Stevenson Motorsports Takes Camaro Z/28.R To Maiden Victory at Sebring

Stevenson Motorsports Takes Camaro Z/28.R To Maiden Victory at Sebring
Stevenson Motorsports once again brought new pride to the Bow Tie as the team scored a breakthrough victory with the No. 6 Stevenson Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro Z28.R at Sebring International Raceway with drivers Robin Liddell and Andrew Davis on Friday. The race marked round two of the 2014 IMSA Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge championship, and was the first win for the all-new Z/28.R in just its second race.
The sister No. 9 Stevenson Motorsports Camaro Z28.R of Andy Lally and Matt Bell finished the race eighth after also showing significant pace on the day. From their starting positions of fourth and fifth, both the No. 6 and No. 9 Stevenson Motorsports Camaro Z/28.R cars were in hot contention for the podium. In fact, at one point during the race, the two cars were running nose to tail in a heated battle for position.
But past the midway point, Robin Liddell in the No. 6 Camaro swept around the outside of the leaders on a restart from a full course caution and into the lead. Unfortunately, the fortune turned for the worse for the sister machine as that same restart saw Andy Lally caught up in a tussle between two other drivers as they approached turn one, had some slight contact resulting in a spin which dropped him back to eighth.
A full course caution for a significant accident involving a Mazda Miata meant the final 20-plus minutes of the race were run under yellow as the safety team tried unsuccessfully to clean up the debris and return the field to green flag racing.
Team owner Mike Johnson was elated. "You win 'em, you lose 'em. The drivers were fighting really hard, doing what needed to be done in terms of saving their tires for the end and keeping the temperatures under control. We had a some concerns but it worked out. All four guys did a great job. We're just really happy for the team, General Motors, Pratt & Miller, Stevenson Automotive Group; that whole group combined and just worked so many long nights to get to this point. I know the car looks good and it goes fast and maybe people on the outside think that's easy but it's really, really hard. The credit really goes out to the crew that has made that happen."
Though Stevenson Motorsports entered the year on the strength of two consecutive runner-up finishes in the championship and multiple wins with the Camaro, the victory marks the maiden win in the Z/28.R and made the day a sweet one for all involved.
"This is quite a big deal for us as a team,â said Lidell, who established a new track record ruing the race. âThis is my seventh season with Stevenson and I've been involved with the development of this Z/28.R right from the get go when it rolled out of the shop up in Michigan. Though we had some teething troubles at Daytona, here we thought we had a reasonable chance. It's a big deal in the company (General Motors) and it has been a big effort for the team. I don't think people realize how much effort has gone into this car already. I'm very happy to have taken the first win for this car, for the team, for the new program, for GM, for Chevrolet, it's quite exciting for us."
After focusing the efforts in 2014 to the Continental Tire Challenge, the team hasnât missed a step as having a deep roster of talent through the organization shows itself in the strong performance.
âWe've got a tremendous crew and team with lots of years of experience together,â said team owner John Stevenson. âWith a brand-new car it's taken us a little while to get it pulled together but, they are very difficult to beat. Mike (Johnson) does an awesome job on the box and obviously, it's nice to have Andrew (Davis) back because Robin (Liddell) and Andrew make a hell of a good team.â
Davis had to keep his celebrations short as he prepared to qualify for the Sebring 12 Hour race, but was no less pleased to savor the moment, no matter how brief.
âCelebrating on the podium is my favorite thing to do!â said Davis. âI can't say enough about Stevenson Motorsports and the opportunity to return with them. As you guys know, I ran three seasons with them and my teammate Robin Liddell in the GT Rolex Series and now with the new GS program running the Camaro Z/28.R they asked me back. I'm just absolutely thrilled with a victory in our second race together. It means a lot for me personally to share the podium with Robin; we're great buddies and he just does a tremendous job.â
The team will be back in action at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca May 2-4 for the Continental Tire Sports Car Festival.

Forward March: Groundswell of Support for Medical Marijuana for People Suffering from PTSD
Medical marijuana for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is being recognized by increasing numbers of states and is even winning support at the federal level for clinical study.
In just the last six months Oregon, Maine, Michigan and Nevada have announced approval to include PTSD as a qualifying medical condition in their state medical marijuana programs. Earlier this month the US Department of Health and Human Services, Public Health Service Secretary gave federal approval for a study of medical marijuana with veterans suffering from PTSD. And, last but not least, this month a clinical study demonstrating improvement in the health of people with PTSD after using medical marijuana has been published in the respected Journal of Psychoactive Drugs.
However in Arizona, there has been pushback. Recently, Arizona State Senator, Kimberly Yee blocked the federally-approved study, despite its approval by the Arizona House of Representatives. And of course, the DEA is notorious for undermining efforts to simply study the medical benefits of marijuana by ignoring decades of scientific studies, blocking research, and issuing outright lies about marijuana. (You can take action and tell the DEA to get out of the way by clicking here.)
In 2009, New Mexico became the first state to specifically list PTSD as a qualifying medical condition for medical marijuana and Connecticut and Delaware followed. Today, veterans and others from post-traumatic stress suffering injured by trauma have access to this medicine in ten states. And DPA played a role in several of these victories by supporting the efforts of advocates on the ground with an evidentiary packet summarizing the findings of more than a dozen peer-reviewed published studies and including personal testimony from veterans and psychiatrists who have found medical marijuana beneficial for themselves and their patients suffering from PTSD.
New Mexico psychiatrist, Dr. George Greer, took an interest in studying the effects of medical marijuana on patients with PTSD after New Mexico approved the condition in 2009 and admits that he was skeptical that it would be helpful, but patients were asking for this medicine so he undertook the investigation. Among the 80 New Mexicans surveyed "a [g]reater than 75% reduction in CAPS symptom scores were reported when patients were using cannabis compared to when they were not."
This is great, but we have to do more and do more now to help veterans and others suffering from PTSD. Consider this, in just the time researchers waited for the Department of Health and Human Services to issue approval more than twenty-four thousand veterans took their lives. And twenty-two more took their lives today.

Having enjoyed his biggest hit to date, "What Happened", via Compost's occasional disco offshoot, John Gazoo returns to Michael Reinboth's label with another restless groover. Like "What Happened" before it, "Midnight Runner" employs some fantastic builds. The Vintage Version is particularly good, slowly building into a disco-house crescendo via rubbery electric bass, spoken vocals and razor-sharp strings. The Second Version offers a touchy-feely, deep house revision, whilst the Cleaned Version puts more emphasis on the deep house groove and killer disco vocal. An excellent EP is rounded off by bonus cut "Next One In The Dark", a boogie-licious deep house excursion that grinds and struts in all the right places.

BirdNote: Mark Twain and Tropic Birds
| Download MP3
When Mark Twain visited Hawaii in 1866, he was able to inspect a live volcano, Halema'uma'u, which he described as "a crimson cauldron."
Twain concluded his impressions of the hellish scene by writing, "The smell of sulfur is strong, but not unpleasant to a sinner."
That eruption came to an end in 1924, and life awakened in the crater in a different form.
White-tailed Tropic Birds began to nest there, on ledges along the crater's 300-foot cliffs. Then in March 2008, the crater's volcanic spark rekindled.

Bit of factoid trivia is Kings Canyon is the deepest canyon in North America. (and you thought it was the Grand Canyon), measured from the surrounding mountain tops, it's said to be 8200 feet deep carved out by glaciers in the last ice age. Nearby surrounding peaks are over 14,000 feet.

Relationship to OCDEdit
Kleptomania is frequently thought of as being a part of obsessive-compulsive disorder, since the irresistible and uncontrollable actions are similar to the frequently excessive, unnecessary and unwanted rituals of OCD. Some individuals with kleptomania demonstrate hoarding symptoms that resemble those with OCD.[1]
Prevalence rates between the two disorders do not demonstrate a strong relationship. Studies examining the comorbidity of OCD in subjects with kleptomania have inconsistent results, with some showing a relatively high co-occurrence (45%-60%)[2][3] while others demonstrate low rates (0%-6.5%).[4][5] Similarly, when rates of kleptomania have been examined in subjects with OCD, a relatively low co-occurrence was found (2.2%-5.9%).[6][7]

text: Here is a long term project I have been working on for a few weeks, a 1969 Camaro Z28 rally sport, my all time favorite car. The plan with this one is to make it fairly detailed with individual body panels, an engine with opening hood, an interior, finished trunk with opening trunk lid, and a frame structure. I will light it all up when finished with led's, I have been designing with that in mind so there will be light boxes to put the led's in to seal them up with no bleeding to other areas for the headlights, taillights, interior dome, dash, etc. All will be powered by 2 9volt batteries which will be stored in the trunk behind two removable side panels. I have a fairly good start on the main bits so far, It should be fairly detailed while not be insanely difficult to build. Probably be in 1/12th scale, possibly 1/24th if it's not too difficult too build.

At the end of this month we'll be releasing our 2013 outlook piece -- The Bespoke Report -- which will have a section on commodities as usual. Below is a chart highlighting the year-to-date performance of ten widely followed commodities.
As shown, three of the ten commodities in the chart are down in 2012, while seven are up. Corn has posted the biggest gain in 2012 at 17.33%, which isn't that much for the top performer relative to some of the huge gains for commodities that we've seen in recent years. Natural gas and platinum are the only other commodities that are up more than 10%. On the downside, coffee has declined the most at -34.76%, followed by orange juice at -21.42% and oil at -7.97%. If oil's decline holds, it will be the commodity's first yearly decline since 2008 and just the second over the last ten years.
Below are our trading range charts for the two most widely followed commodities -- oil and gold. As shown, oil has actually moved to the top of its trading range (green shading) over the last few weeks, and it's also right at the top of its long-term downtrend channel. A break out of this downward sloping channel would be a bullish technical signal. Gold, on the other hand, is at the bottom of its trading range. While it may be due for a short-term bounce off of oversold levels, gold's technicals aren't looking so great here.

G. Dep Should Not Have Confessed, Victim's Kin Says
For the first time since G. Dep shockingly confessed to shooting a man 17 years ago, a member of the victim's family has finally spoken out, and he has some choice words for the ex-Diddy protégé.
"I think [G. Dep is] an idiot." Robert Henkel, stepbrother to murder victim John Henkel, told the New York Post.
"[John] has three kids and a wife," Henkel continued. "It was years and years and years ago. Finally, we're not always thinking about it . . . and now it has to be dug up all again."
As previously reported, Dep surprisingly walked into the 25th precinct in New York City on December 15 and admitted to police that he shot Henkel three times during a botched robbery attempt on October 19, 1993. Although he claims that he did not know the man died after the incident, the former Bad Boy rapper was still indicted on murder charges last week by a grand jury. He faces 25 years to life.
"[Dep's] mother told him, 'Don't turn yourself in,' " Henkel said. "She was right . . . After all this time, yes, he just should have shut up."
G. Dep is currently being held, without bail, in the Manhattan Detention Complex. —Elan Mancini

Denson led all scorers with 17 points as the Tigers won back-to-back games for the first time this season to improve their record to 4-5. Furman fell to 3-6.
The junior guard hit 7-10 field goals and 3-4 free throws. He did not attempt a three-pointer, but his teammates hit 8-17 vs. the Paladins.
Denson missed the first seven games, but now that he is academically eligible he has started the last two outings. "When Coach Barbee put me back in the starting lineup that was an automatic boost to my confidence," he said. "I knew what I had to do when I came back."
Furman, which relies heavily on the three-point shot, made just 5-22 treys, a statistic that Coach Tony Barbee said was a key to his team's victory.
"I thought we guarded the three-point line, which was our main focus with this team," Barbee said. "The last game they had 15 made threes. Today they had five. They are a team that can really, really shoot the ball."
Barbee was not as pleased with his team's performance in the second half. The Tigers were outscored 30-29 in the final 20 minutes. "I thought we got content with the 15-point lead at halftime and that is how we came out and played.
"Like I told the guys, it is not about who we played, it is about us getting better," Barbee said. "Obviously, we want to win against whoever we play, but obviously this level is not going to be good enough for some of the teams we have got coming up fairly soon. I think they understand it. That is where we have to grow and matures as a team."
The three-point assault was led by freshman Jordan Price, who was 4-4 on treys for a second straight game.
Senior guard Frankie Sullivan contributed 11 points, seven assists and five rebounds for the Tigers.
The Tigers out-rebounded the Paladins 42-29 led by centers Asauhn Dixon-Tatum with nine rebounds and Rob Chubb with eight. However, Barbee said neither player was tough enough to get the job done offensively. Chubb made just 2-8 field goals. Dixon-Tatum hit 3-10.
The coach praised the toughness he saw out of Denson, who has improved in all areas of his game, especially on defense. "I say that comes from what I have learned over time since my freshman year," Denson said. "My freshman year I was terrible defensively, but I watched a lot of film. Coach Barbee said in order to play a lot of minutes on this team you have to do good defensively."
Barbee noted that a current project is to get Price to improve defensively, which the coach said is the freshman guard's major weakness. Price noted that he has heard those comments before from the head coach and added he is trying to get better with that part of the game.
"Defense equals more minutes," he said. "I know I need to get better on the defensive end so I will be able to help my team out on the offensive end."
Chris Denson drives to the hoop for the Tigers.
Furman jumped out to a quick 7-2 lead before the Tigers took the lead at the 15:48 mark on a runner in the lane by Denson to put the home team up 8-7. Auburn never trailed after that.
Auburn's first double-digits lead came at 29-17 at the 3:09 when Shaquille Johnson banked in a long-range jumper for three points.
The Tigers allowed Paladins, who rely on their three-pointers, to make just one in the first half allowing the Tigers to take a 35-20 lead into the break.
The Tigers shot 48 percent from the field in the second half, but were outscored 30-29 after intermission.
Furman coach Chuck Jackson said, "I thought we really battled. We just missed some shots in the first half against a team of that quality and we got behind the eight ball because we didn't shoot the ball well from the three in the first half."
Furman was led by Colin Reddick, who scored 14 points, and Kendrec Ferrara who added 10 points and seven rebounds.
Barbee used 10 payers. Other than the trio in double figures the top score was Dixon-Tatum with six points followed by Allen Payne with five.
Shaquille Johnson, who won praise from Barbee for his defense, added four points as did Chubb while Noel Johnson finished with three points.
Halftime Stats: Auburn 13-33 field goals for 39.4 percent to Furman's 6-29 for 20.7 percent. Auburn hit 5-11 first-half threes while Furman made just 1-11. the Paladins got into the one-and-one with more than 11 minutes left in the period and made 7-9 free throws.
The Tigers helped build their 15-point lead at the break with a 28-17 rebounding advantage that more than overcame seven turnovers vs. four for the Paladins.
Points In the Paint: Auburn led that statistic 32-18.
Fastbreak Points: Auburn won that statistic 8-0.
Up Next: The Tigers will return to action Tuesday night at 7 p.m. at the Auburn Arena (assuming the world doesn't end on Monday like the Mayans predicted).

In the Cheap Seats
By BOBBY "BUTCH" BURNEY | News-Telegram Sports Editor
Mar. 16, 2007 - You have to hand it to the Texas Rangers. When it comes to using steroids, they are at the top of the heap.
In the long list of players who we know have used steroids, and others we strongly suspect, an alarming number have played for the Rangers. Jose Canseco, Rafael Palmeiro, Pudge Rodriguez, Ken Caminiti, Sammy Sosa, Juan Gonzalez, Gary Matthews Jr., and that's not all.
You would think that with all the extra help, the Rangers would be better than they have been in the won-loss department. Seems like they can't even get the steroids thing right.
Actually, if Major League Baseball is truly concerned about steroids, then the league should start holding teams accountable. Lay a $1 million fine on a team for for every positive steroid test, and suddenly some of those Steroidians would find themselves unemployable.
Speaking of the Rangers, anybody that thought Sammy Sosa wouldn't make this team doesn't know how owner Tom Hicks operates. Hicks wants Sosa to be in a Rangers uniform when he hits his 600th home run so the team will draw more fans and get more media coverage.
Hicks doesn't care about winning - it's about how much money he can bleed from the franchise.
Sosa has done well in spring training, but he would be on the major league roster if he were batting .100.
If you think the Mavericks are on a level playing field with other teams when it comes to NBA officiating, you haven't been paying attention this week.
Lakers coach Phil Jackson said the league is engaging in a "witch hunt" against poor Kobe - a strong indictment that should have brought a heavy fine. Instead, the NBA's goon, vice president Stu(pid) Jackson, fines the Lakers coach only $50,000. - remember, Phil Jackson makes $10 million a year. If Mark Cuban would have said the same thing, the fine would have been at least 10 times that amount.
Sure, Cuban has a history with the league, but so does Phil Jackson, who spouts off like that at least once a season.
On the court, Dirk Nowitzki continues to be the most dis-respected superstar in the game. If he were to get the same foul calls as say, Dwayne Wade, the Mavericks would go undefeated.
Nowitzki will take the ball to the rack, but too many times he gets a hard foul but no call.
And how about the no-call on the foul on Devin Harris Wednesday night? Harris got clobbered in the head by the Suns' James Jones with such force that he suffered whiplash, but didn't even get a whistle blown.
Mavs coach Avery Johnson won't let his players complain about the officiating, but they don't have to. Everybody can see it.

Howard Hodgkin: The Thinking Painter of Embodied Memories
Written by Asmund Thorkildsen
About This Book
Sir Gordon Howard Eliot Hodgkin (born 1932) is a British painter and printmaker. His first solo show was in London in 1962. In 1984, he represented Britain at the Venice Biennale, in 1985, he won the Turner Prize, and in 1992, he was knighted. His early paintings tend to be made up of hard-edged curved forms in a limited number of colors. Around the beginning of the 1970s, his style became more spontaneous, with vaguely recognizable shapes presented in bright colors and bold forms. This volume shows Howard Hodgkin as a painter of emotional situations and experienced landscapes.
About the Author
Åsmund Thorkildsen is a Norwegian art historian specializing in modern and contemporary art. He is director of Drammens Museum, a professor of art theory at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts, and a professor of art history at Buskerud University College, Campus Drammen. The author met Howard Hodgkin for the first time in 1987.

Lea Michele Shares Pics From Her First Music Video
Lea Michele has filmed so many musical segments on her TV show, it may come as a surprise that she only just now filmed her first-ever music video!
Lea Michele has filmed so many musical segments on her TV show, it may come as a surprise that she only just now filmed her first-ever music video!
In a plot line straight out of 'Community,' 'Glee' will have an upcoming puppet episode, complete with fabricated doppelgangers of the cast -- with puppets that Lea Michele has been showing off via social media.
Lea Michele covers the December issue of ELLE and in the feature, the singer and actress revealed key details about how she coped and where she camped out in the immediate days after her boyfriend and 'Glee' co-star Cory Monteith died of a drug overdose.
If there is one thing that can heal the sting of a broken heart, it's a new pet!
Lea Michele is still reeling from the death of her boyfriend and co-star Cory Monteith last July.
Lea Michele has been largely silent since the death of her boyfriend and co-star Cory Monteith, who played her character Rachel Berry's love interest, Finn Hudson, on 'Glee.' Until now. In a heartbreaking confession, Michele revealed that she lost two people when Monteith died.
Lea Michele filmed an emotional scene for new season of 'Glee' in NYC's Central Park.
'Glee' won the 2013 Teen Choice Award for Choice TV Show Comedy, with their star Lea Michele nabbing a surfboard of her own for Choice TV Star Comedy. The cast took their opportunity in the spotlight to dedicate their awards to the late Cory Monteith, as well as to their supporters following his death.
It was back to work for 'Glee' star Lea Michele, even though the death of her boyfriend and co-star Cory Monteith is still an incredibly fresh wound.
Lea Michele showed another sign of returning to some sort of normalcy after retreating from the public eye to grieve and mourn the loss of her boyfriend and co-star Cory Monteith. (She needed alone time and we don't blame her.)
A few days after tweeting a photo of her late BF and saying he will live in her heart forever, she was spotted in L.A., wearing a necklace with his name on it.
Save for some (understandably) canned statements from her publicist, Lea Michele has been largely quiet since the death of her beloved boyfriend and her 'Glee' co-star Cory Monteith.
Lea Michele can't catch a break. She reportedly lost her mind after learning of the sudden and tragic death of her boyfriend, fellow 'Glee' star Cory Monteith — and now she's suffering from terrible anxiety attacks.

Pictures of Strictly Come Dancing star Anton Du Beke on holiday yesterday sparked a fierce debate among women.
For once, it wasn't the quality of his rumba or the passion of his tango that provoked so much comment, but the fact that his back and upper arms were extremely hairy.
For some women, a hairy man is the acme of masculinity; for others, only a smooth torso is truly desirable.
Do women prefer a man to be hairless or hirsute?

An 86-year-old Sulphur Bluff woman was killed Saturday afternoon in a two-vehicle collision on State Highway 19 south at Mahoney Road, just north of Sulphur Springs. At least two others were transported to the hospital for non life-threatening injuries.
Laurine Foley was pronounced dead at the crash site at 4:45 p.m. by Precinct 2 Justice of the Peace Ronny Glossup, Texas Department of Public Safety troopers noted on crash reports.
Hopkins County and Dike firefighters, sheriff's deputies, emergency medical services personnel and troopers were dispatched at 4:17 p.m. Saturday and Sulphur Springs Fire Department at 4:19 p.m. to State Highway 19 at FM 1537, where two cars reportedly crashed, trapping at least one person and fatally injuring one, according to sheriff's reports.
Linda Blake, 53, was reportedly driving a 2010 Chrysler Sebring south on State Highway 19. Foley was a passenger in the Sebring. Amanda Edmonson, 31, of Sulphur Springs was driving a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro north on SH 19. Krista Vaughan, 23, of Sulphur Springs was a passenger in the Camaro.
Blake failed to yield right-of-way to the northbound Camaro before turning left onto FM 1537 in the Sebring, causing the two cars to collide, noted Texas DPS Trooper Justin Harrison, who lead the crash investigation.
Foley died at the scene. Blake, Edmonson and Vaughan all reportedly received "non-incapacitating" injuries. At least two of the other women in the crash were transported by ambulance to Hopkins County Memorial Hospital in stable condition Saturday, according to DPS reports.

Normally, the response includes an HTTP status code of 200, meaning "OK." Specifically, code 200 indicates that the URI refers to a valid resource, and that resource is included in the output of the response. Different circumstances call for different error codes. For example, if there was an error condition internal to the server that prevented the output of the intended data, the server can return a code of 500, meaning "Server error."
The request handler provides an
error(...) method that prepares an error response with the given error code. For example:
class MyHandler(webapp.RequestHandler): def get(self): self.response.out.write("You asked me to do something.") try: doSomething() self.response.out.write("It's done!") except Error: # Clear output and return an error code. self.error(500)
error(...) method takes a numeric HTTP status code, and prepares the request handler's response to use that status code. It also clears the output buffer, so the handler can prepare successful output using
out then call
error(...) later if there is a problem.
Another common use of status codes is to redirect the user's browser to a different URI. The redirection can be permanent, indicating the URI was once valid for the requested resource but all future requests for the resource should use the new URI. Or, the redirection can be temporary, indicating the requested URI is valid but the browser should request a different URI for now. A common technique for web applications is to use a temporary redirect in response to a successful form submission, preventing the user from accidentally using the browser's "back" button and re-submitting the form.
The request handler provides a
redirect(...) method to prepare a redirect response. For example:
class FormHandler(webapp.RequestHandler): def post(self): if processFormData(self.request): self.redirect("/home") else: # Display the form, possibly with error messages.
redirect(...) takes the destination URI as its first parameter. By default, it establishes a temporary redirect. The optional argument
permanent=True uses the permanent redirect code.
The request handler methods
error(...) and
redirect(...) change the HTTP status codes for the response.
redirect(...) also uses an HTTP header to communicate the new URI to the client. The
Response object provides methods for setting the status code and HTTP headers directly.
The response object's
set_status(...) method changes the status code for the response. The method takes the numeric status code as its first parameter. An optional second parameter specifies a message to use instead of the default for the given status code. The
set_status(...) function is a member of
self.response not
The response object's
headers property is a
wsgiref.headers.Headers instance that represents the HTTP headers for the response. For information on how to set headers, see the
wsgiref.headers documentation.
class StatusImageHandler(webapp.RequestHandler): def get(self): img_data = get_status_image_for_current_user() self.response.headers["Content-Type"] = "image/png" self.response.headers.add_header("Expires", "Thu, 01 Dec 1994 16:00:00 GMT") self.response.out.write(img_data)

AUSTRALIAN researchers are making a world-first study to try to prevent the onset of type 1 diabetes by treating children with their own umbilical cord blood.
The researchers hope the blood, rich in stem cells and immune cells, will help reboot the immune systems of children at risk of the condition, which happens when the body attacks and kills its own insulin-producing cells.
The study's leader, Maria Craig, said type 1 diabetes had an enormous impact on the children who developed it, requiring several daily injections and tests.
"You can't have a day off because if you miss your medications it does have terrible implications in terms of your risk of complications and reduced life span," Associate Professor Craig said.
A baby's umbilical cord and placenta are usually thrown away after birth, but the blood remaining in them is rich in cells that researchers hope will one day treat several conditions.
Some parents pay thousands of dollars to privately store cord blood, but critics say their anxieties are preyed on because there is only a small chance the blood will be useful.
Children aged between one and 12 who have a close relative with the condition and blood stored with the private bank Cell Care will be eligible for the new study.
They will be screened for antibodies that indicate they are at risk of type 1 diabetes, and those with two or more could participate.
Professor Craig said research indicated more than half of those children would develop type 1 diabetes within two years.
"Once you have those two antibodies the immune process [that kills the insulin cells] is well and truly under way," she said.
The medical director of Cell Care and a co-investigator with the study, Mark Kirkland, said recent research had examined using cord blood cells to reverse type 1 diabetes, but by then the damage had been done.
Cell Care, the largest private bank in Australia, charges about $1500 up front, plus a $175 annual storage fee.
Associate Professor Kirkland said that worldwide one in every 2000 to 2500 people with stored cord blood used it, partly because it was an emerging industry.
"It's one of these Catch-22 situations that people are storing cord blood in the hope that it will be a future therapy, but a lot of the diseases you are hoping to treat with cord blood won't happen in that population for years or even decades," he said.
The president of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, Michael Permezel, said the study was exciting because it could provide some much needed information for parents.
"At the moment the information remains unclear, so we need more research to help families decide whether or not to spend what is a large amount of money," Professor Permezel said.
He said public cord blood banks were already well stocked with blood for the treatment of childhood cancers such as leukaemia, with the exception of blood from some ethnic groups.
The research team hopes to screen between 600 and 800 children, of whom about 3 per cent are likely to be eligible to participate in the study, which will be run through the Kids Research Institute at the Children's Hospital at Westmead, western Sydney.
Cell Care is supporting the research financially.

Brand Name: Cogentin
Benztropine is used for:
Treating Parkinson disease in combination with other medicines. It is also used to control tremors and stiffness of the muscles due to certain antipsychotic medicines (eg, phenothiazines).
Benztropine is an anticholinergic. It works by decreasing the effects of acetylcholine, a chemical in the brain. This results in decreased tremors or muscle stiffness.
Do NOT use benztropine if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in benztropine
- you have angle-closure glaucoma, bleeding problems, esophageal achalasia, myasthenia gravis, intestinal or urinary blockage, or ulcerative colitis

Some medical conditions may interact with benztropine. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription medicine, nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you have an enlarged prostate, irregular heartbeat, glaucoma or risk factors for glaucoma, tardive dyskinesia, or urinary retention
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with benztropine. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Phenothiazines (eg, chlorpromazine) or tricyclic antidepressants (eg, amitriptyline) because serious, sometimes fatal side effects may occur, including paralysis of the intestines, increased body heat, or heatstroke
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if benztropine may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use benztropine:
Use benztropine as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.

Explore Tagaytay Once More: Sky Ranch Tagaytay is now open
We went up last weekend in Tagaytay to meet up some travel agents which are cooking up some deals with Philippine Travel Blog. We hit McDonalds past Summit Ridge to have breakfast but before reaching for the hot coffee at the fast food, we were surprised to see the new theme park in at the left side.
Sky Ranch Tagaytay is now open for business – at least the rides are already in operation. The entrance fee is P100, but you pay only P50 until May 2, 2013. The theme park was launched in February 28 and just opened on March 2.
Rides fee starts at P50 for most of the rides but for the giant Ferris wheel you have to spend P150 for a 10-minute ride. You can enjoy horse back riding for P250 for half an hour.
Some important notes you need to know before going to the SkyRanch Tagaytay:
1. Parking fee is P50 flat rate.

Presented by The Protean Theatre Company at the Philip Bosakowski Theatre, 354 W. 45th St., NYC., Dec. 14-30.
"The Doctor in Spite of Himself," Molière's spirited romp through the world of domestic woes, has a wise friend in director-adapter Owen Thompson. This production is laugh-aloud funny and more. It's a clever postmodern burlesque of communication gaps—not to mention medical chicanery.
The play opens at a gallop as we catch Sganarelle, the rubber-limbed woodcutter, and his equally lithe wife in mid-squabble. Keith Michel (who has probably been studying Bill Irwin) and Lisa Ann Goldsmith are beautifully matched clowns—from their broad and subtle comedy routines to the freeze frames and dumb-show imbroglio. To punish him for beating her, she informs two strangers that if he is thrashed soundly he will confess to being a brilliant physician who can cure their mistress.
Sganarelle, the clever servant and centerpiece of the comedy, is joined by a host of sexy, dumb, and pretentious servants—all speaking a unique idiom. Geronte, the boss, (David H. Hamilton) may practice plain English, but one servant (Gregory Couba) is all phat rap, another pure Latina via Fran Dresher (Tristana Gonzalez), and the third (John Grace) is blond, prolix, and 17th century. They have to translate to understand each other. At one point, a dictionary is consulted.
The medical puzzle is the daughter's muteness, initiated when Daddy announced she (Cynthia Enfield) was to wed an old man and never, never the handsome Leandre (Brian Voelcker). Silence becomes her; she is a termagant. The theme of miscommunication is linked to Sganarelle's discovery of powers he never knew he had, and he decides medicine is better than woodcutting. He was, after all, the best of all the physicians consulted.
Molière was notorious for insulting the audience and needing Louis XIV to ride to the rescue. Thompson's stereotypes, which skirt the offensive, would do "Mad TV" proud. The actors can't quite hold them, but why quibble when the concept is so inventive. Even the scenery by Rych Curtiss is a caricature—of French flat wings (no grooves). I think if Molière's ghost is standing in the back of this tiny Off-Off Broadway theatre, he's probably applauding.

Hello, everyone. I'm Ed Jimison, Technology Evangelist with Intel IT.
In this series of blog posts I'll talk about the concept of device-independent mobility and how client virtualization technologies are key to making this concept a reality.
First of all, what do we mean by device-independent mobility? Remember way back when, in the nineties, when the term mobile client was starting to be used a lot in the industry? The mobile client was a new approach to desktop computing; take the desktop that was fixed to… well, your desk's top, add a rechargeable battery and an ethernet dongle, and voila, you had a mobile client. People didn't want to be tethered to the desk anymore. They wanted to take the computer and information with them, and this was the first step toward enabling this.
Now, fast-forward to the present. We've made huge strides in mobile technology and it's only going to get better. Device-independent mobility is similar in concept to the mobile client but it takes it up a notch or two. The central idea is that as a corporate employee I can now access my IT services, applications, and data from any device, anytime, anywhere. Whether I'm sitting in the waiting room with an elderly parent waiting for the late doctor, or sitting on my couch watching the baseball scores, I would be able to get to the important services I need using whatever device I had access to at that moment. It's making my corporate world mobile and, most importantly, allowing it to be available to me from a variety of devices.
So remember that device-independent mobility isn't about working more hours. It's about making it easier to get access to whatever information you need as you go about your busy day. . Intel envisions a Compute Continuum that provides a seamless, consistent experience across devices. It makes sense to include IT applications and services as part of this continuum. We've already started big with email and calendar access on personally owned devices. The next challenge is to take our services to in-vehicle infotainment systems, smart televisions, context-aware tablets, and whatever else the world comes up with.
In my next blog post I'll talk about the 3 key elements that form device-independent mobility and how client virtualization plays an important part in making this a reality.

text: I've had this computer for a few years now, and I think it's great because it's so small and stylish and can easily be placed among your living room equipment (tv, stereo etc.). On the downside it becomes very hot in there with a powerful prescott (mine gets to above 80 C!) because of the limited airflow. There's also an issue with noise from the hd being heard through the sound output.

Tokyo Disney Hosts Its First Same-Sex Wedding
"My partner Hiroko and I just held a gay wedding at the Tokyo Disney Resort. Even Mickey and Minnie are here to celebrate with us!"
Koyuki Higashi shared the above photo and the happy news of her wedding ceremony at the Tokyo Disney Resort in a tweet that has amassed nearly 7,000 retweets and sparked an article in The New York Times. While Mickey and Minnie blessed the couple, unfortunately the government doesn't agree: gay marriage is not currently legal in Japan. Still, a huge congrats to Koyuki and Hiroko, and let's hope it's not too long before marriage equality is a reality around the world. [Twitter via NYT]

About the HPI
The Happy Planet Index (HPI) is the leading global measure of sustainable well-being.
The HPI measures what matters: the extent to which countries deliver long, happy, sustainable lives for the people that live in them. The Index uses global data on life expectancy, experienced well-being and Ecological Footprint to calculate this.
The index is an efficiency measure, it ranks countries on how many long and happy lives they produce per unit of environmental input.
The 2012 HPI report ranks 151 countries and is the third time the index has been published.
The index uses global data on life expectancy, experienced well-being and Ecological Footprint.
Each of these components is based on a separate measure:
Experienced well-being.
If you want to know how well someone's life is going, your best bet is to ask them directly. In this year's HPI, experienced well-being is assessed using a question called the 'Ladder of Life' from the Gallup World Poll. This asks respondents to imagine a ladder, where 0 represents the worst possible life and 10 the best possible life, and report the step of the ladder they feel they currently stand on.
Life expectancy.
Alongside experienced well-being, the HPI includes a universally important measure of health – life expectancy. We used life expectancy data from the 2011 UNDP Human Development Report.
Ecological Footprint.
The HPI uses the Ecological Footprint promoted by the environmental charity WWF as a measure of resource consumption. It is a per capita measure of the amount of land required to sustain a country's consumption patterns, measured in terms of global hectares (g ha) which represent a hectare of land with average productive biocapacity.
See Appendix 1 in our report for a full methodology.
Most measures of national progress are actually just measures of economic activity; how much we are producing or consuming. By only using indicators like GDP to measure success we are not accounting for what really matters, producing happy lives people now and in the future.
The HPI puts current and future well-being at the heart of measurement. It frames the development of each country in the context of real environmental limits. In doing so it tells us what we instinctively know to be true – that progress is not just about wealth.
It shows that while the challenges faced by rich resource-intensive nations and those with high levels of poverty and deprivation may be very different, the end goal is the same: to produce happy, healthy lives now and in the future. The HPI demonstrates that the dominant Western model of development is not sustainable and we need to find other development paths towards sustainable well-being.
On a scale of 0 to 100 for the HPI, we have a target for nations to aspire to by 2050 of 89. This is based on attainable levels of life expectancy and well-being and a reasonably-sized Ecological Footprint.
The new results confirm that we are still not living on a happy planet. No country is able to combine success across the three goals of high life expectancy, high experienced well-being and living within environmental limits.
Whilst many high-income countries score low because of their large Ecological Footprints, the lowest income countries in sub-Saharan Africa tend to rank even lower because of low life expectancy and low well-being.
High and medium development Latin American countries score highest in delivering fairly long and happy lives with a relatively low Ecological Footprint.
You can explore the data here.
The Happy Planet Index was created by Nic Marks, Founder of the Centre for Well-being at nef (the new economics foundation), and first published in July 2006.
Its message resonated with hundreds of thousands of people around the world – within two days of its launch, the report was downloaded and read in 185 countries worldwide.
In June 2009 the second edition, HPI 2.0, was published.
In July 2010 Nic gave a talk at the prestigious and influential TEDGlobal conference about the HPI.
The HPI is a clear and meaningful barometer of how well a nation is doing. This is its key value. But although the HPI measures a lot, it does not measure everything.
Countries that do well on the HPI suffer many problems and many high-ranking countries are tainted by important human rights issues. And though one would expect the infringement of rights to negatively impact on the well-being of some people in the country, the HPI does not set out to directly measure those rights. Furthermore, because it is likely that people directly affected by extreme human rights abuses represent a minority, the population average well-being score may not fully reflect this harm.
Because of this, we do not recommend that the HPI be the only thing that countries measure. Blind pursuit of a single objective, whilst disregarding the means to achieving it, is dangerous. nef has developed a measurement framework of which HPI is a component alongside other measures such as economic performance and environmental pressure.
Alongside the latest report, nef is launching the Happy Planet Charter.
We are calling on governments to adopt new measures of human progress that establish the goal of delivering sustainable well-being for all at the heart of our societal and economic decision making process.
And we are calling on the United Nations to develop an indicator that builds on the Happy Planet Index and measures progress towards the key goal for a better future: sustainable well-being for all.
