American Leads Western Expansion of a Top Chinese Business School
In recent years, a growing number of American universities have opened offices, and even campuses, in China.
Gregory Marchi has just done the opposite. As the first U.S. representative of the Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business, he will lead the expansion of one of mainland China's leading business schools into the United States, developing its executive-education and M.B.A. programs and building partnerships with American universities.
"We're a school doing something that's not been done for the past 200 years—going from East to West," says Sun Baohong, Cheung Kong's associate dean of global programs, who helped recruit Mr. Marchi. "We're opposite the traffic."
Founded 11 years ago, Cheung Kong is a rarity in China: a private, independent educational institution, and the only business school with faculty governance. Its reputation has soared, and its alumni include some of China's most prominent business leaders, like Jack Ma, an e-commerce pioneer and founder and executive chairman of the Alibaba Group, and Fu Chengyu, chairman of the oil giant Sinopec.
After opening offices in Hong Kong and London, Cheung Kong has turned toward the United States. While it has no plans to establish a full-fledged branch campus in America, Mr. Marchi, who is based in New York, aims to build on the school's strength in educating mid- and upper-level executives. It wants to offer executive-M.B.A. programs, perhaps joining with top-ranking American universities to offer dual or joint degrees.
Cheung Kong will also put on specialized programs and events with a China focus. For instance, together with the Yale School of Management, it recently organized the China India Insights Conference, an annual forum on business in both countries and other emerging markets. Cheung Kong will also provide custom training to American or multinational companies on specific aspects of working in China.
Mr. Marchi, who is 55, sees Cheung Kong as complementing, not competing with, American graduate schools. The business school can tap its alumni base of more than 4,200 Chinese business leaders to participate in its programs, and it already has three Western-educated, Chinese-born faculty members, including Ms. Sun, in the United States.
What it offers, Mr. Marchi says, is a Chinese perspective on China. "Our core strength is doing business in China," he says. "That's an area where we can add value."
In that sense, Mr. Marchi himself may seem like a surprising choice for his new role. While he has consulted with companies working in China, he could hardly be called a China hand.
Indeed, his international experience at his most recent job was in another region of the world. At Duke Corporate Education, he helped start and run the London office, which was focused on Europe and Africa. The company, which provides executive and business education, was started by Duke University's Fuqua School of Business.
But Ms. Sun, who helped hire Mr. Marchi, says his lack of expertise in China is far outweighed by his work at one of the world's best-regarded corporate-education programs. Cheung Kong administrators had been searching for nearly three years for the right person to lead the American office. "He knows how to be entrepreneurial, innovative, fast-moving," she says. "That spirit is very aligned with CKGSB."
Mr. Marchi, who previously worked in marketing and at a start-up company, says he was attracted by the pathbreaking nature of Cheung Kong's work in the United States.
After a decade at Duke Corporate Education, he had risen to become managing director. At the same time, the company had matured from fledgling upstart to global leader. When a colleague mentioned the position at Cheung Kong, Mr. Marchi was excited by the challenges of building an office from scratch.
"I'm an entrepreneurial-type guy," he says. "I like the excitement."

I did, by transferring the complete '88-on braking system to Saabine ('85 900T). Expensive, but well worth it if only for the vastly more reliable brakes. No sticking front calipers anymore. But if you go this route, go the whole hog - fit late-style 9000 calipers ('88- Turbo, 90- all) and discs at the front. As you have to get new calipers and discs anyway, and the only modification needed is trimming the backplates on the front hubs in order to clear the calipers, this won't add much (if anything) to the bill and makes for far better braking from high speeds.
But unless you have a pristine example or do it all yourself using a later donor vehicle, it will cost you the same or more as the book value of your car...
Look here:
Good luck,

Not in a country where it rains 210 days a year - IIRC the first NG900s did not come with backing plates which were retrofitted after complaints of intially non-functioning brakes in heavy rain or just after going through water...

Thanks alot for the help,now I just gotta find the parts,which I really don`t look at as a big problem.
I might just need some of your help along the conversion,so I`ll probably keep in touch and letting you know how it goes.

Citation: Hickenbottom, S.J., Follett, J.R., Lin, Y., Dueker, S.R., Burri, B.J., Neidlinger, T.R., Clifford, A.J. 2002. VARIABILITY IN CONVERSION OF BETA-CAROTENE TO VITAMIN A IN MEN AS MEASURED BY USING A DOUBLE-TRACER STUDY DESIGN. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. 75 (5): 900, 2002. Interpretive Summary: Vitamin A is an essential nutrient, necessary for normal growth and eyesight. Beta-carotene, the pigment that makes carrots and sweet potatoes organge, from vitamin A in the human body. Americans get about 50% of their vitamin A from beta-carotene by this conversion process. Beta-carotene should form vitamin A easily and efficiently, but we have known for many years that it did not. What we did not know until now is just how bad the conversion ratio really was. We used advanced new technology to accurately measure the amounts of vitamin A formed beta-carotene. We found that the conversion ratio in healthy well-fed men was about 3 times less than previously believed. Furthermore, the converstion ratio varied from person to person, so that some men found much less vitamin A than others. Our results show that it is difficult to get enough vitamin A from eating beta-carotene rich vegetables.
Technical Abstract: Background: The vitamin A activity of beta-carotene is variable and surprisingly low in women. The reasons for htis are not well understood. The vitamin A activity of beta-carotene in men is still uncertain. Contributions of dietary factors compared with individuals traits are largely unknown. Objective: Our objective was to measure the intrinsic variability in the vitamin A activity of beta-carotene among healthy, well-fed men living in a controlled environment. Design: We used a double-tracer test-retest design. We dosed 11 healthy men orally with 30 umol hexadeuterated (D6) retinyl acetate (all trans-19,19,19,20,20,20-[2H6]retinyl acetate) and then with 30 umol D6 beta-carotene (19,19,19,19',19'-[2H6]beta-carotene) 1 wk later. Doses were taken with breakfasts containing 16 g fat. We measured D6 retinol, D6 beta-carotene, and trideuterated (D3) retinol (derived from D6 beta-carotene) concentrations in plasma. Areas under the plasma concentration x time since dosing curves (AUCs) were determined for D6 retinol, D6 beta-carotene, and D3 retinol. Conclusion: The vitamin A activity of beta-carotene, even when measured under controlled conditions, can be surprisingly low and variable.

Should we all be getting more vitamin D (aka the sunshine vitamin), or is it the latest nutrient not to live up to a swell of fanfare? The answer is being vigorously debated by health experts.
In recent years, as studies suggested the vitamin might ward off a host of ailments, including cancer and heart disease, the advice was to take supplements (the body can derive only so much vitamin D from everyday diet and sun exposure).
But a report late last year from the Institute of Medicine concluded that 600 IUs of vitamin D daily is sufficient for most adults and that supplements are largely unnecessary.
Walter Willett, chairman of the nutrition department at the Harvard School of Public Health, is among the high-profile scientists who disagree with the findings. The institute "only studied the effects of vitamin D on a very extreme form of bone health," Willett says.
"There's a substantial amount of evidence that vitamin D can have benefits for colon cancer, diabetes and infections," although research is ongoing. "It makes sense for most people to take a supplement while evidence is still being collected."
He says a better recommendation for adults is a daily supplement between 1,000 and 2,000 IUs. The amount anyone requires varies based on sun exposure, skin color (the darker your skin, the more you need), diet and weight.
There's no one-size-fits-all rule, so it's worth discussing with your doctor and determining what makes sense for you.
Bring back recess
Why should kids have all the fun? To invigorate employees, organizations around the country are offering afternoon exercise breaks. "After even a few minutes of physical activity, people are more energetic," says Dr. Toni Yancey of the UCLA School of Public Health. Plus, it stimulates clearer thinking, lifts mood and helps people strategically solve problems.
Garden fitness
As you dig and weed this season, your body needs as much attention as your plants. "Low back pain is the main complaint from gardeners," says Christa Bache, a personal trainer in New York City. To prevent pain and injury, try moves that strengthen the core, such as planks, which will help support the lumbar spine.
Raise your resolve
If you're tempted by potato chips, try clenching your muscles. In a recent study from the University of Chicago, health-conscious people who chose nutritious bites only 30 percent of the time selected something healthy 57 percent of the time when they clenched their hands. The act may have "helped them recruit willpower," says Aparna Labroo, a co-author of the study.
Eat your heart out
Artichokes, soon to be at their spring best, are "unbelievably low in calories," says registered dietitian Kristine Clark: about 65 apiece. And each one packs more fiber than a bowl of raisin bran. Try adding thin slices to tuna salad or whole-wheat pasta.
Stay present
People spend almost 50 percent of their waking hours thinking about something other than what they're doing, and a wandering mind is an unhappy one, a Harvard study finds. The lesson: Pay attention to the task at hand to increase your joy factor.
Clean the cupboards
Stay healthy by tossing bulging or badly dented cans and expired goods at least once a year. "Most canned foods can last two to five years, but acidic ones — like tomatoes and fruit — go bad after just 12 to 18 months," says Tara Gidus, a registered dietitian.
Take 10 or more
Even a little exercise can yield lasting benefits. New research at Massachusetts General Hospital shows that metabolic changes in the body (responsible for good stuff like burning fat and controlling blood sugar) induced by 10 minutes of exercise can last at least an hour. The fitter the subjects, the more pronounced these metabolic changes were.
Beauty recipes
Get your arms and legs ready for their warm-weather reveal: Start by using a gentle exfoliant in the shower. While skin is still damp, spritz on safflower oil, which can be found at grocery or health food stores. "It contains linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid that helps the skin retain moisture," says New York City dermatologist Amy Wechsler.

It'll just be more of the same tired old MSM "fair and balanced" reporting, presenting each side as if both POVs on an illegal war had equal validity and moral justification.
Even if enough Americans finally become sufficiently "enlightened" to turf out the Republicans, so what? The Democrats are the only realistic alternative and I see no hope for salvation in exchanging Tweedledum for Tweedledee.
Dwight David Eisenhower was right when he warned about the military-industrial complex taking over the nation. And so was Huey Long when he said: "Corrupted by wealth and power, your government is like a restaurant with only one dish. They've got a set of Republican waiters on one side and a set of Democratic waiters on the other side. But no matter which set of waiters brings you the dish, the legislative grub is all prepared in the same Wall Street kitchen."
Unfortunately, I see no prospect of American enlightenment sufficient to support a different restaurant any time in the near future, no matter how many such "thought provoking" chit chats CNN may air.
I think you sound only to happy to trash the military to support your point of view. I too worry about the military industrial complex, as Eisenhower did, but I have nothing but respect and gratitude for the many men and women who have served this country, even at risk of their lives. They are now being sorely misused, but I am glad they are always ready to defend us, and am thankful for their service.
I saw a great bumpersticker. It said:
"Support the Troops - Bring Them Home"
Not all military support the Repuglicans. But it doesn't matter, because their commander in thief has someone standing over them telling what they are to say, and you can bet it all isn't positive.
Even when you look at those officers sitting for Shrub's photo op, you can tell they are not comfortable. They were probably under 'orders' to be there in the first place, although I am also sure that there are some who probably wanted to be there. I am glad CNN is offering an alternative, and still keeping the Iraq debacle 'in the news.'
But in the case of the CNN show, I think it is a start in getting the word out. I only hope they interview some of us military families who oppose this assault on our Nation, in so many different ways. Iraq probably the worst, but many other things as well.
I didn't think my post was "trashing the military" at all except insofar as it mentioned the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned about.
On the other hand, I'll readily admit to not being one of the blind "Support the Troops" bumper sticker crowd. There are plenty of military actions that I definitely do not support. They include, inter alia, deceptive recruitment tactics, dehumanizing indoctrination techniques, illegal wars, napalming and cluster-bombing civilians, murdering and torturing prisoners, raping women, and sodomizing young boys.
If condemning those tactics equates in your mind to "trashing the military", I guess I'll have to plead guilty. I certainly have no intention of endorsing them in exchange for some "patriotism" award.

Enjoy a thoughtful evening read.
Enjoy a longer, more in-depth read.
The Cleveland kidnappings scenario portrayed in court documents is a familiar nightmare for parents, who should take the opportunity to teach their children about safety, experts say.
Cleveland law enforcement officials charged Ariel Castro with four counts of kidnapping and three counts of rape Wednesday and offered tiny glimpses into the captives' lives.
Three brothers arrested – Ariel, Pedro, and Onil Castro – are accused of kidnapping and holding Amanda Berry and two other women captive for 10 years. Cleveland neighbors and family members are beginning to talk about the suspects.
The news that three women – Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight – were held in a Cleveland home for about a decade shocked neighbors, who said they didn't notice anything.
The Cleveland police chief says he thinks Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight had been held captive at a home in the city for a decade. Their escape Monday began with yells for help at the front door.
The limo fire in the San Francisco Bay Area, which killed five women, doesn't fit the usual patterns of vehicle fires. Moreover, the limo fire comes as the number of vehicle fires is declining.
Fire officials expect a southern California wildfire to spread Friday, fueled by continuing Santa Ana winds. They are resuming overflights to drop flame retardant, but urge area residents to be prepared to evacuate.
The California measure, signed into law Wednesday, authorizes $24 million to hire additional agents for a state program that takes away firearms from people prohibited from owning them.
The so-called Summit Fire is one of at least 680 wildfires that state firefighters have responded to this year in California – 200 more than the average for the period. Conditions are dry, warm, and windy.
James Everett Dutschke, accused of mailing three letters containing ricin, was arrested Saturday at his home. He is being held without bond until a preliminary hearing Thursday.
Only 1 in 4 Millennials think the US is headed in the right direction, according to a poll released by the Harvard Institute of Politics, and 48 percent think their vote won't make a difference.
Boston bombing investigators reportedly have found female DNA evidence on one of the pressure cookers used in the attack, but there could be a number of explanations for that.
High black voter turnout, plus a lower turnout from white voters, gave President Obama the edge in swing states and a victory in 2012, signaling the importance of minority voters going forward.
The Senate voted Thursday to let the FAA repurpose money so it can halt furloughs of 15,000 air traffic controllers and end flight delays, tweaking rules of the 'sequester.' The House votes on the bill Friday.
Officials see an accident, not foul play, in the explosions and fires that engulfed two fuel barges Wednesday night at river's edge in Mobile, Ala. They are waiting for the wreckage to cool to look for the cause of ignition.
Ricin suspect Paul Kevin Curtis said, after his release: 'I thought they said rice.' Curtis's attorney says her client was framed. Federal investigators are looking into potential enemies.
Authorities acknowledge that they have found no traces of ricin or ricin-making materials in their search of the home and vehicle of Kevin Curtis, the Mississippi man charged with sending letters laced with the poison to President Obama and two other officials.
It was silent at 2:50 p.m., not just in Boston but in other cities, too, to honor those killed and wounded in the Boston Marathon bombings, but also to affirm the city's resilience.
In a gesture of support for Boston and respect for the marathon bombing victims, Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick ordered state residents to observe a moment of silence Monday at 2:50 p.m.
The Boy Scouts drafted the proposal on gay youths after sending surveys to about 1 million members. Many respondents, the organization said Friday, felt that youths should not be denied the benefits of Scouting.

Tivoli | iSongBook Portable Audio System for iPod | ISBBS | B&H
My daughter purchased this for me this past Christmas and I love it! I wanted a radio plus iPod music system combo and had seen Tivoli online. I was surprised that it's not as large as my iPod Hi-Fi I received two years ago. My Tivoli SongBook is on my dining table and I can control my iPod music with the remote. I have a BBQ coming up and plan to take it with me. I love this Audio System and that it also has FM/AM radio! Great sound and detachable speaker plus the iPod deck can be closed when not in use.

MANCHESTER, N.H. – Trailing one heading into the top of the seventh in Game 1, the Merrimack College softball team rallied with two runs to storm back for a come-from-behind victory, as the Warriors settled for a Saturday afternoon doubleheader split at first-place Saint Anselm in Manchester, N.H.

How It Happened
Game 1 – Merrimack 3, Saint Anselm 2
Thanks to a late-game rally in the top of the seventh, Merrimack erased a 2-1 deficit and turned it into a 3-2 advantage that proved to be the final margin of victory, as the Warriors stormed back for a dramatic win in Saturday's opening tilt.
Down by a run, senior Kelsey Francher (Weare, N.H.) started things off with a leadoff single before classmate Keaira Monet Perry (Bellingham, Mass.) reached on an error that pushed two runners into scoring position. That set the stage for senior Allison Berthiaume (Berkley, Mass.), who promptly drove one up through the box to score Francher before Monet Perry came in on a subsequent fielder's choice to push the Warriors up by a run.
On the hook heading into the seventh, sophomore starter Alexis Perry (Westford, Vt.) locked down her eighth win of the year by working around one last hit in the bottom of the seventh, as the right-hander finished with only two runs allowed one two hits with two strikeouts and a walk.
Sophomore Brittany Razo (Anaheim, Calif.) drove in the other Warrior run back in the top of the sixth, drilling a double into the gap in right center to score senior Jessica Fugazzotto (Newton, Mass.), who finished with a team-high five hits over both games.
Game 2 –Saint Anselm 4, Merrimack 3
After Merrimack took an early two-run lead, Saint Anselm tied it with two in the fourth and took the lead for good with two more in the fifth, as the Warriors' attempt at another late rally fell short in a 4-3 setback in Saturday's late game.
With no run on the board, Francher scored Merrimack's first run of the game on a throwing error in the top of the second before Fugazzotto drove in redshirt sophomore Becca Armstrong (Methuen, Mass.) on a single to left, as the Warriors opened up a 2-0 lead after two frames.
Following a scoreless third, Saint A's would then claw back after benefitting from a Merrimack error as part of a two-run fourth before tying the game on a wild pitch during the fifth. A run-scoring groundout would then push the Hawks ahead for good, as the hosts took a 4-2 lead after five innings.
For the second straight game, Merrimack would not go quietly, as Monet Perry drew a one-out walk before Armstrong smacked a double into center to score the Former and put the tying run in scoring position. Saint A's starter Paige Cormier would get out of the jam with a groundout to end the game, forcing the Warriors to settle for a Saturday twin bill split.
Inside The Numbers
- Starting both games Saturday, Perry wound up with a sparking 1.91 ERA over 11 innings of action, yielding only three earned runs over that span with four strikeouts and one walk on seven hits
- Fugazzotto led all Warriors with a 5-for-8 showing at the plate over both games, batting .625 on the afternoon with a run and an RBI
- Merrimack finished with three doubles, one each from Armstrong, Francher and Razo
- The Warriors batted .246 (15-for-61) as a team over both games while limiting Saint Anselm to just a .208 clip
- Merrimack stranded 17 runners over both games, including 11 in Game 2
Up Next
With just one week remaining in the regular season, Merrimack returns home to host Stonehill in a makeup doubleheader on Monday (April 21), with first pitch of Game 1 set for 3:30 p.m.

I would think you taking the Smart path there by not carrying i usually dont if im taking something when im sick
This is a discussion on Medication and CCW within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I'm sure some have thought of this too. As of right now I am taking medication for a cold. As a precaution for legal reprecussions ...
I'm sure some have thought of this too. As of right now I am taking medication for a cold. As a precaution for legal reprecussions I am mnot carrying . The med. label says ' do not operate heavy machinery,ect,ect.' Just thought I wlould mention it as my state requires 0.0 BAC, as well as no influence of drugs.
I would think you taking the Smart path there by not carrying i usually dont if im taking something when im sick
Good plan, I never considered whether it would be legal to carry after taking some of the over the counter cold medications. I might should so a little research.
Coimhéad fearg fhear na foighde; Beware the anger of a patient man.
I dont want to go into details but after numerous back and knee surgeries since I retired from the police department in 1990 I have been in constant pain since then. If I only carried when I wasnt taking medication I would never carry. There was a time shortly after I retired when I would not allow myself to drive because I did not feel safe. I worked with my doctor and am taking medication that I feel safe and comfortable with. Some of us with health problems that will never go away have to make that decision. I go to the range and am able to shoot well while taking my medication. If I had problems keeping all my holes in the black I would have to reconsider carrying.
How many would give up carrying if they were forced to take some kind of meds for the rest of their life?
Your Right silvercorvette Takeing some kind of meds for the rest of your live would and does alter things ,, im Diabetic so i take pills to controll blood suger and they do afect me someone ... Mostly the shakes if blood suger goes to low or high ..
But its what ya got to live with... If i had to take some kind of painkillers the rest of my life i would have to find the one i was comfortable with and then see how i shot
From time to time(once or twice a week), I have to take Vicoden for pain in my hand. Therapy really makes it swell up. During those times I don't carry. Vicoden makes me sleepy, so I know I'm not at my best. Since my pain is not constant, I have little tolerance to the medication. However, I know several people who take it daily and function perfectly normal.
Caution is our best bet. If you have the slightest doubts, don't carry.
Bud and silver, sounds like you are doing it the right way.
People sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to violence on their behalf.
Working with your doctor to find a satisfactory treatment that would address medical issues while preserving the ability to safely handle firearms would seem to be a good solution.Originally Posted by silvercorvette
Pilots have to meet certain physical standards, but deviations can be approved under what is known as a Statement of Demonstrated Ability (SDA). Example: a person suffers damage to an eye which prevents it from aligning properly with the other eye, resulting in double vision. A simple solution to the double vision would be to wear a patch over one eye, but that might lead to problems with depth perception, cuts down peripheral vision, etc. However, if the person in question can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Federal Aviation Administration that he competently operate an aircraft while wearing a patch, the FAA can issue an SDA which allows the pilot to obtain the necessary medical certificate.
I'd like to see some physicians and attorneys opinions on this issue. At the very least, I think it would be prudent to have a qualified firearms instructor witness you shooting while taking whatever medicine is needed, then have that person sign a statement to the effect that you were observed shooting while medicated and your performance met the some standard, such as the CCW qualification or a state/local law enforcement qualification.
The American male is tough old bird refusing to see a doctor unless death is near. At that point he is placed on some type of medication for which there is no alternative, take it or suffer bad results. Usually the medication comes with all types of warnings that various affects may be felt all bad for working around moving equipment, driving etc. But we have to take it or else. I would guess that most people over fifty will be faced with taking something for blood pressure to keep life in control. I suspose the warnings are on the label for good cause but not everyone feels their effect so carrying may be OK!
When I could carry it was more how did I feel that day. If I don't feel good I don't even drive regardless of medication and would not carry, I believe with most of us its good common sense as to drive or carry depending how we feel. Just my .02 worth.

A few years ago when I was trying to find the right medication I got in the car to drive to a dentist appointment. When I got in the car I didnt feel RIGHT. I turned the car around a few hundred feet from my house and went back home. I called up the dentist and canceled the appointment. When I was younger I was confident I could handle almost any situation with my bare hands. Now that I am older slower and more likely to be targeted as a victim I feel a greater need to carry. Its kind of funny that when we get to a point in our lives where the need to carry is greater that it has ever been, the drugs we take may have a negative effect on the legal battle that follows.Originally Posted by FortyFive
You took the words right out of my mouth! I too feel the need to carry simply so my wife or I don't get beat to death by some tough guy that wants what I have. But this state makes it very difficult for us to carry.Originally Posted by silvercorvette

Like Bud White, I, too, am diabetic and use various medications necessary to help me sustain life. With proper control (most of the time)and constant monitoring of my blood sugar, I feel confident that I am 100% safe in both shooting at the range and carrying a firearm. Anyone that is diabetic and has experienced a hypoglycemic reaction knows it isn't difficult to tell when you're about ready to "do the chicken"...But, just in case it may happen (a low blood sugar reaction), I always carry fast acting glucose tablets in my range bag, in my truck, my desk at work, anywhere I am with regularity-just like a good Boy Scout, I do my best to always "Be Prepared".

I rarely take meds, aside from a BC powder for a sore back or massive headache. I prefer to let my immune do its thing when I have a cold or something. I do think I have shot myself in the foot so to speak, now when I take any medication whatsoever, I have no idea what its gonna do. A few months ago I had a bad cold and Mom reccomended Aleeve cold medicine, while my cold didnt bother me much after taking it, I had to leave work because my balance was so messed up, pretty much felt like I had a weed contact buzz and couldnt stay focused on the paperwork I was doing.
But OTOH if I was taking something on a regular basis I would probably continue carry after my tolerance was built up, sooner if it didnt have any weird side-effects.
Wellll....just to be really safe (that is, armed in public), I'd recommend taking your cold medicine only when your retired for the day and plan on some good shuteye. During the day, just stuff a cotton ball up each nostril. This will have the dual effect of preventing snot from running down over your lip, and will make your disposition considerably onery. Nobody would dare screw with you!
I too have the big D. No meds just diet and exercise controlled right now. Like you said I can feel the low coming. Once I drop below a BG of 90 or so I can feel it and get a snack or something. Can't go anywhere without some sort of food. Nuts or chips work really well for me. As for other meds it depends. I know how most stuff affects me so I won't carry if I'm taking something that impairs me. Of course I don't leave the house then either, so it's not a problem.Originally Posted by Gringo

Umbilical hernia repair is surgery to repair an umbilical hernia. An umbilical hernia is a sac (pouch) formed from the inner lining of your belly (abdominal cavity) that pushes through a hole in the abdominal wall at the belly button.
You will probably receive general anesthesia (asleep and pain-free) for this surgery. If your hernia is small, you may receive spinal, epidural block, or local anesthesia and medicine to relax you. You will be awake but pain-free.
Your surgeon will make a surgical cut under your belly button.
Umbilical hernia can also be repaired using a laparoscope. This is a thin, lighted tube that lets the doctor see inside your belly. The scope will be inserted through one of the cuts. The instruments will be inserted through the other cuts.
If your child is having this surgery, the surgeon will discuss the type of anesthesia your child will receive. The surgeon will also describe how the surgery will be done.
Umbilical hernias are fairly common in children. A hernia at birth pushes the belly button out. It shows more when a baby cries because the pressure from crying makes the hernia bulge out more.
In infants, the problem is not usually treated with surgery. Most of the time, the umbilical hernia shrinks and closes on its own by the time a child is 3 or 4 years old.
Umbilical hernia repair may be needed in children for these reasons:
Umbilical hernias are also fairly common in adults. They are seen more in overweight people and in women, especially after pregnancy. They tend to get bigger over time.
Smaller hernias with no symptoms sometimes can be watched. Surgery may pose greater risks for patients with serious medical problems.
Without surgery, there is a risk that some fat or part of the intestine will get stuck (incarcerated) in the hernia and become impossible to push back in. This is usually painful. If the blood supply to this area is cut off (strangulation), urgent surgery is needed. You may experience nausea or vomiting, and the bulging area may turn blue or a darker color.
To avoid this problem, surgeons often recommend repairing the umbilical hernia in adults. Surgery is also used for hernias that are getting larger or are painful. Surgery secures the weakened abdominal wall tissue (fascia) and closes any holes.
Get medical care right away if you have a hernia that does not get smaller when you are lying down or that you cannot push back in.
The risks of surgery for umbilical hernia are usually very low, unless the person also has other serious medical problems.
Risks of anesthesia and surgery in general are:
Risks of umbilical hernia surgery include any of the following:
Your surgeon or anesthesia doctor (anesthesiologist) will see you and give you instructions for you or your child.
The anesthesiologist will discuss your (or your child's) medical history to determine the right amount and type of anesthesia to use. You or your child may be asked to stop eating and drinking 6 hours before surgery. Make sure you tell your health care provider about any medicines, allergies, or history of bleeding problems.
Several days before surgery, you may be asked to stop taking:
Most umbilical hernia repairs are done on an outpatient basis. This means you will likely go home on the same day. Some repairs may require a short hospital stay if the hernia is very large.
After surgery, your provider will monitor your vital signs (pulse, blood pressure, and breathing). You will stay in the recovery area until you are stable. Your doctor will prescribe pain medicine if you need it.
Your provider will show you how to care for your or your child's incision at home. You or your child should be able to do all of your normal activities in 2 to 4 weeks. Younger children can likely return to most activities right away.
There is always a chance that the hernia can come back. For healthy people, the risk of it coming back is very low.

It takes a one in 9" twist to stablize the 240 grain Sierra Match King.
The 220 grain round nose is not a very long bullet and you should be able to stabilize it using a one in ten inch twist.
The rate of twist required depends on the length of the bullet.

Hi Folks,
Just picked-up my '14 fastest-color-blue hatchback a couple of weeks or so ago. I had previously owned an '04 WRX wagon. Just like getting back in my old car, with a spec more power.
I hope to travel the Blue Highways of Virginia. As soon as the snow clears will head to the western part of the state. For now, will be staying close to home and taking day trips. Next week, weather allowing, will most likely go to the Eastern Shore.
Have spent a lot of time in the mountains outside of Charlottesville and look forward to another drive on 33 through the mountains. Will eventually most likely add a few videos of the "mountain roads."
If you have any interest, you can signup to receive an email as I add to my site.
On the Road Again? Or, Just Another Failed and Go-Nowhere Adventure? I will soon find out.
Any comments and suggestions will be well-received.
edit: BTW folks, the photos are just regular vacation-type photos......
