Thank you for visiting PhotoEmphasis' Rochester NY wedding photography:
Please note: I am not booking any more weddings for 2016 and 2017
Please enjoy the slide show above as it is part of my wedding portfolio. My name is Dan and I am the only photographer who will photograph your wedding. I have been photographing weddings for about sixteen years with roughly six hundred and fifty weddings delivered. I primarily cover Rochester NY and all of upstate with resources to photograph destination weddings. Please have a look around and complete the contact form above to schedule a consultation or give me a call to discuss your wedding day. I am passionate about what I do and look forward to sharing that passion with you. If you're interested in senior pictures, I offer unique cost effective sessions. Please take a few minutes to check my recently updated seniors' slide show.
"The best value in wedding photography bar none."
When you hire PhotoEmphasis you will receive an engagement session with most packages and like your wedding all retouched images will be delivered on DVD with a release! Click the following link if you would like to see some engagement photo samples.
Do you know couples I've photographed?
After many years' experience as a photographer you should take solace in the fact that I will be the one photographing your wedding. It's been said by some that my photography prices are lower than the average for high quality professional wedding photography; the reason is simple: overhead. Take a portfolio and determine for yourself why many of my couples have said: "PhotoEmphasis is the best value in wedding photography bar none." If you want professional high quality wedding photography, professional service, and courteous family interaction and schedule a consultation. Need more? Just show me the reviews.
Speaking of my blog, during the wedding season my blog will be your way of tracking my progress; you'll be able to see the weddings that have been completed (with a sample set from each wedding) and weddings that have been photographed pending processing and those that have not been photographed yet.
Price verses Photographer's Portfolio:
Carefully consider my portfolio and the price that I am offering. You don't have to spend a fortune for superior photographs and professional Photojournalistic coverage. Many others have agreed and you may too that PhotoEmphasis is the best value regardless of price.
What's Included in Wedding Packages?
All edited high resolution images with release for the bride and groom and their parents in most packages online gallery for viewing and ordering, unlimited venues, up to 12 hours of coverage, free shipping on print orders for anyone purchasing from your online gallery, and engagement session with several packages. You can view pricing here and when we meet I will provide a full price list. PhotoEmphasis does not limit the number of edited photos; all photos are fully edited and given to you on DVD, always. On average couples can expect around 1000 photographs. If you think you need two photographers, consider this:
Do you offer two photographers?
"Within the last several years dual photographer coverage has become expected by some couples due to marketing and the perceived "two is better than one" scenario. Few weddings benefit from multiple photographers, which can be intrusive–especially if you hire a videographer; furthermore, a professional photographer's main objective is to tell your wedding story from start to finish–a photographic essay if you will, and a coherent essay from multiple photographers is less likely. If your wedding is one of the few that benefit from dual photographers, careful time-line planning will minimize those benefits while providing non-intrusive coverage on your wedding day. The biggest mistake you can make when choosing a photographer is to base your decision on the fact that you think you need two photographers for adequate coverage; nothing can be further from the truth. Your decision should be based on a photographer's portfolio and price. If you think a second photographer is still a requirement one is offered as an option for a nominal charge and I would be glad to discuss it with you."
A Photographer's Philosophy:
I am not there to change, alter or modify your wedding in any way; rather, my goal as your photographer is to capture precise moments as a Photojournalist and traditional photography people have come to expect. I define on-location photography as the time I spend with the bride and groom and their bridal party; this is another opportunity to capture the kinds of photographs you see throughout my portfolio. Your reception is a very special part of your day, from the time you're introduced until the time I leave we will have minimal interaction.
What Areas do Photographers Cover?
Based in Rochester NY, I photograph weddings in all of upstate NY. In addition to shooting weddings in Rochester, I also specifically cover Buffalo & Syracuse and points east such as Rome and Utica including the southern-tier. I routinely photograph weddings and engagement sessions around the Finger Lakes including venues such as Belhurst Castle located in Geneva. There is a nominal adder for travel for some locations, but the travel time is not subtracted from your wedding photography coverage. I have been photographing weddings in and around Rochester and Buffalo for 13 years averaging between forty to fifty weddings per year and I look forward to talking to you about your wedding day.
Contact Rochester NY based PhotoEmphasis:
Contact me to schedule a consultation; the purpose of which is two-fold: to understand your wedding plans and provide sample prints in the form of complete wedding albums. Because I am in this business full-time I'm always available to talk to you and answer questions.

Aww, so nice! Christina Aguilera pours her heart out in the music video for "Say Something", A Great Big World's first single from their upcoming debut album "Is There Anybody Out There?" (January 2014) which they have transformed from its original solo version to a duet with the "Genie In A Bottle" pop star. Watch above!
Such a beautiful piano ballad. It's so tranquil, and although the lyrics are kind of sad, it gives me hope. As for the "Say Something" video, exclusively premiered via ETOnline.com on Tuesday (Nov.19), I like the simplicity of it. It fits the vibe of the song. I could feel Christina's emotion in each of her lyrics. She was so on the verge of crying at some points. Also, I kind of feel bad for A Great Big World member Chad Vaccarino. He has no participation in the song and the video of what could be the band's biggest hit.

Senate Casts First Health Care Vote
Hazel Trice Edney | 12/21/2009, 12:28 p.m.
The U.S. Senate has finally taken a procedural vote toward passage of a health care bill with a final vote expected this week, just in time for Christmas as President Barack Obama had hoped.
A 60-40 vote taken early Monday morning, Dec. 21, was a cloture vote, a procedure that prevented Republicans from filibustering, the act of prolonging or stalling the final vote. The vote €" with all 60 being Democrats - all but guarantees a passage of the bill considered by President Obama to be €landmark reform that will finally reduce the cost of health care.€
He said in his weekly radio address on Friday, €When it becomes law, families will save on their premiums. Small businesses and Americans who don€t get any insurance today through their employers will no longer be forced to pay punishingly high rates to get coverage.€
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and other Senate leaders credited for the initial vote, said that the bill expands coverage to more than 94 percent of Americans under 65 years of age, including over 31 million uninsured.
But the bill, called the €Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act€, is not all that Black legislators wanted for their constituents who suffer most from health care costs and no benefits, often due to low pay, lack of jobs and higher illness rates. Early in the House of Representatives debate, Black lawmakers had vowed to block any bill that did not have a public option. A public option would not only provide free or low priced quality health care for those not able to pay, but would force private insurers to lower their prices because of the public competition.The House version that passed narrowly last month has a public option that was applauded by the Congressional Black Caucus, as well as other color Caucuses that had united for that cause, but the Senate version does not.
In January, leaders in the two houses of Congress will begin the grueling process of trying to mesh the two bills €" requiring compromise and attempts to salvage the best of both bills before taking a final vote.
By NNPA deadline, CBC Chair Barbara Lee had not released a statement on the Senate version voted on Monday morning. But following the passage of the House bill last month, she vowed to fight until the end for the public option.
€When others were pronouncing health reform dying €" and the public option dead and buried €"we kept on fighting,€ Lee said after the House passage. €And we will keep fighting until a final health care bill is on the president€s desk that includes not only a strong public option, but provisions to achieve health equity, eliminate health disparities and to limit the rate of increase for those with private plans.€
However, given the political stakes for Democrats, it is not likely that either Senate or House Democrats will allow the bill to fail completely no matter what the cost. Also, future amendments can be made to the bill.
Democrats began celebrating immediately after the vote around 1 a.m. Monday morning.
€Tonight the Senate took another major step on the road to finally delivering health insurance reform to the American people,€ Democratic Party Chairman Tim Kaine said in a statement emailed around 1:35 a.m.
€If it, or health reform legislation passed by the House of Representatives were to become law, would represent the most significant piece of social and economic legislation since Social Security, and would be the largest expansion of health care coverage since Medicare passed in 1965.€
Kaine and Senate Democratic leaders boast that the bill would:
€ Extend coverage to more than 30 million Americans;
€ End abusive insurance industry practices, like denying coverage because of a pre-existing condition or canceling someone€s coverage when they get sick;
€ Strengthen Medicare and extend the life of the Medicare trust fund;
€ Help small businesses provide their employees affordable insurance;
€ And reduce the national deficit by 132 billion in the first 10 years, and hundreds of billions more in the years after that.
Under the persistent leadership of the now late Sen. Ted Kennedy, seven presidents unsuccessfully tried to reform the nation€s health care system. His widow, Victoria, has lobbied hard for the passage. Obama€s ability to establish the political traction to do what seven presidents could not, will undoubtedly cause him to regain significant political traction after slipping in national polls.
€Thanks to Democratic senators who worked hard to find common ground and the extraordinary leadership and vision of President Obama, the fundamental change that has eluded this country for decades, is finally within reach,€ Kaine stated.
Republicans are livid. At almost the same time as Kaine€s statement, Republican National Committee Chairman emailed a release saying, €A top down bureaucratic government-run health care system that will cost nearly a trillion dollars is not what the American people want. If the liberals in Congress don€t understand this by now €" they will when the voters give them a pink slip in 2010.€
Actually, the Senate legislation will cost about $871 billion, compared to the House€s $1 trillion version, a higher cost largely due to the public option.
Once the final vote comes on Thursday, Dec. 24, Christmas Eve, the January reconciliation of the two bills will likely be as acrimonious as the debates leading to passage. But, in the long-run, Obama concludes the common ground in the bills will be well worth his signature.
€Both the House and Senate bills would make it against the law for insurance companies to deny you coverage on the basis of a pre-existing condition or illness. Both would stop insurers from charging exorbitant premiums on the basis of age, health, or gender. Both would prevent insurance companies from dropping your coverage when you get sick. And both would put a limit on how much you have to pay out of pocket for the treatments you need in a year or lifetime,€ Obama said.
€Simply put, the protections currently included in both the health insurance reform bill passed by the House and the version currently on the Senate floor would represent the toughest measures we€ve ever taken to hold the insurance industry accountable. Anyone who says otherwise simply hasn€t read the bills."
He added, €Let€s deliver on the promise of health insurance reforms that will make our people healthier, our economy stronger, and our future more secure. And as this difficult year comes to a close, let€s show the American people that we are equal to the task of meeting our great challenges.€

i finally made the decision... so where are all my fellow Berkeleyans? What are you guys majoring in?
Does anyone know if Berkeley allows you to choose your roomate? Anyone know any cool places around Berkeley?
|By Lethalfang (Lethalfang) on Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 10:02 pm: Edit
I'm sure if two people agree to be roommates, they will be able to arrange it for you.
About cool places.... watch some football, and watch some basketball. Cal basketball is on the verge of being a big-time program, and Cal football is on the rise with the new coach who turned around the program big time. Hass Pavilion is probably the best basketball venue in Pac-10, and one of the best in the country. Memorial stadium is old, but the view is great during a football game. You can see the Golden Gate Bridge and everything.
|By Mzinn (Mzinn) on Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 10:04 pm: Edit
awesome. hey, you seem to know alot about life/academics at Berkeley... (edit: obviously since you go there) any advice for a Cal Freshman?
|By Lethalfang (Lethalfang) on Wednesday, April 30, 2003 - 10:59 pm: Edit
Be focused from day one. That is the hardest thing to do.
Many freshman (myself included when I was one) are too happy in their first semester. They spend hours chatting w/ frinds, talking on the phone (for girls) with high school friends, party a bit too much, go out at night a bit too much, basically doing all the things they will regret after the 4th or 5th week. By then they will have their 1st ever exam in college and totally bomb it.
Oh, when midterms come, they come in bunches. If you don't study enough, you'll bomb so many exams in such a short period of time, it'll put "shock-and-awe" to the level of high schoolers.
|By Mzinn (Mzinn) on Thursday, May 01, 2003 - 02:04 am: Edit
lol, shock and awe. just sent in my SIR today. oh yeah... I'm thinking about taking 3 classes my first semester, do you think that's reasonable? I know it's probably a light load, but I already have alot of credits (AP, JC) and I'll be taking 1 more JC class this summer. Is it common for freshmen to take 3 classes the first semester?
btw, thanks for the advice. Most students I ask are just like "umm yeah... study hard."
|By Lethalfang (Lethalfang) on Thursday, May 01, 2003 - 02:29 am: Edit
You don't necessarily need to study your butt off the first year, but stay focused. Too often freshmen just completely forgot to study and that's how they get their asses kicked in first year.
It is common for freshmen to take only 3 classes, but then again, some freshmen (like me) took 3 really tough classes and still managed to screw up.
Those AP credits usually are just credits, they don't satisfy many, if any, major or graduation requirements.
|By Mzinn (Mzinn) on Thursday, May 01, 2003 - 03:03 am: Edit
what do you know about the residence halls? it says Unit 1 is a "subtance free environment".. what does that mean?
Are there any significant differences between units 1 and 2?
|By Lethalfang (Lethalfang) on Thursday, May 01, 2003 - 03:10 am: Edit
Foothill is significantly better, all others suck. That's why Princeton Review rates berkeley #9 in "dorms like dungeons."
|By Sluggbugg (Sluggbugg) on Thursday, May 01, 2003 - 02:46 pm: Edit
Ditto on what lethalfang said. If you start to tank, remember that a lot of other people are probably going through the same funk as you are. They'll still bite you in the a**, so don't let your guard down too much.
Give yourself some time to play. Take a shuttle up the hill to the Lawrence Hall of Science and just hang out for a few hours. It's a good place to give your brain a rest. (Not the same as Lawrence Berkeley Lab. Whatever they're manufacturing up there, it's not warm & fuzzy!)
LHS is a fun, hands-on, science museum, with superb views of Berkeley, the Bay Area, and the Golden Gate Bridge. Expect lots of families and kiddos on the weekends. The student admission is pretty reasonable, around $5, I think. I worked in the biology lab teaching classes and taking care of the critters during my last 2 years at Cal.
Along Grizzly Peak Road, there are a couple of turnouts where you can watch the sunset over the Bay, or watch the fog roll in over the GG Bridge. You can see Alcatraz Island, Treasure Island, and the City skyline. It's a good way to recharge your engine.
My dd's favorite clothing place is the Buffalo Exchange. You can get CHEAP, hip clothes in great condition. I think it's down Telegraph Ave. Also on Telegraph, Cody's is the perennial favorite for new/used books, and Moe's is a big, grubby, 4-story building full of cool, used books. If you're looking for Shakespeare, Moe's is the place to go.
Cal football is a blast in the Fall, especially the Big Game against Stanford. There is zero parking around the stadium on game days. I highly recommend the Cal women's basketball games. It's just a really fun crowd, less crowded, and tickets are usually available. Hop on BART and take in an A's game every now & then. BART will drop you off right at the entrance to the Oakland Coliseum.
Great places to eat around Berkeley:
Juan's Mexican Food - Carlton & 9th
Vik's Indian Food - 5th & Addison
Spenger's - Casual, best fish place around - 4th & Euclid
Betty's Ocean View Diner - also on 4th, I think.
Chez Panisse - romantic, expensive, but worth it!
|By Erin (Erin) on Thursday, May 01, 2003 - 06:36 pm: Edit
I noticed Sluggbugg mentioned Spenger's and it reminded me of a really random story. The other night my parents had friends over for dinner and they made two different kinds of fish. They were like "Gosh, I hope they like fish." Then they were talking to them at dinner and it turns out they own Spenger's. It was embarassing.

Inquiry Based Approaches to
Theory and Practice
Return to Wilfred's Web Page
It is nothing short of a miracle that the modern methods of instruction have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiosity of enquiry.
- Albert Einstein, Ideas and Opinions
Web Site Objectives: To bring together in one place summaries and links of key concepts, practices and materials relating to Inquiry or Problem Based science education.
Definition: Inquiry based approaches to science education focus on student constructed learning as opposed to teacher-transmitted information.
Recent discoveries in psychology and brain neurophysiology have led to many new and renewed theories of learning. Inquiry based curriculum and teaching techniques have emerged as a combination of several theories such as, "contructivism", "Blooms taxonomy of learning", "multiple intelligences", "whole-language" and "accelerated learning". In simple terms it is a learning process or strategy rather than any specific set of lessons. This process aims to enhance learning based on (1) increased student involvement, (2) multiple ways of knowing and (3) sequential phases of cognition. By using student derived investigations knowledge is more relevant and meaningful. This investment in the curriculum and learning process leads to active construction of meaningful knowledge, rather than passive acquisition of facts transmitted from a lecturer. Next, by engaging students' multiple intelligences more types of students are successful contributors and students are engaged on more than one level. In addition, this process mirrors the stages of Blooms learning phases, which leads to more complete cognition by building on previously learned knowledge. Lastly, the student to student collaboration reinforces assimilation of knowledge, while the teacher to student collaboration builds trust for future discovery. Also known as project based curriculum, it typically adheres to the following guidelines:
The chart below compares characteristics of inquiry-based approaches to more traditional approaches.
|Principle Learning Theory
|Student Participation
|Student Involvement in Outcomes
|Increased Responsibility
|Decreased Responsibility
|Student Role
|Problem solver
|Direction follower
|Curriculum Goals
|Process oriented
|Product oriented
|Teachers Role
|Director/ transmitter
Why Put Theory into Practice?
Inquiry based curriculum has been shown to develop independent and critical thinking skills, positive attitudes and curiosity toward science and increased achievement in biological content (Hall & McCudy, 1990), (Kyle et al, 1988), (Kyle et al, 1982), and (Shymansky, 1984). Leonard (1983) showed that university students who completed a semester long introductory biology laboratory designed on inquiry based approaches achieved 6% higher grades on biology content exams as opposed to the control group which completed a more traditional information-transmission modeled laboratory. Given its initial signs of success, inquiry based education still has few practitioners. As with any new pedagogy, it faces a myriad of opposing forces. Little to no training in pre-service teacher education and lack of administrative support given that it can be more labor and material demanding are among the biggest obstacles. But as Thiers (2001) argues in his book, Developing Inquiry-Based Science Materials: A Guide for Educators, there are important economic, environmental and social realities that demand new science skills and literacy from our students today. He sites from a 1992, US Department of Education report, Measurements of Workforce Readiness Competencies, "…the need for higher-order thinking skills…is expected of even entry level members of the American workforce" (p. 2). Likewise, Polman (2000) sites the Secretary's Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills (SCANS,1991), which argues that the information-oriented and service-oriented sectors of the economy requires more active problem-solvers, rather than passive direction-followers. This contrast between molding problem-solvers versus direction-followers is exactly what Inquiry based curriculum addresses.
How to Put Theory into Practice:
Hubbard (2001) identifies three essential factors - risk, trust, and power - that helped her develop and change curriculum and methods in her classroom. To begin the process of change demands the teacher to take a risk with expected outcomes, but in order to engage students and make topics more relevant, the teacher must trust the students to choose significant and meaningful topics. This requires the teacher to relinquish some power as all-knowing director and subsume a co-learner position. These factors are important guiding principles for initiating immediate change in the classroom. However, in order for the change to be significant and lasting other factors have to be considered.
Collaboration from other teachers, other departments and top administrators is the most important agent for change. In actual curriculum and material development, collaboration from a diversity of experts ranging from graphic designers, marketers and professional in the particular field of interest, is also a key ingredient to lasting change. This type of collaboration demands a concerted effort in time, money and staffing. Most teachers are not in the position to embark on such an endeavor, but still wish to change curriculum. In that case, the set of web links listed below represent some useful sites where curriculum, materials and supplies can be obtained and more can be learned about inquiry based education theory and methodology.

Must Reads1 of 16
By Jessica Grose for ELLE
When E. Jean Carroll interviewed Fear of Flying author Erica Jong for ELLE's November issue, she mentioned a few books that "gave women ideas," classics of gender studies. While there are a lot of excellent lists of must-read literature for women, E. Jean's list got us thinking about other books that could be in the category of "giving women ideas." Which is to say, the following 15 books were culture bombs that sparked discussion and challenged mainstream beliefs at the time in which they were written.
A Vindication of the Rights of Woman2 of 16
By Mary Wollstonecraft (1792)
In the 18th Century, the notion of educating a woman was considered radical. Wollstonecraft argued that women deserved to be in the public sphere—no small feat at the time.
ON ELLE: 10 Books to Read After a Breakup
Pride & Prejudice3 of 16
By Jane Austen (1813)
England of the 19th Century was incredibly stratified. in Pride & Prejudice, Austen subtly satirized class-based snobbery, and though she doesn't subvert the system entirely, Fitzwilliam Darcy and Lizzie Bennet remain one of the most beloved couples in English literature.
A Room of One's Own4 of 16
By Virginia Woolf (1929)
The notion that "a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction," is now so ingrained it's difficult to think back to when such a statement was revolutionary. But Woolf's argument set forth in A Room of One's Own would ultimately become a rallying cry for mid-century feminist intellectuals.
The Second Sex5 of 16
By Simone de Beauvoir (1949)
Considered the jump-off for the second wave of feminism, de Beauvoir pulled from multiple disciplines to explain the subordinate status of women throughout history. The Second Sex was so controversial it was placed on the Vatican's index of forbidden books.
The Golden Notebook6 of 16
By Doris Lessing (1962)
As Kate Winick put it in a post earlier this month on the occasion of Lessing's death, The Golden Notebook "deals with homosexuality, incest, rape, interracial love affairs, infidelity, and casual sex with a searing, honest sensuality," something that might be old hat today but was certainly radical in the early '60s.
Sex & the Single Girl7 of 16
By Helen Gurley Brown (1962)
Though a lot of HGB's advice seems dated now (cook for your man, don't eat and for god sake don't let your arms get too flabby?!), in Sex and the Single Girl she encouraged young women to play around and to truly enjoy sex, several years before the sexual revolution of the late '60s and early '70s.
ON ELLE: The Thursday Guy is the Newest Problem For Single Ladies
The Feminine Mystique8 of 16
By Betty Friedan (1963)
In The Feminine Mystique, Friedan coined the phrase "the problem that has no name" to describe the housewife's lament. She taught middle class women that marriage, children and a neat suburban home were not always the path to fulfillment.
Ariel9 of 16
By Sylvia Plath (1965)
She might be best known for her roman à clef The Bell Jar, but Plath's final, posthumously published book of poetry, Ariel, was far more transgressive in its way. It gave women permission to be deeply, irrevocably angry.
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings10 of 16
By Maya Angelou (1969)
The personal is political is a cliché of the second wave, but Maya Angelou's first autobiography, which covers her youth and teenage years, embodies the phrase. She wrote about rape, teen pregnancy, and racism in gorgeous prose that raised consciousness and inspired so many women writers.
Fear of Flying11 of 16
by Erica Jong (1973)
Forty years after Jong introduced the term "zipless fuck" into the American lexicon, her novel Fear of Flying still feels sexy, devious and true. She was exploring non-monogamy decades before it became even marginally acceptable.
The Woman Warrior12 of 16
By Maxine Hong Kingston (1975)
Kingston mixed Chinese folk stories with memoir and her family's stories to explore her experience as a Chinese-American woman in Woman Warrior. She grappled with assimilation and the expectations of her family, and bent genre in a way that's still fresh.
The White Album13 of 16
By Joan Didion (1979)
Arguably the best female essayist of the modern era, Didion stuns with this collection. She catalogues her nervous breakdown in the titular essay, but she also takes on the women's movement, Georgia O'Keefe, and Ronald Reagan. Her infamous packing list alone makes The White Album necessary reading.
Ain't I a Woman?14 of 16
By bell hooks (1981)
Ain't I a Woman is a foundational text of intersectional feminism, explaining how the feminist movement failed to speak to women of color and the working class. hooks continues to be instrumental in calling out mainstream feminism for its racism and classism.
Paula15 of 16
By Isabel Allende (1995)
Allende is best known for her novel The House of the Spirits, but her memoir, Paula, is truly heartrending. It is in the form of a letter to her daughter Paula, who had fallen into a coma because she suffered from a rare disorder called porphyria. It is far reaching and revealing, and Allende discusses religion, politics, old lovers and her mother. The book begins thusly: "Listen Paula. I am going to tell you a story, so that when you wake up you will not feel so lost."
The Conflict16 of 16
By Elisabeth Badinter (2012)
Elisabeth Badinter believes that the trend of naturalism in motherhood—years of breastfeeding, co-sleeping and baby wearing—is just a stylish way to keep women down. You might not agree with Badinter that the ladies who started the La Leche League were "ayatollahs of breast-feeding," but you have to respect her willingness to start a fire with The Conflict.

Tu Pa
Last updated by chinatravel at 2016/5/3
Tu-pa is the food similar to Jiaozi (the Chinese dumpling), which is the favorite food in China, especially northern China. Method of making: put some chopped meat on a piece of flat round dough strip and roll up it, put the ends together, just as how Chinese people make Jiaozi. Tu-pa is the food for the family reunion dinner, usually held on December 29 of the Tibetan lunar calendar. Sometimes small pieces of stones, capsicums, charcoals or wool threads are put in Tu-pa, each representing a special meaning. Stone means that the people who happen to pick up this Tu-pa will be stonehearted in the next year. Woolen thread means a kind heart. Charcoal means the vicious mind. Capsicum means a loose tongue. Of course those special Tu-pas do not really mean those bad things. They are just for fun. No matter who happen to take that Tu-pa, they immediately spit it out. People laugh happily then. This habit really adds to the fun and happiness of the festival.

Get Tirtouga/Archen
Go to the Relic Castle and the top floor will contain a pair of fossils. The Cover Fossils will become Tirtouga and the Plume Fossil will become Archen. You can only choose one, so you'll have to trade for the other.
Leader Elesa Strategy
Elesa uses Electric-types, but don't think a Ground-type will get your through single-handedly, because Elesa opens up with two Electric/Flying-type Emolgas. Attacking directly isn't advised, either, because of Emolga's Static ability. Use Rock-type attacks on the Emolgas to take them out. When Elesa is down to Zebstrika, bring out your...
Leader Skyla Strategy
Skyla brings out Flying-types, so this shouldn't be too hard. Start with a Dark-type to take out the Psychic/Flying-type Swoobat. An Electric or Ice-type can quickly take down Unfezant. And if you have an Electric-type, Swanna should pose absolutely no threat.
Ghetsis Boss Fight
Ghetsis is the game's final boss and represents Team Plasma's last stand. You'll have a very powerful lead Pokemon in the form of the legendary Reshiram, but Ghetsis has a plan for it with his opening Ghost-type, Cofagrigus. Cofagrigus will try and open with Toxic, so immediately switch out Reshiram with a Steel-type so Toxic has no effect....
Leader Brycen Strategy
Brycen uses Ice-types, but none of his Pokemon's moves will freeze your Pokemon, so don't be afraid of that. Hit Vanillish and Cryogonal hard with Fire-type moves, but be careful with Beatric. Beatric can take out your Fire-type with the Water-type move Brine, so consider using a Fighting-type here, instead.
Leader Burgh Strategy
Burgh uses Bug-types, so a Flying or Fire-type is recommended. Whirlpede comes out first and a Fire or Flying-type will dispatch it easily. Dwebble will likely come out next and that's a Bug/Rock type, so a Fighting-type will work best against it. Leavanny is the last one and it's a Bug/Grass type, so Fire and Flying-type attacks will hit for 4x...
Leader Drayden Strategy
You'll face Drayden in Black and he'll use three dangerous Dragon-types. Fraxure will try and warm up with Dragon Dance, so immediately hit it with Ice-type moves before it can boost up. Druddigon is extremely dangerous, as it'll wipe out many of your Pokemon with Revenge. Wear it down with moves like Leech Seed and hit it with...
Leader Lenora Strategy
Lenora uses Dark-types, so bring in a Fighting-type. But be ready for the opening Herdier, which will chop your attack with its Intimidate ability. Watchog will freely use Hypnosis, so be ready for it and attack with Fighting-type attacks.
Leader Cilan/Chili/Cress Strategy
Cilan/Chili/Cress is a unique Gym Leader battle in that their last Pokemon will differ depending on who your starter is. Their final Pokemon will always be a type that matches up well against your starter, so compensate for that by picking up a Pansage/Pansear/Panpour from the Dreamyard. Pick your monkey wisely.
Leader Clay Strategy
Clay is a Ground-type specialist and opens up with the Dark/Ground-type Krokorok. A Water or Grass-type can take down Krokorok, but make sure it's a quick one, or Krokorok will hit with Swagger. Put the Water-type away for Clay's Palpitoad and bring out a Grass-type, which can hit Palpitoad for 4x damage. Clay's Excadrill will hit hard, so try...

Congressional Science Fellowship
About the Fellowship | Current Fellow | Hall of Fame | Reports
Hall of Fame
Raphael Sagarin
Rafe Sagarin earned a B.S. in Earth Systems from Stanford University in 1994. Sagarin was drawn to the Earth Systems program because it sought to break down academic barriers between the traditionally disparate fields of biology, earth sciences, economics and public policy. Accordingly, Sagarin's research is broadly focused and he has continually worked to highlight the links between his scientific work and conservation policy.
As an undergraduate Sagarin attended Stanford University's Washington, D.C. program where he studied Endangered Species Act law and interned at The Wilderness Society. In Washington, D.C. he realized that he could be a more credible and effective advocate for conservation if he had a solid scientific background. Thus, Sagarin enrolled in the Ph.D. program in the department of Ecology, Evolution and Marine Biology at the University of California, Santa Barbara, earning his degree in 2001. His dissertation worked focused on documenting responses of coastal marine communities to climate warming using historical and observational techniques. Sagarin's research took him to the shores of Chile and the Pacific coast of North America from Baja California, Mexico to southern Alaska.
More recently, Sagarin has analyzed long-term records of the timing of annual natural events such as ice thaw and bird migrations as a method of documenting natural systems' responses to climate change. In this work he has stressed the importance of non-traditional data sets such as amateur observations, merchant ship logs, and even gambling contest records in linking pre-21st century climate change to changes in other components of the Earth system. Sagarin is also a participant in an interdisciplinary collaboration with Mexican scientists and resource managers to study the successes and failures of small-scale fisheries in maintaining resource and ecosystem integrity along the Pacific coast of Mexico. In Spring 2002, Sagarin designed and taught undergraduate courses on the science and politics of global environmental problems for California State University Monterey Bay.
Sagarin considers it a great honor to be selected as a GSA fellow and is excited to return to Washington, D.C. with the perspective of a scientist. He looks forward to working with past and present fellows to help bolster the role of earth science in policy decisions. He is especially interested in working on climate change and energy issues as well as fisheries conservation. He also hopes to use his participation in GSA meetings and activities to highlight the connections between the geological and ecological sciences.

Introduction: The effects of glargine/glulisine insulin regimen on exercise blood glucose (BG) and strategies to limit exercise-induced hypoglycemia are not well documented. Intermittent high-intensity exercise has been proposed to prevent hypoglycemia, but its effect in participants with type 1 diabetes using glargine/glulisine is unknown.
Methods: The study used a repeated-measures design with three randomly ordered exercise conditions. Eleven participants completed 60 min of moderate-intensity exercise at 50% V˙O2peak for all conditions. These conditions varied as follows: participants ingested 0 g of glucose preexercise (0G + MOD), 30 g of glucose preexercise (30G + MOD), or 0 g of glucose preexercise but performed brief high-intensity intervals interspersed every 2 min (0G + MOD/INT) during exercise. If BG fell <4 mmol·L−1, a 20% dextrose solution was started to maintain BG between 4 and 5 mmol·L−1.
Results: Consuming 30 g of glucose before exercise (30G + MOD) resulted in a higher preexercise BG (11.7 ± 2.7 mmol·L−1) compared with 0 g of glucose before exercise (0G + MOD, 7.8 ± 4.0, and 0G + MOD/INT, 9.2 ± 3.5mmol·L−1), P < 0.05. A dextrose infusion was required in 7/11, 4/11, and 1/11 participants for 0G + MOD, 0G + MOD/INT, 30G + MOD conditions, respectively, P < 0.02. The duration and the quantity of dextrose infused were greatest in the 0G + MOD condition, moderate in the to 0G + MOD/INT condition, and minimal in the 30G + MOD condition, P < 0.01.
Conclusion: Our results suggest that both moderate-intensity exercise with a 30-g preexercise glucose beverage or interspersed with intermittent high-intensity sprints may be safe strategies to prevent hypoglycemia in glargine/glulisine users.
In adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), basal–bolus therapy using rapid and long-acting insulin analogs offers improved glycemic control versus regular human insulin (14). The health benefits of intensive diabetes control (17) may be offset by a significant increase risk of severe hypoglycemia at rest (10) and possibly even more during exercise. Physical activity must be integrated into diabetes management for its numerous benefits (20), but exercise-induced hypoglycemia may survene if diabetic treatment is not optimally coordinated (insulin reduction/carbohydrate (CHO) supplement) when T1DM individuals become active. Thus, it is critical to test strategies to prevent hypoglycemia, in particular, during and after moderate-intensity exercise, a strong recommendation in these patients at high risk of cardiovascular disease (20).
Many factors such as intensity, duration, and timing of the exercise; composition and time of the last meal before exercise; preexercise blood glucose (BG) level; insulin type and dose; and time and site of injection influence glucose kinetics during exercise (15, 9, 18, 7). The American Diabetes Association (ADA) (1) suggests that additional CHO may be required for unplanned exercise and proposes that approximately 10–15 g of CHO per hour of moderate physical activity would be sufficient for a 70-kg person. However, this recommendation is not precise with respect to the insulin regimen involved. Few reports have been published on newer insulin combinations based on widely used insulin analog, such as Lispro with either intermediate insulin Humulin (19) or long-acting insulin U (12) with respect to exercise. We have already studied the effect of exercise under a regimen of N-Lispro and found that for 60 min of late postbreakfast exercise followed by 60 min of recovery, an estimated 40 g of a liquid glucose supplement, ingested 15 min before exercise, maintained safe BG levels (4). In adult type 1 diabetes patients, glulisine and Lispro have comparable efficacy in terms of glycemic control and rates of symptomatic hypoglycemia when administered as a basal–bolus regimen with insulin glargine. Glulisine is a recently available rapid-acting insulin analog, and its effect in combination with glargine, a long-acting insulin analog, on exercise BG and specific precautions with glucose supplement in prevention of hypoglycemia during exercise are not well documented. Insulin glulisine may have properties that merit to be specifically studied. Indeed, glulisine has been useful in the treatment of allergy to rapid-acting insulin and its rapid acting analogs (11). To our knowledge, information evaluating the combination of insulin analogs glargine/glulisine in an exercise context is limited. Moreover, the combination of glargine/glulisine should be studied in specific exercise situations, that is, moderate versus intermittent high intensity.
A regimen of intermittent high-intensity exercise has been proposed to attenuate the decline in BG levels and has been recommended to minimize the risk of exercise-induced hypoglycemia in complication-free individuals with T1DM (6). Guelfi et al. (6) used the 4-s sprints performed every 2-min model to simulate the activity patterns of team sports. Other groups (16,5) have tested the effects of other sprint modalities (1 min with 1-min rest and 20-s efforts every 2 min, respectively) with interesting results. Therefore, we combined sprints duration of 10 s performed every 2 min for a longer period, i.e., 60 min. This exercise duration was also chosen to compare it with 60-min moderate-intensity session, a duration we already studied in previous trials with other insulin regimen. This exercise duration also mimics the usual duration of many sports (spinning session, ice hockey, etc.), but little is known about the effect of this regimen in glargine/glulisine insulin users.
Considering that no study has been performed with glargine/glulisine insulin in active patients with T1DM, the effect of a postprandial exercise supplement (30G) and intensity of exercise (moderate and high intensity) strategies on BG must be tested so that these participants may perform 60-min exercise with a reduced risk of hypoglycemia. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of a preexercise liquid glucose snack or a variable intensity exercise protocol on BG when a 60 min-exercise session is performed 120 min after lunch in glargine/glulisine insulin users.
Eleven moderately active participants with T1DM (five men and six women) participated in this study. The women, who were all taking oral contraceptives, were studied in the follicular menstrual phase (3). Participants were free of diabetic complications and had no contraindication for exercise. All participants were on the basal–bolus insulin regimen using an insulin analog glargine at bedtime and glulisine before every meal (insulin was provided by Sanofi-aventis Canada Inc., Laval, QC, Canada). This study was approved by the ethics committee of Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Québec, and all patients gave their informed written consent.
Premeal insulin (mean prelunch dose was 10.4 ± 3.9 U) was determined by a series of test meal to obtain a 2-h postlunch glucose value less than 2 mmol·L−1 above premeal levels. Participants were instructed not to engage in any preceding unusual or intense exercise on the days of exercise testing. Exercise tolerance was evaluated for each subject by using an incremental protocol of 15 W·min−1 (women) and 30 W·min−1 (men) after a warm-up period of 2 min performed on an electromagnetically braked cycle ergometer (Corival, Lode, The Netherlands) at a pedaling rate of 50 to 70 rpm. Participants were given strong verbal encouragement to exercise to the highest tolerated symptoms of fatigue or dyspnea. Exercise was terminated at this point and/or when participants were unable to maintain speed or ≥40 revolutions per minute on the ergocycle. Expired air was continuously recorded on a breath-by-breath basis for the determination of V˙O2, carbon dioxide production (V˙CO2), V˙E, and the RER (V˙CO2/V˙O2). The HR was obtained from electrocardiographic monitoring. Blood pressure was measured every 2 min by using an automated sphygmomanometer with a headphone circuit option (Model 412; Quinton Instrument, Bothell, WA). V˙O2peak was defined as the mean V˙O2 recorded in the last 15 s of the incremental exercise protocol concurrent with an RER of 1.15 or greater.
Each participant performed 60 min of aerobic exercise on a cycle ergometer (Organic V3; Bodyguard Fitness, QC, Canada) at 50% of their previously determined V˙O2peak on two occasions and on one occasion with interspersed 10-s sprints at maximal effort every 2 min of the exercise period. Exercise sessions were monitored for HR and workload (W) and BG levels. Each participant performed in random order all three exercise experiments. Each experiment was separated by approximately 1 wk, during which time participants maintained their usual lifestyle and dietary regimen. Participants refrained from physical activity 24 h before every trial, and tests were conducted only in the absence of hypoglycemic episodes in the previous 24 h.
In an outpatient setting, each experiment started at 11:30 a.m. Participants were advised to maintain their routine in terms of meal, snack, and insulin dose. The subject's BG had to range between 4 and 12 mmol·L−1 to proceed to the experiment. After baseline sampling and 5 min before lunch, the participants injected their premeal insulin into the abdomen. Insulin doses remained identical for each participant in all experiments. A standard lunch provided 8 kcal·kg−1 (50% CHO, 30% lipids and 20% proteins) consisting of vegetarian lasagna, natural almonds, and unsweetened apple sauce and remained identical for each subject in all experiments. The study was performed using a repeated-measures design with three randomly ordered exercise conditions. Participants completed 60 min of moderate-intensity ergocycle exercise at 50% V˙O2peak for all conditions. The three exercise conditions varied as follows: participants ingested 0 g of CHO preexercise (sucaryl in 10% water solution) (0G + MOD), 30 g of CHO preexercise (30G + MOD), or 0 g of CHO preexercise but performed brief high-intensity intervals interspersed every 2 min (0G + MOD/INT) during the exercise trial. The exercise protocol was scheduled 120 min after lunch. The CHO beverage consisted of 8 mg·kg−1·min−1 of exercise of dextrose in 10% water solution given 15 min before the beginning of exercise period. All exercise sessions were followed by a 30-min recovery period.
During the experimental protocols, a catheter (Cathlon Clear, Johnson & Johnson, New Brunswick, NJ) was placed in an antecubital vein for sampling and kept patent by saline drip. Blood samples were collected from time −15 min at 5- to 30-min intervals for 2 h and then every 5 min during and after the exercise period to measure BG concentrations by using a Freestyle glucometer (Abbott, California). Blood samples were centrifuged for plasma and stored at −20°C for later analyses of glucose using a hexokinase method (13). Plasma C-peptide levels were assessed to document insulin secretion defect in this population. They were measured by a modification of the method of Heding (8) using polyclonal antibody (Fitzgerald, Acton, MA) and polyethylene glycol precipitation (13). Another catheter (Cathlon Clear, Johnson & Johnson) was placed in a contralateral antecubital vein for dextrose infusion, if needed. Therefore, a glucose clamp procedure adapted from DeFronzo et al. (2) was followed with a variable infusion of a 20% dextrose solution. If at any time during the testing conditions glucose levels fell below 4 mmol·L−1 or symptomatic hypoglycemia occurred, the dextrose infusion was initiated at a rate based on the drop in BG to maintain BG between 4 and 5 mmol·L−1. Each participant had to note his/her glycemia postexercise for a period of 24 h. Intensity of exercise was estimated by the Borg scale of perceived exertion with scores going from 6 to 20. Area under the curve was calculated for glycemia ≥8 mmol·L−1 from time 120 min (beginning of exercise) until the end of the experiment.
All values are expressed as means ± SE. Wilcoxon test was used to test group differences (P < 0.05). A multiple comparison procedure was performed using a Bonferroni correction to determine specific group differences with overall P values <0.016 considered as significant using JMP 7 of SAS.
Five men and six women participated in this study because both sexes are equally vulnerable to hypoglycemia and could benefit similarly from strategies tested in this study. Mean age was 26.5 ± 6.6 yr, body mass index was 25.8 ± 2.7 kg·m−2, weight was 74.1 ± 6.7 kg, C-peptide levels was 109 ± 121 pmol·L−1, and duration of diabetes was 12.2 ± 5.1 yr. Participants had a mean HbA1C of 7.3% ± 0.4% (range, 6.8–7.8) (Varia II; Bio-Rad, California). They were considered as moderately active as shown by their V˙O2peak values in Table 1. BG was similar between conditions at arrival as demonstrated in Table 2. The preexercise beverage of 30 g of glucose (30G + MOD) resulted in the higher preexercise BG of 11.7 ± 2.7 mmol·L−1 compared with 7.8 ± 4.0 and 9.2 ± 3.5 mmol·L−1, for 0G + MOD and 0G + MOD/INT conditions, respectively, P < 0.05. Glycemia excursions in time are presented in Figure 1. BG was significantly different between conditions with higher values in the 30G + MOD compared with 0G + MOD and 0G + MOD/INT between time 125 and 210 min (all P < 0.02).
The 60-min exercise period induced a BG change of −2.5 ± 3.3, −3.0 ± 2.2, and −3.7 ± 1.6 mmol·L−1 for the 0G + MOD, 0G + MOD/INT, and 30G + MOD, respectively, P = 0.49. The first half of exercise induced a similar BG change between conditions of −1.7 ± 2.0, −1.4 ± 1.2, and −1.1 ± 1.3 mmol·L−1 for the 0G + MOD, 0G + MOD/INT, and 30G + MOD, respectively, P = 0.70. The second half of exercise induced a mean BG change of −0.8 ± 1.8, −1.5 ± 1.6, and −2.6 ± 1.4 mmol·L−1 for 0G + MOD, 0G + MOD/INT, and 30G + MOD, respectively, P = 0.04. The exercise-induced BG drop was also calculated before dextrose infusion, and there was no significant difference with −4.9 ± 2.7, −3.5 ± 1.7, and −3.8 ± 1.5 mmol·L−1 for 0G + MOD, 0G + MOD/INT, and 30G + MOD, all P = 0.38.
The proportion of participants requiring a dextrose infusion was significantly different between sessions with 7/11, 4/11, and 1/11 participants for 0G + MOD, 0G + MOD/INT, and 30G + MOD, respectively, P < 0.02, but with no significant difference between 0G + MOD/INT and 30G + MOD. The duration of dextrose infusion was significantly longer for 0G + MOD condition and shorter for 0G + MOD/INT and 30G + MOD, P < 0.01 in all conditions, but not different between 0G + MOD/INT versus 30G + MOD. As expected, the quantity of dextrose infused was significantly higher for 0G + MOD condition and lower for 0G + MOD/INT and 30G + MOD, P < 0.01 in all conditions, but not different between 0G + MOD/INT versus 30G + MOD.
Mean scores on the Borg scale of perceived exertion was not significantly different between conditions during the exercise periods except at time 165 min (10.9 ± 2.0, 13.8 ± 2.4, and 11.9 ± 2.5) for the 0G + MOD, 0G + MOD/INT, and 30G + MOD conditions, respectively, all P = 0.02.
Area under the curve was calculated for glycemia ≥8 mmol·L−1 from time 120 min (beginning of exercise) until 210 min (end of study period), and there was a significant difference between conditions with mean values of 46.2 ± 94.0, 102.1 ± 149.4, and 192.8 ± 116.7 mmol·L·min−1 for the 0G + MOD, 0G + MOD/INT, and 30G + MOD conditions, respectively, all P = 0.03.
The effects of exercise in participants with T1DM on a basal–bolus regimen of glargine and glulisine are not well documented. Therefore, we examined the effect of three exercise protocols on BG values when a 60-min exercise session is performed, 120 min after lunch, in glargine/glulisine users. We found that intermittent high-intensity exercise and preexercise CHO liquid snack were both strategies that limited BG decrease during and following exercise and therefore offered strategic choices in the prevention of exercise-induced hypoglycemia.
Among the three exercise sessions, it was no surprise to note that the 0G + MOD condition was the modality with the most hypoglycemia and with higher BG decrease, higher proportion of participants needing a dextrose infusion with infusion starting earlier in the exercise period, and consequently higher quantity of dextrose infused. Our results indicated that moderate-intensity exercise, executed for 60 min in the postprandial state, induced a significant BG decrease of about 5 mmol·L−1 and required a large quantity of dextrose in the majority of participants to prevent hypoglycemia. Therefore, patients with T1DM using glargine/glulisine who practiced moderate-intensity physical activity for a long period (60 min) without any nutritional supplement would rapidly face hypoglycemia during and after exercise.
Traditionally, the ADA proposes that approximately 10–15 g of CHO per hour of moderate physical activity would be sufficient for a 70-kg person (1). However, this recommendation has not been linked to any insulin regimen. We have already shown that 40 g of a liquid glucose supplement helped maintain safe BG levels during 60 min of moderate-intensity exercise and recovery in adult participants with T1DM using N-Lispro (4). In the present study, we tested the effect of a 30-g CHO snack taken before moderate-intensity exercise on hypoglycemia prevention in adult participants using glargine/glulisine. Indeed, compared with the placebo snack, ingestion of 30 g of CHO lessened the exercise-induced BG drop, limited markedly the proportion of participants requiring a dextrose infusion, and limited the quantity of dextrose infused as the duration of this infusion. These results suggest that this option prevents hypoglycemia with a mean BG value at the end of exercise of about 8 mmol·L−1. However, the downside of CHO supplementation is preexercise BG hyperglycemia with values approaching 12 mmol·L−1 and a greater exposure to prolonged hyperglycemia with higher area under the curve for glycemia ≥8 mmol·L−1 during and after the exercise. Moreover, this CHO quantity provides extra calories to individuals who are also on average in the overweight category for body mass index. Our results suggest that 30 g of CHO before exercise may have been an excessive quantity to compensate for exercise-induced BG decrease. We figure that a smaller CHO snack, as recommended by ADA, may have resulted in a smaller increase in BG.
Intermittent high-intensity exercise has been proposed to reduce the decline in glycemia during exercise in participants with T1DM because of a greater increment in endogenous glucose production during exercise and attenuated glucose use during exercise and early recovery (6). To our knowledge, such an exercise strategy has not been tested in a basal/bolus insulin regimen of glargine/glulisine. The 0G + MOD/INT condition resulted in a BG decreases intermediate to 0G + MOD and 30G + MOD (Fig. 1). This condition ensured a lower mean BG value at the end of the experiment compared with 30G + MOD, thus keeping the participant in a more optimal BG range. The 0G + INT condition produced similar delay in dextrose infusion, quantity of dextrose infused as well as proportion of participants requiring a dextrose infusion compared with the 30G + MOD. These results suggest that the 0G + INT could be an alternative to the 30G + MOD in terms of preventing hypoglycemia without the downside of preexercise excessive rise in BG. Although beneficial to prevent hypoglycemia, the 0G + INT condition designed with moderate intensity interspersed with several sprints was harder to perform compared with moderate-intensity exercise conditions with or without CHO snack as reflected by the Borg scale scores. Therefore, this condition appears to prevent both exercise-induced hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia before, during, and immediately after exercise but requires a certain level of fitness.
Our results suggest that 60-min exercise of moderate-intensity executed with a 30-g preexercise beverage or interspersed with bouts of intermittent high-intensity may be safe strategies to prevent hypoglycemia in participants using a basal/bolus regimen of glargine/glulisine. Depending on personal preference for preexercise snack or high-intensity sprints, participants with T1DM may practice safe moderate-intensity exercise and choose the option that best fits their lifestyle at a particular time. Further studies are required to better estimate the quantity of glucose supplement or of intense exercise required to prevent exercise-induced hypoglycemia in patients with T1DM.

Health Care Stocks Shift Sideways as Obamacare Registration Begins
On July 9 I wrote Obamacare Delay Is Good for Health Stocks and since then the seven stocks I profiled moved sideways to up with gains between 2.4% and 25.7%.
Registrations began Tuesday the health care exchanges which take effect in January 2014. Folks who are already covered under existing health plans should be able to keep their current plans, as long as the employers keep plans in place, which is no sure thing. Many companies have chosen to convert full time employees to part time by cutting hours worked to 29 hours. These employees must eventually register on the health care exchanges.
ValuEngine shows that the medical industry is 23.5% overvalued with the health maintenance industry 21.2% overvalued. I continue to give the medical sector an equal-weight asset allocation rating.
On July 8 there was only one buy rated stock among the seven health maintenance organizations I chose to profile for buy-and-trade investors. Today two other stocks among these seven have buy ratings. All are overvalued by 6.1% to 40.6% and have posted solid gains of 27.8% to 76.7% over the last 12 months. All are above their 200-day SMAs, which reflects the risk of reversion to the mean.
Reading the Table
OV/UN Valued: Stocks with a red number are undervalued by this percentage. Those with a black number are overvalued by that percentage according to ValuEngine.
VE Rating: A "1-engine" rating is a strong sell, a "2-engine" rating is a sell, a "3-engine" rating is a hold, a "4-engine" rating is a buy and a "5-engine" rating is a strong buy.
Last 12-Month Return (%): Stocks with a red number declined by that percentage over the last 12 months. Stocks with a black number increased by that percentage.

Big Island police are investigating the death of an infant as a coroner's inquest.
At 5:44 a.m. Monday, Kona patrol officers responded to a home on the 74-4000 block of Mamalahoa Highway in Holualoa to a report of an unresponsive baby girl.
When they arrived, the child's mother reported that she had found her 2-month-old baby in bed unresponsive.
The mother had called 911 and had been instructed to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation until Fire Department rescue personnel arrived. Fire Department personnel then continued resuscitation efforts and took the baby to Kona Community Hospital, where she was pronounced dead at 6:22 a.m.
Police do not suspect foul play. They have ordered an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.

2. "Roberson" or Robertson is a mysterious figure; he may be the Corporal John Robinson listed on the rolls of Amos Stoddard's artillery company, from which the expedition drew several men about this time. Later on he was disciplined and apparently demoted to private (see below, Detachment Orders, March 3 and April 1, 1804); he may be the man from Stoddard's company who was sent back down the Missouri on June 12, 1804. Joseph Whitehouse is always referred to as a private hereafter; perhaps he too was reduced in rank, or possibly Clark confused him with Corporal Richard Warfington, since both men were relatively new additions to the group at this time. The reference to York is the first mention in the journals of Clark's slave. See . Jackson (LLC), 1:373 n. 29. (Return to text.)

Addiction is a treatable condition. The first phase of treatment from is withdrawal from the problem substance/activity. There are both physical and psychological effects that occur when substance-taking stops, including such physical signs as nausea and vomiting, chills and sweats, muscle cramps and aches, sleeplessness, shifts in heart rate, even fever. Emotional effects include depression, anxiety, irritability, and mood swings. Withdrawal symptoms typically last three to five days. While they are rarely life-threatening, medical supervision is usually provided in residential treatment programs, and medications may be given to ameliorate the acute discomfort of withdrawal.
Behavioral therapy and counseling are important elements of treatment. Cognitive behavioral therapy is often used to help patients identify, avoid, and cope with situations in which they are most likely to abuse drugs or activities.
