly gay-female member, is favored to win the 41st district's Democratic nomination next month. Among her supporters are state senator Tom Hayden (who once represented Kuehl's largely Democratic district, which covers Santa Monica, Malibu and a portion of the San Fernando Valley) and celebrities such as Lily Tomlin and Bruce Davison. "I would vote for her for anything," says actor Dick Sargent (Bewitched), who came out of the closet at a rally with Kuehl in 1990. "She wants to do something for mankind."
Kuehl, now an adjunct law professor at L.A.'s Loyola Marymount University, is a longtime advocate of women's rights. In addition to researching gender bias in the courts, she has worked hard to pass laws in California to protect battered women. "Often," she says, "I'm speaking for people who have been silenced."
For Kuehl, such silencing is all too familiar. One of two daughters of Arthur, a window dresser, and his wife, Lillian, Kuehl grew up in a working-class neighborhood of L.A. Enrolled in dance and drama classes, she was cast on a radio series at 8 under the professional name Sheila James. After being featured on TV's Stu Erwin Show as Erwin's pigtailed daughter Jackie, she was cast as Zelda at 18.
On the set, she lied about a fictional boyfriend to divert suspicion, even though her UCLA sorority sisters had already kicked her out after finding letters written to her by her female lover. But during the show's third season, a pilot for her own spin-off series was abruptly canceled without explanation. Soon afterward, a network executive asked if they could talk. "We sat in his car, and he said some of the powers that be at CBS had decided I was just a little too butch," she says. "It scared me to death."
During Dobie's final season, in 1963, Kuehl appeared only four times. "When you're gay," she says of her reaction at the time, "you feel like you're so aberrant you don't deserve to work." Though Dwayne Hickman, who played Dobie and is now an independent TV producer, attributes her diminished airtime to the increased focus on Bob Denver's character, Maynard G. Krebs, Kuehl is certain homophobia killed her career. Her next role after Dobie, in the shortlived sitcom Broadside (with Sargent), was her last. Forced to sell her Malibu home, she took an administrative job at UCLA and rose to associate dean of students. But when a male colleague won what she considered an unfair promotion, Kuehl, then 34, quit and entered Harvard Law School in 1975.
While there, she fell in love with a woman who was already "out." Realizing that she could be open about her sexuality and still live a normal life, she began coming out, first telling her sister Jeri, 48, a lawyer, then her parents four years later. "My mom said, 'It's okay, honey, we always knew you liked girls better,' " she recalls. In 1986, Kuehl brought her then-lover, gay activist Torie Osborn, to her inauguration as president of the Women Lawyers' Association of Los Angeles and introduced her as her significant other. "What I've found," says Kuehl, who broke up with Osborn in 1991 and is now unattached, "is that life is much better outside the closet."
Campaigning out of her home office decorated with posters of heroes John F. Kennedy and James Dean, Kuehl realizes that if she's nominated, questions about her sexuality may-overshadow her politics. But for now, even her likely Republican opponent, marketing specialist Peter Eason, is insisting otherwise. "She should be evaluated by her stand on the issues," he says. "Thai's the bottom line."

I like blue lips–seems quite fairylike. And I like the color you're wearing and the the fact that it's shiny like oil slick (a.k.a. street rainbow).

Importance The immunopathogenic mechanisms of dry eye disease (DED), one of the most common ophthalmic conditions, is incompletely understood. Data from this prospective, double-masked, randomized trial demonstrate that targeting interleukin 1 (IL-1) by topical application of an IL-1 antagonist is efficacious in significantly reducing DED-related patient symptoms and corneal epitheliopathy.
Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of treatment with the topical IL-1 receptor antagonist anakinra (Kineret; Amgen Inc) in patients having DED associated with meibomian gland dysfunction.
Design and Setting Prospective phase 1/2, randomized, double-masked, vehicle-controlled clinical trial.
Participants Seventy-five patients with refractory DED.
Interventions Participants were randomized to receive treatment with topical anakinra, 2.5% (n = 30), anakinra, 5% (n = 15), or vehicle (1% carboxymethylcellulose) (n = 30) 3 times daily for 12 weeks.
Main Outcomes and Measures Primary outcomes were corneal fluorescein staining (CFS), complete bilateral CFS clearance, dry eye–related symptoms as measured by the Ocular Surface Disease Index, tear film breakup time, and meibomian gland secretion quality.
Results Topical anakinra was well tolerated compared with vehicle, with no reports of serious adverse reactions attributable to the therapy. After 12 weeks of therapy, participants treated with anakinra, 2.5%, achieved a 46% reduction in their mean CFS score (P = .12 compared with vehicle and P < .001 compared with baseline); participants treated with anakinra, 5%, achieved a 17% reduction in their mean CFS score (P = .88 compared with vehicle and P = .33 compared with baseline); and patients treated with vehicle achieved a 19% reduction in their mean CFS score (P = .11). Complete bilateral CFS clearance was noted in 8 of 28 patients (29%) treated with anakinra, 2.5%, vs in 2of 29 patients (7%) treated with vehicle (P = .03). By week 12, treatment with anakinra, 2.5%, and treatment with anakinra, 5%, led to significant reductions in symptoms of 30% and 35%, respectively (P = .02 and P = .01, respectively, compared with vehicle); treatment with vehicle led to a 5% reduction in symptoms.
Conclusions and Relevance Treatment with topical anakinra, 2.5%, for 12 weeks was safe and significantly reduced symptoms and corneal epitheliopathy in patients with DED. These data suggest that the use of an IL-1 antagonist may have a role as a novel therapeutic option for patients with DED.
Trial Registration clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT00681109
Figure 1. Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials flow diagram of the study. Eighty-one patients were screened, and 6 were excluded at this stage. Seventy-five patients were randomized to the 3 arms of the trial. Eight patients withdrew before the last study visit at week 16.

The mean changes in corneal staining between anakinra, 2.5%, and anakinra, 5%, compared with vehicle at week 6 (P = .33 and P = .38, respectively) and week 12 (P = .12 and P = .88, respectively) did not reach statistical significance. At week 12, anakinra, 2.5%, attained a statistically significant difference compared with vehicle in achieving complete bilateral CFS clearance (P = .03 and P = .71, respectively).

D, Percentage change in the Environment-Triggered Symptoms module of the OSDI questionnaire. * P < .01, † P < .05, ‡ P < .001, and § P = .05 for the comparison of each time point value with the baseline value. Both anakinra, 2.5%, and anakinra, 5%, led to a statistically significant decrease in dry eye symptom scores compared with vehicle at week 6 (P = .02 and P = .02, respectively) and week 12 (P = .02 and P = .01, respectively).

What They're Saying: "GAME #78: MINNESOTA WILD VS PITTSBURGH PENGUINS, SATURDAY 4-5-14, 7:00PM CDT, XCEL ENERGY CENTER"
"The Minnesota Wild have five games remaining. We all know how important each and every one of those games are. However, none of those games are going to be easy. Looking at the opponents, it's almost the worst possible group of opponents for Minnesota: Pittsburgh, Winnipeg, Boston, St. Louis and Nashville. Within those 5 remaining games, there are heaps of other important numbers. Of those 5 games, 4 of them are at home. If ever there was a time to play extremely well in front of the home fans, it is now. Also, within those 5 remaining games, there are 10 points at stake. Considering how things have gone since the Olympic Break, I would be happy taking between 5-7 of the available 10 points. It's not going to be easy, because of the 5 remaining teams we face, 3 of them already have guaranteed an appearance in the playoffs. The other 2 opponents would love nothing more than to play spoiler."
What Happened Last Time: December 19, 2013 – Pens won 5-2 [Our Recap]
"But before we get too ahead of ourselves, let's relax and celebrate how good Olli Maatta has been. Bylsma said in his post-game presser that scouts, both internally with the Pens and the NHL in general, were saying Maatta was NHL-ready as far back as February 2013. The game against the Wild was just more affirmation of that. He's too good.
As for the Wild, what a surprisingly scumbag team. Keith Ballard, you like to hip check; we get it, bro.
Highlight of the night: Minnesota was 0 for 5 on the power play. Thanks, Mike Yeo!"

Erie police investigating eastside home invasion
A house was shot, but three people inside were not injured, in a reported home invasion attempted robbery on Erie's east side this morning.
Police said the incident happened shortly before 12:30 a.m. at a residence in the 500 block of East Fourth Street, when three men went to the residence and two walked in after kicking in the door. One of three people in the house confronted the intruders and they left without taking anything, police said.
Gunshots were fired at the house from outside, but no one was injured.
Police found shell casings on the sidewalk, and they are processing the scene for additional evidence, Erie police Lt. Kirk Werner said this morning.
The suspects were described as black men who were wearing dark clothing. One was 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall, and the other was 6 feet 2 to 6 feet 3 inches tall, police said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Erie police at 870-1120.

THE investors and supporters who are trying to buy Raith Rovers are just days away from securing the future of the club. Scotland on Sunday can reveal that the latest deadline for a sale imposed by owner Colin McGowan of West City Developments is less than a fortnight away.
The Glasgow-based businessman shows no sign of backing down from his threat to apply for permission to bulldoze Stark's Park and build houses on the site if the takeover does not go ahead.
But McGowan is keen to close the deal and broke his holiday last night to confirm that he is ready to sell the club and its stadium if the buyers meet his price. "We are very close to the deal being done," said McGowan, who has retained his sense of humour throughout a difficult period of negotiations. "We were looking for some acknowledgement of our six years in charge and how we kept the club going, but they rejected the idea of putting our picture in the boardroom."
McGowan originally set a deadline of the start of the season, but after genuine bidders emerged, he moved the date for 'sale or bulldoze' to the beginning of November.
The negotiations became an exercise in brinkmanship, but the preferred bidders for Raith Rovers are confident that they have secured sufficient finance to buy out West City, who are believed to be seeking 1.5m for a complete takeover of the club and its assets, including Stark's Park.
There have been several hitches in negotiations between the new community ownership consortium and the present owners, with West City said to be "sticking to the original deal" despite attempts to negotiate the price downward.
There is now just one major obstacle to finalising the takeover. This is understood to be a financial issue within the club discovered during the 'due diligence' process in which the club's books were investigated, but the community consortium hope to resolve this problem in the next few days.
"The money is there: all we need to do now is close the deal," said company secretary Eric Drysdale, one of the consortium leaders. "We just have to make the final push."
But acknowledging the latest difficulty, a consortium insider added: "It's a very delicate situation, but unless the issue is resolved and we get the deal done, we will have to go back to the negotiating table, and things could be different next time.
"The longer that West City stay in control, the more it is going to cost them to keep the club running, and that could affect the price that is to be paid."
Colin McGowan also is confident the issue can be resolved. He said: "Yes, there is only one thing holding up the deal, but in Scottish football terms it is a very low figure - we're talking about a sum barely into six figures. All the debts have been fully disclosed and in terms of the overall deal it is buttons, really."
So they are not dancing in the streets of Raith quite yet, but the community consortium is confident that West City will sell to their group, which involves Drysdale, former club owner Alex Penman and lifelong fan John Sim, who has extensive business interests in Asia and is believed to be a major investor in the new ownership association.
Sim's involvement came as a result of an approach from Chancellor Gordon Brown, the MP for Kirkcaldy. The two men have a strong link - they are both sons of the manse, their fathers having served as Church of Scotland ministers in Fife, with John Sim's father the minister at Kirkcaldy Old Parish Church. Brown has been crucial in persuading several local businesses and wealthy Fifers to back the buyout, but arguably even more vital has been the Reclaim the Rovers campaign organised by the supporters club, the Raith Rovers Trust and the local newspaper, the Fife Free Press.
Reclaim the Rovers set itself a target of raising 100,000 so that campaigners could play an active role in the future of the club, and that target could be reached early next week when the proceeds are counted following another fund-raising effort at yesterday's home match against Morton.
Several celebrities have come forward to pledge their support and help for the community buyout. Authors Ian Rankin and Val McDermid as well as rock star Guy Berryman from Coldplay are among those pledged to back the campaign.
One celebrity who was mystified to find himself listed among the supporters helping to buy Raith Rovers was painter Jack Vettriano, who is known to have followed East Fife since schooldays. Such allegiances in the Kingdom are not to be traduced lightly.
"The celebrity support has been very helpful in that it has attracted more local investment," said the consortium source, "but until the actual deal is done it means nothing."
For his part, McGowan maintains that there have been "no problems" on the part of West City developments. McGowan has suffered considerable abuse from fans in the past, but yesterday he was in conciliatory mood, praising those who have led the buyout.
"Eric Drysdale's efforts have been nothing short of magnificent, and it is absolutely great that the Chancellor took such an interest," said McGowan.
"It is good to see powerful people who have the ear of celebrities and successful people being able to persuade them to invest in a community club.
"I won't accept a pound more or a pound less than I originally agreed and there are principles at stake, but I have not made it difficult and I did, after all, extend the original deadline. Also, as a businessman, I know that the land with planning permission for housing is worth considerably more than we are selling for."
The long-suffering fans of the Second Division club with the Premierleague stadium are surely now just days away from seeing a brighter future.

Fed set to give economy therapy, not shock treatment
Sep 14, 2011, 4:56 a.m.
By Mark Felsenthal
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve, facing rising global financial strains and recession fears, is poised to increase downward pressure on longer-term interest rates next week in a bid to accelerate a sputtering U.S. recovery.
With one eye on escalating debt turmoil in Europe and another on a stubbornly high 9.1 percent U.S. unemployment rate, the Fed, whose policy panel meets next Tuesday and Wednesday, looks set to begin shifting the composition of its balance sheet to weight it more heavily with longer-term securities.
Having taken short-term interest rates to near zero and bloated its balance sheet with bond purchases that topped $2 trillion, analysts say the U.S. central bank is looking for smaller-bore ways to increase its support, such as shifting its holdings away from shorter-term debt.
"That sends a signal the Fed is still active in supporting growth," said Michelle Meyer, an economist for Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
A torrent of weak U.S. economic data has dashed hopes for a robust second half of the year after a disappointingly weak start, casting a shadow over the meeting.
U.S. growth advanced by less than a 1 percent annual rate in the first half of 2011, and Fed officials have acknowledged a need to downgrade their forecasts.
As prospects for a robust recovery crumbled over the summer, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke announced in late August that policymakers would expand their September meeting from one day to two. Officials will use the time to haggle over what, if any, action to take to prop up the recovery.
In the United States, a debt downgrade after a bruising political battle over raising the nation's borrowing limit has chilled business and consumer confidence. Employers added no jobs on net in August, a blow to hopes for an upswing in hiring.
At the same time, Europe's debt crisis has intensified, pressuring European banks and scaring investors away from risk around the world. U.S. President Barack Obama on Tuesday pressed the euro zone's major countries to take firmer control of the situation, and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner announced plans to attend a euro zone finance ministers' meeting in Wroclaw, Poland on Friday.
Other central banks have had to shift their policy focus in response to the dimming outlook. The European Central Bank took no action last week after a series of rate hikes, while the central banks of Canada, South Korea and Indonesia, among others, opted against removing any policy stimulus.
With storm clouds looming, Fed sentiment looks to have coalesced around some form of reshaping the Fed's $2.8 trillion balance sheet to hold more longer-term securities.
Officials hope the move will push down longer-term interest rates, helping encourage home refinancing and business spending. By lowering long-term yields on U.S. debt, the Fed may also push investors to seek higher returns by shifting to stocks or corporate bonds.
Policymakers are likely to discuss some more extreme alternatives -- such as targeting desirable levels for employment or growth, or adopting a policy that would let them overshoot their inflation target -- but those options would likely be reserved in case the economic situation turns even more dire.

Moch, who it said resigned "to pursue other interests"—without saying whether the resignation was related to criticism for Chimerix' initial refusal to furnish the company's lead product candidate, the experimental cancer drug brincidofovir (CMX001), to a critically ill seven-year-old boy.
M. Michelle Berrey, M.D., will take the helm while also continuing as Chimerix' CMO, the position for which she joined the company in November 2012. Previously, Dr. Berrey was CMO at Pharmasset, a drug developer focused on the development of nucleotide analogs for the treatment of hepatitis C, from 2007 until its acquisition by Gilead Sciences in January 2012.
Chimerix said Dr. Berrey's top priority will be to advance brincidofovir toward regulatory approval for the prevention of cytomegalovirus infection and other infections caused by DNA viruses.
Brincidofovir is an oral nucleotide analog that has shown in vitro antiviral activity against all five families of DNA viruses that affect humans, including cytomegalovirus (CMV), adenovirus (AdV), BK virus (BKV) and herpes simplex viruses. Brincidofovir has the potential to be the first broad-spectrum antiviral for the prevention and treatment of clinically significant infections caused by DNA viruses. Brincidofovir. Chimerix is also working with BARDA to develop brincidofovir as a medical countermeasure against smallpox.
"Chimerix has the potential to bring an important antiviral for prevention and treatment to immunocompromised patients who today have limited or no treatment available," Dr. Berrey said, adding: "I am pleased with our clinical development progress to date for brincidofovir and the strength of the scientific underpinnings of our organization."
Chimerix announced Dr. Berrey's appointment yesterday—about a month after Moch and the company did an about-face and allowed four-time cancer survivor Josh Hardy to use brincidofovir in order to battle a potentially fatal virus contracted after a bone marrow transplant. Josh was one of about 20 cancer patients eventually allowed into a pilot study to use the drug, for which the company finalized details with FDA.
That about face on March 11 came about, however, after Josh's parents took their case to local and national news outlets. Moch maintained that Chimerix would be committing an ethical violation by selectively providing the medicine—and in return was placed under armed escort after receiving personal threats.
Yesterday, Moch declined to discuss the circumstances of his departure in an interview with the News & Observer newspaper of Raleigh, NC, saying instead: "I am very proud of my accomplishments at Chimerix, including the significant increase in value of the company from $60 million to $600 million."
Chimerix concluded a successful initial public offering in April 2013 that raised more than $102 million and was one of the first in a string of successful IPOs by biopharma companies over the past year.
"I am looking forward to exploring interesting opportunities in the biotechnology and biopharmaceutical arena, which is what I've done my entire life," Moch told the newspaper.
Ernest Mario, Ph.D., chairman of Chimerix' Board of Directors, said in a statement: "We are grateful for Ken's contributions to Chimerix and his leadership during the company's transition to a publicly traded company."
Dr. Mario added, however: "We are now entering a critical stage of the clinical development of brincidofovir. Our goal is to complete the requirements for regulatory approval of brincidofovir as rapidly as possible and we believe Dr. Berrey has the qualifications and expertise in abundance to accomplish that objective."
"I believe Dr. Berrey has demonstrated the leadership skills and vision to guide Chimerix through this critical phase in the company's evolution," Dr. Mario concluded.

To be on the banks of the Cauvery listening to the strains of Carnatic music is to have a taste of eternal bliss
– Tamil proverb
Continuing south of Puducherry along the Coromandel coast, you enter the flat landscape of the Kaveri (aka Cauvery) Delta, a watery world of canals, dams, dykes and rivulets that has been intensively farmed since ancient times. Just 160km in diameter, it forms the verdant rice-bowl core of Tamil Nadu, crossed by more than thirty major rivers and countless streams. The largest of them, the River Kaveri, known in Tamil as Ponni, "The Lady of Gold" (a form of the Mother Goddess), is revered as a conduit of liquid shakti, the primordial female energy that nurtures the millions of farmers who live on her banks and tributaries. The landscape here is one endless swathe of green paddy fields, dotted with palm trees and little villages of thatched roofs and market stalls; it comes as a rude shock to land up in the hot and chaotic towns.
This mighty delta formed the very heartland of the Chola empire, which reached its apogee between the ninth and thirteenth centuries, an era often compared to classical Greece and Renaissance Italy both for its cultural richness and the sheer scale and profusion of its architectural creations. Much as the Cholas originally intended, every visitor is immediately in awe of their huge temples, not only at cities such as Chidambaram, Kumbakonam and Thanjavur, but also out in the countryside at places like Gangaikondacholapuram, where the magnificent temple is all that remains of a once-great city. Exploring the area for a few days will bring you into contact with the more delicate side of Chola artistic expression, such as the magnificent bronzes of Thanjavur.

By schools, I mean universitys and colleges. Is it legal to carry a concealed weapon there as long as I have a permit?

Best to ask a lawyer, but as far as I know, universities and colleges are not off-limits (only elementary and secondary schools).
Title 18 (912) says something to the effect that possession on elementary or secondary school building, bus, or associated buildings is a first-degree misdemeanor. There is a "lawful purpose" defense, but it's not clearly defined. Check out handgunlaw.us for the quoted statutes.
However, be aware that if you are a student at said university/college, it might be a "kick you out of school" offense to have a gun.
October 17, 2006, 01:18 AM
I had one with me at York College all the time. They didn't ask, I didn't tell.
I'm guessing you mean as a student? It surely could be grounds for expulsion, but I don't know of a state law making it of itself a crime. Which college is it?
October 17, 2006, 01:52 AM
I carried while I went to college, out of sight, out of mind. Never had any problems. I know alot of schools these days have anti-weapon policies if you're living on campus, same for while on campus going to classes. I lived off campus to limit possible problems and went very low key while carrying on campus. You should check with the school in question just to be 100% certain.

§912. Possession of weapon on school property.
(a) Definition.Notwithstanding the definition of weapon in section 907 (relating to possessing instruments of crime), weapon for purposes of this section shall include but not be limited to any knife, cutting instrument, cutting tool, nun-chuck stick, firearm, shotgun, rifle and any other tool, instrument or implement capable of inflicting serious bodily injury.
(b) Offense defined.A person commits a misdemeanor of the first degree if he possesses a weapon in the buildings of, on the grounds of, or in any conveyance providing transportation to or from any elementary or secondary publicly-funded educational institution, any elementary or secondary private school licensed by the Department of Education or any elementary or secondary parochial school.
(c) Defense. It shall be a defense that the weapon is possessed and used in conjunction with a lawful supervised school activity or course or is possessed for other lawful purpose.
October 17, 2006, 02:20 AM
From what I understand, most Colleges and Universities prohibit firearms on campus. Legal CCW or not. Apparently, the management types of private property can do this. Lots of businesses say the same thing. No firearms on company property.
October 17, 2006, 03:39 AM
from any elementary or secondary publicly-funded educational institution, any elementary or secondary private school licensed by the Department of Education or any elementary or secondary parochial school.
The LEGAL break down of PA is this: no weapons on school property K-12, public or private.
Are colleges included? NO.
Rumble already brought up a key point. If you are STUDENT at a college, its almost always in violation of student rules to have weapons on campus and you would be subject to expulsion (if somehow caught or exposed with a CCW). Before you argue "but the second amendment....."- by enrolling you sign a document pledging to abide by their rules, or they can expel you.
The other posts hit the other main factor on the head: you can carry on campus very easily. Just make sure its a secure holster (nothing that is going to be seen or fall out) and it might be in your best interest NOT to make it widely known you carry.
With this in mind, a CCW on campus is still for legitimate self defense. Consider the context and instability of colleges, especially after hours. If you are carrying so you can draw on "billy fraternity guy" who is picking a fight with you, that is probably a very bad idea. Most college campus fights can be resolved by either a cooler head or by hitting the weight room, not by hollow points.
Steve in PA
October 17, 2006, 08:14 AM
No, thats not the "legal" breakdown. Your failing to take into consideration the "lawful purpose" clause.
Granted, there is no case law that states a person with a CCW falls into the category of lawful purpose, but there is nothing that says it isn't either.
October 17, 2006, 08:53 AM
FWIW, and acknowledging that the plural of anecdote is not "data":
* I can (but won't) name several professors at a few universities in PA who are well armed at all times.
* While there is no case law on the lawful purposes defense, there are two or three anecdotes I've encountered, one allegedly in Philadelphia where the police declined to arrest a permit holder who had been "made" on school grounds when picking up their kids.
* Elementary Schools willfully ignore the "lawful purposes" defense. After the sheriff conducted the background check on my wife for her LTCF, which alerted her school district, she got a fairly snotty letter telling her that carriage of arms was both against policy, AND illegal, quoting §912 A & B, but NOT C. I therefore assume that if I'm ever carrying and made on school grounds, that they WILL call the cops, that I WILL have to have a polite conversation with them on the topic, the outcome of which is not certain.
* It is my belief, being an informed layman, but not being a lawyer that Section 21 of the PA state Constitution, which provides that "The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned.", plus all the related case law that essentially says "we really mean it" is sufficient to establish the lawfullness of the _purpose_ of self defense, a right which is further protected by carrying lawful arms (ie: legal guns acquired legally) in a lawful manner (ie: with an LTCF).
* The only item that disturbs me a little bit is the phrase "it shall be a defense that...", which someone of ill will could interpret to mean, "arrest the man, and let him show his "defense" to the judge." As they say, sometimes, the process IS the punishment.
October 17, 2006, 09:05 AM
There was at least one cast of a PA LTC holder who was charged for having a concealed handgun on school (primary/secondary) property. I'll try to dig up some links, I can't remember if he was convicted or not.
October 17, 2006, 10:39 AM
I go to PSU main campus. Crime really isn't a problem on campus, but I did notice it would be really easy to get away with (I don't know why I tend to think like this). There are "auxillary cops" but these are just nothing but students wearing coats, very little they could do against a criminal except calling for the real police. It would be very easy to go get a gun and just rob a few students.
Outside of the school its very rural, and I think a meth dealer(not sure exactly about that) stabbed a student to death in a bar a year ago. I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to be packing in case one of those idiots crossed my path.
October 17, 2006, 11:04 AM
I work at a state university in PA, and like 69Chevy says, crime isn't a particular problem (crimes here are mostly things like disorderly conduct, indecent exposure, underage drinking, and public urination), but there have been a few violent crimes even in this relatively rural town.
However, just as 69Chevy says, it would be EASY to go on a little mugging spree (BTW, 69Chevy, there was some website I saw about personal defense & safety that it was helpful to "think like a mugger" for a week, in order to see how vulnerable people really can be, and to sort of shake yourself out of Condition White--so don't sweat it), and in fact, most of the more serious crimes here are armed robberies/muggings (I'm excluding sex crimes, because I honestly have no idea how often they happen here). I carry when and where it's legal and appropriate, and simply maintain a very low profile.
The University Police here aren't armed, actually (beyond pepper spray and batons), but they will eventually be. It has caused quite a flap among the earnestly naive students who are simply aghast that the Univeristy would approve giving guns to police officers without the student body's consent.
My thought was, "Police officers with guns? What will these power-mad administrators think of next?"
October 17, 2006, 12:05 PM
"I'm also a Pennsylvania dweller, and it was my understanding that universities and colleges are not considered "off-limits" areas for CCW. From www.handgunlaw.us, Title 18 subsection 912 says that it's prohibited to carry on elementary or secondary school grounds or facilities, but not higher education institutions (or at least, there's no mention in that subsection). Plus, "other lawful purpose" exists as a rather vague defense. "
My point exactly - that STATE institutions CANNOT invoke(upon students of such institutions especially), even as POLICY, the prohibition of legal CCW - see preemption.
Now, a PRIVATE institution can set the POLICY (still no force of LAW), and we all know the drill there!!:neener:
October 17, 2006, 03:18 PM
My point exactly - that STATE institutions CANNOT invoke(upon students of such institutions especially), even as POLICY, the prohibition of legal CCW - see preemption.
Technically, I don't think we can rely on the preemption statute to trump state university anti-gun policies. Our preemption statute is worded differently than other state's laws. Here's what the statute says:
§ 6120. Limitation on the regulation of firearms and ammunition.
(a) General rule.--No county, municipality or township may in any manner regulate the lawful ownership, possession, transfer or transportation of firearms, ammunition or ammunition components when carried or transported for purposes not prohibited by the laws of this Commonwealth.
State universities are not counties, municipalities or townships. They part of the state system of higher education, and therefore are instrumentalities of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
IMO, the only statute someone could rely on to challenge a state university in Pennsylvania would be the CCW statute, which states that a CCW is issued "for the purpose of carrying a firearm concealed on or about one's person or in a vehicle throughout this Commonwealth."
Also a person could rely on the state constitution's RKBA.
University of Pennsylvania, Temple University and West Chester University have no weapons policies for anyone except their police departments, even if you have a license.:barf:
October 17, 2006, 03:45 PM
Does the West Chester policy actually cover everyone except university police? I work at another State System university, and there is no explicit policy on firearms except that students may not possess weapons on campus (hunting rifles are excluded to the extent that they may be submitted to the University Police for storage and only checked out during hunting seasons).
If there is a WCU policy, I'd like to see it out of curiosity.
October 17, 2006, 05:44 PM
From www.packing.org today:
"A woman going to a parent conference at Olney High School East yesterday afternoon was taken into police custody because she was carrying a loaded gun............................
She had a license to carry the firearm, but was taken into custody when she refused to take the weapon out of the school, said school district spokesman Fernando Gallard. He declined to give the woman's identity, saying only that she was a parent and, to his knowledge, she was not a police officer."
October 17, 2006, 06:04 PM
I've been tryig to follow up on that story since Monday...this will be interesting indeed.
October 17, 2006, 10:40 PM
If there is a WCU policy, I'd like to see it out of curiosity.
Note: This is an Adobe Acrobat Document. Go to the bottom of page 6. The student code of conduct also has a prohibition.
October 17, 2006, 11:36 PM
but was taken into custody when she refused to take the weapon out of the school,
Now THAT will be interesting.
Normally, that's the "criminal trespass" angle.
Basically, PA doesn't have any of that "posting" nonsense. However, if you're discovered to be armed on private property, they can ask you to leave, and if you refuse, you can be booked on criminal trespass.
I'm not certain how that would apply however on the _public_property_ that is a school.
I hope to vishnu she's got a good lawyer, lest a bad precedent be set.
Furthermore, even with a good lawyer, I have zero faith in the justice system of Philadelphia, given how a lot of people get railroaded on gun charges there.
October 18, 2006, 08:47 AM

Penn State does have a weapons policy. It isn't a law, but a policy. They own the property and they have the right to determine people's conduct when on that property. I don't know that they have the force of law behind it, but they don't have to. There are many sanctions they can impose short of legal action. Trust me on this. I don't agree with it, but they give me a nice check every month, so I play by their rules.
I've worked for the University for a number of years and know of two people who were fired for carrying guns at work. There were other circumstances in both cases, but weapons policy violations were the formal reasons for the terminations. That said, I know of several people who carry in their vehicles. I don't feel the need carry on campus during the day. Do you honestly think PSU is a dangerous place? State College on a Friday or Saturday night is a different story, but then,finding someone sober enough to carry would be a feat in itself. Would you carry when going out to the bars for the night? You could make the DD the DM (designated marksman) as well. :) But OTOH, a small pistol stuck discretly in a backpack would never be noticed. Its not like there are metal detectors anywhere on campus, and "alive and in a world of s**t" still beats the hell out of dead. But how far you're willing to go is a choice only you can make. Remember, ther are a LOT of anti's on campus and all it takes is one to catch a glance in your backpack or hear a rumor from a friend of a friend and you could be screwed.
Besides, If I was allowed to carry on campus, I might have too many evil thoughts about the idiots who don't know the difference between a street and a sidewalk! :D

I would think that they would need the force of law behind the policy. As I said before, state-affiliated universities are instrumentalities of the Commonwealth. As such, they have an obligation to follow state law and protect people's rights under the state constitution, including RKBA. If the no weapons policy is in violation of RKBA (and pretty much anyone on THR would agree that it is), then any student or employee disciplinary action based on a weapons violation should be challenged on such grounds, with a lawsuit and court injunction, if necessary.

LEAVITTSBURG - Haylee Harford spent the past two summers winning numerous junior tournaments. She didn't quite experience the same dramatic victories in 2014, but this summer was just as special for the LaBrae senior.
"Every summer is different for me," she said. "I didn't really have any wins, but it was certainly better, experience-wise."
She placed third in a pair of American Junior Golf Association tournaments in Kentucky and New York. In Kentucky, she shot 71-73-73 for a three day total of 217. In New York, she shot her three day personal best at even-par, 75-67-74. Harford was invited and played in the AJGA Rolex Tournament of Champions in Nashville, Tenn. at the end of June, but missed the cut by 1 stroke.
"It's a big deal (to play in that tournament), still being in high school," Harford said.
Also in June, she competed in a tournament in Michigan and qualified for the U.S. Girls Junior Championship at the Forest Highlands Golf Club in Flagstaff, Ariz.
"It was simply beautiful out in Arizona," Harford said. "I've been lucky to have the opportunity to play in some beautiful places."
In July, Harford shot a 1-under, 71 at a course in Dayton, which qualified her for the 2014 U.S. Women's Amateur in Glen Cove, N.Y. at Nassau Country Club.
Now, she's back in the groove of the high school schedule, leading the Vikings to a 7-4 record this season. On Thursday, she carded a 35 against Newton Falls. On Wednesday in a match against Champion at Riverview, she shot a 32 on the par 36 front nine.
"The summer she had was spectacular," LaBrae coach Brad Barnhart said. "Her game has progressed greatly and her short game and putting are over the edge right now.
"It's really impressive to see her play at an away match. She can adapt quickly to different surroundings and new greens. She plays well at Riverview since that's been her home course, but she plays well regardless at any course."
Aside from Harford, LaBrae's top rotation includes Grant Sprague, Brandon Bergstrom, Jason Downey and Tyler Morrison.
"Everybody is trying to compete at her level," Barnhart said. "The people that play with her generally play better because the level of concentration is higher and they're more focused on being competitive with an elite golfer."
Even opposing coaches can tune in to what Harford can do.
"Haylee is a tremendous golfer and a true Division-I talent," Newton Falls coach Scott Kernen said. "She does not take any crap from the boys. She will beat just about every boy out there."

Erie BayHawks struggle against Mad Ants
The Fort Wayne Mad Ants extended their winning streak to seven games by beating the Erie BayHawks 112-84 before 3,508 fans Saturday night at Erie Insurance Arena.
Anthony Richardson scored a game-high 30 points to lead the Mad Ants, who have the D-League's longest current winning streak.
Fort Wayne (10-10) has won two straight games against the BayHawks (10-7).
Erie trailed 58-51 at halftime. Demetri McCamey had 12 points off the bench to lead the BayHawks, who shot just 35.8 percent in the first half.
D.J. Kennedy had 11 points while Keith Benson chipped in 10 in the first half.
Former Cleveland Cavaliers forward Luke Harangody had 15 points for Fort Wayne at the half. The Mad Ants, who had 25 offensive rebounds in their 106-84 win against Erie last month, had 10 offensive rebounds at the half Saturday night.
Anthony Richardson added 12 first-half points for the Mad Ants, who attempted 20 free throws and made 16 of them.
The BayHawks lost starting point guard Nick Covington after he picked up consecutive technical fouls with 3 minutes, 16 seconds left in the half.
Covington reacted to a foul called on Kennedy by slamming the ball high in the air off the floor to draw the technical.
Covington then threw his white head band in reaction to the first technical and was called for a second technical foul.
The BayHawks will be on the road for their next four games. They play two games at Idaho on Wednesday and Thursday and are at Santa Cruz on Jan. 20 and at Los Angeles on Jan 21.
Erie has just four home games in the month of January, with three being against the Mad Ants.
The BayHawks will play Fort Wayne two more times Jan. 25 and Jan. 27 at home. Their final home game of the month is Jan. 28 against Tulsa.

A pitcher is only as good as his legs. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. And a piece of legislation is only as meaningful as its smallest loophole.
So it's especially important that House Speaker Pro Tem Jay Lucas, R-Hartsville, makes dead sure that his bill to eliminate shady ways to make campaign contributions in South Carolina is air-tight.
The problems he is trying to address are significant ones. Both Gov. Nikki Haley's panel on ethics reform and a similar panel of House Republicans have recommended abolishing leadership PACs in an effort to curb the problem.
But the bill's wording might not accomplish what Mr. Lucas intends. Cathy Hazelwood, a lawyer for the state Ethics Commission, said some of those campaign donations would still remain legal.
In South Carolina, people refer to organizations like the Palmetto Leadership Council, affiliated with House Speaker Bobby Harrell, R-Charleston, as "leadership PACs." They can make campaign contributions up to $3,500, whereas legislators are limited to $1,000 apiece from other donors. It's a troubling loophole.
Those at the helm of such PACs earn loyalty from legislators when they send contributions their way. People justifiably fear that these donations are being used to manipulate legislators who should be acting purely in the best interest of the public.
Attorney General Alan Wilson, after agreeing to ask SLED to investigate ethics complaints about Mr. Harrell and the Palmetto Leadership Council, announced Tuesday that he would return $7,000 in contributions he received from Harrell and the group associated with him. He said he will do so in an effort to avoid even the appearance of a conflict.
Rep. Lucas' intention is just right: "to stop individuals in the General Assembly from forming or having an involvement with political action committees that raise money."
But Ms. Hazelwood's perspective should not be ignored. She says that there are two ways candidates get campaign gifts — through leadership PACs and through non-candidate committees (which are very often confused with leadership PACs). Neither vehicle should be allowed to process those donations.
Mr. Lucas told our reporter that he planned to talk with Ms. Hazelwood. We hope he will talk with as many experts as it takes to write an air-tight bill. Otherwise, politicians and lobbyists will find ways to circumvent the law's intent, and South Carolina's ethics problems will continue.
Mr. Harrell is a co-sponsor of the bill, noting that it matches a recommendation by the House ethics study committee. We hope he will maintain his support when the bill's wording is amended and the Palmetto Leadership Council is also restricted.
Lawmakers are finally sounding serious about ethics reform.
They should assure the public that the measures they take to clean up state government will actually do that.

Temple Sholom of Bridgewater is thrilled to welcome a new cantor to its congregation. Cantor Vadim Yucht will be joined Temple Sholom on July 1.
Born in Ukraine, Cantor Yucht received his M.A. from the Moscow Academy of Music and Culture. He became a cantor while living in Israel and later received an M.A. in Jewish Education at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. Cantor Yucht will be joining Temple Sholom after serving as cantor at the Morristown Jewish Center, where, aside from his traditional duties, he was known for his innovative and engaging programs, including a children's choir and a congregational band.
"We are extremely pleased to be welcoming Cantor Vadim Yucht to our temple family and look forward to spending many wonderful Shabbats and holidays with him," said Ellen Teller, president of Temple Sholom, "He brings wonderful musical talent and educational experience to our entire congregational community, adults and children alike.

- 'R' for refusal to let checkers in
New Delhi: Armed with temephos granules and a small torch, 41-year-old J S Chauhan, a domestic breeding checker, goes around ringing doorbells, asking people to get their homes inspected for any potential breeding of mosquitoes. The south corporation has more than 1,185 such foot soldiers in the war against mosquitoes but it has one major grouse: "Many people don't let us in." All such houses — which refuse to cooperate — are marked "R" (Refused) with a pencil. The current "status report on prevention and control of vector-borne diseases" claims that more than six lakh houses either refused to let the field worker in or were always found locked. "These houses may continue to be a source of disease transmission," the report grimly notes. More than 1,20,40,535 houses have been checked by the corporation workers till September 10 and "approximately 5-6% houses" fall in this category. "As the aedes aegypti has a range of almost 100 metres, even one such house can become a threat for the entire locality," said a senior entomologist with the corporation. The civic body directs its checkers to visit at least 50 houses daily. "A majority of the breeding sites that we discover inside houses are in pots, fengshui plants, defrosting trays behind fridges, containers collecting water that drips from air conditioners and overhead water tanks. But since this is an upmarket area, many don't feel comfortable in letting us go to certain sections," explains Chauhan. "To handle this issue, senior officials were asked to accompany the field staff. People need to cooperate with us. Without their cooperation, it is impossible to control mosquito breeding," an official added. Amod Kumar, an assistant malaria inspector in Lajpat Nagar, who supervises the checkers, and issues challans says that his staff gets all kinds of excuses from people — "Our house is clean, we are cooking, there is no one at home, women are alone..." Some cite security issues while others challenge the checkers with: "Who are you to inspect my home?" The police can't be called always. Subhash Arya, leader of the house in the south corporation, says they have repeatedly appealed to the people who were not letting the checkers in. "Such a significant number of refusals is problematic." Several government and private institutions too have been found negligent. From places where people go for treatment—Hindu Rao Hospital in Malkaganj and Shanta Nursing Home in Samaypur—to several educational institutes such as Zakir Hussain College on JLN Marg, DAV Sr Sec School in Samaypur and NDMC primary school in Anand Parvat —all have been issued challans.
- India takes R&D route to find alternatives to climate-damaging refrigerants HFCs
NEW DELHI: Environment ministry on Thursday announced an ambitious collaborative R&D programme to develop next generation sustainable refrigerant technologies as alternatives to the climate-damaging hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). The announcement came a day before the International Ozone Day. Though HFC is not an ozone-depleting chemical substance like other refrigerants, it has huge potential to damage climate and therefore its phase down is considered quite important to fight the adverse impact of climate change. The announcement indicates India's commitment to phase down HFCs by taking its domestic industries on board so that the refrigerant sector does not get affected by it until they find cost-effective cutting edge technology as alternative to HFC which is used in air-conditioners, refrigerators and insulating foam. Countries from across the globe, including India, will next month meet in Kigali, Rwanda to finalise an amendment to the Montreal Protocol to phase down HFCs. Amendment to the Montreal Protocol is needed as it, in its present form, only deals with phasing down of ozone-depleting refrigerants like CFCs and HCFCs. Since HFC is not ozone-depleting chemical substance, its phase down under Montreal Protocol requires the amendment. The move is expected to help the world cut down emission of this dangerous greenhouse gas substantially by 2050 and avoid up to 0.5 degree Celsius of warming by the end of the 21st century. The research initiative to find out alternatives to HFCs in India will be led by the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research's (CSIR) Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, Hyderabad. Besides CSIR and its allied institution, the Centre for Atmospheric & Oceanic Sciences and key industry players in the refrigerant sector will also be part of this R&D initiative. The ministry along with the Department of Science and Technology (DST) and the CSIR has also decided to create a corpus fund for this research programme. Industry also committed to contribute to the effort. "With this initiative, India reaffirms its commitment to working with all other nations to safeguard the Earth's natural ecosystem", said the environment ministry while making the announcement on Thursday. Members of this initiative have already had multiple rounds of consultation to reach a consensus on the contours and the roadmap for this initiative. The ministry said, "India has a small carbon footprint at citizen level and its sustainable lifestyle results in low contribution of the country to overall emissions of greenhouse gases and ozone depleting substances, as compared with other developed countries. However, there is an urgent need for developing new technologies indigenously as alternatives available today are patented apart from being expensive. "The research based programme to look for cost effective alternatives to the currently used regfrigerant gases is, therefore essential. The initiative is a significant step forward in line with India's national focus on research, innovation, technology development and Mission Innovation". By establishing an effective collaboration between all important stakeholders, the initiative is focused on prioritising areas of research in new refrigerant technologies and natural refrigerants. "This will help the country leapfrog from the current high global warming potential HFCs to technologies with lower climate impact", said the ministry -- an indication that India will be able to move on the HFCs' 'phase down' path quickly only if it gets alternative either through domestic innovation or through getting cost-effective solution from the developed countries. It reiterated that the proposed R&D initiative is an important step in the direction of enabling the country achieve national development goals, while continuing to maintain a sustainable environmental footprint. Reversing its long opposition, India had in April last year made a formal proposal to amend the Montreal Protocol to bring phasing down of HFC. The country had, however, sought a "grace period" of 15 years to phase down HFCs so that its domestic industries get enough time to switch over to technically feasible and economically viable alternatives. If the grace period is accepted in Kigali, developing countries will phase down the refrigerant to an agreed level by 2050 as against the deadline of 2035 for rich nations including the US, Japan and EU countries. The amendment, once adopted, will make all developing countries, including India, compulsorily phase down HFC under the Montreal Protocol which, at present, does not have a mandate to deal with the non-ozone depleting

- Call to move more R&D funds to varsities for better innovation
PUNE: There is a need to move research and development (R&D) from autonomous public institutions to universities if the country wants to do better in terms of innovation said Naushad Forbes, co-chairman, Forbes Marshall, at a lecture organized by the Pune International Centre. Forbes, also the national president of confederation of Indian industries (CII), cited data showing only 4% of India's total R&D expenditure of $17 billion reaches universities, while the lion's share of 61% goes to autonomous public research institutions. "Moving from public institutions to universities will benefit both, the universities and research," said Forbes. He added that students will benefit by working with fine scientists and research can gain from a smart and low-cost talent pool. Forbes said that India set-up about 18 autonomous research institutions in the between 2007 and 2016 (roughly two plan periods)and currently has a total of 300 autonomous public institutions. Flagging an important concern within the industry , Forbes said that top R&D spending company in China — Huawei — alone spends more (about $7 billion) on R&D than the whole lot of Indian companies (about $6 billion). "There is a need to usher in few fundamental structural changes for this statistic to improve," said Forbes. Among the top 10 sectors in terms of R&D spending globally , Indian companies are entirely absent in five of them and have only one company in two of the remaining five. "We should be there in all those missing R&D intensive sectors and we need to do more manufacturing in those sectors," he added. Forbes pointed out that multinational companies make more use of R&D talent pool in India than Indian companies do. He said of the top 100 R&D spending firms, 83 of them have big facilities in India. "So potential exists in India, if we chose to take it," he told the gathering of industry leaders and students. He added that the government can help by funding more R&D activity in the pharmaceutical or healthcare sector and IT sector (both through the university route) and described these sectors as "easy wins" because India exports from both sectors in large quantities. Currently in both sectors, the country's R&D spending is just about 5% put together.

- Books document history of R S Puram, lives of industrialists
COIMBATORE: How many people know that R S Puram was carved out of 400 acres of agricultural land in the 1950s to primarily create more housing for people of a growing town? Many more facts about the locality are revealed in historian C R Elangovan's new book 'R S Puram Andrum Indrum' which was launched on Tuesday evening. It was an evening of nostalgia for seasoned writers and publishers who had gathered at the Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry for the launch of the renowned historian's two books 'R S Puram Andrum Indrum' and 'Kovaikkum Thozhil Endru Peru'. R S Puram serves as a role model for not just Coimbatore and the state but the entire country, said publisher K Jagadeesan. "Besides being well-planned, it has a mixed population of Tamils, Telugus, Kannadigas, Malayalees and north Indians. "The whole area is planned so well that it forms a perfect square with its four corners being Thadagam Road, Mettupalayam Road, Cowley Brown Road and Mill Road," he added. Mayor P Rajkumar, who was the chief guest of the event, said that every time the corporation saw R S Puram, named after Diwan Bahadur Rathnasabapathy Mudaliar, on their map, they were filled with pride. "The roads are not perpendicular to the main road, but have splays or blunt edges, making turns easier, as per international standards," he said. The original builders had even left a small space on either side of the road called sanitary lane, but over the years, it has been encroached on. The mayor also welcomed the idea of the two books, saying they would serve as fitting momentos for visiting tourists. "Whenever I travel abroad I like to get a small booklet about the place I'm visiting. Now, I can hand out these books to visitors," he said. Speaking about 'Kovaikkum Thozhil Endru Peru', where the historian has chronicled the lives of industrialists G D Naidu, A V Varadharajan and Pazhamudhir Chinnaswamy, ICCIC president D Nandhakumar said, "We wanted to document their stories as a treasure for future generations."

Type 2 diabetes is the most common type of diabetes today. The good news is that there are ways to prevent diabetes. Read on to learn the basics about diabetes and how to lower your risk.
Type 2 diabetes is a disease that occurs when the body cannot manage blood glucose well.
When we eat, carbohydrate in food is digested and turned into sugar or glucose. Glucose then gets absorbed into our blood. The glucose goes from our blood into our cells with help from a hormone called insulin (insulin is made in the pancreas). We then use the glucose in our cells for energy.
If you have diabetes, your body cannot move glucose from your blood into your cells well. This may happen because:
When glucose cannot go into your cells, it stays in the blood causing high blood glucose levels or "high blood sugar."
You are at higher risk for diabetes if you:
If you are a women, you may be at higher risk of diabetes if you:
Talk about these risk factors with your health care provider.
Learning about healthy eating and diabetes will take some time. The good news is there is a lot of support and information available. Registered Dietitians who work in Diabetes Education Programs can give you trusted nutrition advice tailored to your needs.

Try to be active for at least 150 minutes/week. That's about 30 minutes/day on five days of the week. You can start with 10 minutes at a time.
Make sure to do both resistance exercise (like lifting weights) and aerobic exercise (like walking, swimming or playing sports). Choose activities that you enjoy and can do with your family.
If you are new to physical activity, speak to your health care provider before getting started. For more tips read Physical Activity and Diabetes.
If you are overweight or obese, losing even 5 percent of your body weight can help prevent pre-diabetes from developing into diabetes.
For tips on losing weight in a healthy way, read: Weight Control Strategies that Work and Healthy Eating for a Healthy Waist.
If you need medication to control cholesterol, blood pressure or other conditions, take them as prescribed.
Yes. If diabetes is not managed well, high blood glucose can lead to other health conditions like:
If you are over 40 years old and have some of the risk factors above, speak to your doctor about being screened for diabetes. Screening includes a simple blood test to see how much glucose is in your blood.
You can also take the Canadian Diabetes Risk Questionnaire (CANRISK) and talk to your health care provider about the results.

INWOOD - Jefferson coach Buzz Jackson sees one main inconsistency with his team - pitching.
Berkeley Post 14 coach Scott Jenkins has seen his team not show up for games at times, his team's biggest inconsistency.
Both coaches think their teams are hard to beat without those weaknesses and pretty easy to beat when those weaknesses appear.

On Tuesday, the Wildcats got strong pitching, and the Knights didn't play their best. That resulted in a 6-4 win for Jefferson.
"That was a big win for us," Jackson said.
Although the game wasn't an official league contest, counting toward the area tournament, the win will certainly give the Wildcats momentum going into today's game between the two teams, which does count as an official league game. The nine-inning game is at 5:30 p.m. in Inwood.
"I don't know what it is, but sometimes we have these kind of games where we don't play as well as we can," Jenkins said. "We came from playing on the road, and we played extremely well against some good teams. We'll come back (today) and be ready to go."
For Jefferson to pull off a second straight win over Post 14, it will have to be solid in all three areas like it was Tuesday.
Jefferson got a solid pitching performance from reliever Logan Maloney, who, for the most part, shut down Berkeley Post 14 after it notched three runs in the first inning. He allowed just one run in five innings of relief.
"We haven't pitched well in our losses," Jackson said. "I thought we pitched well today. Logan did a tremendous job."
Jefferson scored a run in the first inning but fell behind 3-1 after one inning when Berkeley Post 14 posted three runs off Wildcats starter Kyle Boone. Highlighting the inning was Daniel Heleine with a two-run homer to left-center field.
The Wildcats quickly responded with two runs in the second inning, then scored two more runs in the fourth inning to take a 5-3 lead.
In the second, Garrett Everton hit a long single that scored Paul Witt and Cody McDowell to the game at 3-3.
In the fourth inning, Jared Silva walked and Anthony DiAmario later singled to put two runners on with two outs. Seth Campbell followed with a double to score both Silva and DiAmario and put Jefferson ahead 5-3.
"I thought we hit the ball hard. We didn't strike out a lot, and we put the ball in play," Jackson said. "We have a strong lineup one through nine."
Berkeley also has a tough lineup, and Post 14 made a comeback, cutting the lead to 5-4 in the sixth inning with a run. After Darrin Zombro singled and Trey Thompson reached on an error, Jarin Jenkins ripped a double into right-center field to score Zombro.
That's as close as Berkeley got, despite getting two runners on in the seventh inning.
Post 14 had trouble bringing runners in all game, including failing to score in the third inning with a runner on second and third with no outs.
"Not scoring with a guy on second and third and no outs, that's a backbreaker," Jenkins said. "We have a solid lineup, so these guys definitely know how to hit the ball. Sometimes you hit the ball poorly and manage a hit, and sometimes you hit the ball well and it's right to somebody. That's the just the way it goes.
"We probably outhit them, and we usually do, even in our losses. We had a couple unearned runs, as well, so that was big."
Berkeley finished with a 9-5 advantage in hits. Jarin Jenkins, Heleine and Jacob Whitmore each had two hits to lead Post 14. For the Wildcats, Everton and Campbell each had a hit and two RBI.

Pakistan rejects allegation of killing of civilians in IHK
ISLAMABAD, Aug. 3 (APP)- Pakistan Wednesday said that the initial reports do not rule out the possibility of killings of many civilian lives resulting from firing by the Indian forces. Asked to comment, the Foreign Office Spokesman said, Pakistan has already condemned the reported loss of many civilian lives in an attack on August 1 near Pahalgam in Indian Held Kashmir. On previous occasions, terrorist acts aimed at civilians have been carried out by renegade elements, at the behest of the Indian security forces to malign the Kashmiri freedom struggle internationally. He was responding to a New Delhi report quoting Indian premier Attal Behari Vajpayee alleging that groups owing allegiance to Pakistan were involved in the killing of innocent civilians. Brushing aside the claim, the Spokesman said the international community expects India to end its repression against Kashmiri people and sincerely pursue a negotiated settlement of the Kashmiri problem. "It is an attempt to divide the Kashmiri freedom movement, which has shown great determination and has remained united in the case of years of brutal Indian repression," the Spokesman said. The Kashmiri freedom struggle, he said, is an indigenous matter and is being waged by the Kashmiri people themselves. The Spokesman said that at the present important juncture when India is beginning to realise the futility of its efforts to impose a military solution of Kashmir, it is attempting to divide the Kashmiri freedom movement, which has shown great determination and has remained united in the face of years of brutal Indian repression.

Lore and Legends
Mysteries of the Wood River Valley
ILLUSTRATIONS Michael Wertz
(page 3 of 4)
Even by the mid-1980s, the young and restless of the Wood River Valley had a subset that sustained itself by lackadaisical work and a host of chemical concoctions. And, thus, the story of the Moss Man begins.
In March of 1984, cross-country skiers reported to the Blaine County Sheriff's Office that a man—with peeling skin and green moss on his back—was living in the wide, shallow, natural mineral hot pool at Frenchman's Bend in the Smoky Mountains, about ten miles west of Ketchum on Warm Springs Road. On the ground nearby were the man's frozen clothes.
The deputies extracted the semi-coherent, 6' 2'' interloper and carted him off to the old St. Moritz Hospital, where doctors were flabbergasted. The man, then 20-year-old Hailey resident Timothy Hammerbeck, claimed to have been living in the pool for 28 days.
After initially settling in for a long, quiet, speed-heightened soak, Hammerback was horrified to discover that his clothes, lying on the ground by the hot springs, had frozen. It was bitterly cold, and putting on his icy outfit, he declared, was out of the question. Even leaving the pool for a few moments to get fresh water from Warm Springs Creek resulted in his feet beginning to freeze. So he stayed in the 90-plus-degree water, only leaving as infrequently as possible to get a drink. He figured there would soon be a spring thaw and he could get back into his clothes.
Having resigned himself to being trapped in the hot water, Hammerback held fast to his resolve and bobbed around for days that flowed into weeks. He was observed by some people who dismissed him as unhinged and moved on. A man on a snowmobile gave him a bottle of beer—his only nourishment—and, as he later recalled, "probably the best beer I ever had in my life." The hospital doctor estimated he lost 60 pounds during his immersion.
Current Blaine County Sheriff Walt Femling, one of the officers who came to extract Hammerback, told Outside magazine for an article done more than a decade after the soggy event that the Moss Man had basically spent the winter sleeping in the post office, before taking his historic dip.
